It's the last file missing. Expand i fixed that last night but internet connection was uploading at BYTES yes bytes . so the higher the resolution the more its blurred by antialias? Can't tell the difference to be honest, looking everything in a little laptop generic screen when i used to have a TV as monitor everything looks tiny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 I guess it's texture filtering not antialiasing but apparently so.

Carltonus Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) The remade aspides look great. The arrow curtains (that you so called shield capes) remake would be an interesting addition since it would require to be animated. Suggest that the Spartan hero shield (Leonidas) to be re-textured to match the statues in Thermopylae and near the city stadium in Sparta: Edited April 22, 2020 by Carltonus Reiterating second sentence since it's been discussed in above posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorfinn the Shallow Minded Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 One change that is definitely warranted, however, I would say is to add proper braiding to Spartans both for unit textures and hero portraits. It is clearly attested in sources such as Plutarch and Herodotus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the design of the gorgon shield* (taken from a vase, right?), but Leonidas' current spiral shield (Apollo sun ray?) is nearly perfect. *I might get it tattooed on my shoulder.
