Ogedei's City Graphics, take 2

[Ogedei_the_Mad]

It's been a while since I worked on city graphics, but I haven't abandoned them yet. After finishing my Korean city graphics, I realized that I never finished the Chinese ones. So now I'm going to finally get back to those and improve upon them.

This graphic is Size 3 for the Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties, which will serve as the "Ancient" age graphics. It's still far from complete. Some of the old buildings are just placeholders.

Should I keep the Qin war banners in the avenue or get rid of them?

 

[Takhisis]

Excellent! Great!
The banners are especially good.

Qin, Han, Tang Dynasties graphics completed. Next will be updated Song, Jin, and Yuan Dynasties graphics.

 

[Snorken]

Looks great.

Those cities are absolutely inspiring, Ogedei.

I have a semi-related question: How are things going with The Art of War mod?

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Good question Red.

Kind of stuck on the tech trees. I have the first two eras done, but the third and fourth are turning out to be a bit more tricky, especially since there is so much more documented for the later eras (the first two eras have relatively sparse information, so it's easier to make a simplified tech tree for them ). I'm still working on the Civlopedias, though. Also tweaking the unit lines a bit since some civs are way overpowered (particularly the Chinese and Tibetans) in units. Can't make any promises on when it will be released (if ever ).

 

[RedAlert]

I'm really glad to hear you are still working on it. I hope you manage to sort some of the tricky parts out. If you ever need any help, I'm sure lots of people here, myself included, would be glad to give a hand where they can.

I like them too, apart from the shape of size #1

Btw i am also reworking some cities. The current byzantine #3 will be byzantine #1 soon!

I am using a computer at some netcafe atm, so i cannot make a thread about them, so decided instead to make a useless comment in Ogedei's thread :shakehead

good work ogedei

Sounds good. Sorry for the thread-jacking, Ogedei.

Don´t you have a PC at home?
Netcafés are mainly for addictive, 4-hour-minimum LAN playing in massive numbers in Buenos Aires.

i have a computer at home, but my connection to the web had timed out. I now am the proud owner of a new connection

Got back to work on the next era graphics. This is for the Song, Jin, and Yuan Dynasties period.

The shape of the tower is based on a guard tower of the city of Suzhou.

 

[Stormrage]

Sweeeeeeeet! I love it!

 

[Kyriakos]

Can you post previews with magenta as the background colour?

 

[Ogedei_the_Mad]

Song, Jin, and Yuan Dynasties graphics completed. The buildings I used here are all based on actual buildings dating from around that period (such as the Tiger Hill Pagoda of Suzhou and Lingyin Temple of Hangzhou). Once I finish the walled graphics for this period, I'll get to work on the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Great work Ogedai.

 

[Ogedei_the_Mad]

I've begun work on the new Ming and Qing Dynasty graphics.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

You should use Red on the roofs like the Forbidden Palance, and have golden gates and the entire set up should be ornate.

 

[Stormrage]

Woot! A new city talent on the horizon!
