Indeed but never knows.

if the game wants save disk space for the users can be nice uses a mod( in this case a free DLC or expansion) to integrate eyecandy and tools for modders in another repo. Like extended version of the game. Works with AOE franchise and Sc2.

Yes, if some art can be deleted from main game can be nice, found in another repo or have previous advice of that descision. in Aristeia ( for example) many textures can be useful to rework. I used as based to start modding.

@wowgetoffyourcellphone In my opinion, is too simple structure, but don't be delete from my game or from the project, and this is even from the art contributions , specially 3D objects. need just adding props, or be part and another structure as prop, but never get deleted, we don't know how can be useful for another user or modder. Enrique have right in that case.

I'm not sure if is even enough good for be an eyecandy.

He make it, now is in the game( eyecandy I guess)

Now is committed , yeah like the topic title.

The heads don't give some gore to the game?

Greek.

You even thing the actual ruins are try to be preserved now than 300 years ago. they are example, the ruins not need millenniums to be deteriorated. Even new building under construction can shoe this damage by water. sorry for late reply. This is more recent, a factory but look like...

Must the same structure but missing roof, or texture stone more deteriorated. in 3D art of all games ( RTS, RPGs) aren't plenty examples only more in detailed games with high poly.

Yeah, but first we can make The concept for persian can be nice use a architectural reference like this. for the another building we need discuss a proper icon concept.

I will try , but those have a specific artist @Pureon I will try to copy his style, I have and idea with Persians but with the other need research a proper icon.

The moss/vine can work in variations. As you show this the normal structure later we can add more props. I found this idea about texture by scary stories. In Europe are "haunted"places like "abandoned abbeys".

I'm not in the computer... But you want use this for main game right? I found the example of was thinking, temple ruins the stone looks very damaged. Yes will be hard or may be not, I help you with this. The colosseum have this waters spots.

You have good point, as modder that I'm... So you are right. This can be useful later for create a whole entity. I thank the texture need improved to look older, like was exposed by weather, to rains etc.

Daphne was a resort town during Seleucid Empire, famous for waterfalls, daphnes, and residence buildings. However, it was also famous for earthquakes and the ancients buildings were demolished during big earthquakes.[2] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harbiye,_Antakya Looks like a wonderful place to vacation. http://flickrhivemind.net/Tags/antakya,harbiye/Interesting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harbiye,_Antakya

there is the site. Well the things those weren't razed by fanatics In Harbiye, a suburb of Antakya, Paradise of Daphne were. Here, according to mythology, Apollo had chased the nymph Daphne, turned into a laurel (Daphne in Greek) by the god Peneus to save her from Apollo's desires. In this paradise, too, according to tradition, Antony and Cleopatra were married. Here a temple dedicated to Apollo, begun in 300 B.C., whose oracle was one of the most famous in the ancient world was. The spectacular Gardens Daphne was enhanced in Roman times, with the erection of new buildings such as the Temple of Jupiter by Julius Caesar, the huge peristyle by the fountain of Castalia built by Hadrian or underground shrine of the goddess Hecate, driven by Diocletian. Unfortunately, this magical place disappeared at the end of the fourth century A.D., devastated after the decree of Theodosius against paganism, and irrationality of Christian radicals. Today, you can wander around this idyllic place, surrounded by waterfalls and streams, and imagine its past magical. http://www.viatorimperi.com/antakya

pre 0AD. here are two topics about that.

ok @LordGood you are right with the temple, is similar to Apollo's temple in Didyma The Book of Wealth: A Study of the Achievements of Civilization Diana and Artemis are equivalents. As the patron of Delphi (Pythian Apollo), Apollo was an oracular god—the prophetic deity of the Delphic Oracle. In Didyma, an oracle on the coast of Anatolia, south west of Lydian (Luwian) Sardis, in which priests from the lineage of the Branchidae received inspiration by drinking from a healing spring located in the temple. Was believed to have been founded by Branchus, son or lover of Apollo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo#Cult_sites Antiochus the Great By Michael Taylor shot History of Antioch https://archive.org/stream/shorthistoryofan00boucuoft/shorthistoryofan00boucuoft_djvu.txt ________ There are three main reasons for associating the introduction of Apollo as the Seleucid patron deity with Antiochus I rather than Seleucus I. The first is that the Seleucid association with Apollo did not begin until Antiochus was co-regent and began in areas under his suzerainty and in prominent sanctuaries to the god (Antioch/Daphne).30 The second is that the standard Seleucid image of Apollo was created and essentially standardized during Antiochus I’s reign. Since the appearance of Apollo on Seleucid coins did not occur before 287, excluding those from Antioch, and the epigraphic evidence suggests that Seleucus I’s first dedications to Apollo at Didyma occurred in 288, it appears that 288-287 marks a period of increased interest in Apollo within the royal house. However, neither in his coinage nor in his dedications at Didyma did Seleucus I explicitly claim that Apollo was his ancestor. Only at the very end of his reign or perhaps after his death was Apollo first presented as his ancestor. Therefore, I argue that the shifting emphasis towards Apollo was a result of Antiochus I’s propaganda emphasising his own legitimacy, rather than a concept developed by his father. However, this does not mean that Apollo did not hold a significant place in the Seleucid pantheon under Seleucus I, only that his direct relationship to Seleucus was subsidiary to the importance of Zeus and other local gods who appear more frequently than Apollo on his coinage. The cithara coins are traditionally linked with statue of Apollo Citharoedus set up at Daphne by the Seleucids96 There are various other stories that connect Seleucus I and Apollo. Some of these may have been generated by Seleucus’ court, while others were the product of later propaganda. There are two stories that are directly related to a visit by Seleucus to the oracle at Didyma. The first story is that of Diodorus 19.90.3, ‚for, "when he had consulted the oracle in Branchidae (Didyma), the god had greeted him as King Seleucus, and Alexander standing beside him in a dream had given him a clear sign of the future leadership that was destined to fall to him in the course of time".100 This story is more likely a creation of later propaganda than its location within Diodorus’ narrative. The final prophecy concerning Seleucus and Apollo is that the oracle at Didyma prophesied that when he won rule of Syria that he should make Daphne sacred to Apollo.109 This follows the account of Seleucus finding an arrow of Apollo that was shot when he was pursuing Daphne. It is interesting that Libanius makes no reference to a family connection between Seleucus and Apollo in this section. It seems that Libanius did not know of the birth myth of Seleucus, as he has just described Seleucus as descended from Heracles. A cult of Apollo was developed at Antioch (Daphne) and the linkage between the local cult figure and the city is the likely cause of this coinage rather than an over-arching Seleucid policy. The cult of Apollo may have been created as a piece of dynastic propaganda. However, none of this evidence demonstrates that the story of Seleucus’ descent from Apollo existed earlier than the co-reign of Antiochus I. THE EARLY SELEUCIDS, THEIR GODS AND THEIR COINS https://books.google.hn/books/about/The_Early_Seleucids_Their_Gods_and_Their.html?id=ZyY8mwEACAAJ&redir_esc=y As the games and festivities were held ostensibly in honor of Apollo, the supposed progenitor of the House of Seleucus and its patron god, and of Zeus Olympios Nikephoros, now the chief divinity of the Seleucid empire, the scene of the celebration was most appropriately the beautiful grove and great temple of Apollo at Daphne, just outside the walls of Antioch. Here was located the famous colossal statue of that god, the work of Bryaxis, made of gold and wood with head and arms of marble. In this temple, too, Antiochus as we know, had shortly before erected a close copy of the chryselephantine statue of Zeus at Olympia, the masterpiece of Pheidias. The special types chosen for the tetradrachms of the commemorative issues perpetuate these two famous statues. On no. 63 we see the laurel crowned head of the Olympian Zeus with his smiling and benignant features, on the reverse of the same coin is displayed the entire statue of the god enthroned, holding out in his hand a wreath -bearing Nike. On no. 64 we see on the obverse the head of the Apollo statue, on the reverse the statue itself, Apollo Kitharoedos in long robes, holding lyre and patera. Small coins of rather unusual denominations, for the Seleucid series, seem also to have been struck. On nos. 65 and 66 the king's head, surrounded with the divine rays, adorns the obverse, the reverse type of the hemidrachm is Athene's aegis adorned with the Gorgo head, perhaps similar to one in gold set up by Antiochus in Athens ; http://www.forgottenbooks.com/readbook_text/The_Seleucid_Mint_of_Antioch_1000848606/37

but... are another temple as oracle in Didyma with the same shape as you make. The neighboring town of Daphne epitomized this ambiance. ust a short distance south a long theriver, terraced on a plateau of cool forests filled with gurgling falls and springs, Daphne provided wealthy Antiochenes with a summer retreat frorn the heat of Antioch (Lib. Ep. 419). The fresh breezes, the healing waters, and the sacred grove of Apollo and Daphne, verdant with the laurel from which Daphne rakes its name, attracted pleasure seekers then just as it does today. Many of the mosaics come from the concentration of elite residences in this suburb. http://www.ancient.eu/article/640/ About Daphne The End of the temple

Earlier myths include traditions that Pythia, or the Delphic oracle, already was the site of an important oracle in the pre-classical Greek world (as early as 1400 BCE) and, rededicated from about 800 BCE, when it served as the major site during classical times for the worship of the god Apollo. Apollo was said to have slain Python, a "drako" a serpent or a dragon who lived there and protected the navel of the Earth.[3] "Python" (derived from the verb πύθω (pythō),[4] "to rot") is claimed by some to be the original name of the site in recognition of Python which Apollo defeated.[5] The Homeric Hymn to Delphic Apollo recalled that the ancient name of this site had been Krisa.[6] Others relate that it was named Pytho and that Pythia, the priestess serving as the oracle, was chosen from their ranks by a group of priestesses who officiated at the temple.

Antioch, I found a great source in my own language. In the forest of Daphne the legend had held the judgment of Paris, where the goddesses called him: the son of King of Troy judge the beauty of the 3 goddesses. The winner was Artemis, but he cheated. Centuries later it would say the wedding between Cleopatra and Mark Antony took in this place, because he could not be a more pleasant frame. Seleucus I built a temple to Pythian Apollo in Daphne's forest/Gardens/Paradise. and in this temple a great and valuable statue of the god who carved Bryaxis was installed. Bryaxis was also responsible for sculpting one of the four faces of the Mausoleum or tomb of Mausolus, one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, and a huge statue of Serapis in Alexandria, which tumble in the film Agora. He also ordered plant a cypress forest, to complete the vegetation that was naturally there. http://www.sofiaoriginals.com/jl102mundohelenistico10.htm about the sculptor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryaxis

We have few details of the ancient Syrian rites; but there is reason to believe that, wherever Astarte, the Dea Syra, was worshipped, whether at Daphne, or at Hierapolis, or at Balbek, or at Aphek, or at Damascus, or in Palestine, one and the same character of cult prevailed. The nature-goddess was viewed as best worshipped by rites into which sensualism entered as an essential element. Profligacy that cannot be described polluted the consecrated precincts, which were rendered attractive by all that was beautiful and delightful, whether in art or nature-by groves, gardens, statues, fountains, shrines, temples, music, processions, shows - and which were in consequence frequented both day and night by a multitude of votaries. And burneth incense upon altars of brick; literally, upon the bricks. It is not clear that "altars" are intended. More probably the incense was burnt upon the tiled or bricked roofs of houses, where the Jews of Jeremiah's time "burned incense unto all the host of heaven" (Jeremiah 19:13; Jeremiah 32:29; Zephaniah 1:5). Brick altars are nowhere mentioned. The Assyrians and Babylonians made their altars of either stone or metal ('Ancient Monarchies,' vol. 2. pp. 36, 37; Herod., 1. 183). The Hebrews in early times had altars of earth (Exodus 20:24). The "altar of incense" in the tabernacle (Exodus 30:1-3) was of wood plated with gold; that of burnt offering, of wood plated with bronze (Exodus 27:1, 2). Solomon's altars were similar. Elijah on one occasion made an altar of twelve rough stones (1 Kings 18:31). The Assyrians used polished stone, as did the Greeks and Romans. http://biblehub.com/isaiah/65-3.htm ___ http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?author=church&book=hammer&story=antioch
