LordGood Posted December 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 These details into the edges borders looks like Ming Dynasty, but what are?Just trying to be fancy with the akroterion, though I should probably just get rid of them and sag the roof a bit.

Lion.Kanzen Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 And a Gryphon as Akroterion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGood Posted December 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 nah, not for a watchtower, might be a good idea to put it in the tex pack though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Can you doing a alternate with cilindric top? Only the top, where the archers fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGood Posted December 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Ah we still need to differentiate the Greek city states. Round towers might be cool for the Athenians. It could be a nice echo the round shape of the Prytaneion. Unless its historically inaccurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) May be octagons or other figures like lighthouse or Herods towers in Jerusalem , can be Turrents too.These are in Turkey several miles from city states and Athens, Pisidian Antioch, were twin tower in a gate city.

Lion.Kanzen Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Only are a alternative suggestions, in some AOE the Greek and Hellenistic was cilindric we can have both styles in Editor.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfinn the Shallow Minded Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Actually there was such a thing as an octagonal tower in Athens that did not serve so much as a defence than as a clock, possessing multiple sundials on each side and and a water clock. If I am not mistaken, this was called The Tower of the Winds, but that was from the Roman period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only I'm asking some doubts that I have, don't hate me for that.Only is pure curiosity about Judean Hellenistic towers and Age of Empires I towers. I want not believe AOE have totally inaccuracy from somewhere the artist take the inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGood Posted December 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 It's alright lion, I'm happy to get feedback. Round tower sounded like fun too lol.made a few more edits to the pack, despite the debate earlier this is turning out more hellenistic than I intendedoh wellI might just hold off making more buildings until Enrique or Pureon give me the go-ahead. These are just to see how the textures look in a civic/military/domestic setting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordGood Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 lol I lied, made another houseneed to put some playercolor strips on it thoughchanged the texture file too, its all filled in, but use it at your own risk, it's still subject to change, and scrapping altogether.And please give me some feedback on these textures, guys. If anything looks weird or out of place, or you think the color should be different, let me know. Like I said I don't do this very often, and I painted most of these by hand. I've been staring at them long enough now, that what may seem like an obvious flaw is invisible to me.If any other team artists or councilors want to take a shot with them, be my guest, but let me know if there are any problems or anything you think is missing. Like Enrique said, these are going to take a bit of troubleshooting before it becomes a mature pack.Edit: Playercolor strip is on now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 The brick texture looks a bit chunky to me like it was made out of very low polys maybe make it more smooth. It looks nice from your screenshots too.The windows still have neat trails, like you drew them with a pencil, maybe blur them a little bit.Also, I'd suggest you use the new barrels textures I made some time ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordGood Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 mmm, alrightBrick relief isnt quite as strongPut the stone block splits ALL the way around the window this time... lol durrLess willing to make the barrels that dark, Aleppo pine is a light-red lumber to begin with, and from what I've seen wood tends to bleach in dry sunny terrain, and darken in wet cool climates. I could be wrong thougheven still, those would contrast way too much and compete with darks of the windows- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGood Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 When you can commit it? This way I can aprecciate by my own computerI'd like to wait for the more veteran texture artists to give me the go-ahead first, otherwise I'd just be making extra workmaybeI dunno, screw it. I'll put them in after I get two more house variations in and AO'd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
