  1. Bracteates could be useful: Shared Divine Imagery Gold Bracteates.pdf (with pictures) From book: The Migration Period between the Oder and the Vistula Also Visigothic art: https://www.worldhistory.org/Goths/ https://www.worldhistory.org/image/3137/visigothic-fibula/ http://users.stlcc.edu/mfuller/spainNationalMuseumVisigoth.html Ostrogothic art: https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/keywords/ostrogothic-art/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Ostrogothic_jewellery For the Suebian, this is difficult, but something generic like a cauldron or a drinking horn could work: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gräberfelder_von_Putensen https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:2nd-century_jewellery_in_Germany https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:1st-century_jewellery_in_Germany
  2. Although the trees are important in Celtic religion, the tree of life is also a Christian symbol. There is so much modern and medieval esoterism behind it, it is difficult to know what is genuinely Celtic. Medieval Celtic art is actually the result of Roman and Germanic influences: https://www.archaeologs.com/w/salin-styles/en http://thethegns.blogspot.com/2017/02/art-styles-part-2-migration-animal.html http://thethegns.blogspot.com/2017/04/art-styles-part-3-insular-art.html I would suggest to use native art from the pre-Roman iron age. Like the Mirror style: https://www.pretanicworld.com/art/the-mirror-style.html This one is nice for the Gauls.
  3. On this regard, Alien Weaponry is a young band very promising:
  4. I like thrash metal very much, notably Kreator, Death Angel and Testament. I also like Amon Amarth, Eluveitie and Tyr. Recently I was more into Orbit Culture, Fit for an Autopsy and Gojira. For fun, let's share a beautiful French poem sung by a Swiss vocalist featured by a Greek metal band:
  5. In Defense of Hard Counters in Real Time Strategy Games https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/in-defense-of-hard-counters-in-real-time-strategy-games Some thoughts about the 'early game' phase of RTS https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/some-thoughts-about-the-early-game-phase-of-rts Have it your way: a case for sub-factions in strategy games https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/have-it-your-way-a-case-for-sub-factions-in-strategy-games
  6. Yeah, it is prefered by casual players but disapproved by regular online players. Although an online player is the kind of person that can play on Arabia 99% of the time, so in a way you need to consider they are quite special.
  7. Sure. If you need other pictures: https://ibb.co/album/Cp6gGH

  9. I simply scanned the file with virustotal, that's a habit I have, especially with SVG because you can hide malicious script in it easily. But in this case I think this is a false positive. I just don't think the script is really necessary, you can see the svg without it.
  10. seems to doesn't like the SVG Pan script inside the SVG file
  11. An old thread but relevant: Edit: Personally I would say it is not the polygon count the issue but the texture resolution. 2000 is good enough with better textures.
  12. If you read the beginning of the page, it says: "Agis, on seeing this, with the royal cohort, which was made up of his bravest men, I. plunged right into the dangerpoint of the fight, and cutting down those who resisted most bravely..." There is also the account of Diodorus Siculus, suggesting in this case he did kill some enemies: Diod. 17.63.4: An interesting event occurred in connection with Agis's death. He had fought gloriously and fell with many frontal wounds. As he was being carried by his soldiers back to Sparta, he found himself surrounded by the enemy. Despairing of his own life, he ordered the rest to make their escape with all speed and to save themselves for the service of their country, but he himself armed and rising to his knees defended himself, killed some of the enemy and was himself slain by a javelin cast; he had reigned nine years.
