The Future Image For This Forum

**Kongamato** · 07-20-2002, 10:26

Hi. I am wondering if this forum (the MTW forum) will choose to change it's whole image and theme with the onset of MTW. "Sword Dojo", along with the rankings of Ashigaru and Kensai, all maintain an STW-based theme. I know that it would be a lot of work, but have you given any thought to renaming it and converting the rankings to a Medieval theme?

It would be fun to rise to Templar or Longbowman. Of course, there might be too many units to use. Perhaps the ranking could be randomly chosen from a bunch of different units at each rank.

Whatever, I was just wondering. :-)

geat idea!
Brillaint! but the problem comes with the release of medieval total war, i think Kuma, tera and the rest will have far too much work on there hands, it will also involve probably re registering and a time when nobody can postr which will make pople angry because eevry1 will be buzzing to post about medieval.

Good ideas guys, keep up the good work

How about a maps of Europe as the forum image......

**Kongamato** · 07-21-2002, 01:48

Obviously the .org staff is in no position to change things in that way right now. But you must also remember that the Avatars for STW are colorful renderings, while the MTW unit descriptions might be just black/amber Medieval parchment drawings that might not look good as an avatar. 100 units might be too much to render. I dunno, maybe they made enough renderings already. I wouldnt mind 'Mangonel' status.

it will happen when there is enough time

Current inside info at ORG:

Tera is currently trying to turn some text into html for the upcoming M:TW. Hopefully he will be finished just for the release. So until then nothing at the ORG will happen unless Kuma has the time for it. But currently we are not worried about updating the ORG style straight away, but more checking if anyone has any brilliant ideas on how to do it.

How do I know this you ask? Muahaha I..oh nuts i forgot

Facelifts can only be done when there is a large collection of MTW graphics to choose from, and at the moment there isn't much apart from the images used on all different sites of the community...

Thanks for the replies! I like the idea of a medieval facelift. Must reach 'Siege Cannon' level...

What about in the Demo Tera? I haven't looked yet (just about to) but surely there are some things to use? Or atleast can be adapted?

Those flags might look good as icon's for each player - and the unit icons themselves.....

Also there are some little pics of men when you read the english campaign preview/brief at IGN.com or at the .com site.

Those would b pretty cool. But yeah we can't really have a buddhist temple in medieval europe for our image in top left can we!

Why not? Its some of it is pretty close to India and I'm sure there may have been a influence before Islam.

We can wait for MTW for proper icons but we can make some temporary ones now.

No ,I dont know, since I never received the email Tera promised to send in reply to the can I help The Org out, among the offers was the I'll fix up the download section, and I never received a response from you to the 2 emails I sent you (email adress on the front page of the Org) nor did I receive any reply to the application form I filled in on the Org, jobs section.

Guess people who offer their assistence aren't apreciated around here...

..."oh I'm sorry"...

btw. forgot the

after my last line to make it a bit of a humerous statement.Tis been more than a week but I care not.

and don't say cool it ,for I might be offended and leave the Org, instead could you say something like : Mithrandir, dear friend of mine, could you please choose your words a bit more careful in future posts, it would mean a lot to me, I hope I didn't ofend you by this post and I hope to see more posts of you. That would sound a lot more nice!

Mithrandir, dear friend of mine, slayer of orcs, champion of middle-earth, fellow kensai, could you please choose your words a bit more careful in future posts, it would mean a lot to me, I hope I didn't offend you by this post and I hope to see more posts of yours in the future.

I have not received any E-Mail from you Mith here is the correct E-Mail: SirKumaOfTheORg@hotmail.com

You we're probably using loup13@videotron.ca but it doesn't work anymore (changed internet provider)

And you are right at first , i did reply to offers of help directly but when more and more of them kept coming in, i had to rethink my strategy.

Check the new main message in the forum announcement system and the Org main page.

And this is especially for you : *Big bear hug*

Patience...I am a bit short on time right now

And in the defense of Tera (well sort off)

He has not even replied to my E-Mail
