Facing the need to free a culture group, I combined the European with the Mediterranean cultures. But im no graphical artist, best I could do was combine elements of different authors' work with some pixel editing here and there.

All credit goes to Red Alert, Aion (and Yoda Power who updated Aion's) and Skam0073, here's what I did:

Red Alert allready did a combined European set a few years ago, but I wasnt too happy with it. Still, the first 2 sizes in the ancient era are his and untouched, for the 3rd size I used Skam's. For the ancient walled I also used Skam's, the idea is, an ancient european civ that reaches a level capable of building stone walls will have higher architectural standards, so a size 1 walled city will look more similar to the larger size 3 city.

Most of the work went into the medieval age, I mixed Red Alert's medieval European set with one of Aion's, pasting elements of Aion's into Red Alert's in size 1 and doing the opposite in size 3. This translates into a mostly wood built village for size 1, but with more and more stone buildings for the larger sizes.

This will work for me, but if there's someone else willing to do better, please do! :)

Here's the preview, the other 2 eras were untouched, I actually dont know if they're Firaxis originals or not :mischief:

Whoa, high praise! :)
Its really great work by all 3 authors and work very well together, the medieval set makes an excellent job of showing the mixed architectural styles of different cultures. The ancient size 1 could have the greco-roman style buildings removed or replaced by more huts, if anyone wants to improve on that, go ahead.
 
First post updated to include Yoda Power in the credits, he made an update (which I used) to Aion's original set
 
I just did what I sugested someone to do above, replaced the stone-built buildings in ancient size 1 with some of RedAlert's celtic set buildings! Way much better :)
