Evil Castle (Fortress and Barricade)

nick0515 · Jul 4, 2009

This is my first graphic upload. It's two evil castles to replace the fotress and barricade. The original castle graphic is from Age of Empires II. It could be used as a normal medieval castle too but I made it for my fantasy scenario.

As it's my first graphic any advice/criticism would be appreciated.

That looks really good! A great conversion.

OT: Like your avvie.

Thanks for the nice comments guys.

Oz I intend to make more graphics.

Huayna Capac357 Yeah I love that poster. Really taking the piss out of anti-piracy stuff, and also of the "Reds under the Bed" mentality that still exists in many people's minds today. Despite the end of the cold war.

Thanks for the nice comment da3dalus. It feels good to contribute something to the Civ community after so many years of downloading great stuff myself.

I realise looking at it that it actually doesn't look that evil really. I'll have to increase it's evilness for my scenario I think. Perhaps lava in the moat instead of water.

Pointy spires usually do the trick when trying to look evil. Nice first work, Nick.

I'm not using it for a fantasy scenario, so I've edited out the red in the windows for my own purposes. I could totally use a fortress/barricade that has spires instead of a fortress style battlements because my mod takes place on the cusp of the renaissance...spires would look more appropriate until you advance to the gunpowder age with bastions à la trace italienne. If you do manage one with spires I'd love to see it!

Yeah the red windows were really the only thing making it look 'evil' instead of just medieval.

I might have a go with the spires maybe, but I fear my grapics making skills aren't up to that. It was largely a cut n paste conversion from AOEII. I'm don't have many skills in making something from scratch. Maybe I could find some premade spires to add somewhere.

Version 2 (more evil) uploaded, see first post for updated previews and the download link. Only differences are blackened cracked ground around the castle and a lava moat instead of water for the Barricade.

Blood moat - I like it. Even more evil than lava.
