Gaul war

[TheBluePhoenix]

Hello guys. I want to make a historical map of the famous gaul war that pestured the roman empire.
I will maje the complete skirmish map but will need a few things:
Images of asterix obelix getafix (anybody not having an idea of who they were , try to read the comics based on them )and julius caeser
The authenticity of this war. If not authentic i will ask dev to make it a fan map
Anyone willing to help in any way is welcomed

[HokanPL]

So it would be HISTORICAL campaign or based on comics with Asterix adventures?

You know, these guys aren't historical heroes

[TheBluePhoenix]

Thats qhy i asked about their authenticity

[TheBluePhoenix]

But yes i surely want to make a map on them actual or imaginary . If not historical then in the fan section

Hi
First try of Asterix.
Ist like a alpha version.

Should i continue? ?
Patroid

[TheBluePhoenix]

Quite nice and resembles asterix. But it is quite unclear and lacks your shading skills. Try to sharp it a bit so that i can make out his face and features.
Thanks

[patroid]

Hi
Whould i only reshade ( like i the image down here)
Or is he too small.... or anything wrong??


Patroid

[TheBluePhoenix]

Actually i am just unable to see his face . Sharpen his facial features a bit. He is asterix, so he has to be small. Also i would like to see two small daggers in his hands both like actual ones not blue like you have made now. Kinda looks unreal

[Stratego (dev)]

welcome any such map! i suggest call it Asterix and Obelix or something.

[TheBluePhoenix]

Thanks dev. Now its upto patroid how fast images he makes
I also request others to help me out with the other two images so that they can be implemented and i can start my work

[Alexander82]

Something like, "Asterix and Obelix conquer Rome" xD

[TheBluePhoenix]

Hey alex can you help me out with obelix?

[Alexander82]

Ok, but i thought patroid was going to do it

[TheBluePhoenix]

He is making asterix. The more the better. The work will be over sooner

[TheBluePhoenix]

Patroid have you completed asterix?
i can give you a reference image if you need

[Alexander82]

I've made this obelix

[Alexander82]

Made one with a rock

[TheBluePhoenix]

Loved it. Just make his hands sharp a bit and shade him so that he becomes more clear
I liked the one without a menhir more

[Alexander82]

hands? he has hands behind his back

[TheBluePhoenix]

Yes but i cant make out when the hand starts(the other one completely hidden behind him)

[Alexander82]

this is the image i used
http://images.gofreedownload.net/obelix-98202.jpg

the hands is not even visible

[TheBluePhoenix]

Ok then.try to shade a bit. I will ask dev to implement it
Thanks

[Alexander82]

here, reshaded

[Stratego (dev)]

very nice!
but dont forget: all unit icons need to have similar appearance as other units, so we need him to seem not so "cartoonish". (with shading and such things)

also suggestion: obelix is huge as i know - so he can exceed 32px height.

[TheBluePhoenix]

Ok so he can be about as large as the berseker + equally fat. And i dont think we have any unit on which we can make obelix.
Also i was thinking to make a white scout dog his companion dog dogmatix which will also have a large bonus on roman units

[Alexander82]

Ok, does it need team color?
How tall should i make it?

[Alexander82]

This is 32x50

[Stratego (dev)]

have u used scaling?

[Alexander82]

At the start i did, but later on i edited the image manually to adjust the lines and shades

[Stratego (dev)]

i mean in this last attempt to enlarge from 32px to 50px
