Excellent work on the unit cards. However I suggest you get rid of the prickly pears (like the one in the Maure infantry picture) and other cacti, because those are American in origin and were introduced after 1492 AD. In their place, one could use succulents of the Euphorbiaceae group, which fill the ecological niche of cacti in the Old World.

Found out afterwards, thus for the moment they will be left as be and the cacti will not be used for future african units.
Keep in mind that there are 188 units for the first release, a render of that sort takes around 1-3 hours to make.
Now multiply with the number of units and see how many man hours does it take...

They do look rather awesome.
Well, if you or the rest of the team have any questions on neobiota or generally flora and fauna, you can always ask me.

Glad you like'em.

So I presume that means your work is related to that?

Not exactly, but I used to study that and it's still a private field of interest.

For the next sneak peek we would like to give the chance to everyone to choose what to preview.
Such as a specific faction vs faction battle, region shots of the campaign map and so on.
