Ah, this looks much better
mine is actually and edit from a much higher poly model, so I guess here and there it looping didn't come as well as I'd expected 
But I like your's a lot, and it would most definitely map better on our textures.
-
We should have start and end cue for animations, this would not only benefit ships, but cavalry as well
-
I just made some changes to shave some polys, how is it? I removed the extra loop from the chest, but if you think its really required, then we can add it in again.
650tris.

I think we can have some artistic liberty with this building, what do you think Michael?

Wow! These are some great models LordGood! Excellent quality
I would only suggest you make the spike like thing on the arch a tiny bit longer, it looks a bit squat now Keep up the good work -
We could replace the dome for the barrel vault, I guess?
-
Well, when I asked, someone said it was better not to make it public

This is from the Mughal period I believe :/

Yes, we'll need an assortment of these for:
Tights/Nothing (as it is now)
Short skirt
Medium (knee-length) skirt
Long (ankle-length) skirt
Pants
Pants w/medium skirt
Long skirt w/ sleeves (some priests)
and maybe others that we may need (maybe Short skirt+skinny build for most archers, special pants or skirt styles for Mauryans). Good thing is though that once we have the base dude decided it should be relatively simple to edit it to suit our wishes.
What do you think about making Basic Citizen-soldiers skinny too? And the Advanced and Elite guys bulkier? Also Champions could have some unique models...
@Kopesh: That would be swell...though I might not have time anytime soon to do anything with them
-
What buildings are left to model?
Here's a quic tower I threw together today, Is the defensive tower still clear?This seems like a pretty good direction... Something we could build upon surely
-
Its in the internal forums, for copyright reasons I believe...
-
Done
With those loops it comes to 766, without them 686 tris What format should I pack the file in?
Attached is the .blend file, for you Enrique
EDIT:
We'll need to have different models for short robe, long robe and trouser-ed units. Maybe I'm missing some more...Armoured, bare-chested etc. What about gauntlets and shin guards?
-
Who does one enable this feature? Foam, waves and shadows don't work for me, though the water looks better... I set 'superfancywater= true' :/
-
Hey Kopesh, thanks so much for the information. I had to draw my own reference since I couldn't find any good ones online, and as you can see, I'm no professional artist
I've made the changes you suggested, is it any better now?
-
What do you think about this then?

There's no need to worry about textures now. Once Enrique finalizes the textures we'll be using that for most buildings

There's a proverb in spanish that says "Con paciencia y saliva, el elefante se la metió a la hormiga"
"with patience and saliva, the elephant stuck it to the ant" xD
I don't mind to spend some time on UV mapping if I get my hands on a new mesh, but modeling lowpoly humanoids is not my expertise
If ur willing to give it a try, then I'll provide the mesh
-
I might be able to do something like this in the near future
Got exams atm 
-
The problem with a new mesh is matching all the textures to it...
-
This is how AOE3 shows units affect by a hero's aura:

Well, they're not priests, definitely. Maybe they're sages or something?
-
How about this for the Celts, instead of researching techs all the techs from the blacksmith, why not instead use one blacksmith for a single tech or weapon (whose effects could be improved) and have those effects last only as long as the blacksmith lasts? Any units trained before the blacksmith was destroyed would still have the effects, but not those trained after it is destroyed.
-
Correct me if I'm wrong... but I don't think they are priest, they are what we call 'sadhus' which means 'simple' or something similar. They are called that because, it seems they give up everything in search for 'liberation'.
-
I think the textures could be a bit darker(or desaturated) and the plaster less white

===[COMMITTED]=== Mauryan Temple
in Completed Art Tasks
Posted
I think we could give the white wall, some kind of color, maybe in the form of decoration. These are some modern Hindu temples, but its just to give you an idea. Maybe we could take some of the motifs from Lion's shield textures and integrated them here somehow...
