It's suppose to be the shading/specularity. :p




Oh and I modded MKJ african template a bit, it might need some tweaking though...

Yeah that's what I was talking about! It reassures me that you know about it :)
But what is shading/specularity ? :confused:

Btw the african shield looks great too!
 
This looks amazing. I might have to test this out!

Looks great BJ, nice work! :)

Thanks, didn't do much to your template though, just changed the size of the shields :)

Looks cool like this, but how will they look ingame? :)

Take a guess... ;)



...or wait until I post a screenie :p


Does anyone has any suggestions what to use for pagans?
 
Hmm... I didn't manage to find out how to subscribe to this thread without posting a reply, so... :eek:o

While I'm at it, I must once again say that this is a good piece of work. I can't wait until I can afford a new computer (I smashed my last one to pieces in anger :D )! Then I'll try this out right away!

Keep up the good work, Birger! :)
 
For pagans, something very natural and simple, maybe something like a tree. Sounds dumb but most pagans were/are animists of one sense or another.

Btw, I don't mean to sound incredibly dumb - but when it comes to stuff like this, I am... How does one get a shield from the d/l'ed bit for use here on the fora? I so want to steal that uber-sexy Novgorod one, but wouldn't know where to begin to take it from the game. :confused:

I noticed that Mali and Songhai is muslim, should they use the muslim styled shield instead, or what do you guys think? :)

Indeed I did. Looks good. :)

Heh you didn't think of that untill now? :D

Well I think they should use the african ones - only the North African nations should use muslim shields imo.

I guess you want both of these. :)

Very cool, but future reference, how would I take it from the downloadable.

Thanks, and if i'm being a pest, just tell me to bugger off. :)

You need a graphic program to do that, Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro.

You can get the later here, http://www.download.com/3000-2192-10001995.html

Nah, you're not being a pest, no need to bugger off. :)

Someone suggested a buffalo hide for pagans - I think that might be cool - laid out flat you know - like the shape of a bearskin rug or similar.

That sounds like a possible place to begin Imho too..
(subscribes thread to be able to d/l once it is about 75% complete or more :p)
edit: looking good :)
 
The pagan nations are, what, native Americans, Central/South American empires, African nations?... I'd keep the style by region rather than religion, so African pagans and muslims would use the same template, Navaho and co. another, and Inca/Aztec and co. a third.

Here's an example of what Dakota, Navaho, Creek could look like:

Sweeeeeeeet! :cool: :cool:

Any suggestions for the Mayas, Incas, Aztecs etc? ;)
