Have fun!

Good job!

 

[Kyriakos]

Thanks, i like it a lot too

Fixed the Hagia Sophia main dome a bit since it used to have a washed-out tone in parts of it. (dl again if you want to).

 

[Kyriakos]

Any more views?

I think it is really my best ever style and set

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

It's a nice set. There may be some Philistines, to whom it will look similar to some of your other work - but they need to look at the work that's gone into the finer detail here! I particularly like how you've textured the roofs.

Is that a Varangian guard in Constantinople?

 

[Kyriakos]

Thanks

Yes, that is a Varangian guard. I made the preview pic using the Twilight scenario about the Byzantine Empire.

I think that mostly the lighting has been improved in a major way when compared to my earlier works with Bryce and Blender.

I'm just thankful it wasn't a Twilight scenario based on the film of the same name .

One question I have for you; some of your buildings are larger than the standard sets, and one effect of this is that they expand out into the coast - as per Constantinople in your screenshot. I'm not saying that this is "wrong" in any way and, in fact, may have been an intentional effect - I'm just curious if you were intending this to be the case.

 

[Kyriakos]

I wanted the set to have a decent size, which is a bit larger in the metro than the one my populous "New Series" had.

That said, in the not so distant past i had created larger city sets using Blender. This one was a bit of a compromise, smaller all-around that some other ones, but with a massive metro centerpiece (Hagia Sophia). Metro and other city/town/walled town size is good in my view, even optimal

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

I think it's the perfect size - and have always thought that there's no point in having small-ish city graphics one can hardly see.

I like bigger cities too. I'm willing to sacrifice the tiles behind.

Great set by-the-way Kyriakos!

 

[Kyriakos]

Thank you both

Nice to see you again, Nick

 

[nick0515]

And you to my friend, especially bearing such a fine gift for the rest of us

 

[Dumanios]

Oooh! Grabbing!

 

[Kyriakos]

Thank you

I have an important announcement to make, check the Forum Members thread in our own C&C forum

 

[nick0515]

Which thread is that mate? Trying to find your anouncement but failing.

 

[Kyriakos]

It is this one: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=353148&page=28 (post #543...).

It has to do with some geometrical project i have finished now. I think it is of some importance.

 

[Sir Karnizer]

Fantastic design. The size seems perfect.

 

[Kyriakos]

Thanks

New (and final) version up. Different wall entrance/towers. I will rework the entrace to the wall of the Aztec set in the near future too
