Good to see you back LordGood. My only remark on the temple will be that the entrance seems hyper narrow ! Of course we need to place the columns and they look good that way, but the entrance width feels like just enough for a human body... Maybe you could give more space between the two central columns. I don't think it will trouble the general look. All the rest is superb.

Good luck Nexugot for this very ambitious project ! Medieval era is probably my favourite time in History and I would love to see the 0 A.D. game engine supporting such historical period! That said, considering the huge work it is to achieve a single civilization in a good-looking way, I think you will need a team around you. This project seems too much for a single person! But anyway, best luck and yeah, feel free to request advices!

Pretty good start Josh ! I agree with the "grand" approach, so, I suggest having it even more effective. Here is a super-quick mockup of your model to have two parallel naves : This is a very rough idea, but basically I imagine having an important part of the market sheltered (from sun, or monsoon rains). Maybe having a third nave would work too. If you keep such roof structure, I suggest you make some use of all this empty space up inside, like hanging market shelves or timber beams, hanging products (carpets ? food ?).

Interesting task.

I'm very interested by improvements of the farming system. That's an interesting aspect of the settlement in a territory, different for each biome.

I too love those huge wheels and I would love to see them in 0 A.D. but I don't see them in term of Wonders but rather as special technical buildings giving access to special water technologies. Anno 1404 features a beautiful water wheel building (bottom picture) but curiously on the screenshot, it is not crossing any river...

Indeed wonderful work Matthijs !! I can't wait to see it in the game!!

Beautiful work, and thanks for sharing it ! As Aviv, I appreciate your enthusiasm and your wish to promote the game for Indie of the Year! Like you I enjoy watching the events from low camera angle, but it's true that the game needs to be presented from it's normal point of view. The music is pretty good, reminding me of the famous Inception horns!

It's such a pleasure to have the site released, finally...

I just found this info about a movie projet whose story is set around the 1st century, telling the conflict between Germans and Romans : http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=97838 The film is called Arminius, after the German leader. More infos on that chieftain on Wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arminius Well, that could lead to a very interesting movie! They compare the script to Braveheart's.

Like Mythos_Ruler, I think we need someone who knows the legal aspect of that Swastika issue and we should stick to what it states in the case of the Hindu Svastika. Seriously, there might be no problem about this at all. And like Wraitii, I agree we must ensure the Hindu Swastika won't appear red on black somewhere in-game because that would be much too close to the Nazi version and then definitely offensive. By the way, there's an interesting discussion about the Swastika on this Jewish News site : http://www.thejewishweek.com/blogs/yad/can-swastika-be-rehabilitated I recommend reading the comments ! I know that it's not the opinion of everybody here, but for me, 0 A.D. has a kind of educational aspect, and representing History the best we can is an important part of it. So, for me, the Mauryan must feature the Hindua Swastika. If there is a real legal risk and if an in-game toggle on it is easy to implement, then I'm ok for the toggle idea. But let's first check if it's necessary. For the bare-breasts : same thing. They should be included (that's History), and there should be a toggle to hide them so we are sure it allows any age/kind of players. I suggest those bare-breasts to be hidden by default.

Cool! Ok, now, I'm member of the WFG IndieMod group. After searching for a moment, I haven't been able to find a way to modify the page... Aviv, do you know how that works ?...

Hey LordGood !!! Good to see you back ! As you can see, when you're not there, we talk about bare-breasted women ! BTW, yes, this issue of Indian Svastika & bare breasts definitely is matter for a dedicated thread.

Strange, I don't see any "Membership" or "Join this group" button ... ? Anyway, my username is ludo38. I guess I must appear among the most recent followers of the page. Cool if you invite me, but I'm worried by this absence of "Membership" section...

Sorry but, how do I apply to join the WFG ModDB group ?... When I click on Apply on the page, it takes me to the application form for the WFG forum, not for the ModDB page... OK for the redesign work on this one too.

Thank you Rob. Who manages our ModDB and IndieDB page ? I have my own account but I don't have any right on the page..

Hola Lion ! Que quieres decir con "Very like" ? No es muy ingles !

By the way, count on me for a complete graphic revamp of our ModDB page ! It's been in my to-do-list for a month, and the contest is the perfect reason for speading up that task. I have time for that, so that could be done before sunday.

Indeed it's much to recent for now. Later, that could be a good place.

I've seen many interesting historical illustrations in this gallery : http://www.wrh-illustration.com/ImageArchive/Image_Archive/Image_Archive.html That's the archive gallery of Wood Ronsaville Harlin.Inc, an illustration company. Very high quality of work, with pictures of the ancient world in America, Asia, Africa, etc. A lot of PreColombian to enjoy !

Don't include me in games. I just mentioned I understand spanish for your information, but I don't have time to play, and if I had, I would first try multiplayer in english as a training.

Hi everybody, Wandering on Libre Graphic World blog, I discovered Media Goblin and thought I should inform you about it : http://mediagoblin.org/ Excerpt from their introcution : MediaGoblin is a free software media publishing platform that anyone can run. You can think of it as a decentralized alternative to Flickr, YouTube, SoundCloud, etc. It's also: -The perfect tool to show and share your media! -Building tools to empower the world through decentralization! -Built for extensibility. Multiple media types, including video support! -Part of the GNU project and devoted to user freedom. -Powered by a community of people like you. I think 0 A.D. needs a presence on all the conventional platforms (Youtube for instance), but having an account on such new platform is probably worth it, even though most of its users (open-source friendly) are probably already aware of 0 A.D.

Funny how a a discussion about Defense towers slips to a debate about breasts ! Yeah, LordGood does awesome modeling. We just would like to have news from him. For now he doesn't answer the mails...

Lo entiendo tambien aunque soy frances!

Choosing one language for each civ means making a choice between a variety of languages inside that one civ (like the Celts for example who had around 4 main ones) but I guess we can find manage that somehow. Having one set of voices per civ will really improve the gamer immersion in each culture and I can't wait to hear that in-game. By the way, what language 0 A.D. units are speaking for now ? Personally I would be glad to contribute with my voice. I've got a deep voice (like Mark Knopfler's ). I have free time to record it, though my microphone quality may not really fit... According to the Audio Voice List, we don't yet have words translated for Celts and Iberians for instance. Is there someone specialist on that who could have time now to seach that ? I can give my voice and I can record, but I don't have the skills to find the exact words I'd have to tell. Cool if we can find a way to produce something good.
