Akira Kurosawa Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Is it possible to make the design of rams more Chinese? Those amphoras on the shields are a bit confusing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) You have a point. There needs to be a "Chinese" styled model created. Can just use the Han structural texture and add the "Chinese" roofline to the top of the ram. And of course the Greek shields can be done away with.

Stan` Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I think it would be pretty cliché to have chinese roof tiles but we can use the planks and some other elements I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Chinese" roofline? I meant that the Chinese use a Greek-model ram in their siege workshop.

But since I am retired from drawing I can only show the inspiration I would base it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least to make it like the other machines in the game. I read somewhere that they had a metal head. "The Chinese ram used an iron-plated head. After the introduction of gunpowder it added a cannon as well." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_siege_weapons but the reference of that is from: "Turnbull, Stephen (2002), Siege Weapons of the Far East (2) AD 960-1644, Osprey Publishing".

AIEND Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 12 小时前，Lion.Kanzen 说： 它必须像 2 个最后的参考加盖机器 + 攻城攻城锤。 至少让它像游戏中的其他机器一样。 You can basically think that the combination of the two is China's battering ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
