@ad those are nice daggers. Could I suggest you consider adding a Kriss (wavy bladed dagger) as I think it is also arabian in origin and you seem to be ahead of the game already ().

I wanted to make a malaysian keris (kriss) for a previous challenge. I already have some textures, but didn't get to make the weapon yet.

               Zwerk, have you thought about touching your Arabian City tileset for this challenge?

Yes, I'm working on a building terrain and if I got the time I'll also add a palace and palace-like buildings.

               Any chance for a classic evil arabian sorceror/vizier head? Like the ones you always had in those 1960 arabian nights movies?

               @Zwerkules: Could you consider to add water and arabian ships to your tileset?

There is an old HAK "Caravels" by Some Ux which ships could work well for Arabian ships especially with a little retexture or some additions.


@Kendaric Varkellen: Could you provide a picture of the vizier you are looking for?

Don't have a picture sadly, but think of "Jafar" in Disney's Aladdin to get an idea of what I'm looking for.

               In lieu of a picture from Kendaric, perhaps something akin to Tom Baker from The Golden Voyage of Sinbad?

Edit:
This site has many more images; maybe one of the aged, gray-bearded versions would be better.

               That guy would work extremely well, yes.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Shemsu-Heru]

               What about Christopher Lee in "Arabian adventure" 1979.


               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Fester Pot]

               A few more ideas -

A placeable genie lamp of various sizes and colors.
See through silk female tops with jiggly-mesh breasts of various sizes and colors.
Placeable camels in the sitting position.
Footprints in the sand.
Placeable dye of various colors.
Placeable palm trees of various sizes.
Market stalls with bright colored tarps and designs.
A flat rooftop tileset showing streets below (how the DLA rural does sea-side cliffs).
Unique fountains.
Hanging colorful cloth on lines with mesh that shifts on the breeze.
A shoe as a weapon you can throw.

FP!

Christopher Lee would work great as well. Especially with that headdress '> (The headdress would also make a nice cloak model, even though it won't fit on every character without clipping)

               Better skeletons (from Titan Quest), skinmeshed from scratch and with custom appear/disappear animations in the style of Ray Harryhausen's skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts.  I punched up the speed as I didn't feel they were surprising enough if they were slower.

Very much a WIP.  The animations may not get better than this, unfortunately.  To get these where I wanted them I had to do something Badâ„¢ to my animations and I'm not sure if I can add to them passed where they are now.  I had 40 frames to play with but I wanted them to be a little more surprising when they appear so they probably only use a little over half of that.

Did somoene already do this pop-up-from-the-ground appear animation for skeletons?  I keep thinking I've seen this before, but I may not be thinking of NWN.

I hope it's not too far off the "Arabian Nights" theme.  When I think of Arabian Nights I immediately think of Ray Harryhausen's brilliant stop-motion animation work and all the Sinbad movies I watched as a kid.
