For temple, click here. I am thinking a barrel-vault temple, like the one to the right of the stupa in lilstewie's bottom reference.

Enrique, could you go ahead and commit your Fortress? Or are you still adding props and such?

Not yet. Still collecting references for it. Thanks for posting the relevant Wiki info though!

For the temple, I am thinking something like the barrel-vault structure on the right side of this image:

Perhaps a good Merchant Ship. Fishing Boat.

I'm thinking of axing the "stupa" as a standard special structure and just making the Great Stupa of Sanchi the Mauryan "Wonder." The Edict Pillar of Ashoka will remain a "special structure" buildable by the Ashoka hero unit. Eggbird has made an excellent high-poly Pillar of Ashoka, so we should just expand upon that (add a cool base, then a chakra on the top) for the game version, probably with a high-def normal map.

I was thinking a structure that is wider than it is deep. Three large doorways across with barrel vaults above them (not round as in this reference). We'd see Asian (Indian) Elephants inside.

I may split this topic off into other threads (Barracks, Houses, etc.). EDIT: Done!

I feel like it arches its back too much.

You mean "twist" right? And yeah, it might be a little different.

As far as I know, 3DS Max comes standard with its own Collada plugin (AutodeskCollada).

Archer range and Infantry health would go under "military" techs.

I don't see it being all that of a bonus, really.

Added some economic/non-military technologies here: http://www.wildfireg...?showtopic=16631 Feel free to give suggestions.

Or even a rendered sword stuck into the ground or a smoldering city.

Make as many Indian/Mauryan shields as you want to! BTW --

I'm thinking we need to make the game's defeat and victory dialogues more dramatic. Right now, it is rather uninspiring, with a little box that opens up and tells you that you've won. I was thinking something more like this, except without the blood:

I was thinking we should do something like this in the upper left of the screen: Each hero would get a "quick select" icon in the upper left once they are trained.

Would be best to use a generic term rather than "turret" so the code can apply to things like archer units on horseback (thinking "Parthian Shot" here for cavalry archers). Or perhaps "turret" is good enough here too. Can apply to siege weapons on ships as well.
