but that wasn't comparable by inside a museum for some days, silently photo-ed all those artifacts, armours and weaponaries...

[Jerat]

I am really looking forward to this mod. I prefer the asian setting over the european of EB, so it would be pretty cool to have a bigger map which focuses on that area. Please bring this to an end!

Is that an offer for help, Jerat?
The problem is that we don't have enough people. Anything can be helpful. I believe that with a few dedicated modelers and skinners we can bring it to a conclusion within notime

[Jerat]

Well, If I would know something about modding or skinning etc. I could help. The only thing I am able do at the moment would be doing some historical research. To help you with the technical side, I would have to learn to mod the game, which I could try in august or september perhaps, I dont have time at the moment.

When I started out a year ago I didn't know anything about skinning either, I just volunteered, opened up some vanilla skins, retextured it and learned that way. After that I just reskinned EB skins following the instructions which were given to me and it just worked.

We can do a decent release if we can finish AOR and reform coding, and finish about 30 or so more unit skins and models.

It would be a good idea to aim for a partial release: it generates more interests and helps keep the team motivated. In his guide to modding-projects, Dol Guldur mentions lack of releases as one of main reasons why mods fail.

[LDC]

Yes please I want release! What factions are already done?

[Skullheadhq]

I'm finishing up some Hellenistic skins, and I'm not going to tell which one...

[anubis88]

Pezhetaeroi Pergamonoi

[Skullheadhq]

Pezhetaeroi Pergamonoi

Nope, but close.
Here from a different POV:

[Iain.]

Are they Pergamene Phalangitai Dueteroi?

[Skullheadhq]

Are they Pergamene Phalangitai Dueteroi?

No, no and no, you're getting colder compared to anubis, he had 50% correct.

Hint: look at the colour of the clothes

[anubis88]

Which means they are definetly Pezhetaeroi, but not Pergamenese :)

Cyrenian?

I'm actually working on the Cyrenian one right now, but this one is not Cyrenian.

[MButcher]

Pontic Pezhetairoi.

[Skullheadhq]

Pontic Pezhetairoi.

You win the prize, here is it:




Edits so far: The quality of the shield decreased with 70% thanks to the save, that has been restored, it should look way sharper now and the white edge has been fixed making it look deeper and the sword shaft is now white to match with the rest and some non-visible (on this screen) cloth areas have been made white.

[MButcher]

They look amazing, as usual. I'm more excited about this project than EB2. ^_^

Shhh, don't say that out loud ;)

[LDC]

So when the beta is out?

[Skullheadhq]

So when the beta is out?

When we have more volonteers? One or two skinners more and we'll have the beta out in notime really, I believe the map is almost finished. An early beta would need just 30 more skins or so.

Anyway, meet the Nabatu Thorakitai:

Any suggested adjustments? I already made the shield a little brighter.

We also need some 2d artist, I'm not really good in it, but this is one for Maurya I tried:

We still need symbols for factions like Pergamon, Bosporan Kingdom, Cyrene etc. etc.

[anubis88]

We are so gonna use your Nabatu Thorakitai :D

[Finn MacCumhail]

And where is Gamegeek, I'm running out of skins.

Anyway, next skins: 3 elite catas for Pontos, Hayasdan and Atropatene, you know you want them

[Olaf The Great]

Pontos looks like it's really into Lovecraftian stuff, eh?

[Finn MacCumhail]
