Ooops... should be New Scan 4.0! Oh well. You guys like this one? I figured since we won't have much in the way of graphics or art for a while for you loyal WFGamers, I'll give you some more cool scans!

"The Ancient City" by Peter Connolly and Hazel Dodge.

The bad thing about sea battles in AOM, is the STRICT paper-rock-scissors warfare. Sea warfare in AOK was a LOT more interesting.

Just curious on how many children y'all plan to have. I myself already have one. His name's Bryce. I'd like to have at least another one, maybe two.

I've posted a bunch more in the Staff Lounge (for reference purposes). If you'd like, I'll post them in the General Forum too.

Yeah, hang with us! We're pretty hep cats.

The forum sounds like a good idea. I dig it!

The "Rohan" theme from The Two Towers.

That's quite alright. All we'll have to do is strap you to the nearest tree and beat you senseless with rubber hoses. After that it's the "dunk tank" for you. Then, you're one of us again.

Eh?!?!?! A dragon??? No sea monsters???

The screenshot is at Marathon. +100 Points to you Irish. Ken, took for the small white box on the minimap. That should clue you to the area of the map the shot was taken. Look "right" of where Athens (blue blotch) is situated. More on the prospect of making a new ship graphic later.

Eh, just to emphasize... I didn't create these works. LOL. They are scans from books. Just FYI.

"Light!" "Light" you say! A shadow, dark cloud...

Poor Celts. All hail Caesar!

Heh... nope. Okay, another hint: A famous battle was fought here.

Not even close, Ken! lol.... Hint: Look at the minimap.

Maybe this will help everyone in their thoughts and opinions: 1.) The standard sized boat as seen in Age of Mythology. 2.) The standard sized foot soldiers as seen in Age of Mythology 3.) The standard sized siege as seen in Age of Mythology. 4.) Boats scaled up to approximately double the size of standard AOK/AOM boats (as compared to foot units). 5.) The "nearly scale" boat. 6.) Siege engines scaled up approx. 25-30% to more accurately show scale compared to foot units. Thoughts: A.) I think this graphic clearly shows how silly AOK/AOM sized boats truly look. (Not to mention that a perfectly okay/ludicrous strat in AOM to defend against a juggernaut is to send a few archers to take it out). B.) plenty of room on both the mid-sized and Nearly Full sized boats for some units to appear. C.) One can definately fit more than two full sized ships on-screen. Any other thoughts? Comments? I propose we start a new poll with this graphic in the opening post, to see what people think. PS: Some donated currency to the chap who can correctly determine what area of Greece this screenshot was taken!

Uh, guys, you can scale objects in the AOM:TT editor! As far as the "style" of combat, let's just say that at this juncture naval combat is designed to be as far removed from AOK/AOE style as possible - so think "realism." Don't know if I can give you anymore details than that, so I'll shut my mouth. Also, Tonto, I thought my screenshot proved that full scale ships were feasible. One can definately place more than two ships of the size in that screenshot on screen at once. We also don't plan to have 100+ ship fleets like is possible in AOK, but more like 20-25 max. I'll make some more mock ups later guys.

Magic. So, what do you think about the size now?
