Leader Preview : Trung Trac of Vietnam

Antiochus VII · Jul 18, 2007

I've seen several completely different pictures of the Trungs, the medieval version is loosely based on one of the older ones. Haven't finished the textures yet on the middle two eras.

Edit: updated Medieval era.

I think it looks very nice

And I like the crown thingy

What Stormrage said. :thumbsup:

That's great.

Finally, we have another choice for a Vietnamese leaderhead. :goodjob:

She looks too angry in all eras in the preview pic, however. :crazyeye:

Stormrage · Jul 18, 2007

Hey man, she had PMS when Antiochus got her to pose for him

TopGun · Jul 18, 2007

No.. she looks angry because somebody made a comment about her looking like she was PMS-ing....

(Stormy?!)

But seriously, this looks very good thus far. keep it up!

Given the amount of time I've actually had to work on Civ I might just animate this one era for the time being, any opinions on it - the armor in particular?

Ogedei_the_Mad · Jan 17, 2008

The armor looks a bit too showy for her. She'd look much better in an Ao Dai dress (or a qipao, which the ao dai is similar to).

Hmmm... already had the Ao Dai for the third era (and something more Tang-dynasty-ish for the second), would it be appropriate for a first era? I was under the impression it didn't really appear til after 1700 at least. I could always make the armor more drab?

Ogedei_the_Mad · Jan 17, 2008

The Ao Dai we see today is derived from the 1700s. If I recall correctly, it evolved from earlier styles of Vietnamese dress such as this (which goes as far back as the 12th century): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Áo_tứ_thân

or http://www.trucxanh.org/myvsa/images/hannoi.jpg

EDIT: 1700s, not 17th century. :blush:

According to tradition, the Trung sisters wore two-flapped ao dai on the battlefield, mounted on the backs of elephants, when they fought the Chinese invaders. Also according to tradition, Vietnamese women started wearing the ao tu than instead of the two-flapped ao dai to show their respect and admiration for the Trung sisters.

Two-flapped Ao Dai, that can probably be done.
