    I remember reading the scutum was not solid wood, but rather laminated wood. There is a difference. One is a solid piece and the latter is achieved with layers of wood called plies. It's also possible the aspis was constructed in strips of wood and shaped on a rudimentary lathe. But there are few actual examples of either shield since the wood decays.

    I wonder if there's an open source codec and player 0 A.D. could easily use.

    Perhaps something that tells you where the attack is occuring, like: Attack Alarm Outward A unit or outpost is attacked outside of the player's territory. Attack Alarm Home A unit or building within the player's territory is attacked. Each can have an accompanying sound that tells you a little more information: Attacked by an animal Attacked by an enemy unit [non-siege] or building Attacked by a siege weapon Just some ideas. I liked in AOE3 that when the town center was attacked you could hear a sound effect of the townspeople panicking and running around. Also, music got more intense when you attacked a town center or fortress in AOM.

    They don't look bad here, it's just putting player color all over the armor runs contrary to the rest of the textures.
  5. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    That's... not what I meant. But you do you dog. You wouldn't make a muscled cuirass be player color, right?

    That's what the id tag is for, in the animations line of the actor or variant file. mfw waiting for an autobuild

    Had the chance to take a look. 1. The major issue with the animations are that the legs and feet are splayed too far apart. Most animals, and I assume camels are the same, position their feet close to their centerline when walking, so that their legs come down at a slight angle [imagine a line drawn from the hip or shoulder of the leg down to where the feet meet the ground, it should be a slight angle inward toward the centerline, not completely 90 degrees]. The elephant animations are wrong in this way too. lol. 2. I like the kneeling it does when gathering meat! Good job. I only wish we could have transitional animations! 3. I think the death can be like 20% slower as they fall. 4. Would be nice to have a couple of different idle animations. Right now the camel looks rather bored. Would be hilarious if the camel chews the cud as it stands there. https://media.giphy.com/media/qYr8p3Dzbet5S/giphy.gif

    What's sting/clangor? Hack and Crush damage? Cool program though! Would be very useful. As far as siege differentiation, you're right, things could be made to be more different between civs. Though, IMHO, mostly that should be done with Civ Bonuses [which are limited to only a few per civ] and Technologies [where the player can choose how they want to differentiate their units based on current battlefield conditions]. The Roman bonus in siege is basically one of their civ bonuses.

    A: "Available Population" sounds good for the amount of population slots available because of the amount of housing built. B: "Maximum Population" or "Population Limit." What players say in chat will always vary from what the game says. "Rax" instead of "barracks" for instance. So, they can say "pop cap" when they mean "Population Limit."

    Use shield_arm attachment point like the other pikemen and adjust the model from there.
  11. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    Please please, do not use player color like that. It is very inconsistent visually from other textures to do that. I'm talking about making the whole armor soft player color. I tried some of your Greek armor textures with all that player color all over the linothorax and it did not look good. It washed out a lot of detail.
  12. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    Needs the cobra on his forehead, right @Sundiata?
  13. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    Yeah, I think the khopesh should be redone too. It has no thickness either, so edge-on it disappears. That's the Noble/Royal Archer. Probably rename to Kush_champion_infantry_archer
  14. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    Also with the Han you potentially entice a bigger market for the game.
  15. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    Granted, but I think the Han would be a great addition to the main game since they were such a huge faction in the time period. Smaller civs like Thebans, maybe leave for mods.

    #1- @stanislas69, @LordGood, @Enrique: Long tunic meshes, both male and female, need their UV mapping fixed, for they mirror the bottom half of the long tunic, which is not desired. m_armor_dress's UV map looks to be even more scrwey: #2 - @Sundiata: Surely the pikeman shouldn't have a shield that large. I remember seeing one of your references [a temple painting/sculpt?] where the pikeman depicted had a small round shield, almost Hellenistic in nature, though the image was rather basic and low detail.
  17. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    Right, the Temple Guard techs could be attack/speed techs [fervor, faithfulness, etc.], while the Noble->Royal techs for the archer and cav could add armor.
  18. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    Idea. What if they're Noble Archers and Noble Cavalry first, then they have tech that upgrades them to Royal Archers and Royal Cavalry? The Apademak/Amun champs have their own techs, so maybe they could too.
  19. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    Bruh, very noice. We really need a lion version of this asap. @stanislas69? @LordGood? I posted a great reference somewhere... My only critique of the texture is that the leopard skirt texture looks a bit stretched, but that's the UV's fault.
  20. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    If you have DE, there's a folder called art_files. All the PSDs are there.
  21. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    Nice. Noble Archers or something else? I think the band in the middle is a little too high.
  22. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    Dudes in the middle look more like a hero to me, not a lowly pikeman.
  23. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    No offense but I've answered alllllll of this before ad nauseam.
  24. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    Because I don't want to micro individual units in the middle of a battle. I'd rather micro: charges, formations, facing, flanking, stances, etc.
  25. wowgetoffyourcellphone
    That's just a matter of tweaking the BatchTrainingMultiplier. Also, if battalions are implemented, training one battalion at a time makes sense. You get something like 24 dudes per battalion if you go by my old battalions proposal.
