Lion.Kanzen Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Very strong contrast... break easily my attention on them... Look like that dress named as Poncho, in this case the patterns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackyserious Posted March 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Isn't high contrasted colors a mark of the game? Plus the design documents for the Gauls specifies that bright colors should be used for the Celts. @stanislas69 @wowgetoffyourcellphone These earth-toned textures should return the Elite spearmen and the other Celtic elite units to their original design. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeonios Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Eh, high contrast/saturation colors are objectively bad. The bright yellow on top of gaul buildings is bad, the ridiculously bright green grasses on a lot of map textures are bad, etc. When people mention that mainland is ugly now, that's what they mean by it. Also more distinction between gaul and brits would be cool. I think somewhat brighter colors work well for brits but not so much for gauls. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

av93 Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 That is the topic of theory colour that I mentioned some time ago. I wasn't referring to you, @Lion.Kanzen as you said in another post. A little bit off-topic (because it refers mostly to land textures), and also the mood of the discussion was too much tense, but is interesting enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGood Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 High contrast and saturation can be easily misused, that doesn't make it objectively bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But firstly I noticed you are using osprey illustrations and random archeological finds taken on different websites. The problem with osprey illustrations is that they are often very old and based on very insufficient sources. For exemple, there is often anachronistic choice in Angus McBride's illustrations, mixing items from the early LaTène and the Late LaTène periods. There is even an illustration of a helvetian warrior from him where he used Hallstatt and Bronze Age material to describe a scene occurring in 100BC: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/73/11/4d/73114d9147321363aaab4cbe6884c5c1.jpg Another example, one previously posted: Spoiler You can see a strange shield used by standard-bearer. It is actually based on a stele from Bormio made by peoples of the Golasecca culture around 500BC. The scene is depicting the Hannibal's army crossing the alps in 218BC and the reaction of a Gallic tribe (the Allobroges or the Taurini probably). Not very accurate. The other thing is that Osprey illustrations often depicts round shields on Gallic warriors. But there is absolutely no evidence of round shields in La Tène culture. Maybe it has existed among the insulars celts (Britain and Ireland) but not in the continent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the textures, I have given some links where there are two books with a lot of motifs drawn by historian. These ones: It can help you for decorating stuff (shields, helmets, armors). @Alexandermb you was dealing with that task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
