10 added ressources (MA/Fantasy)

[Arne]

Some time ago I made/converted some ressoruces especially for use in middle age or fantasy scenarios. I did only the ressources themself, there are only a few pedia icons (look or DL).

There are in the file [ressource -> possible use]:

• carpet -> luxury esp. for arabic/islamic Civs
• lamp -> Aladins Lamp, (I did it for a request here)
• emerald -> replacement/addition for gems
• ruby -> same as emerald
• excalibur (DL pedia icons) -> strategig ress., makes arthurian knights possible
• (holy) grail -> ress. needed for a wonder (wonder may build reliques)
• horn (DL pedia icons) -> strateg. ress. needed for Berserker units
• honey -> delicious luxury
• dragon (DL pedia icons) -> flavour ressource
• sea monster (DL pedia icons) -> nessie (adds gold [= trade] becouse of mass tourism )

[edit: Updated with zip file after 23 DLs. For a preview of the updated file scroll down to 16th post.]
[edit2: removed zip and added PCX here, after 3 further DLs]
[edit3: added pedia icons for excalibur, horn, sea monster and dragon]
[edit4: full ressources with all pedia icons included]

Here is an "ingame"-Preview.

Some of these are very nice.

 

[Pounder]

Great Stuff.

I will definitely find a use for a couple of these.

 

[Corey]

excalibur is my fav.!!

 

[Arne]

I personally like the sea monster most. But I have no use for it in my projects. Well, I have an idea... hm, we will see.

If somebody needs further gems colour versions, I allready had made some. But I think, there is not much need for other versions, so I didn't put it in this file.

The seamonster can be used as decoration on middle ages, to take a look like a map... So, I think that we need also Neptune.

I looked at this earlier and moved on without thinking any further, but I decided to take a second look and I discover the screenshot. Now I think I could use a couple of those for my mod. I would much rather use a dragon looking resource than an egg for dragons. As well the sword in the stone could be my Artifacts resource.

Indeed they are great, esp. the monster!

the file is corrupted.. I tried several times from different browsers...
I guess it's not so important, because you can get the file from GIF preview, but I though I'll let you know...

 

[Gojira54]

Very nice indeed! Some good originals! These would be good for some upcoming major release of some major fantasy mod. <nudges EmbryoDead>

 

[spincrus]

I might be using the carpet for my own personal scenarios. It's superb work.

Well I see, but I have no idea, what happens. Like you can see in preview, it worked. I'll have a look at it and try to fix that as soon as possible. Thank you for the hint.

They are very nice

One thing though:
- the aladdin lamp and the holy grail would look better if they had shadows

Yes, agreed. I allready made an update, with shadows and some fixes for the grail, the lamp and some nice little other additions. I'll add a preview from updated version, with shadows in that file (no need to change resorces_shadows.pcx everytime if c&p).

But as long I have no solution for the palette-problem it is IMHO a mistake to upload another corrupted file. Could be, I should zip it. But that's not a real fix for the problem, it only may be(?) a way to avoid this.
This is the problem with the corrupted file: All runs fine in editor and Civ3, but when uploaded the file and then downloaded + opend again in PSP, the palette is going mad.

 

[Arne]

Even zip dosn't work now. Okay, I'll upload it here.

 

[embryodead]

here it works

I wonder how to use the horn... There will be a sub-mod for WH-Mod taking place in "cold north" where it would be suitable, but on the other hand it's just horn... plenty of them if cattle is around. I like the resource, but don't know how to name it to make it unique.

 

[Gojira54]

Maybe a unique resource required for a Wonder? An elvish war horn or something would work.

 

[Arne]

How about name it after a nordic god? For examle Thor's Horn or Odin's Horn.
