Have you ever seen such thin and such small palaces? Maybe it should be renamed? I can't even imagine those ancient Hindus who decided to use such small buildings for their palaces.

Yekaterina Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 easy solution: copy the .dae file for the Mauryan wonder (the great Stupa) and resize it to whatever size you would like in blender. Then, change actor xml file so that it points to your new .dae. This will replace the model without causing OOS. <mesh>directory/of/my/new/palace.xml</mesh> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yekaterina Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 'harmya' sounds like 'harm-you'. We can rename it to something generic like 'Mauryan Palace' or 'Indian crown court'. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want historical accuracy, then the game would literally take years to finish (consider how much time you need to build an empire) and also the Romans and the Macedonians will destroy everyone, which is gg before the game starts. Furthermore, Brits and Gauls never had a fight with the Mauryans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean keep "visual" historical accuracy not gameplay This game does not even have hunger rate for units like Cossacks series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my style is this: StarGUI, Kampot playing as the Athenians in Arctic. I replaced the white snow with a more gentle version of pink ground, so that it's better for your eyes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing about your visual comparisons: the units are deliberately over-sized, I think three or four times of what they "realistically" should be. 32 minutes ago, Sevda said: I replaced the white snow with a more gentle version of pink ground, so that it's better for your eyes. I guess opinions differ on how "gentle" that pink looks. ;p 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For in-game building models their (units') sizes looks mostly normal. But some buildings are to small for their "names". That is all. Also the carthage one-level houses are small too and looks just like doll-houses. I think in reality it would be possible to enter such a house only on all fours. As 0 A.D. is a video-game, I think, the visual component is no less important than the gameplay.

I used pink as a last resort. Green is great but it would be hard to distinguish arctic from the others. Maybe mycelium would be good. But back to the topic: @Stitch feel free to resize the .dae files as your please, then show us the end result. I also would like to modernise the look of many buildings as well as change their sizes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akira Kurosawa Posted August 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Sevda said: resize I didn't quite mean it. The problem is not the 'scale', but that this "palace" does not look like a "palace". It looks like a garrison or a piece of a citadel wall, but not like a luxurious palace with many rooms. What I see here is more like as if only the vestibule was left of the palace. And the rest of the building was stolen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace "A palace - is a grand residence, especially a royal residence." Can you say on this: "It's a grand residence."?

IMHO you should replace colors by eco military, same for units full 2x2 transparent texture so that they are player color. Ironically I don't think the palace was meant to be used I think it was dug from the existing assets. Pureon made it I think. My only grief with it is that it doesn't have the same roof as the others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pureon just modified the original CC without knowing that there is a historical image that looks like his model? No, the references you posted were definitely used when creating the building set. 100% 1 hour ago, Stan` said: Random screenshot Cute. Strategic Map?
