I must say I like very much the new darker land terrain art. It gives a nice dark fantasy feeling...BUT I have to play with the option to show units on the map with that circle thingy or my eyes will pop out :/

Just giving a feedback, it is not a whine. Maybe the units could be a little brighter or I do not know. Playing in the night definetly makes things worse too.
 
these forests are great, but the problem is, when you play with them, they totally cover up resources, so i have to play with the resource bubbles turned on.

surely ther must be a way to just change where the game picks the individual trees from to make the flowing forrests that dissapears to accomodate resources etc?
 
OOC, why was the Lamia not implemented? I just played the Kuriorates (and read their civilopedia, very interesting) and was hoping for my adepts to be topless snake woman, but I was dissapointed. Will they ever be implemented?

Lamias are in the animator's shop wainting for Ploeper to animate them. Horewer, Plop have a new job that consume a lot of his time so the Lamia will have to wait a bit before to be implented.

unfortunately, the forest in [civ4] is set up in an extremely infuriating way so that any modification in its graphics causes it to stop acting like it should and just become one static object. This has been a thorn in the sides of modders for quite a while.
 
And there's no way to make a new, different forest that works differently or something?

oh bugger, there must be SOME way.... theres always a way ;)
 
The only thing I can think of is make there be a seperate graphic for tiles with resources and ones with hills (basically the only ones that are needed) and switch between them with python
 
I dont know, I guess this is the right place to ask, Are the Kuriotates going to get new centaur units for some of their later cavalry units? I heard a while back that they were but nothing since...
 
Just wanted to let you guys know that the Elvish Paladins look absolutely awesome. They animate great in combat too!

yea, its on my list, not sooo far away ;)
 
Are you working on new svartalfar units? I thought you could maybe use some of the art from sureshots mod to fill in the gaps, im sure she wouldnt mind, of course if you wanted to make more sureshots could just be used for place holders.

I'm not sure if she had art for all their units but she had a LOT, even the arcane units.
 
Some preview of the Sidar

I want to buy that NetherBladeTM!

Looks great!
 
hmm..I'm not sure I like the new Rathus. Shouldn't the natherblade have glowing green runes on it?

(In general, I'm not a big fan of the Sidar units. They are far too grey. Being somewhat pale then a lighter greyish color, then finally transparent would be best. The picture of Morgoth doesn't look nearly so grey.)

Yeah I know but I use the mesh that Kael is using for the NetherBlade equipement. I don't know if Kael want me to add green rune, or if he want to modify the pedia.
 
Great work with the new sidar units C.Rolands...I especially like the new ghost with the incredibly pale skin, kind of lools like a sith...what weappons will he use?

Any chance that you could try skinning Rathus with a ninja like face mask with the hood rather than the current open face hood
