I don't know if it's your graphics or your picture taker but the top two or three almost have a "drawn" look to them, if you know what I mean. (Play DBZ Tenkaichi and you will know what I am referencing to.) Basically they have a thick outline/border.

Regardless I like how that looks. Nice :2thumbsup:

I highly doubt anything other than an image editor (You know, Photoshop, GIMP) could get you that sort of look, apart from a contracted artist/tracer.

07-30-2009, 22:07
Should have added, I've given some the "Cartoonify" effect using GIMP (free photoshop like program). I really like the way it looks for wallpaper and such.

Off-topic question, what are your settings? Unit details & such?

Ah, nice - a shot of Ipsos. Those pike units look great when they're all lined up, don't they?

mlc82
07-30-2009, 23:49
Anti-Aliasing is set to low (2x I think), most of my other settings are high/highest except building detail. Shadows are on, but "Detailed Shadows" is off, glints and reflections and dust are all on as well. 1280x1024 res.



For screenshots, I crank the unit detail to "Very High" as well, so even far off units look great. I turn it back to just "high" for big battles though, or my frame rate gets too low.

Have you tried using Mosaic filters?

Most of the units and such are so small that it makes everything too blurry looking. For a really close up shot of a single unit it could be neat though.

The pictures are great, and the cartoonify effect makes them look nice and sharp, but it'd be nice to see a few with no effects, or just an increased contrast (always improves pictures :clown: ).

I'll look forward to seeing some more (?)

If I get more completed I might make a seperate thread just for these, but for now will stick them here. Hope you all enjoy, or if you have some ideas for better shots and such just let me know.

Very nice pictures and good idea, have a balloon :balloon2:

My personal favorites are Pahlava, Sauromatae, Romani Marian, Arverni and AS (in this order)

The Makedonian one is good too, I wouldn't change it, on the other hand I find the KH one a little crowded and in the Ptolemaic I would change the Pyramides for clear desert or Alexandria (if it is aviable).

Thanks everyone for the compliments, and for the balloon Andronikos!

No Alexandria custom battle map which is what I'm using, otherwise I agree Alexandria would be better for the Ptolies than the pyramids... They do make a good background though, and there's only so much you can with a phalanx to make it look neat (I've run out of ideas, still got Epeiros and Baktria to go), so open desert just makes it that much harder!

More to come soon.

Nice shot as well Pobs, how did that battle turn out?

Battle for Bibracte, a terrible loss for the Sweboz. Note to players, DO NOT try to assault city gates guarded by Solduros and Bataroas EVER, with ANYTHING. I had a full army of Sweboz gold chevron bad asses (a variety from Duguntiz to whatever the Germanic heavy swordsmen are called), mercenary german heavies, and wargozez (the wolf pelt wearing wild axemen)... only the Wargozez accomplished anything at all, their axes being the only weapon that could possibly punch through the Solduros' armor and shields from the front. After losing half my army (the gallic cavalry kept charging in and out as well) and one FM, I finally just selected the rest of my units and hit withdraw!

Then I came back a few years later again, and the idiots ran out of the town to meet my army in the field instead- I massacred em ;)

Use either Traikioi Rhomphaiaphoroi (Elite Thracian Infantry), Kluddargos (Casse Sword Masters), or Sreni Pattya Yoddaha (Indian Guild Warriors). Drapanai and axemen will do the job as well, but at severe cost.

In this campaign they love to recruit principes and pedites extraordinarii like crazy, with a few hastati and triarii thrown in. I'm using Lz3's Alex pack along with several other mods I've added and the AI seems much better about building scary armies. It's around 150bc and the Arverni are pumping out hordes of solduros as well.
