BTW, I'm currently trying to fill those gaps; so, has someone been able to find good photos/drawings for those new submarines, though? Thus far I've only managed to get an image for GER Heavy sub I (Type XIV). I'd like to do the same at least for the other majors' heavy subs (tier I and II, of course).
Take a look (save it and open it with your favorite photo manager, it will look way better):

You might want to check out Cpacks thread over at Stony Road. At one point he produced a 'specials' pack (for HSR I think) and I remember that one of the inclusions there was a 'cruiser' submarine.
Thank you very much, Epaminondas, I'll look for it. BTW, are you the same guy from Stony Road?
I'm the same Epaminondas from Stony Road, yes. It's still a damn good site, isn't it.
I actually have Cpack's specials on file somewhere but I wouldn't feel right about passing them on without his permission. If you have trouble finding them let me know and I'll try to contact him. And I have to say, you're doing a marvellous job - AoD is a potentially great system but the graphic enhancements just make it so much nicer to play.

Ah, so my guess was right
. Another fellow user from good ol' Stony Road .As for the icons, I fully understand - I too would like that someone asks me authorization to use my work, although sometimes I too do use little bits of other modders work for my graphics. See that icon - sub has been drawed by me, but the Kriegsmarine flag comes, I think, from Cpack or maybe Terp or MajorChico. Sometimes I can't even recall who is the original author of some stuff. Anyway, the rule is to never claim you've done 100% by yourself something that you in fact haven't.
Thanks for the feedback on my work - by the way, which material are you referring to, exactly? And, as a side note, I fully agree on that:

Here is the Skif icon download site in case anyone is wondering where they are. This took me a lot of searching to find so hopefully this saves people messing around on google. There is a list of stuff but I think the download on the bottom which is a 20mb Eng install pack is the one to get.

Okay I just installed the Skif icons. You just install the 20mb Eng file to your AoD folder and they work fine in game. Gotta say though, dang they lookin pretty good!! Whoever made these icons should get the noble peace prize. They make the game look about 200 billion times better.

And guys. Imagine some of these soviet icons combined with the new cold war tech tree
I like the fact that you're making a bunch of small changes which all contribute to the overall 'feel' of the game. The structure icons are a good example I know the icons themselves already existed elsewhere, but someone first had to have the wit to see their application here and then had to actually do the work. A small change but a good payoff.
I especially admire, though, the work you're trying to do with the clock. People like bestmajor have sunk an awful lot of work into creating those great new leader and minister images (and now in colour!) and I think it's a real shame to have them masked by the clock. The fact that it's turned out to be not at all that easy to move the thing makes your efforts even more worthwhile.
Thanks a lot - very good images, they will be of great use for the SKIF team. However, as you've seen, I take on a less "artistic" approach and my icons are more of a "practical" kind. I'd actually need heavy sub silhouettes, i.e., seen from the side. Could you lend a hand? I'd really appreciate. You'd need to find some for US V-Boats and Japanese I-400 class. That would be just enough for now, rest will follow...
This kind of feedback gives me even more will to further improve all those graphical facets of the game you too seem to appreciate
. Thank you very much, mate!
Sir, the first picture shows the USS V-boat "Argonaut". The second one a Japaneese I-400 class. Tell me if they are ok, and/or if u need more.
The graphics look awesome. If I install it now will they appear ok in my current save game? or will I have to start again?
