A question about Austria

Kyriakos · Sep 03, 2011, 01:54 PM

Currently creating an Austrian set, but i want it to be usable for the entire empire, and therefore the centerpiece of size 1 is mostly Mayar, and the centerpiece of 2 is the famous Old-New synagogue in Prague.

The question is if this looks austrian enough to you. Both the houses and centerpieces. Also the colors

RedRalph · Sep 03, 2011, 02:17 PM

Looks good to me.

Kyriakos · Sep 03, 2011, 02:41 PM

Thank you RR

It will be high medieval or a bit later than that. It is to be my 20th set in the current style...

Kyriakos · Sep 03, 2011, 03:41 PM

I am thinking that maybe this can even be a gunpowder era set.

Maybe i could change the gazebo as well. Is there any characteristic design in the era for european civs?

Kyriakos · Sep 03, 2011, 04:37 PM

Moved it to the gunpowder era

Looks positively Central European, so yes. I assume the roofs will be red/orange...?

(BTW, nothing beats Civ3's nice 2D graphics)

Kyriakos · Sep 06, 2011, 05:28 AM

Thank you

These are in a way 2d, in the game at least, but they were made with a 3d modeler

The roofs are a greyish-blue, as shown in post #5

I know, it's just that in the game itself it looks so much better than all that 3D crap we're getting these days (don't take me wrong, I have nothing against nice realistic 3D games, I just think turn-based strategy games can do without 3D).

That I have an issue with, central European town usually have reddish roofs. The grey-blue-greenish colour is only seen on buildings like churches which have copper roofs (copper gets this colour as it oxidizes). The roofing tiles used for common houses are usually reddish. You can see that on the images below.

Vienna:

Český Krumlov (not really an Austrian town, but close enough culturally speaking):

Michkov · Sep 07, 2011, 07:17 AM

Winner is right, most houses in Austria have red brick tiles on the roof. Churches and towers tend to be cooperplated so they get green over time.

Kosez · Sep 07, 2011, 02:31 PM

Yes, red is a must in Central and Southeast Europe.

Eh, really? I didn't know Naples and Sicily were in North Africa.

(Nah, but it's some kind of running joke on this forum that Poland is in North Africa. I wasn't around when it started, but I'm assuming it had to do something with a debate where somebody argued that continental distinctions were arbitrary, and somebody responded with something like "oh okay so Poland is in North Africa then?")

I see you've never spoken to an Italian, then.

LightSpectra · Sep 12, 2011, 11:38 AM

I once heard a Turkish nationalist tell me how we should describe everything east of Vienna and south of Rome as being "Ottoman" rather than European, because the Ottomans had a much more significant cultural affect on those geographical blocs than the rest of Europe.

T'was amusing, to say the least.

Dachs · Sep 12, 2011, 12:04 PM

The schizophrenic relationship between Turkish nationalism and the Ottomans is generally pretty funny.

LightSpectra · Sep 12, 2011, 12:50 PM

It wasn't the Turks who committed genocide against the Armenians and Assyrians and Greeks, it was the Ottoman government.

But oh yeah the Republic of Turkey should totally have all of Cyprus because that was historically controlled by the Ottoman government lolo

That's right, Northers or "Polentoni"(from Polenta, a dish made of cornmeal) hate the Southers that are "Terroni" (from a tipically southern dish, i don't know what is it) and consider everything souther Rome or sometimes Florence North Africa
