Revisiting an old project
-
@Hepps You can easily test it this way: take "World At War" and set the "Unit Size" at 100%. Then look at the Infantry and the Tank in East Prussia. Then keep selecting and deselecting "Show Units". You will have a 50% probabylity of the Infantry appearing "in front" of the Tank and a 50% probability of the Tank appearing being in place of the head of the Infantry.
-
@Hepps To be clear, what I meant was not that the matter was unimportant, but that I have the (maybe wrong) perception that I think chances are that we can talk about such things a lot but nobody able to do stuff is interested (but all good). If you want, probably we should move this to a specific feature request. My main advice was to totally forget about it for this project (as I assume you will finish it in a few days), and just accept to have a short "sarissa", not to delay it waiting for something that I doubt is going to happen.

Insomnia pays dividends once more.
Put in a few of the old ones just to see the difference.

@Hepps Nice, but I think I would expect either the warelephant to have some more shadow at its feet or the hoplite to have less, relatively. Let us know what the new images are representing or are inspired to, like the hoplite here.
On the hoplite of Macedonia and Seleucid I think they should be similar (not sure), both representing the main guy of the phalanx (not a Greek hoplite), as said. -
@Hepps Aren't you supposed to be working on GD? New units look much nicer and makes you realize how terrible the existing ones are

If you upload here the full set, once you finish (like in a zipped units folder), I will update the 270BC Variants (if you want, I can also push the changes for 270BC). I guess you will be done with this in a couple days.
-
I'll flip, or something, the images to have the flags all on the left for the 270BC Variants; what to accept for 270BC is up to @redrum and whoever other repository admins, of course.
I also prefer all the guys holding the weapon with their right hand (tho in a map I'm making a lot don't), but I'm less strong on this than the above. -
@Cernel If you like Cernel, you can just do all the units. I'll find something else to be distracted with.
-
@redrum I am supposed to be... but I'm going through a bit of a burn-out period. Just wanted to do some stuff unrelated to GD.
-
@Hepps Hehe. I know that feeling. It actually helps to do something totally different for a while, and then one can return to the old work with a fresh mind
I get a "burn out" when having to do all the tedious stuff, like placements and and moving around PU location. It's so boring that I can literally fall asleep in front of the screen.

@Frostion
Funny, I actually feel asleep this afternoon setting PU values -

It's no problem for me to stop talking in this thread, if you find me too assertive or anyway annoying; you just have to ask.
Good luck with this project. I'll then wait for the final result and consider if to use it for 270BC Variants or not (I'm quite sure I will, maybe with a very few changes). -
As an added bonus....

@prastle Well a formal battleship seemed even more out of place than a long boat.
-
Started on the nations boats. They will all have accent colours and flags on the mast that match the national colour as well as the national symbol on the main sail.
-
Got all of the boats done for all nations. Changed the design for the Trireme to an entirely new image.
-
@Hepps Nice!
-
I also added the national colour to the sails of the Trireme of each nation to distinguish the 2 boats from one another as well as the boats of each nation.
Numibia done (except the City).
-
Impressive work! I will surely play some 270 BC when this upgrading is done
I like the boats. But I don't fancy the pink sails. How about not painting the sails, instead just give them the logos, the coloured flags and coloured hull stripes? I don't think the units will be that hard to distinguish.
