New Terrain style

[PaGe]

First of all: The terrain really looks beautiful.

But one think I wanna mention. The roads will make problems. They will overlay the terrain and disturb this beautiful view. And they hardly could be seen, what will be a real problem at playing. I have no idea to solve it, but perhaps someone else has an idea.

Hallo PaGe
The streets are an great problem for this new style ! I will produce the streets very very small.

Here are the eastern (Orient) citys:

wow. Now there is some serious eye candy. Doesn't go overboard though.

The irrigations look great.

One thing you should keep in mind is that you have all the tiles full and that will cause them to stick out over the water on coastal tiles. Firaxis has an intended pattern that the game follows for the most part and I have attached a diagram to show how each tile is intended to be used.

The lines show the side of the tile that connects to another irrigation and the spray is the irrigation.

I like your style a lot. Are you making these from scratch, or are you converting him from soemthing else?
...

Would you consider giving me an hand with the graphics for my game?

I'm still a bit stuck because I don't have an artist to move forward with the map.

Contact me at stephane.f.david@free.fr (msn or email) for more info

EDIT: I've just realized we already exchanged a bit by email about my game... Well exchange is perhaps not the best word, as you did not answer my latest email.

I dont understand this question - sorry I am a german.

Yes - please send me screens. We can use this graphics for an campaign map.

Do you take a look at my projekts JTCS meets PG3D... at matrixgames ?

These are wonderful. I hope you add links of your finished products to the first post when you are done.

Hallo Steph

I dont understand this question - sorry I am a german.

He is basically asking, are you creating these on your own (designing all the buildings and fields etc.) or are you converting them from a different game (such as Legions / Chariots)

Hallo Civ III Fans
I am working on new Terrain ideas like the game Legion / Chariots.

The graphic comes from Legion and Chariots with my modifications to the padformat in CIV III.
It is all for an new Ancient + Medieval Scenario for CIV III.

pounder:
Thanks for this good padinformations. I make pads new with more variants later. Now I will produce the completly Terrainserie to an BETA version.

[Hrafnkell]

These are coming along very nicely. Can't wait to see them when they're done.

 

[Yang Liu]

Question to all !!!
It is possible, to change the size of the pads in irrigations and others like LM mountains file ? This is the way to place the full pads in the high.
And it is also possible, to chane the size of the resourses pads ?

H.Balck

 

[againsttheflow]

pads? are you speaking of the tiles (ie one square)?

 

[Yang Liu]

yes. I mean the tiles.

Firaxis has an intended pattern that the game follows for the most part and I have attached a diagram to show how each tile is intended to be used.

That's very useful information I can use. Thanks Pounder.

 

[Steph]

If I still have it, I'll send you by email a doc explaining how all the terrain from Firaxis is working

 

[Yang Liu]

Here are the first part of the global terrain:
The testversion is without beautiful and flowing transitions. Also structure is missing yet, comes however still.

Here are the additional bonusthings in the beginning of my ancient / medieval game. 5 for the northlands and 4 for the southlands. In my upcoming scenario these bonusthings I will set in a very small spreading and after historical yardsticks, like important graves, treasures etc.

and here are the first view of my new resources:

view on map:

resources:

incense / dyer / vine / wood for ships / salt / marble
Fish / Fish / horses (north) / horses (south)
mercenaries: germanic / greek / syrian / orient / egypt /italian...
and many many more comes later.

Mercenaries-symbols in the city view:

Mercenaries are the only troop types, which do not need a point of population to the recruitment. They can no follow an citypopulation. The buildupcosts are very high and they need Support. Being omitted of this military resource is very very highly adjusted. Mercenaries can also not to be upgraded to a higher lever unit.
