Hippocrates is in a league of his own.

There is a new RC at https://releases.wildfiregames.com/rc/ There are small changes to the Germans and the warning in on the summary page has been fixed.

Currently stay in Chicago

Buenos días ,tardes o noches; -Así se ven en el juego las facciones africanas; (Sería de gran ayuda que siguieran este foro y compartieran referencias, información, sugerencias ,críticas,ideas etc...) (Só (Solo faltan los Cartagineses ya que aún no tienen la actualización,en unos días subiré las fotos) (Los Yoruba y Mauritania serán incluidos en la segunda versión del mod) Axum Batwa (Nómada) Cirene Garamantes Gétulos/Gaetuli (Nómada) Khoisán(Nómada) Libios(Nómada) Macrobia Mandé-Shoninké Nok Númidas Sao Shona Urewe(Nómada) Axum Batwa (Nómada) Cirene Garamantes Gétulos/Gaetuli (Nómada) Khoisán(Nómada) Libios(Nómada) Macrobia Mandé-Shoninké Nok Númidas Sao Shona Urewe(Nómada) -¿Qué opinan? Disculpen las molestias*

Buenos días o tardes; -Estaba pensando en crear unidades cartaginesas con un aspecto más púnico ya que ahora las facciones Auxiliares (Númidas, Mauretanos,Libios etc) ya existen en el mod como facciones propias y otras ya existen en el juego per se (íberos e itálicos)y se vería como una pobreza cultural en la facción de Cartago. -Ya creé un catálogo de edificios más únicos ,con nuevas texturas y nuevos edificios culturales : -¿Tienen alguna idea para unidades puramente cartaginesas? @Genava55 @Stan` @wackyserious @wowgetoffyourcellphone @Ultimate Aurelian Disculpen las molestias*

US of A. My nickname comes from the name of Ready Player One protagonist Wade Watts (a.k.a Perzival), who in turn took it from the knight who found the Holy Grail in Arthurian legend. Plain old Perzival is usually taken so I added 12 to the end.

Buenos días, -Aquí les dejo las últimas 3 facciones americanas(haciendo un total de 16); Zapotecas (México) Paiute (EE.UU/Great basin) Hisatsinom (EE.UU/Southwest) Disculpen las molestias*

Bom dia,tarde ou noite: -Aqui ,as primeiras facções americanas do Mod, estão a ser actualizadas pelo @Lopess por isso no mod podem parecer um pouco diferentes. Mayas: (Guatemala) Moche/Mochica: (Perú) Desculpen-me pelas inconveniências*

Putting a layer of plaster makes the material ambiguous. It could be unbaked/baked bricks Or it could be wood Like these Both of which are used far more than slabs of stone.(except walls, they had no plaster from reliefs)

Those were by the Mauryans successors. Most of the reliefs, cave art, etc, etc etc are coming from their successors ---->>> Sunga, Satavahana, Kharavela. More stuff survives from these guys. Thei cultures are very similar, so there's no harm in using references from those guys. Mauryans only made one rock cut cave we know of. And you can tell they were just starting to cut through rocks, because it's pretty modest. Stupas used stone or brick. If you see most of the structures behind the walls were made out of either wood or unbaked/baked brick with plaster over it.

^^^^^^^ Plus, a lot of the structures now are overwhelmingly stone based. Or have the brick marks visible(CC, Barracks, etc, etc). When in fact they were mostly wood or plastered over like this. No stone, brick marks should be shown. Chanakya show does an amazing job at recreating that era accurately. Now compare to this texture. http://www.wildfireg...&attach_id=4993 http://www.wildfireg...100#entry259122 This is because you guys went back to Egg inspired original Mauryan work i think.

The walls should pretty much look like this. With the brick marks visible not plastered over like on the relief.

Sketches of each of the relief towers there's definitely more than one way to go about this

I always thought Enrique's tower looks more believable. Like I can image some Mauryan archer in there. It looks like the towers you would see on the reliefs. Looks like a piece of the gate way.

I also made some wooden tower variations and a wooden fortress just in case the stone wasn't working with the historical accuracy

I dont know what these are(it's purpose), but I'm going to post it. Dated to late Satavahana period(2nd century).

And I dont know where to put this so I'll leave it here

I added another variant, and possible upgrade models.

Hey, I'm sketching some Mauryan structures. Heavy wips... just for new non-fancy texture testing and building shapes and modules. I sketched them with nothing specific in mind but the middle and right structures turned into fortress and barracks in my mind. I'm still working on the second set of textures the Mauryans will use for "non-fancy" buildings like houses and such. Since there's very scarce references, suggestions and feedback are highly appreciated, also for textures and main colors.

hmm, I dont know how we're going to get those round huts in there to fit in with the upper class houses, I figure pairing them up might work, since they all seem pretty small

He got it from this image. I've never seen such a thing, but those guys know more than me.

Pre render again

Barracks concept (It's just a concept, not final or chosen design)

The gatehouse depicted doesnt really fit the game's art style very well, so I took the liberty of flattening it out a bit.

Many types of houses from that period. There are hut like houses like these for the common people. Country side. Then there are more advanced ones like these.

\ Triangle shape

This is what i got so far on Mauryan troops props: I'll provide the shields texture source files in .xcf and .psd ready to be painted if someone wants to help me with the shields Test:

Thanks for your suggestions lilstewie I've made the changes. There are no shields for Mauryans yet so I'm giving a try. I found some shield patterns and shapes on the civilization thread, is there any other historical information/references regarding their patterns/symbols/materials?

Instead of a grand looking arch. Maybe using designs like this, I don't know. The top part. They're not forts, but maybe incorporate the top part into it? You'll have to use your imagination. These reliefs are always religious in nature. Showing Buddha's life and stuff. So military stuff is left out for the most part.

More work on textures/main colors: Once finished the texture, I plan to post a .blend file with assets if anyone wants to play with them :

There is an image like this showing the different arch types on the internet. Showing the different designs in different dates like with the stupas above. It would make sense to you guys If I can find it. Mauryans had a thin design like this mostly. The earliest form. Later these archs evolved and became more elaborate and thick. these arches above are Gupta period I believe. Good example

That square outbuilding looks like a good start for the arms of the barracks

I was thinking something more along this line for the barracks...it needs to look grand imo

This will be hard.. I'll re-post some stuff I've posted. Sanghamitra(Ashoka's daughter) goes to Sri Lanka A double masted ship, Satavahana era. Not much detail, but it looks like a large/medium sized double masted ship. http://tech.groups.y...gy/message/3343 Double masted ships from Javaese reliefs. I believe it's Indian influenced, but it's at a very later era(8th,9th). Could be useful though. Smaller ships from that era. More
