Minoan City Style

I have to agree. These are looking good and quite distinctive. I especially like the sections with the colonnades (is that what you call them?) and the colours used there.

Are the thumbnails you've shared different city sizes?
 
i would set the sunlight in the south, not the east, so the fassades are in light, and second i would change the colour of the roof texture as to contrast with the walls. game design needs these graphic inaccuracies for the quality of the product...i hope u understand what i ment.
 
I am eagerly awaiting the walled graphic :)

By the way, although having different scale in each size is a nice touch, you could experiment with keeping the same scale and see where that takes you.

As for clean rendering, if you used Bryce you could have dled my settings which are in the database, these include lighting and shading, along with the positioning of the three monuments.

Good work, i think you will be producing better graphics than me soon :)
 
stico - Those google image references are great. And you've gone some way to showing that in your pcxs. Maybe you can go further? I'd be interested to see how your pcxs look in game. If you can post pics of that it would be good to see.

Also, maybe I misunderstood you, or maybe I'm just blind and stupid, but I can't see a difference between the palace and the other normal city.

Don't do that. In CivIII, the sun always comes from the east-south-east (ESE), assuming that north is the top of the map screen. Always. I sometimes remind myself of that by saying it's always Ten o'clock in the morning in Civ-land (by comparison, it was always Five o'clock in the afternoon in SimCity 3000).

I've just discovered your work, Stico, and I'm very impressed. Keep it up!
 
This is wonderful! I especially like the Horns of Consecration! Additionally, i like that you used the miniature frescoes (from akrotiri) as inspiration rather than the reconstruction of Knossos by Arthur Evans. And i second not having city walls for the reason you stated above.

These city sets are wonderful!

can I request Megiddo?! :D

(its where i dig haha)
