I don't get you sometimes - that looks like it reduced just fine.

It's ;b;, BTW.

Oh? Okay then. It just seemed a bit washed out ingame.

So two of those leaders are other people's work, I take it?

The volt guy, yeah. Somebody sent an edit to me and I used it for this :) Never released it though.

The other one is just using a placeholder anyway. I'd need to redraw him eventually.

At any rate, I guessed you guys weren't that interested in the pokemon side of this anyway heh. But the cities and logo chat is something you guys might be interested in hearing so :)

To get to the point I was trying to make, I think I might need to increase the contrast a bit. It just seems like a splat to me hehe

Well, I totally noticed the pink pixels on the front bottom edge of the new castles/land bases, and that looks awful in the file format, but of course I know they'd be shadow and look great in the game - there's no substitute for playtesting some things.

You got it :) I'll have another crack this week sometime.

Does this look about right for a water line?

For the water version of the city. Under the blue line = underwater, therefore partially visible. Would be supports and such. I'd replace the path with a jetty.

The outline you drew might, repeat, might, need to dip in more sharply on the right side of the foreground tower - otherwise, no quibbles.  I'll be interested in seeing your submerged effects...

Finished everything except the leader pic now. I darkened the cross fluery a bit so it wasn't as washed out, as well as doing the submerged effects you wanted to see:

That looks like it will serve very well.

I'm not sure I didn't like the straight up white protestant church better, but a castle certainly isn't going to look as strangely out of place to most eyes sitting on planet x for being so mundane Earth -though I suspect it's the opposite, if anything, for a lot of Europeans- and castles certainly are a better thematic fit for the 'Knights of' part of the idea...

Thanks BU :) The church was still good. I only changed it because of wanting to adjust the theme slightly, rather than it being a bad job per se.

Might look into the CVR editor and see what it can do.

Oh, for some unit customizing?

Ooh, that's sorta exciting.  You'd have loved to have had the option to paint stripes or something on the colony pods when you started Lost Eden -what was it?  Six years ago now?- and I'm really interested in seeing what you can make ford's .cvr editor do.

-I'll have to ping for his attention if this goes anywhere.  Definitely keep us posted. ;b;
