Hi!

I've tried to create mesopotamian cities myself, but I'm just too bad at creating graphics... I'm just missing something. So maybe someone of those gifted artists out there *jealous* can help!

For the Ancient Mediterranean MOD I'd like to incorporate Mesopotamian city graphics. They would be kind of a mix between American and Middle Eastern graphics. I'm thinking of several clay huts (Middle Eastern style) at first, slowly becoming more. No mosques with minarettes (like in the standard ME set), though. The larger city sizes would have a ziggurat (a temple-like thing, I'll attach a cool one) in the middle.

I only need one (maybe two) era sets, because it's Ancient only.

It would be GREAT if someone could do it - my attempts are just horrible... <g>

Pretty good so far! I suggest making the roof of that roman-looking house in the NW flat. Also, the house in the SW seems a little too dark to me. And the next city size should get a ziggurat.

I'm not sure if the Babylonians had domed buildings. I don't think so. That's more of a mosque thing. I'd make all buildings flat-roofed.

Nice!!! It's a little pixely, but we can work on it. I especially love the one with the ziggurat! :-D

Looks great. Can you incorporate a few of the buildings around the ziggurat into the other cities? they're really cool!

I find a few things too pixely, but I can get rid of that. Otherwise great!

thamis, I posted in "wrong" forum (I commented Yodas completed gfx) before. But I had better posted here, it seems.

Well, I am making also a mesopotamian city style (only ancient) for my own Rise of Rome projekt. But this city style it has low priority to me, simply because many other things are much more importend to do for this scenario. However, once if it is finished, you may use it too. Here is again a preview.
