The current loading screen tips are outdated, both the information, as well as with the visuals.

This thread is to make new nice looking pictures and possibly also crowd check the descriptions themselves.

If someone could repaint the paper background I'd be happy. It doesn't look good currently.

Also the vignette border on a picture is a bit strong I think.

Where are the loading screen background files? I think I can edit the images

Agreed.

what do you think about just the more plain background and the less scratched parchment?

Generally not bad,

could be a bit more symmetrical i.e. the bottom left edge could be a bit less crinkled and rounded

and your version looks very handpainted with the smooth color transitions, which is a design choice, but personally I would like a bit of a light paper texture on top.

Give your comment, give better pictures.

Will probably add the text here as well.

Check out the ones in the Delenda Est mod. They might be useful or applicable. Many of them don't use the new terrains and trees though, so I might have to update DE's as well.

  • Looks great, add it to the game:
    • Snapping
    • Territory decay
    • Triremes
    • Roman army camp
    • Carthage Sacred Band
    • Embassies & Mercenary Camps
    • Gathering
    • Kush Pyramids
    • Outposts
    • Palisades
    • Quinquereme
  • Looks good, but:
    • Catapult: Have all catapults this flaming projectile?
    • Experience trickle: The picture on the right, but I would include the "Experience Status bar" ( see Options--> Game Session)
    • Fishing: Can the fish swarm be more noticeable, its barely visible from this angle.
    • Forge: I would just show one forge, the most beautiful one.
    • Map Flare: The one on the bottom, but I would remove that little black bar below the minimap.
    • Autoqueue: Not a fan of these arrows, do not fit well in there.
    • Resource counter: Not a fan of these arrows, do not fit well in there.
  • Missing, will those be updated as well? (Link to the current pictures)
  • Deleting (Either all heroes have a loading tip or none.)
    • Viriato
    • Themistocles
    • Pericles
    • Iphicrates
    • Syntagma (The image still exists but there is no text, so it won't be displayed you could delete it when making the patch.)
  • Ideas from Delenda Est mod (including Link to the image)
Spoiler
  • Optional: Ideas from the wiki/FAQ page
    • see under "Contributing" or "Gameplay" e.g.
      • How are the total, economy, military and exploration score calculated?
      • Does the game have cheat codes?
      • How can I change the maximum/minimum camera zoom?
      • How does capturing work?
      • Can you make groups of units?

  • - Don't know to be honest, but would that matter that much?

  • -sure
  • Fishing: Can the fish swarm be more noticeable, its barely visible from this angle.
  • - maybe the one from DE is better?
  • Forge: I would just show one forge, the most beautiful one.
  • -which one?
  • Map Flare: The one on the bottom, but I would remove that little black bar below the minimap.
  • -sure
  • Autoqueue: Not a fan of these arrows, do not fit well in there.
  • Resource counter: Not a fan of these arrows, do not fit well in there.
  • -so just without arrows?

long term I want to update them, but no time till feature freeze unfortunately, so I will either include the ones from DE if they look better or maybe update just some of those.

Also long term we should think more about what information should really be displayed there and make an extensive list, but that won't happen for a25.

 

About the Experience trickle: Would be good to just include it in the Baracks, stable and elephant stable pictures.

  • Fishing: Can the fish swarm be more noticeable, its barely visible from this angle.
  • - maybe the one from DE is better? It would work, but the pic from DE is a bit old, the fishing boat from the Mauryans include a fisherman now.
  • Forge: I would just show one forge, the most beautiful one.
  • -which one? Mauryans
  • Autoqueue: Not a fan of these arrows, do not fit well in there.
  • Resource counter: Not a fan of these arrows, do not fit well in there.
  • -so just without arrows? Yes, if you need an arrow then just include the default cursor.

Right, depicting all 3 structures. D3994 is already accepted should be in for A25.

Thinking about either adding tips for all the biomes or removing the savanna one. Opinions?

Also thinking about including only one tip for the formations.

Yes, one generic tip for formations, biomes and heros instead of individual tips.

There is a thread about a redesign somewhere.

The patch D1730 (4/Jan/19 - Scroll through loading screen tips) is old but still works.

I would suggest that the formation image depicts how it's used, e.g. legions with testudo opposing skirmishers with column open

It is already committed (and I am biased, I like this one), but feel free to make a new/ alternative one and post it here or make a patch :)
