Yeah, this seems to be getting a little too serious. Some people ( ) seem to get all heated up by this, it should be a humourous discussion IMHO. It's just different ways to draw graphics for a computer game...
Now you know I prefer Nemonesque units, that's all. You may have me excused...

Well, the ANGA charter does not bar you from using nemo type units. I use them myself, especially when it involves human figures. ANGA is not against using Nemo units (in spite of ANGA's name), its just an association expressing its anga over the Deification of 'cartoon' units (Deification of Nemo the person is tollerated).

 

[Cleveland]

Well.. Thats good. Theyr mostly "human" units. (orcs, trolls, dragons)

 

[DarthVeda]

Lazy people of the world unite? Hi-res units are friggin uglier than sin.

With 2 hours you can make a good nemo-style unit that is pleasing to the eye, or with 2 minutes you can make a really damned ugly hi-res unit with your trusty scanner.

The *worst* thing about them is that they point in every friggin direction known to man. Secondly, they have NO DEPTH in a game that is isometric! This is Civ2 kiddies, not Civ1!

 

[BKA]

Had a bad day on the star destroyer huh?

Count me in. Not so much because I dislike Nemo units, but because I'm sick of the utter bigotry of the anti-ANGA crowd (deification, as Koby put it). I'll put it plainly: NOT ALL HI-RES UNITS ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE BLOBS! For god's sake people, there are some sh.itty ones and some good ones, just like anything else in life.

 

[CurtSibling]

I cant believe I am looking at this thread.

And I can't believe so many respected creators are taking part in this crap.

If CIV2 is to survive, how can it with inter-graphical rivalry and creators at each other's throats?

Frankly, I'm speechless.

There is damn well room for all graphics in this community.
I use both Nemo's and other cool stlyes of great artists on my scenarios.

I love all unit graphics, I refuse to take side is this ridiculous debate...(if you can call it that)
Nemo put a lot of hard work into his creations,
and all people do now is slander him, when he is not around?

IT'S PATHETIC!

kobayashi, your grahics rule, we all know this.
But graphics are all a matter of taste, you cannot dictate what people like!

Also kobayashi, as a respected scenario veteran YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER!

Please people, end this silliness, before it breaks alliances and friendships in our community.

We need CIV "FRIENDSHIP AND UNITY!" not rivalry....

please read the the entire thread before assigning any blame. I wrote above

To sum up, ANGA members USE nemo graphics but NGA members DO NOT USE Hi-Res units. No doubt nemo units will remain popular but ANGA has served its purpose by highlighting that there is a world beyond the so called 'isometric' units.

 

[CurtSibling]

This is pathetic.

I use all graphics.

I do think there is a private agenda here.

I agree 100%. As a member of the ANGA, I do not condemn Nemo-units, they just don't appeal to me. That does not mean that I don't like Captain Nemo as a person, nor does it mean that I don't like people who likes these type of units. I would never divide the Civ-community. This is simply just a group for those people who prefer hi-res units in stead of Nemo-units. It seems as this has gone out of hand, I would never join this group if I knew what the outcome would be. People have really misunderstood the meaning of the group (at least as far as I have interpredated it).

(I also use all graphics and enjoy graphis from several different artist, including Nemo).

Common Curt, it's all with tounge firmly in cheek. At least I hope it is...

ps, NGA suck!!

 

[Peregrine]

Before Curt chimed in, the only person I noticed being perturbed about this little tempest-in-a-teapot was Koby. Surprising indeed because he started the whole thing. Must be something wrong with me because I never took any of it seriously. L.O.L!

Ironic element # 1; I have actually used some photo-reductions in Imperialism 1870. It worked well enough, though not as well as I would have liked. You can easily find them if you look.

Ironic element # 2; Koby admitted to using Nemo-type units in his SDC 4 entry (which he won, btw).

Could we have a hint?

 

[SunTzu]

i would guess either the one above the submarine or the one below it, or both...
