Art and Lore

[Valkrionn]

Those are VERY nice indeed! I especially like the sage... And the doctor too actually (if toads are sages, I see it perfectly fit for a doctor, he could be considered a "specialized" sage)

Are those scheduled to be included with the next version??

Yes. I'm hoping to get a good system in place to make it easy to add new button art for other civs later on (Unique Specialist buttons are a good place to add some unobtrusive art), but it would be absurdly easy to simply hardcode them in if I run out of time. The screen is done in python, after all.

 

[VSPavlov]

Check it out, Valk) Stars maybe a bit.. unlike the other stars, but they should be quite visible.

 

[Valkrionn]

Here's a composite of the new images (Which fixed any complaints I had; Will be using them).

Wow, I am left nearly speechless.

Um...

I don't consider myself a racist, but I think all those pictures of lizardmen look the same.

 

[Valkrionn]

Um...

I don't consider myself a racist, but I think all those pictures of lizardmen look the same.

I think they're all fairly distinct, and all have a different color anyway so will be easy to recognize at a glance.

If you meant compared to the original pic I posted, the Healer and Citizen were changed, and the Bard was new. As well as the 'Great X' buttons, but that's just a star.

 

[VSPavlov]

Valk, please take a look.
I've ripped art of Disciples II for this.

Actually, I thought, it would look better, but size is very limiting... they really need an in-game testing to see, how do they look on the city screen.

 

[Valkrionn]

I'll have to test them later, don't have time atm; If you want to test them yourself, you can do so one at a time quite easily, just drop them in the Healer folder and rename them to the Priest specialist one at a time.

If you feel like some XML work, you could put them in the art folder and then redirect the Specialist buttons (GameInfo/SpecialistInfos) to your art, and see them all at once, but that's a bit more work.

Edit: Forgot to include this, after delaying my reply in the first place so I could have it.

 

[Darksaber1]

So, Infernals?

 

[Valkrionn]

Exactly.

 

[Darksaber1]

Ok then, loking good. If you had meant them for the Elohim, then I'd need to know what I missed.

 

[VSPavlov]

If these are OK, I'm going to follow with Greenskins (Orcs/Goblins for Clans and, possibly, they can be used for Jotnar) and, possibly, redesigning Humans. But no work with humans unless I get a decent mechanics to test them in game

 

[Valkrionn]

Sent you a pm on the subject, as it has some info not publicly available. Feel free to taunt people mercilessly.

For unique-looking specialists, Elves (both races) next?

Actually, Dwarves appear more different from Humans than Elves do, so they would come first. And do, in the list VSPavlov sent me, though he may have changed it since.

You'll know, when you see them)

*playing Ubik here*

 

[VSPavlov]

Dwarves are ready (they're also ripped from Disciples II, and I think they're awesome)

Pure awesomeness.

 

[VSPavlov]

Actually, there's an error in Great persons overlay

Please, use this updated version

 

[Milaga]

Pure awesomeness.

Tsk. Not a Larry Elmore in the bunch.

I'm just kidding, they look really nice.
