There may also be some section on the website, that can be accessed only if a certain amount of currency has been reached.
Possibly exclusive access to media only visible to members? (that is, the full list of eyecandy (images/concepts/screenshots), not just the cream that appear in news posts). Personally I'm hoping that ALL media distributed through the intranet will wind up in the Media section of the new site (but filtered for non-staff).

OH yes. Feel free to start over if you like. The attribute list is simplistic enough to not be worth the effort anymore, now that it's not integrated with other resources.

This thread is to keep track of the Art Animal tasks that needs to be done and who is working on which one. Keep it clean, post only when you are going to start a task and when it has been finished and approved or committed by someone of the team.
- Do not post suggestions. Create a new topic or use any suggestion thread.
- Do not post Wips. Create a ===[TASK]=== thread on the Art forum for this matter.
- Do not post references. Use the relevant task thread.
- LEGAL WAIVER: Please read this before contributing and abide by it.
*We can't assure that your models will be used for the final game, and we n 're also looking for a certain quality level, don't get upset if your model doesn't make it into the game, practice is the best way to improve.The following google sheet should be edited to reflect the current state : Google Sheet

SpoilerFAUNA OBJECTS
Environmental Objects Workbook
This listing, though comprehensive, represents the baseline of the kind of objects the Art Department will need to develop. All units listed below are available in the Scenario Editor.
==Attribute List:==
* Availability: The map types in which this animal can be found. For a full list and description of the map types, see Terrain:Map Categories and Types..
- (by map category name): Available in the specified map type.
- All: Normally available on all map types.
- Scenario: Only available through the Scenario Editor or a custom RMS.
* Nature: The manner in which an animal will deal with player units.
- Violent: Will actively attack any unit it encounters, even if not threatened.
- Aggressive: Will attack nearby units if it feels threatened (if they linger within LOS for too long).
- Defensive: Will attack nearby units if attacked.
- Passive: Will never attack units.
- Fearful: Will never attack units. Will typically attempt to flee for short distances when units approach.
* Hitpoints: The amount of life points that an animal has when it is attacked (if not stated, TBD).
* Fattening: The animal's Food value increases at the specified rate while it is corralled.
* Food: The amount of the Food resource that an animal provides when it has been killed (if not stated, TBD).
* Yield: The quantity of Food delivered to the Food Resource Pool per minute when corralled and attended by a servicer.
* Capture: The animal may be captured and corralled.
* Special: Any special traits of the animal.
Animals are NOT replenished on the map during the course of a game session.
Units of this type are gaia-controlled; they are not initially controllable by any player unless through some civ specific characteristic.
All Fauna Objects are animated.

* Capture.
These animals function similarly to AoE/AoK/AoM Relics. They can be captured and placed into a Corral (see Building Hierarchy:Corral).
Once corralled, instead of generating food like domestic animals, they will reduce the resource cost of units that use this animal as a mount.
6 corralled breeding animals reduces the cost by 50%. 3 corralled breeding animals reduces the cost by 25%.
No other animals can be placed in the same Corral.
Breeding animals may be killed, but no Food can be gathered from the corpse.
This ability is not available by default. A civilisation must use one of its Civ Bonuses to earn the right to corral these kinds of animals, and is restricted to two animal types (specified in the Civ Profile) per Civ Bonus.
* Availability: Alpine, Temperate, Steppe, Mediterranean, Savanna, Desert, Semi-Arid.
* Nature: Fearful without Civ Bonus, Passive with Civ Bonus.
* Hitpoints: 100.

* Availability: Steppe, Desert, Semi-Arid.
* Nature: Fearful without Civ Bonus, Passive with Civ Bonus.
* Hitpoints: 125.
* Food: 0.
* Capture.
* Special: Dromedary. "Stench" Aura (as with Persian camels). Special movement rates (see Terrain Objects).
5.3. North African Forest Elephant
* Availability: Mediterranean, Savanna, Tropic.
* Nature: Defensive without Civ Bonus, Passive with Civ Bonus.
* Hitpoints: 200.
* Food: 0.

I must be getting old (or I have too many titles in my sig). I can't remember the last time I actually sat down and watched TV. Well, maybe the occasional covert episode of BtVS ...
When I do feel the need to look at a screen that doesn't come with a keyboard, it has to be silver, span an entire wall, and include a foyer booth selling ludicrously expensive popcorn. And double-chocolate ice-cream. Mmm, icecream ...

Welcome, Larry. But if you think this DD is long, you should have seen its predecessor.
-
1-2.5 hours to get from one side of the city to the other by bus, via two (rarely) connecting buses. Thank you City Council for providing us with a reliable, efficient public transport service.
... Hmm, did that qualify as a flame?
-
The fact that they would suddenly have to revert to English to do so would also be a bit strange. I understand where you're coming from with it, Tim (I love those Blizzard clips too), but it's not really feasible in this case for consistency reasons.
Keep in mind also that if we had any English voiceovers, there would have to be a version of them for each language we support. One advantage of this method is that the audio is universal (ie hardly anybody will be able to understand it).

I guess I'm the only guy on the planet who still uses Win 98 SE ...

Well, if we had to narrow the scope down to public places, I think that comparatively that would be first choice.
I think we've officially descended into toilet humour ...

One more *bump* to add to my post count ...

Street cred?
My father works at Jaguar, so we get this special deal where you rent a brand new vehicle on a monthly basis, then trade it in for a new one at the end of every year. The options are very limited, but since insurance, tax and MOT are all included, it saves a lot of hassle.
So I'm currently driving an aqua Ford KA (I get a great rate too, presumably as it only has two doors).
The bummer is that I don't have a license. Failed it three times, and my fourth is coming up in a couple of weeks.
-
*looks at his own post count*
I work too hard ...
-
It's really great to have you back, Brad. Let me know if you have any questions about 0 A.D. (you should have my email).
-
That's a really inventive use for those textures, Jason. Sleek work.
-
I'd have to vote for the Persians. It's kind of an occupational hazard (on account of being responsible for designing them).

Hardcore civ-on-civ action ...

If all goes well, I should have my driver's license this Friday. I sure hope so, as it'll be my fourth attempt at the test.
