Not true, Ogedei had made non-isometric buildings in the past. But no one is bothering with whether or not a number of people won't use them. Besides, once i will have made a few tens of them, they will not be that rare of a sight

The different view is useful for making a wonder splash.

They are tech icons, right? Or building improvements?
As far as improvements and the such go, I don't even recall what perspective the original Firaxis game uses (it's been a while, but was a generic iso view). But whatever perspective they used probably isn't as good as what the C3C community can do. I like it Kyriakos.

At first I thought it was previews for new type of cities, hence my remark...

Great! Nothing like some 2d buildings! I have been hoping for something like this:
Hopefully you can consider it?

These new improvement graphics are beautiful!
Thank you Kyriakos for yet more great work.

Isn't the shadow a bit too strong or wrongly placed? If you put the shadow toward the top, it would probably look better
For the other buildings, as the base colour is light, we can still see something. for the longhouse, as the base colour is already dark, it hides most of this side.
I think having the light somewhere to the "south", and the "shadow" on the Northside, may be better.
Perhaps you can give it a try to compare.

I dont think that the building's texture has any effect on the shadow; the shadow seems to be calculated from the terrain's texture (and the building's form obviously).
(Unless you meant the tone of the shadowed part of the actual building, but this cannot change now either)
And i agree that the particular shadow form for the longhouse is not that interesting, but i won't change the settings since i don't want to revisit what i have already made

The building texture has an effect, since light texture + light shadow = medium dark result, while dark texture + light shadow = very dark result.
And for the rest, well, if you are not ready to suffer a little to progress toward perfection, you'll never reach Nirvana. Your next reincarnation will be a worthless little worm

I already see what i produce as perfect, perhaps it is mistaken by less artistic souls though
This is the Byzantine castle. It is modelled after the one in Age of Kings.
However unfortunately it is not that grandiose a design. Do you think it looks ok next to the japanese castle, or should i try to model something new, larger and more historically accurate?
