Alternate original seven faction mod

[Geo]

They look pretty much forlorn within the defenses.

Maybe full color will give it sufficient pop?

[Dio]

Here is a pretty well colored version of them.

[Buster's Uncle]

Much better.  The yellow band really makes it stand out.

[Dio]

Here is a rough draft of the gaian size 1 base.

[Buster's Uncle]

Are you going to do EVERYTHING the hard way?

[Dio]

Like I have said before, my style is very different from the one they used to create the bases originally and thus makes mine stand out as being different. So unless I can make everything similiar, then I must do it the hard way. That is one reason why I was hesitant to start this project. Also, I knew that I would not be satisfied unless I re-did them all.

[Buster's Uncle]

Okay.

[Dio]

Here is the size two base. Do you think it is too big?

[Dio]

Update. Question remains the same.

[JarlWolf]

No, seems to suit. For third tier, add a little addition in the front/structure, then make a larger facility next to it or enlarging the others...


Enlarging... that word doesn't look right at all... Enlargen look's better...

[Buster's Uncle]

Not too big, no.

[Dio]

I have a single very important question that I would like a more or less concrete answer to from members of this community. I am wondering if anyone would actually use the changed original seven faction files in there games? I want to know this because if only one or two people even try it, then I might feel as though it is a waste of my time.  I am hoping to get more than several people's opinion on this question.

This touches on a disheartening thing; good work never gets the attention it deserves.  You can't fixate too much on the amount of feedback you get, or it's all no good.  I had a lot of trouble coming to grips with that when I was starting out; one of the best modders here is slowly letting it defeat him.  Do the work because it's worth doing.  Do it because you learn useful skills doing it - and make no mistake; you're learning very useful skills.  Do it for the lurkers, to bait them here so they'll decide to sign up and entertain you with their posts and conversation.  Do it as a favor to me.  But we don't make any money, and the applause is never enough - you do it for other reasons.

And I think that if there was an event surrounding this, maybe a challenge or something related, it'd spike interest and get people to try it. I for one am looking forward to all this custom work your doing. I will be honest and state it I probably won't use it as a permanent replacement for the originals, but I'd play a few games with these alternatives just for the experience and have fun with it. 

This game is old with a very reserved fan base. If nothing else, what BUncle said: you are garnering experience and skill modifying games, creating graphics of which can be applied to fronts.
