               That last one is particularly sweet.  Didn't they use the scooped out bits to poke the spear through and stab people?

               Those shields look great! The only one I don't like as much as the others is the second one because it looks too 'clean'. I mean, it looks brand new and unused. The others look as if the have been used already. The one I like the most is the penultimate one because it looks as if it has been used in battle a lot.

               A winged pegasus that players could use/fly would be awesome and right up there with the Greeks....

*laughs*  You have been talking with the Rome/Greece DM haven't you?  '>  I actually have a pegusus model, but much to her dismay, it is not rideable/flyable.  I'd be glad to post the model if anyone wants to breathe some life into it.

               @Mistress

Yes, I believe so.



@Zwerkules

You're right, I'll work a bit on this texture.





And one that I couldn't forget... '>

               Not quite sure why, but I'm in an egyptian type of mood today.  Go figure!  I'm searching through wiki commons for 1 or 2 nice images to make loadscreens out of.  So hopefully one of the Sphinx with a pyramid in the background.  As well as one of the statues at Abu Simbel.  I'll also be making a couple for Rafhot's South American theme.  Any other themes y'all would want to see?



Looking over the Roman/Greek ones I posted earlier, I'm leaning towards just including the following (cause yeah... made way too many for this!)  Unless there are other ones y'all would rather keep?

1-2: generic, intact columns.

2-1: garden scene from Pompeii

2-3: Trevi fountain



Here are a couple images/suggestions of *chuckles* "commoner" egyptians for those that can do clothing.  The male and female robes in this one:





The male head/hat thing in this one:

Done with the Greek shields.

Wow, looking great! My personal favorite is the fourth one but the one pointed out by Mistress is awesome, too.

Your contribution is refreshing and much appreciated *especially* if everybody is mainly looking for more Greek and Roman things. It's always cool to have people thinking 'out of the box' and going against the stream. Your server project sounds very interesting, too. I'm currently learning Brasilian Portuguese for fun and wouldn't mind checking the PW out once it's running. Boa sorte!

               Notice how she is teasing us with what the 2nd shield may look like?  *winks*



Here is what I came up with for Egypt.

1-1. Photograph by Rémih - Statue of Ramses II, Luxor Temple Egypt

1-2. Photograph by Than217 - Khafre's Pyramid and the Great Sphinx

1-3. Photograph by MatthiasKabel – Little temple of Abu Simble

               I nearly finished the first roman building.


The shops look a bit like garages when they are empty. There'll be one version of the tile where the shops will be left empty so builders can place what they want there. Another version will have a few things placed in the shops.
In those two versions the shops will be walkable but the balcony won't. I sooo wish it was possible to have walkable terrain at two different hights, but sadly it's not.
There will be a third version of this tile with the balcony walkable. That means everything under the balcony won't be walkable, so I will place counters and wares and the like on the sidewalk under the balcony and fill the shops with wares so it becomes obvious that you can't walk there.

               Zwerk, looking at the Roman building its really remarkable how little European architecture has changed. That building would look equally at home in Ancient Rome or a WWII Town.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Zwerkules]

               This model is very close to a reconstruction of a house in Ostia. And you are right, I guess you could find a house like this in say Sorrento even nowadays. The other side has pillars which look a bit more like ancient rome. I made two sides of this building visible instead of just the front like it is done in the Bioware city tileset because I don't want the tiles with building terrain in all for corners be just roofs.

The buildings would become far too big then. Instead they have a kind of atrium on the other side and the tiles with building terrain on all four sides will be garden tiles with ponds and fountains, etc.

               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Pstemarie]

               Yeah, I've always tried to avoid using that roof-line tile when building with the Bioware city tileset. I wouldn't mind seeing that tile expand into a tileset in its own right - or maybe as an addition to another project. '>

               I have a sudden urge to become a shop keeper and live above my store.  *grins at Z*

               I have a suggestion for a CC event... there are not a lot of helms that our players like, so most resort to using a hood. Would be nice to see new helms made in an attractive fantasy style.
