The current Volcano graphics are horrible, imho. Could someone either make better graphics or just convince Kael to use the FF variety?

 

[Jean Elcard]

To show the difference between a FfH and a FF volcano here two screen shots.

 

[Annex]

They seem to look better on ice, for some reason I believe the current volcano looks out of place on grassland and fields, especially when they sit next to mountains.

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

i think the FF volcanos are excelent, i couldnt do any better at all.

Found this rather inspirational, if a little OT.

[[to_xp]Gekko]

thanx for my new desktop background evanb. it has successfully detronized the attached one ( which was made by a friend of mine to make fun of my laptop, which CAN run oblivion. at 640*480. BARELY. )

 

[BeefontheBone]

Way off topic, but the Oldblivion mod did wonders optimising it to run on lower-spec machines.

The Scorpion Clan goblins looks much cooler than the generic ones. Would it be possible to use those models for the clan of embers? Maybe with a different colored flag to differentiate them?

I don't recall who the original painter was (Jason Engle?) but that kid should really give proper credit. Such is dA though.

Yeap, its Jason Engle. I was fontunate enough to meet him and buy that painting from him (well, actually I bid for it and won it in an auction).

Just a quick question. Are the mercenaries going to get race specific (elf, dwarf, orc) graphics at some point?

 

[MagisterCultuum]

I personally think they should, and that hire mercenary should give you mercenaries of random races instead of always of your civ's race.

Thanks for volunteering to make 'em

 

[MagisterCultuum]

I'd volunteer to write the code to give them random races (it could just be copied from the buy slave spell), but I know nothing of making graphics.

I'm actually still leaning towards making Mercenary a promotion instead of a unit though, and making it possible to hire essentially any non-world unit.

I'm thinking it would be good to have Lizardman, Centaur, and Frosting (and maybe even Dragon?) slave graphics too.

 

[KillerClowns]

...I'm thinking it would be good to have Lizardman, Centaur, and Frosting (and maybe even Dragon?) slave graphics too.

Dragon slave graphics would make a nice Easter Egg. Maybe make Dragon provide a +100 work rate... you could strap a pretty big plow to one of those things.
Lizardman slave graphics seem like the highest priority, though. Most of my slaves end up being captured barbarians, Orcs and Lizardmen. Graphics for the latter are definitely needed. Enslaved frostlings and centaurs aren't as common, but if anyone could whip up graphics for those...

Heh, I was thinking about this when someone mentioned it in another thread.
