A little late to the party on these; those are real impressive for your first try! Did you draw them yourselves?

My only comment is that they don't really speak to me as the property of a nihilistic despot. The Hive was perfect for that-- their bases were hunched and austere and felt oppressive to look at. These ones are lacking that characterization.

Yes I did draw them from start to finish. I drew from a combination of the pre-release screen shots for SMAC or from the faction's diplomacy landscape. However, the hive and the peacekeepers are the two factions that do not have non-generic (read gaian) bases in the pre-release screenshots.

In addition, you are not too late for this party. I still have another 5 sets of bases that I need to make or are going to finish creating/improve in quality.

What do you think is the white structure in the background towards the bottom left of the believer's diplomacy landscape?

[JarlWolf]

I'd have to see the diplomacy landscape again, all I remember is a big churchlike structure.

Post the picture and perhaps we'll be able to tell.

Here is a png of it. In addition to the white structure, do you think the structures other than the main church are seperate from one another?

[Buster's Uncle]

The white structure is a roof catching the sunlight.

[JarlWolf]

The structures to the left are connected. I'd even daresay all the structures in the picture look like a giant, connected gothic church.

Thank you BUncle and Jarlwolf, I have found your comments to be very helpful towards my planning out their base.

Logic dictates there's a mirror structure to the other side of the central 'ship' then.
At least, in old Europe almost all gothic cathedrals have such a 'balanced' layout.

[Buster's Uncle]

Good point.

Yeah, way too much classical Greek influence on medieval architecture to go asymmetrical on God's house.
