Structures (factories)

I stole a European castle on aoe and resized + a TON of changes

Do you just take the reference from AOE or just really copied and change some things in it. I think we may have a problem with the copyrights with just a resize of it.

Yes, you need to change something. Because if guys from age of alerts have problems with copyrights, we also might have them...

Hmm i used Pc with windows 7, 3 different phones, 1 iPad.
And i think this site is pretty universal... Easy to log in...

[Badnorth]

Im done working on the Castle but cannot be sent.

@Stratego (dev) What is the file size limit ? The castle imade is 22Kb.

[Stratego (dev)]

i have increased to 25 (it was 20)

[Badnorth]

Thanks stratego

Okay...European Castle.

Not sure, looks a bit grainy? Maybe reduce the amount of different shades of grey used, and use black outlines for more things to make them more clear, we don't need to see every brick.

What I mean is your new additions, the cannons, are very visible, while the tops of the towers and walls have no outlines, would look weird compared to the aesthetic of AO games. Look at some of DreJaDe's buildings, they look much 'cleaner'.

[DreJaDe]

Seeing squirels comment above made me not want to send this because I kinda recolor the outline

Here is the British fort again

I tried to change some things. I don't know if it's better or not because when I compare them, I think they both look good to me. LOL maybe my bias

[L4cus]

What the materials are supoossed to be?

[Squirrel5555]

The fort looks good, the outline doesnt need to be dark as long as all the features are clearly visible, like on your image.
Making the outline darker is one way of making things more clear, with probably the least amount of work, so I suggested maybe Quadrupole could try that.

On the leftmost tower of the fort, is one of the tower walls missing? Or is it meant like that? Other than that looks great

Also we need like 16 images, one of each stage of the mega buildings being built, however I that takes an absurd amount of work, I did the monastery in AOS so we can leave it for later I guess

Also like 4 images of regular buildings being built

[L4cus]

The yard on the center should have its own color

I don't know but in the reference, it's like that

[DreJaDe]

Well, theres no hurt to changing that.

[Squirrel5555]

oh ok I found your reference picture, guess it is okay without the wall then. Tracing it really does make accurate pictures haha, how do you layer the image behind your canvas? Do you use gimp? This seems really good for buildings

[DreJaDe]

Actually for buildings, i dont trace.

For boxy buildings I just use the 2 pixel like this then make vertical lines to add length.

For circular. It's more on the perspective.

[Badnorth]

Yeah jade is an awesome Painter.

[Badnorth]

In aod I think jade & squirrel is best painter.

In the Aof imo- Savra is the Best I can't even compare myself to him

Anyways

What progress is AoD at ?
I think we are getting beta ver earlier than usual.

[L4cus]

Max asked for the stats to make the jsons. I posted them at generic units topic.
I hope he see them
