Yes, he have to committ the files, since the blackout in my country i coulnd't commit and have always Http 408 request timeout To clarify how the horse textures are now: Horses were used to have different texture per rank, now the actor just change the rider and other visual assets (blankets or armors) don't see any reason why a horse change skins like a snake each time he promotes. I wish it could be a way to make horse keep the initial or basic version texture through rank in case in the future we find a way to make horses remain and infantry dismount. That way Horse is just a "Mount" in game therms instead of a full unit version. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a similar approach should be applied to the other mounts as well, to benefit from simplicity and a greater variety of skin textures? donkey (brit, gaul, iber trader) dromedary camel (cart, pers, ptol trader; ptol archer; kush javelnist) Indian elephant (maur support, archer, champion; pers mercenary; sele champion) North African elephant (cart, kush, ptol champions) Just a suggestion, I don't know, I'm not familiar with the art assets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be, i can say that my variants and blender knowledge today is not the same from two years ago from what i recall started to update the cavalry really outdated since the beginning of the game. That includes knowledge of Vertex distribution for a proper animation, Armature bones placemente for a better transition, Constraits etc. But most important Sculpting high poly and procedural skin shader for bake a higher amount of textures. If the camel is take back to this days it looks gorgeous because its a texture from wikimedia commons with CC.30 baked in a low poly. Well now im working with High poly sculpting to low poly wich makes everything easier when its already sculpted something i couldn't and never have done back in those two years so that shows a better road to the process of updating OR adding new fauna to the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurken Khan Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 I'm sorry, but to me it looks like gravity is pulling differently on the mane and the tail; already when the horse is standing, but even more when the horse is rising: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much high end gaming for a RTS . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hidan Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 i like horse update very much. But some cavalry units have not reins like Ptolemaic and Carthagains. It would be nice champion cavalry horses have head crest like seleucid heavy armored horses, perhaps without feathers. Crest only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
