Alternate original seven faction mod

[JarlWolf]

Looking good so far... I can't quite put it/see exactly but the central structure of the Labyrinth base is somehow miscoloured.... other then that things are looking solid. I'll have to look at it in greater detail to tell you.

[Buster's Uncle]

Maybe put a little blue back into the dome?

[Dio]

How is this? Also base size 2.

Edit: Put it on a black blackground.

[Dio]

What do you think I should do as the size four special feature for the Hive bases?

[JarlWolf]

I'm almost tempted is to suggest that size 2 should increase in size a tad, be your size 4, and then slowly remove structures until you just get to the hatch. Up to you though, I just think it'd be too cluttered it there was more.

I will take it into consideration but I would like you to first take a look at the size 3 base.

Edit: Shaded the structure on the far right.

I still need some ideas for a special feature of the size 4 hive bases.

Examples of a special feature from the SMAC bases include: the peacekeeping logo on the front of there base, the inclusion of lights on the spartan bases, etc.

Satellite dish with a (dark) cable running from the stand/pylon into one of those 'pits'.

Good idea Geo . Also, if you want to get a better view of what they are, go take a look at the hive diplomacy landscape. As a matter of fact, do that for any of these bases and  you will get a better view of them. They are my sources of inspiration since I know they were created before the officially released faction bases that Firaxis created.

[Dio]

Here is the new size 1 hive base. I plan to have the holes be enlarged with each additional base size and to add one sensor array and associated structure per base level past 1. At size three I will also add the second structure for the holes with associated tubes.

[Dio]

What do you think so far? Base sizes 1 and 2.

[Buster's Uncle]

Nice.

[Dio]

Refined versions of Hive bases sizes 1, 2, and 3. Do you like them?

[Dio]

Added shadowing to the size 3 hive base!

[Dio]

Slightly improved size three. Also finished adding shadows to it. I hope these bases have a low enought profile to satisfy JarlWolf .
