Experiment. Character Sheet. Some of the text is a bit wonky. I might try to have it rendered again, but without the text so I can add it myself.

lol, well, you got me there! But I think for the most part almost every texture should have the tunic or robe or whatever cloth it is usually slung over the left shoulder.

Vertically. They seem to encroach upon the belly area.

(tunic should go over left shoulder so right arm is free, that goes for all of these) Looks good. I think his pectorals could be slightly higher tho, anatomically. *and yes, the old texture's pecs are too low too

2gb to the forum is too large, IMHO. Eventually we'll be porting the forum over to new software and having massive files like this may create issues (or maybe not).

Well, there are only a few ways to make the Elite version of the standard archer stand out from the basic and advanced ranks. Armor is pretty much the only way. Generator is chatgpt. I specifically asked for a Manchu bow, but it makes it look like what you see there. I even gave it references.

Cape looks great, ngl. The game needs a better variety of capes, too. We essentially use 1 cape texture for 90% of units.

Not quite there, but a little bit better Bonus, Infantry Archer:

I delete a hundred spam posts per month probably.

Gupta Cavalry Archer

Five Gupta heroes

Nice! Can you make a female Kushite one like this with a leather eye patch over one eye? For Amanirenas.

Chandragupta II

Key Gupta Rulers (319–550 CE): Chandragupta I (c. 319–335 CE): Recognized as the real founder of the empire, he took the title Maharajadhiraja (King of Kings) and consolidated power in the Ganges Valley through his marriage to the Lichchhavi princess Kumaradevi. Samudragupta (c. 335–375 CE): Often considered the greatest ruler, he is known as the "Napoleon of India" for his extensive military campaigns in northern and southern India. He was also a patron of arts and a poet, earning the title Kaviraja. Chandragupta II (c. 375–415 CE): Known as Vikramaditya, he expanded the empire further, particularly against the Sakas in western India, and moved the capital to Ujjain. His reign is recognized as the height of the Golden Age, with his court famed for the scholar Kalidasa. Kumaragupta I (c. 415–455 CE): Son of Chandragupta II, he maintained the vast empire and founded the famous Nalanda University. Skandagupta (c. 455–467 CE): Renowned for successfully defending the empire against the invasions of the Huns, preserving the cultural achievements of the previous eras, though the cost of the wars brought financial strain. Probably a good list to pull from.

I mean, I'd be paying to host the site regardless?

That's a really good improvement. Thanks for taking my critique to heart. Is the normal map correct for the women's faces? Something odd happening with their cheekbones.

Just easier for modder readability if horizontal, is all.

Methinks it would be interesting if the AI mixed it up a bit and tried different mixes of units in its attacks more than it currently does. Perhaps we can add more personalities to the mix beyond Aggressive, Defensive, Balanced, which try specific types of units for different strategies or tactics.

What do you guys think is the best platform on which to build a mod's website? This is for a guy (me) with little website coding knowledge. I used to be big into making websites 20+ years ago, but none of those skills have been expanded since then (style sheets were the height of innovation, lol). So, maybe Squarespace? Wix? Anyone with any experience with hosts such as these? I'm looking to build a website for Delenda Est. A few years ago I started one on fandom.com, but deleted it after experiencing severe frustration with the platform's ads and limitations. So, something like Wix or Squarespace where I pay a small fee per month is fine. Even free is fine as long as they don't plaster ads everywhere.

256x128 you mean?

The Suebian knot here looks much better than the current one.

While you're doing good work here with skills I do not possess, I think the aesthetics aren't quite there. The men clearly have the same face, just different hair colors and facial hair. The women look severely swollen. Everybody just has a "Cro-Magnon" or "Neandertal" look to them. It's great to have normal mapped heads in the end, whatever the aesthetic. Very nice. We definitely could do that on a few things like this to save some triangles.

Any way we can have the head geometry hint at some ears?

A vast improvement!

Good call, Vlad. The normal maps may be inverted.
