Factional Capitals of the EB II time frame

**Leon the Batavian** · 03-31-2011, 13:54

Beautiful topic and nice pictures. I always wonder does the EB team get support from other mod teams or borrow things from others to make these things possible ? EB II is going to be so huge and detailed especially with accurate Cities like these. Is this really possible? I feel the urge to help out with small stuff. Reading and gathering info. or simple modeling / skinning. Only at this moment my hands are tied by personal matters. (someone dear almost died in my arms last week by a Arterial bleeding due to a badly done operation) I need to look after her.

All and all great stuff going on.

Great links WinsingtonIII ;) I just skimmed over them and it looks like one could dedicate a great portion of time to making even a single settlement.

The problem is that you can make either unique custom tiles or generic upgradeable settlements. Because of that, you can not have a unique settlement which defences (and size) are upgradeable. It's one or the other.

To use DotS as an example: you can make Constantinople a unique settlement since it's defences did not change that much during the late Middle Ages, but places like London or Paris did change a lot (so they have to use generic settlement upgrades).

I don't think DotS are doing actual settlements yet, as far as i know they are working on custom tiles for their PSF's and other important parts of the map.
