Thank you

I do not want models by other people, i am resolved to make every model myself.

Shiro, that Iroquois pic is not loading for me... But i think i will first make an Aztec (medieval) set, since i have some models for that, and only later on create an ancient era for the amerindian civ.

I'm happy to hear that an aztec set is on the cards. I think this style is growing on me also.

 

[Kyriakos]

More pics of different Aztec centerpieces would really help. I think i need three...

 

[Wolfshade]

I can provide help here:
1) a ball court (that's the reason Meso- & South American football players are best - victory=life, defeat=death). There were a number of courts, even a "Great Ball Court". Decide for yourself which one to use and adapt it for yourself.
2) El Caracol observatory - although it was Mayan, the most known Mesoamerican calendar was developed by Maya.
3) Templo Mayor. No TM - no Aztecs. It's a most important building of Aztec culture.

You can easily find pics & even models on the web. It's a suggestion, but at least 2 should remain in final version.

Hm,this is what i have up to now:

One large temple is missing, and another is too much like the major one...

The best ball games players in the Americas are black, if I don't get wrong, they become residents of Americas because of the Slave trade...
Victory means life, yes, and (means) winning all clothings from the audience as souvenir.

Kyriakos, you can take Pounder's Mesoamerican city sets as reference, perhaps the Mesoamerican scenario (Conquest) can give you more inspirations...

Kyr, what's the purpose of the small pyramid?
Here

Spoiler :

- I don't see a small one (1) and it's a small "semi-copy" of the big one (2). Kukulkan pyramid?

 

[Ozymandias]

Gentlemen, just a quick point of current thinking -- that the winners were sacrificed,and competed for the honor ... Or, as one anthropologist put it, "What are we to make of a people for whom murder was prayer?"

Best,

Oz

 

[Kyriakos]

Do you like this?

 

[Dumanios]

Nice!

 

[nick0515]

I like it. It looks a little dark though.

Any chance of an African set other than North African?

 

[Ares de Borg]

Like it, too, even the color.

 

[Kyriakos]

Is this better?

 

[Sandris]

Yes, it is.

 

[Kyriakos]

Some changes:

I will be needing some design for Aztec walls

 

[ShiroKobbure]

I don't know about the box ontop of the pyramid. post 1253 looks better.
I also think the blue should be replaced with orange-red

Aztec Cities:

[Kyriakos]

Nice pics, i will rework the set a bit tomorrow

 

[Kyriakos]

But for the time being:

 

[Ares de Borg]

I like this better than the white one.

Well native american architecture tends to look like crap to me for some reason, but i will probably upload this (and then erase it )
