R.I.P. - a few cool nomadic things

**Teleklos Archelaou** · 11-11-2006, 03:26

Just thought that since these have never seen the public light of day I'd post them. Shifty was working on nomadic buildings for us for the battlefield, and while a few of the gers were submitted, some of his coolest stuff was not turned in yet, when disaster struck and he lost everything on his hard drive. This was a few months ago, and he lost a number of new things and never got back in the swing of it all, but I thought I'd post them here to let you see what is left of them.

Wind barriers: these were going to be like 'fences' in nomad camps basically. Fabric or skins stretched out to serve as a windbreak next to the camps on the steppe.

Bard's Tent, level one: a simple ger, but with some flags and a little platform for the bard to sit or stand on to woo the crowd.

Ger with Leather top flap: Just a different type, with a leather flap across the top opening.

Ger with smoke: This one had animated smoke coming out of the hole in the top.

Camp fire: For general use. Animated.

Specialist Ger tent: Decorated.

Nomadic gamefield: Quite cool. Was working on paths that go down from it and into the arena.

I believe all of this was lost. Thanks anyway shifty! We've still got the yurtville gers we were incorporating, and the oasis.

Anyone interested in making ancient buildings of any type would not only be a very popular guy around here, but especially so in MTW2.

I suppose that max program would be necessary, and PS probably too. Just a thought...

It's OK, we Magratheans believe in re-incarnation.

what a pity for all that good work, im still focousing my interest on RTW, dont like very much that dark gothic atmosphere of M2TW, anyway if all the work will be implemented on the m2tw engines it will be great... hope there are some talented guys to implement that buildings...

BTW, i was thinking, what about all the ancient style building to implement in m2tw? for example the temples, the barracks, the palaces etc... i think this will be the harder and longest work to do, cant imagine who is that good soul who will do it...

well i woulda thought EB2 would be just like EB except with more shiny stuff and better shaders (atmosphere wise i meen theres plenty of extra factions etc). So i dont think you can even compare m2tw to EB2 in anything but graphics.
