Radagast. Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Great list. Fewer buildings makes the vikings unique. Wasn't a shipwreck planned as dock. Or a ship unpackable as CC. (=> Jarl's Hold for inland CC, Ship for shoreline CC)How big should each building be? It looks like we have few historical references for the footprint size of the outpost/tower?

niektb Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 No, a (some) ship trains and is a dropsite, but they're no CC.As for the size, stick with history (if we find references for it. Just compare it with the longhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenknight32 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 You could get some good ideas for the temple or sacred grove here:http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/sacspace.shtmlApparently they did build some temples, but outdoor worship was the most common practice.

Le Druide Gaulois Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Very nice, I'd just change the fence texture to rock, but other than that, it's just how I meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thamlett Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Wow, nice going guys. BTW, Stan (and Rada) = what do you think of adding the picture at the beginning of this thread to the home screen in the game? I could also dig up some other public domain photos and edit them. The game really seems to miss them (especially since RoTE has some very nice ones on the home screen). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game really seems to miss them (especially since RoTE has some very nice ones on the home screen).Yeah we need one thst is in public domain or make own. First I want to imitate textures from AoK or AoE 3 wood and Iron texturesBut the background is the most hard to think whst can be good or appropriated may be a landscape and a Village but we don't have a drawer you know an Illustrator.

Le Druide Gaulois Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Guys, I think all roofs should have only straw covering, and be darker. If I'm not mistaken in the viking age Scandinavians didn't use tiles, or its usage was limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Druide Gaulois Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 They had indeed tiles, but I think it was only further in their development. I got a sugestion, how about we change the roof texture every stage, so they player gets a sensation he's evolving on time? We could start off with turf roof on stage one (all Icelandic constructions by that time had turf covering), move to straw in stage two and finally adopting tiles in the final stage? Something like in AoE.Just something quick thatt came to my mind: how about making two Viking factions, later on, like 0AD has two celtic factions? They'd be Icelandic Vikings and Scandinavian Vilings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
