That was more or less the reason why I wanted to give her some color, to balance out the ethnicities of my factions. That said I'm pretty comfortable where I'm at.

Oh and I've got the bases picked out, working on getting them cropped and fitted.

Fantastic job. Those bases look very fitting.

Thanks! I had a real hard time with this one, possibly because it's the last major graphics file I needed for my factions, and possibly because I didn't have a real strong idea of the faction's personality. Unlike the others, the very first thing I came up with for these guys was their logo-- a DNA helix transforming into a butterfly.

Next on the list is touching up earlier files (I want to redo the Technocrat bases) and assigning custom bases to the Authority and the Sons of the Advent.

I revised the graphics for the Sons of the Advent. I replaced the leaderhead with a brighter one that uses better scanlines, and I customized the base graphics using one of BU's base sets, which I modified a bit.

Those bases look amazing, what set where they from originally? I know you did some edits but still.

Revised graphics for the Colonial Authority. More Anno 2070 graphics (note: I haven't actually played the game; I took these from screenshots I found online). I'm not 100% on these; let me know what you all think.

Ugh. I really don't like those. I need to figure something else out. That was a lot of work cutting those out from the screenshot too.

I'd say the problem is all the tan color - have you tested to see how it looks in-game?

I'd suggest just changing the colour of the buildings. I can easily do it for you if you want.

I feel the same. What color would you suggest? Blue? That's their faction color.

A simple metallic grey or steel colour, have bits of it coloured theirs, if their colour is tan look up GDI structures, mix and mash. Also for future note in the next little while I seem a little off my nogging or lacking in post, I got sick from some bad food and I haven't had food in me until recently+ I passed out for a while.


Edit: In short I am weak and tired and a walking puke machine made out of meat, but I'll still help. Give it a few hours and it should go away.

Why do you insist that the human genetic code is 'sacred' or 'taboo'? It is a chemical process and nothing more. For that matter -we- are chemical processes and nothing more.
