Hello everyone,
First a word from Wes, about the subject:
Quote[/b] ]There is a lot of graphics work that needs to be done, if any of you want to
get into that. If you do, I would suggest that one of you start a thread in
the Lab to discuss what needs to be done and which factions need it. All the
new ones, obviously, but I have had complaints about some of the existing
factions, too, like the Byzantines. I myself don't know which existing
factions need work and which don't.
This version will have to be set up like the Viking Campaign, since it has a
new strategic map. I thought that I had a list of all the folders that will
need graphics for the new factions. However, when I was doing the loc work,
I ran a search for the word "Viking" in the MTW and all sub-folders, and
found about a half-dozen more that I feel sure will have to be included. For
the beta, we can use copies of existing graphics as placeholders, but
original ones will need to be made one day. I think there are some recent
threads which discuss this topic.
From what I could tell, most all of these are simply copies of the same
image, just in different sizes and shapes, so if you guys want to discuss
and settle upon flags for all the factions, that would probably be a good
thing to do, while I try and get to feeling better
So here it is, a thread for flags and other faction-specific graphics this Mod needs. As the map is pretty much already divided among those few people, I believe everyone would take care of the factions in his area. But if somebody is not feeling good about researching and making those images, I recommend to post here, so others can do it instead.
Kiev
As for 'my' area (basically eastern and central Europe), I have already made all flags/shields, etc. for Kiev. I'll post images here later (probably tomorrow).
Lithuania
If anyone could tell me whether if is better to use 'The Towers of Gediminas' or 'Vytis' as Lithuanian symbol, I'd appreciate it. The problem is that 'Vytis' was used only since about the second part of 14th c. until nowadays, while 'The Towers of Gediminas' were in use earlier. I'd appreciate comment on this. (I'll post images showing both flags later on.)
Novgorod
The reading I did on Novgorod's flag made me wonder if their original symbol in game is a proper one. If some Russian members (or any others) could help, it'd be great. I'll post what I've found out later.
Golden Horde
I think their flag is ok, but if anyone had any other information regarding this, feel free to post it here.
Poland
No need to change Polish flags/symbols.
Cumans
Need to be done.
Russia
I believe the original images are fine.
Teutonic Order
Need to be done.
Baltic Tribes
Need to be done.
Any sensible suggestions will be welcomed.
I hope for other people working on the Mod, to post about 'their' factions' graphics in this thread.
Regards,
EC
