Only problem is I don't know what Andean graphics looked like.....

Got some architectural graphics pegged for you. I'll post them this weekend (maybe tonight).

 

[RedAlert]

Alright we'll see what you come up with and we will work from there. Are you aiming for a cross between the firaxis meso cities and mine btw?

That's the plan
If you do make those Andean cities, Blue Monkey will have you pointed in the right direction, for sure.

Units are up, btw, in post #3.

I made the guy in red, only difference is he is armed with a spear, instead of a macana blade.

 

[Blue Monkey]

Btw, would you be interested in doing the era three andean city graphics - something to compliment the mesoamerican ones you did for that era?

The smorgasbord is pretty wide. Hopefully you can find some useful images in there. I apologize for losing track of the one image I found with the Machu Picchu houses thatched.

I know Skam did some Incan cities. Maybe those could be used for the first era. AS for era two and three i'm at a loss. Those pictures seem way outta my league to do. But thanks for posting them BLue.

just for reference, Quincy made an archer we can use in this mod: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=6001529&postcount=1

I'm currently using that guy as the Huastec UU. Do you think you could do a version with a macana?

I'm actually using the first era of Emperor Xerxes' Latin American cities for era one. I'll take a look at Skam's cities and see if I can incorporate them somehow in era two.
Don't worry about era three, then; I'll give it a try.

Ooh! Excellent! A perfect replacement for the era one archer.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Theres the cities I was talking about, the incan ones Red.

 

[RedAlert]

Cool. I'll definately incorporate those terraced farms. Thanks.

And we got another unit from Quinzy, this time a spearman no less, its on the civ3 units board Red. It can serve as the first era spearman.

Siyah Kak was one man wasn't he? Anyone know any Totonacan and you could pull the word "warrior" from it? I think that's what the Teotihuacán spoke anyways

And glad to see i'm of help in other ways. That unit tree is giving my inspiration.

Here's a preview of the first Tech Icons pack I've made for your mod:



Agriculture, Fortifications, Trade Network, Taxation
Tlachtli, Calendar, Spanish Invasion, Civil Rights

Link to post in my Tech Icon Library thread
DL here.

There's plenty more on the way.

Blue Monkey you are a talented tech maker as always. I hope Red sees this. On my end I have an Olmec head ready, with two eras which would be appropriate for this mod. All that remains is pcxs(which I hate doing).

 

[Blue Monkey]

Blue Monkey you are a talented tech maker as always.

Thank you. Other people make the images; I just troll the web (Especially Wikimedia) & libraries, do some CnP & play with the pallettes.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

OdintheKing made some Tech Icons for mesoamerica as well. Its just a matter of going back far enough in forum history and finding them.

I hope Red sees these posts.

Blue have you got Poser yet by any chance?

Blue have you got Poser yet by any chance?

I got the free versions (both PC & Mac) when they were available. Before I can begin to learn a new program I need to at least finish the map for this mod. (The biggest problem with that is I need sustained concentration & 2-3 hour work sessions. It's much easier to track down images & make tech icons while doing other things or in short bursts.) When that's done I plan to really concentrate on learning Poser & make some Indian units.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Wish I could help you there. I have a few indian units I made awile back that I should revisit...what I really need help with is gunpowder units. I can't do the pose for firing a gun it just looks awful.

Yes, just one man. It's the best name I could think of at the time, but a better name is definately needed. I do believe the Totonacs claimed to have been the builders of that city.
Your new units are just great! Thanks for making them, and please, do as many as you like!

Holy tech icons, Batman!! Blue Monkey, thank you so much!

An Olmec leaderhead?! I can't wait to see it!

I'm plunking stuff into the editor at the moment. I may get a city preview up tomorrow too.
It's great to have you guys helping! You've all just made my day

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I can't wait to see your cities I really like seeing your work...

 

[Quinzy]

It's my pleasure Red, I enjoy making them
