    Some sort of greek helmet? I don't know enough about arms and armour to be specific enough.

    A pseudo-corinthian helmet. It would probably be worn by an upper class greek, roman or possibly phoinician. Now the cute little pony is one of those unsolved historical mysteries..
    Πόλεμος πάντων μέν πατήρ εστι, πάντων δέ βασιλεύς
    καί τούς μέν θεούς έδειξε, τούς δέ ανθρώπους
    τούς μέν δούλους εποίησε, τούς δέ ελευθέρους.

    And Blxz was saved by Noble Wrath.

    Indeed a pseudo-corinthian is the correct and now to your prize Noble Wrath, some eye candy and explanantions related to the workflow.

    The historians gathered some pictures from various sources, such as coins, for some of the type of helmets used in Eb2, in this case:

    However this isn't too useful for a 3d artist and hard to use so a concept artist will draw some detailed blueprints based on these. In this case, Gleemonex, a former member and great artist who sadly dissappeared:


    Finally based on this, and thanks to Gleemonex for the decoration in the concept, the model and textures are created:

    And finally we have a low and can also have high poly version of the given helmet.

    I hope you enjoyed this sneak peak and have a better understanding of how our workflow is in some cases.

    This is some eye candy! Thanks sir, the work of the team (and yours in this case) is always a marvel to behold.
    I get the feeling that the horse drawing resembles a dragon. Could it be a symbol from the colonies of the Black Sea? Perhaps a case of syncretism, an influence from the dragon standards of the iranian nomads? Or I may be talking nonsense :-)

    I was just about to point out the dragon as an interesting helmet decoration but NW has kindly done so already. I'm not sure, I've never really seen that sort of dragon design. I'd be interested to know it's influence and where it's from, either now (if Tux et al. feel generous) or at the next preview (whenever that may be).

    EDIT: Also Tux, Face database? What are we looking for?
    We love you because you died and resurrected to save us...

    Humm, sadly I can't answer that as I've forgotten the discussion about the concept of the helmet but for me it resembles a sea horse and not a dragon.
    Someone else will have to pop up with an answer on it's origin.

    What's with the face database? Do you mean what kind of faces we are looking for?

    it said that is for Pergamese FM. Whats that? I wonder why you dont use the same realistic hairs and plumes for the rest of the units as well like the roman ones.
