That would be a nice feature for the base game, definitely. Don't just leave it for a mod!

This looks awesome, btw. I have no criticisms.

I am not Sundiata, but I do remember reading a passage about the Kushites using a mixed formation of troops, each with his own weapon, including swords, spears, and pikes.

Looks way better. Can you straighten their left arms a bit?

Suebians = Early Germans representation (think: Teutoburg Forest era, 1st century BC-2nd century AD) All thatched roofs We can use these as a basis for a Vanilla-compatible version of the Germans (as Sundiata mentions, Cimbri War era, 2nd century BC), but Delenda Est's version will be Suebians and don't have to conform to Vanilla norms. Lighter Cavalry, lighter armor, emphasis on melee combat Goths = Late Germans (migration period, Western settlement, Hunnic Wars, 3rd to 6th century) representation Visigoths and Ostrogoths, either a split at the beginning (similar in style to Hyrule Conquest) or at City Phase (like AOM). More shingle roofs. More use of stone. Heavier Cavalry, More Armor, More Archery

Can anyone check out the civ select code in DE for me? Got a new error: ERROR: JavaScript error: gui/civsel/civsel.js line 203 TypeError: Engine.PopGuiPageCB is not a function returnCiv@gui/civsel/civsel.js:203:1 __eventhandler97 (press)@__internal(6) press:0:1

Also can you make the doorways larger. I'm thinking of ingame scale.

I put movie quotes in my empty .DELETED files. Lol

In front of the CC can there be a footpath to the door and maybe some posts or statues or something to fill out a square footprint? CC can also have baskets and other items. Great Hall can have a stack of weapons and shields outside the doorway and along the sides.

The twisted sandwich bag wrist looks weirder than just using the old "unrealistic" wrist position.

God's honest truth right there.

Old: Could be better, but is in a more or less good angle. New: Spear at a weird angle for some reason. No one would stand there like this. Old: You can see the left arm is straighter and the right arm is bent more. I also don't see what you mean by the wrist needing to twist. This pose looks dynamic, ready for action. New: You see the bow is brought in closer to the crotch. Both arms are bent now and the bow made more horizontal. A less dynamic pose, hesitant.

I'd put at least a 1 pixel black stroke around the numerals. It would also be nice if the numerals were a separate texture that could be overlaid on the tech portrait by the ui. Perhaps by a new line in the tech files.

One is the current model, and the other is the original Spartan civic center model. As it is a quite nicely done model, it'd be great if it was kept in the game. Probably best to rename the actor to civic_center_2 or something instead of civic_centre.

I have suggested previously that we should rebase the game to use Civic Center exclusively throughout, down to the AI and actors and templates, et al.

swordsman/attack_melee_shield_a and swordsman/attack_melee_shield_b are identical as far as I can tell. Both are stabbing motions. I think _a needs to be a hacking motion like attack_melee_shieldsmall_a.

Yeah. Old on the left, new on the right. You can see that the new ones are better artistically, but I would say a lot of the old ones are more "readable" than the newer ones. I think the new ones are largely an improvement, but I think many of them could be tweaked to be better from a gameplay camera viewpoint. Part of the problem I think is that the new ones are also 512x512 which get antialiased quite a bit when zoomed out and the details get lost.

Any thoughts about the shield capes? They are a neat detail, but right now have no animations so look like stiff cardboard attacked to the bottom of the aspides. lol

Any idea why they all need to be 512x512? Unit body textures are 256x256 (which is plenty).

Yep. Just some of the patterns need to be bolder, and a lot of the noise/dirt needs removed. You have to be able to see the patterns at standard camera zoom. Right now, it feels like they were made for some kind of Unity-based RPG. Not hating, these are great work. Just offering some opinion for what it's worth. I want the game to look good just like you do.

A major problem is all of the noise/dirt thrown all over everything. Whereas the old shields looked parade-ready, these look like dirt was smeared everywhere and to make it worse, the noise is almost always the same pattern.

Also, shouldn't pikeman_base be base_pikeman?

Some of the newer animations aren't as good as @Enrique's originals. The archer idle, for instance, the right arm is tucked in strangely. The hoplite attacks are now more cartoony. Hoplite idle, the spear is stuck into the ground at a weird angle. Things of that nature.

I'll get you some after work. Lol
