Great, I think we can do some good stuff then. I'll PM ya as soon as I get some material.

[Voutare]

Ok, so everyone:

After Thursday, I will be helping Lynores work on this mod. I will keep you all updated on my modeling.

Thanks mate. I'm working on another acropolis icon, so we can have different ones for Sparta and Athens. I'll send it to you when it's finished. We might also need a couple bridges. If I don't make those until thursday I'll let you know. When we finish those I'll start working on the player and npc world map icons and remake them using proper meshes and textures. Everything else is done, so after that it's scenes 24/7. We can exchange props and textures then.

If you got any idea on other possible factions, let me know.

[Voutare]

Damn those are nice graphics...

I don't think I have seen anyone on TaleWorlds that can texture that well (with the exception of Armagan).

[Merlkir]

the textures do indeed look fine and highres. (does Armagan even texture? I think he's a coder, Ipek did all the graphics before they hired the graphic guys)
Love the new spartan shield.

[Lynores]

Thanks, Voutare.

Love the new spartan shield.

It's old actually, one of the first I got in. I put three spartan shields, one for the astynomia, one for the perioikos (neighbour) hoplites, and one for the spartans, aside the regular varied shields for the rest of the spartan army.

I edited the main post with new pictures of the athenian logades. It's the athenian elite, the spartan counterpart. I tried to make them look badasses while not looking like the spartans at all. Note the closed helmet and the shield. There is also a couple archers and attic hoplites mixed in those pics.

EDIT: My main objective was to make everyone want to play on athens' side as well, and not make it just a hole-filling counterpart for sparta.

Hey man,

Wow the textures on the breastplates look awesome same goes for the shields.
Tough to bad that the mohawk thingy on some helmets go a bit trough the shield on the back but hey no mod is perfect.
Well even tough it isnt historical accurate i dont care still worth a download for me.
Keep it up

[Merlkir]

the closed helmet looks somewhat cool

Yeah, I was annoyed by that too. I'll try to move a few vertices here and there and solve that. I'm definitely aware of it though. As for the  historical accuracy, I did keep everything else but the main units. The light infantry uses either the chiton clothing or the linothorax, the xystophoroi uses the boeotian helmet, the Thespians use the high crest corinthian helmet and a dark cuirass etc. I mean the right equipment is mostly there, with the exception of the spartiates and athenian logades. I could easily get rid of them and put the true historical counterparts, but I just think it would look *ugly*. I might run a poll on that later, though.

EDIT: By the way, the athenian historical hoplite is there, if I would be aiming for true accuracy I'd have to get rid of the logades elite and switch it for the attic hoplite (the true athenian hoplite, only the new one would have a simple cuirass, not the muscled one).

As you can see here:

Nah i think i like the way they are now better it should some own adding and maybe a Lil twist of fantasy and  that's what makes mods so beautiful.

I wouldn't call it fantasy, more like "blending of the ages".

It is historically accurate armors, just not the right time it is being used in.

[Lynores]

True. I didn't make up anything there, besides creativity for drawings colors etc. But the forms and shapes are close to the original.

By the way Voutare, this is more or less what I had in mind. I still gotta work on the textures though, and reshape that mountain.

Send me a pic when you got yours done. Or tell me what you have in mind.

[DarkAnd]

is that a map icon?

[Lynores]

Yeah, only 20% finished though.

EDIT: I was thinking of putting in different sets of buildings, and possibly adding a statue somewhere. Voutare, can you finish that for me? I'll send you the UV map, texture and mesh if you can. You could also use parts of the mesh  to add to your own icon, since they're already mapped, so it'd be less trouble for you. PM me your e-mail address and I'll send them over.

[Voutare]

Ok, I can do that.
