===[COMMITTED]=== Gaul Theatron

Couldn't it cost just more wood @Nescio, @borg- ? It's made mostly out of wood. Could add a stone wall instead of the wicker but I guess we would lose the feeling of the building itself.

Certainly can be done, remove the cost of stone and replace with wood.

What about

      <wood>875</wood>
      <stone>0</stone>
      <metal>125</metal>

 

[Nescio]

You can give the gaul theatre any cost you like, it doesn't have to be the same as the parent template; e.g. 600 wood + 150 metal and 0 stone is fine by me, I don't really care. My earlier remark was simply a reminder not to forget changing the costs in the gaul template.

[Stan`]

Ah okay well let's 

1. Get it finished
2. Get it accepted as a replacement for the Gaul tavern
3. Get it committed with the proper template changes.

My sketches (don't laugh). A suggestion to display the standards in front of the rows as symbols of each "pagus" (smaller tribe or even clans) where the members are sitting. Two carnyx could be leaning against the balustrade (wooden frame) on the front scene.

Specialized decal would really bring an air of functionality to this building. What do you think of a shingle roof? We’re still lacking in those

Sure what do you have in mind for the decal ? Anything we already have or something new ? (I just use it so we don't see the foundations below.

About the shingle roof I don't know I guess we could put it over the wooden entrance. But I think it will look bad replacing the hay roof.

@LordGood Shingle roof. Do you have a decal I could use there is nothing in the game.

I'll see what I can put together

[LordGood]

you may need to rotate, but try this

You can rotate and even flip (!) the texture in the decal code itself.

This should have civic techs and train the Carnyx Player special unit.

@LordGood Works like a charm

I would like to add theater to the Gauls and Carnyx Player unit, who can make this new unit?

I talked with an archeologist that worked on Corent and he told me that the theatron is looking nice like this. They have found shield bosses in the location of the hemicycle and the idea of shields in front of the rows are plausible. They also found a Coolus helmet imported from Italy there, dated from the very beginning of the 1st century BC. The idea of a political and military assembly are indeed the prefered hypothesis.

Thanks Did they have any comments on the model itself on ways it could be improved ? I'm inclined to commit it. My only issue is that once again it might only be used in mods...

Why wouldn't it be committed to vanilla?

Even if it's not added to the Gallic struct tree, why wouldn't it be used in any vanilla skirmishes, scenarios, or random maps? I could foresee a Siege of Alesia random map. @elexis

[Stan`]

If nobody has objections of @Genava55 @LordGood @Alexandermb I'll commit it as an Atlas template.

[LordGood]

Did you bake AO? Seems oddly bright

otherwise, go on ahead! I can work on that decal from the repo later

[Stan`]

@LordGood Indeed I forgot to fix the AO ^^ better now .

Why not, but I have the same question than Sundiata, why not in the vanilla?

He said amphora and imported goods since it is a symbol of prestige and something found on the location. Nothing more. It was a short talk about it, we were busy with the x-ray tomography of a rusty find in Switzerland (I have some experience in x-ray tomography from a previous project).

To be honest it's because I don't play the game enough to have a say in balancing.
