Work in progess and Previews

[TopGun]

When considering the sheer volume of past productions, one must admit that the recent days pale in comparison. There hasn't been many leaderheads in the past few months, fewer and fewer unitmakers involved in production, and far less people active in producing building graphics.

Also note that I said "recession" and not "depression." What I meant to convey was that the community is not as energized as it once was

Are you kidding?
I think we are as vibrant and energetic as ever. Of course I can only speak for TAW, but we haven't slowed down a bit.

 

[Ozymandias]

And some of us are working very hard on keeping things going

How many leaderheads were produced in the past few months? How many buildings packs were released? How many graphics and units artists are still around? Not many.

I'm getting the impression that most of you are taking my comments as negative. They are not. What I said is that this community is still existing DESPITE the significantly fewer number of submissions compared to previous times. And how is that not an achievement???

Imperator and Sandris are making HUGE packs. We may have less artists than before, but they produce more units, and I think of higher quality, since we now have more experienced people.

We still see mods around.

... And I'm doing my best to keep units from a Very Well Regarded source coming our way, and (maybe ... time to make sacrifices to the gods ... maybe a goat ...) will be adding to the mods over the next 3-6 months (alpha => release).

... And let's not forget the steady and excellent output of Top Gun & Firefox, Ogedei himself, Pounder ...

Chins Up,

Yes, I never stopped modding... and I'm eagerly awaiting your new leaderhead art.

 

[RedAlert]

I really ought to make sure to follow through when I offer to do something for someone. I'm sorry.
If you still need them, I can supply names for those leaders now.

Here's some leaders I would recommend:

Irechecua Tzintzuntzani

- Tariacuri (founder of the Tarascan State)
- Tzitzipandaquare (held off Aztecs)
- Zuangua (held off Aztecs)

Mixteca

- Six Lizard Jade Fan (sister of Jaguar Claw)

Tlaxcala Confederacy

- Culhuatecuhtli (first leader)
- Maxixcatzin (leader when Cortez dropped by)

Mayapan

- Hunac Ceel (founder, overthrew Chichen Itza)

Toltecs

- Topiltzin Ce Acatl Quetzalcoatl (famous rula of Tula)

Rebel Mayans*

- Ah Xupan (overthrew Mayapan)

* Since you have Mayapan, I figured "Rebel Mayans" would be most appropriately represented by the Xiu dynasty of Uxmal, their main rivals. Possible alternatives to represent rebel mayans could be the Putun Maya or the K'iche' Maya.

I think I can start upload files this coming week.

Shiro, I have some images here that could be used as the background for the Atlantean Queen, Cleito.

The best choice is for the medieval and industrial ages, for the ancient something similar to meso american might do, and have no idea for modern age, maybe some city view from stargate atlantis.

Medieval:

Industrial:

[D.Durand]

Wow, the first look like the city can have existed !

 

[ShiroKobbure]

I've been extremely busy lately.
But in my free time, this is what I have been doing.

FYI, I still have those heads. haha sorry I haven't released those yet

 

[Sandris]

I`d love to play with them. When they could be released.

I don't know. I'm not sure which units I will make for my Ancient Korean/Japanese pack.

I was waiting to see which Japanese units you would make.

 

[RedAlert]

No rush, Shiro.
Please forgive our impatience, we're just excited.

And holy carp, sweet units!

 

[Ares de Borg]

Interesting and cool units! Any more info on these?

Good to hear you still have the LHs. Why don't you just upload the files? I could take care of the PCX, if you want.

 

[Madeira]

What Red said
Good looking units Shiro, hope you release them

Two more
Hwrang, and dismounted Hwrang

 

[Ares de Borg]

Very nice!

 

[Ogedei_the_Mad]

Awesome. Definitely much-needed units for me.

If you need something to call the Korean units, they are as follows (from the top row left to right):
1) Bobyeong 보병 (Foot Soldier)
2) Yukjeong Bobyeong 육정 보병 (Six Armies Foot Soldier) -OR- Chinwidae (Royal Guard)
3) Gaemamusa 개마무사 (Goguryeo Cataphract)
4) Hwarang 화랑
5) Nangdo 낭도

The Japanese units also can serve as Baekje and Gaya units as well since the armor is relatively similar.
