I still think these textures are too dark... but maybe it's just about lighting?

Did soldiers in renaissance used some "national" colours? Or was it some mishmash?

I think it is about lightning. I got advanced lessons on texturing by Master Zimke. :grin: First, we compared his and my version in a preliminary ingame photo shooting:

Zimke's proposition about saturation takes the model to a new top. I am very thankful for his advice. :grin:

As for your question on national colours: As far as I am informed, it was not until the late 17th century that uniformed clothing for their troops was appreciated by commanders. I heard stories that infantry would distinguish parties most of the time by yelling the respective warcry. However, every once in a while, I stumble upon references that give hint about uniforms resulting from heraldic clothing, kinghtly orders' clothing, regional clothing in late middle ages. Also, some owners of mercenary regiments bought "mass production" - if you could really use this term - garb to distribute to their troops.

For the Mod, however, a trade-off had to be made:
On one hand, the Mod is aiming for a genuine feeling of the Renaissance era - to be more precise: Earth's history from 1500 to 1540 with some items being really advanced reaching into the 1580s and a few being "old fashioned" stemming from the 1460s.
On the other hand, this is taking place in Calradia and a game, after all, not an exact reenactment. For the game part, I'd say, having heaps of guys with pokers dressed with the same set of about 6 or 7 suits and sharing blows is not exactly as enjoyable and intelligible as bands of people wearing distinct colours. Therefore, I made "national" colours.

But actually, you know the game: With the time passing, you'll have Lords switching loyalty and finally you'll have the mishmash. :wink:
 
^ in-game they look much better :smile: (but what is that light green ribbon on leg?! It need shading...)

hmm yeah, I think some differances are good, probably I'm too touchy in that matter after many RTSes with stupid red-green-yellow-blue faction units :razz:
