Faction: Byzantines

[Alexandermb]

@wowgetoffyourcellphone it could be possible to add as the greek fire an attack very fast but weak (Bonus vs Ships) and adjusting the projectile speed to be very fast being the projectile a flame texture just like the fire rocks so it simulates being a constant burning?

Comparisson with the caro church texture.

Necesitas bajarle el  contraste, darle cierta variedad sin perder la uniformidad y la unidad gráfica. 

[Alexandermb]

ok i fixed some irregularities on the base bricks, now with tones @Lion.Kanzen by contrast what do you exactly mean ? maybe @wackyserious could make something like the caro walls here.

Las uniones se notan muy oscuras, si vez las otras los ladrillos parecen una sola unidad a cierta distancia.

[Alexandermb]

Tratare con otro tono entre las uniones aunque en las murallas de constantinopla tenian un tono anaranjado pero asumo que te refieres a la hilera superior, tratare de hacer algunos tejados en lo que @wackyserious averigua algo hornear la textura me sobrecalienta un poco la pc y por eso reservo el bake final para despues que esta listo todo.

I'll try with another brighter tone (as suggested by lion) between the bricks, i will try making the roof texture and other small props required until all opinions are on the table to make the final changes. Baking the textures or testing whitout bake overheat's my pc so i can't be baking constantly for make small changes.

If you wanted to mess with this @wackyserious@Alexandermb, threw it together real quick. forgot textures baked at 1024 so the norms a bit big

[wackyserious]

@LordGood Thanks a lot! Scaled it to 96x96 then patched it together to form a 512x512.

It was used on the ones wearing long byrnie(s). Normals not yet applied. Only spec.

[Alexandermb]

Here an example of what can be done with the texture (I don't know why becomes darker when looking from far, its the same texture the brighter and the wrong darkest just different positions):

Hagia Sophia in 3d video, I guess it'll be the byzantine wonder :

 

[wowgetoffyourcellphone]

Check the Byzantine church in AOK. It's pretty good and can be a good inspiration. 

[Lion.Kanzen]

The red parts looks damaged , the green looks good shape/state 

[Alexandermb]

https://www.sas.upenn.edu/ancient/masons/mamaloukos.pdf This has a good amount info about byzantine architecture.

Should i use roman doors and floors with slightly colour changes like this?

[Lion.Kanzen]

[Lion.Kanzen]
