references for those units

@Lion.Kanzen: Right now, the thing we need most for the Carolingians is a unit roster and references for those units.

Just wait for an autobuild

The Council is both happy and proud to announce a brand new release!!! What is it? Millennium A.D. is a total conversion mod for 0 A.D. focusing on the Middle Ages. It is divided in two parts, this first one is focusing on the first half of the Middle Ages; the timeframe of Charlemagne and the Viking Age. The name of this release is Cen. This word can be translated as "Torch". The torch is known to every living man by its pale, bright flame; it always burns where princes sit within. What is new? We have included a brand new Skirmish map from Delenda Est (though slightly modified compared to the original) called Brittanic Road: Stanislas69 made various assets for the Anglo-Saxons including a few buildings: lastly, niektb committed various balance and gameplay fixes and updated the mod to work with the latest alpha Who are we? The Council of Modders was formed up of two small modding teams and a few newcomers: Aristeia (about the bronze age) and Millennium A.D. (about medieval times) CoM aims to create a umbrella for all wannabee modders and help everyone needed and of course create their own projects.

Ah, that seems like something that I can copy into my image file

Alright! Then we go with Cen!

I'm a bit stuck between Comitatus and Cen. Which one should we choose? (I'm a bit in favor of Cen because it's a word in the native language and has a nice poem along with it)

well, reading the values isn't the problem, but they don't give the same result in Gimp This is what my gradient overlay looks like:

Hmm, I'm having some issues replicating the outer glow around the soldier and the gradient overlay from the background

My section is done And the full overview: Who's next? Community_Map.zip

@Tiber7: not yet

Congrats everyone!

That might indeed be true, the Siege Workshop looks too clean and prestigious for a workplace. It should look a bit more humble, dirty and military I think...

That's more informative. Let's see if I can re-create it in Gimp

Somewhere in your actor file there is a <material> tag. That should be this: <material>player_trans.xml</material> (this is with only transparency, with AO, normal and specular you need something else) For the second question: <props> <prop actor="props/structures/athenians/barracks_struct_b.xml" attachpoint="root"/> </props> Make a prop tag inside the <variant> tag and set the attachpoint to root (note that you need to make a second actor file for the second mesh)

When I open you PSD (in Gimp) I just get a flat background without drop shadow or background gradient

Me wants to see a tutorial (for the background)

I'll claim the map for the next week. I'll be doing the dark blue section

Nope, the dev of that mod has no relation with 0 A.D. at all but he did use some stuff from 0 A.D. (we already talked about him earlier in this topic)

Nope, Alpha 19 had a longer one

Re: Decorations (I've read your blog at your website): that's no issue at all, small things like that make a building interesting to look at I think you can afford yourselves to decorate the walls of the main building a bit more. for example a few bricks aroud the corners like in (from memory) some seleucid buildings Nice construction concept!

The mountain passages were designed to be unit only

But now you can't play with the barbarian factions anymore
