Art and Music

Actually, it is, but I can fix that. Although to what?

A horse would be more fitting. Maybe, to make it a bit unique looking, have it be based on Przewalski's Horse (make it shorter, like donkey height, give it a mohawk.)
Camels in the far east just seem a tad odd.
 
I understand what you are saying, but at the same time using a horse is pretty impractical. The European/Vanilla merchant has a camel, so I don't understand what the huge difference is. I am considering using different animations for him anyway.
 
Here are the flags you asked for.

Hittites: Sun Disk, Lion Head
Seljuk: Bow and Arrow (from that Mod in Warlords)
Khazars: Letter He

Hey, The Capo, it's been a while, and I've been real busy since I am/was in the process of moving. Anyhow, since I'm starting to - slowly - end my modding hiatus, I'd just like to ask if there were any diplomacy music you'd like in the near future (or leaderhead personalities, if there's still some missing or if there are new leaders), if you still need any.
 
I think we're pretty good on that right now, I'm not entirely sure what music I am going to need. I'm waiting on some code right now, so in the mean-time I'm working on getting the leaderheads and units optimized.
 
Since I'm still awaiting some code, I decided to work on a few ethnic GP that were still missing. Here they are...

There is an Asian Merchant, Scientist, and Artist. A Mesopotamian Great Engineer. And a Native American Engineer and Scientist. There are obvious problems, but I hope I can get help fixing them up for the mod, I still have to replace some parts on them, and fix some of the animations (which I am going to need help on actually). But I am trying to get at least some form of usable ethnic GP for the spots they are needed. There are plans for Indian GP, some Egyptian GP, more Middle Eastern GP, and maybe a couple European ones (including ancient).

Well, there are around three weeks left until Civ V comes out, and I think I should go ahead and admit that I probably will not be finished with this mod at that time. I am going to try my best of course, but right now I have been left in a position where I have an SDK that is missing a lot of things I wanted, and which has a lot of things that are merely there for playtesting purposes. Therefore I can't guarantee when this will be finished.

Because of this, I am just going to push out the next playtest as soon as I finish up a couple more ethnic Great People. Here is an Egyptian Engineer (I am actually surprised this was never really made before, he will be used for the Egyptians, Nubians and probably Berbers) that I have been working on:

So, I guess my point is that I am going to release a playtest to a few people whenever I finish what I am working on now, after that I am going to try and get the SDK cleaned up (and maybe get the last couple things added) and then hopefully I'll be ready to release a version 1, and just update it when I can.

Capo, that looks -awesome.-
As someone that usually plays as Egypt, that especially makes me happy.

Also, even with Civ5's release, at least a couple of us will still be free to assist with playtests. I know at least one other person who's been contributing is boycotting Civ5, just can't remember who.

If there's any way we can help, just ask.
 
Nice unit. He looks... very serious. :goodjob:

Anyhow, even if Civ5 is out, that doesn't mean the Civ4 modders are all going to suddenly be magically destroyed. Civ3's modding community is still relatively alive, even now, so don't worry. :D
 
Thanks guys, I need some encouragement. There have been some setbacks with this mod. :(

Anyway, here's another Egyptian Great Person, it is the Great Artist...

This is just a reskin of SeaSnake's Middle-Eastern Ancient Great Person.

Holy crap that's awesome looking! Man I can't wait now.
 
Wow, these are awesome! Btw, I'll still be playing CIV when CV comes out, I just have to clear out a bit of hard drive space. That's what CCleaner's for :p
 
I figure I haven't really updated the OP/Gallery lately, so here are a few new images from the mod. This first one is an LH made by Den, I forget who he intended him to be but I have decided to use him as Nebuchadnezzar (I slightly reskinned him), because the old Nebby wasn't really fitting in with the rest of the awesome LHs in Diplomacy II. Here he is...

And now we have one of the ethnic great people I have been working on. It is a Middle-Eastern Great Merchant that will be used primarily in the medieval ("Middle" in XML terminology) era. I hope you guys like him...

Quite spiffy what you have there.

However, I didn't know the the Mayans were from the Middle East. :D
 
Very nice looking Nebuchadnezzar.

Yeah, I didn't know that either. Unfortunately, and I hate to call my friends out, you failed to see that the flag for the unit is Arab. So, what you said really makes no sense. :goodjob:
