I have converted all the city graphics from RoN and its expansion to Civ3 pcx format, and am now willing to make some new cut'n'paste cities out of them.

I've been asked to make one version with towers (as a defensive strucutre replacing the walls that don't exist in RoN) by Thorvald of Lym. Sadly there is only 1 tower graphic for each Civ/era. So, would this work ?

Certainly looks better than what I was thinking. :p
 
I was just gonna stick a tower in the space between the buildings.

imho it looks good. The only alteration I could suggest would be to off-set the buildings in front/behind the north & south tower. Just a slight movement will create more definition between them.

I can move the towers, if that's what you mean. But where ? I don't want it to be overlapped by irrigations...

Thanks :) What were you thinking then ? ;)

Exact location isn't what I was trying to show. Just that a little offset lets the roofs show. Makes buildings more distinct from each other. With buildings all the same color / material need something to show they are separate structures.

What do you guys think of this ? I think 4 times the same tower for each era looks a bit boring, but at the same time that's how it looks in RoN, so why not. Plus it's better than nothing...
I still have to correct the shadows on the southern tower of each city.

I've tried different setups, I still may correct them.

They look like very, very good work. As I intend to do one announcement a month I hope I get to post these in the Christmas announcement.
 
I would be very happy that you do so, and hope you will have many more to post :)

EDIT: for some reason, most of the previews in post #15 had disappeared. I've just put them back so you can share your thoughts on them.
 
All that pink makes it girly, but mI ahev a thought on the towers. They don't look that real, maybe you could scale the ones at the back a bit? They're too even.
 
Pink ? That is Magenta ;) And it is very common in Civ3 pcxs y'know :D

What tower should I resize ? Only the northern one (of each set) ? I'm not sure it would look good. These graphics are isometric you know, so the perspective is kinda wrong and that's how it is. In fact I like isometric graphics, I think they work fine with Civ.
 
It's too regular… maybe move them around a bit so it looks more haphazard. Most cities just grew into wherever they could, Baghdad was a rare example of a planned city in the Western World.
