medieval diplo screen

[Kyriakos]

I am working on a medieval (mostly byzantine atm) dimpomatic screen, inspired by Traianus's aztec one, which is very well-made

 

[The Last Conformist]

Nice, tho I still don't like gfx on the text areas.

 

[Traianus]

I would fade that image right down to almost nothing and then enlarge it to fill the entire panel. Looks like it would fit nicely.

 

[Kyriakos]

This is how it is, it doesnt cover almost any text at all. I will try enlarging it though as you suggested.
Btw it was made by copy/paste and making some textural changes. The original was from a byz icon

I have something that might be useful to you. It's a template that I use starting each interface. The white dots are roughly where the corners of each info panel are. They are a little out in places so don't take it's accuracy down to the pixel level. Provides a good starting guide for the counter screen though.

 

[Kyriakos]

wow, this is rather difficult to follow
besides i am making something very different from your diplo interface, although i consider it great
my has more of a pseudo-didactic feel; for example in post #1 now there is the emperor, a saint to his left, and a typical balcan lowlife on his right
Although the saint is even worse i guess.

i also added a throne (middle upper window)

also i may go for a 'seven kingdoms' feel, where the enemy is depicted as pathetic lowlife scum, and you as noble and fair

I like that idea. How will you acheive that? Will you edit the script.txt? That could be a lot of fun!
