Jeru Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Check out the new album artwork for the 0 A.D. soundtrack:The scene is set in a Greek theater. It contains some weapons and armor (a helmet, a sword, a spear, a shield, a fasces and an arrow), some musical instruments (a lyre and two trumpets), a theatrical mask and an amphora. (An amphora is a ceramic container used in ancient times for transporting and storing wine, oil, grains and other commodities.)Thus, it represents some major themes in the game (antiquity, nation-building and warfare) and contains a reference to music and the arts. We chose to represent 0 A.D. in a theater in self-conscious irony, as if to say, "We're just acting out war, and setting it to this music".For now, the album art will be used on the 0 A.D. Bandcamp page to help make the soundtrack look cooler. The soundtrack itself is released under cc-by-sa and will always be packaged with the game free of charge.Thanks to 0 A.D. contributor Gordon Napier (dashinvaine) for this work of art.

SMST Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Great cover, but tbh, the iron helmet looks a bit out of place. The rest of the cover has this brown-bronze theme to which the helmet is a very sharp contrast. Maybe a nice Corinthian Helmet would fit in better with the rest.

Jeru Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 I like the contrast, but different strokes for different folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythos_Ruler Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 The helmet looks like an Imperial Gallic 'G' with Centurion transverse crest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
