The preview thread

[Kyriakos]

I decided to erase the carriage, since it looks too different from my other resources.
I also erased the french set because

Spoiler :

it has been zipped already
I will upload it in a bit over 5 days

 

[Kyriakos]

So, anyone got a suggestion for an interesting asian medieval culture, apart from Japan, China, Mongolia and Korea?

Khmers?

 

[Ares de Borg]

Khmer / Vietnam.

 

[Kyriakos]

The Khmer seem to have simple architecture.

Well, the first is not impossible, and the last one is generally simple. But the Anghor Wat looks like a nightmare.

Also i have no idea what their houses looked like.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

I google image searched "cambodia houses". You could maybe model something like this:

 

[Kyriakos]

Thank you

However the houses must be of the same material as the monuments, in this case stone

 

[Huayna Capac357]

I'll see if I can find something in stone.

EDIT: It seems as if the only real stone dwelling are either from the French period or modern. Or palaces.

I also found this:

which is buildable. Also it is from the 9th century AD, whereas two of the buildings in the pics are modern :/

Spoiler for a large image of the work up to now, on a Genghis Khan era map:

I decided instead to make a Tibetan set.

However it is quite hard trying to find what the roofs of the buildings look like, no aerial photos around...

Here is a possible centerpiece:

Some changes:

Kyriakos, I am using your ancient Egyptian set below for the Middle East around 200BC - 100AD.

However, mainly due to the pyramid, I'm using your size 2 building as my size 3 one, and your size 1 building as my size 2. I was wondering if you would please make a new, smaller, size 1 building, plus a walled version? It's for ADII, which I'm aiming to get released in a week or so. Just having the centrepiece would suffice.

 

[Kyriakos]

Rob, sad to hear you don't like the Pyramid :/ However i have to say that it is my policy to never touch again anything i have uploaded, unless there were errors with it (such as pixels that shouldnt be there) or at some cases if i thought i could improve it.
But no, i do not plan to rework the egyptian set. And although it will be sad to see you drop it from ADII, there is nothing to be done
And idea: perhaps you could use the Persian set in its place. Anyway it is your call..

It's not that I don't like the pyramid, it's just that I wanted to use it as a generic middle-East set. Don't worry though, as there are a couple of buildings you were doing earlier in the thread that will suit the purpose perfectly. I thought of using the top building as the size 1 building and the bottom one as the walled version - obviously if you have no objection !

 

[Ares de Borg]

Rob, I've sent you an email.

 

[Kyriakos]

You can alter the set if you wish, just include a note of that in the readme

What do people think of this Tibetan #1? It is almost complete, i only have the gate to the main building to add, and some othe minor stuff after that.

 

[Kyriakos]

And a possible 2:

 

[Ares de Borg]

Neat.

 

[Kyriakos]

Some more changes, i think that now it looks ok
