I'm not familiar with baking ao. How do I go about doing that? 

(Something like this?https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/13956/how-do-you-bake-ambient-occlusion-for-a-model)

Yes mostly, but refer to that instead

Thanks for the recommendation to use an ao. It now looks 100% better.

Over-saturated texture. (Look cartony)

Thanks for the feed back, I'll defiantly toon it down with the textures being over saturated.

If I may suggest another improvements, you should try to maximize the contrast between textures to make them less bland to look at. Like mixing the bricks and the white wall textures.

I appreciate any suggestions you have stanislas69! That is what i started to do with the market, which has me thinking about caring that design into most of the Teutonic buildings, but while trying to stay true to most German, Polish architecture.

Show me your reference.

You need stop doing plain and appreciate imperfection, copy the imperfection.

Is similar to Stan said but in other color.

@Lion.Kanzen

Heres the reference I used so far. I'm going back and doing more work on the textures.

[Lion.Kanzen]

Check the bad real

state of texture, look like the time makes the work, the building suffer the past of weather or environment.

so the base is easy to be more dirty and damage than the rest.

More close texture specially the wall. The roof have imperfections too. Imperfection give realism.

I'll put some imperfection details into the textures, and try to add an weathered look to the textures.

[Bigtiger]

Update: textures retouched.

Currently working on special structures that will generate resources.

[Lion.Kanzen]

Better indeed.

Don't forget add plants and mold.

Do you use a Github repository? I would want to test your mod and keep track of your latest developments. Keep it up, you are doing awesome work.

At the moment I don't have a Github repository, but will likely start one in the future when finishing the Teutonic Order Faction and the game play design.

Lovely progress. 

Aesthetics Hint: Try to avoid flat plain, bare walls like the side of the barracks. Break it up a bit with some bevels, windows, buttresses or other architectural elements or props.

Hi, this looks great and I am really exited to play this

I do not know how historically accurate do you plan to be with this mod, but you might want to check this video and his channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhIP6dfr_FEvi.

And if you can, could you add hand protection to units ? some of them have none

 

[coworotel]

@Bigtiger How is it going? We are all eager to see how this mod is progressing

[Bigtiger]

@coworotel

Hey, been busy with other things, but work on the mod is still being made! I'll share some screenshot of some of the work that has been made soon. 

@Angen

Been doing some research as I want the mod to be historically accurate as much as I can.
