Re: New nation : Shangri La, Hidden City of the Secret Masters
Do you anticipate difficulty with the graphics?
A lot of nations are started or designed but a major hurdle for many people seems to be doing the graphics. Placeholders or quick and dirty graphics have been used as a shortcut, but the mods that use them don't seem to get a lot of play. |
Re: New nation : Shangri La, Hidden City of the Secret Masters
Yes, I DO anticipate difficulty with the graphics, but i will try all my best to make sprites that don't look like they've been drawn by a one-handed blind drunken painter !! (I'll TRY :D !)
I don't want to waste what seems good mod ideas, and represent so much work, with bad graphics, so I'll apply myself on my sprites. Furthermore, I learn a lot when intenting to resolve my problems. It seems that I've just resolved my problems with yetis' sprites, and it gave me ideas to resolve other graphic problems. If I REALLY need help, I'll ask for it...:p |
Re: New nation : Shangri La, Hidden City of the Secret Masters
If you want a good base for a Yeti sprite I think a couple have been done.
I did Yhetees in the Ogre Kingdoms mod. |
Re: New nation : Shangri La, Hidden City of the Secret Masters
OK, I'll have a look at it...;)

I think the other yeti I remember was in,... Epic Heroes?

Here's a rather unique take on the yeti from Monstropedia:

Re: New nation : Shangri La, Hidden City of the Secret Masters
Quite lovecraftian, isn't it :D ?
Mines will be white furry big beasts, related to more evolved (or less degenerate) Mi Gös (and these ones are NOT Lovecraft's ones!). Sombre, I won't be using your yhetee's sprite, but your mod is gorgeous!! By the way, I've found A. David-Néel's book about Tibetan mystics and magicians, and the epic of king Gesar of Ling. Maybe Gesar will appear as a hero, probably in EA. There will be ro langs (walking corpses) too, I'll try to find something lightly different from standard soulless. Oh, and citipatis will probably be summonable undead. Probably in MA, 'cause originally, they're assassinated monks, and there are no monks in EA, only shamans. |
Re: New nation : Shangri La, Hidden City of the Secret Masters
Thank you.
This is one of the fews mods I'm really anticipating. The flavour is very nice, it fits well with dom3 and you seem like you're going to put in the effort on the graphical front. |
Re: New nation : Shangri La, Hidden City of the Secret Masters
Palden Dorjee Lhamo will be a national hero in EA, and there'll be a national spell to summon the Sde Brgyad, or Frightful Ones.
For those who don't know these merry & joyful fellows, Palden Dorjee Lhamo, is a tibetan demon who rides a wild horse on a saddle made from a bloody human skin. The Frightful Ones are demons crowned with bones and who dance upon corpses, eat the flesh of men and whose delicacy is fresh brains served up in shattered skulls !! King Gesar of Ling (a tibetan colleague of king Arthur, Cu Chulainn or Gilgamesh) will be a hero, probably in EA. You'll also have the ascet and poet Milarepa as a hero, possibly in EA. |

I agree! I would like to see this project finished. Keep up the good work and make sure you finish the graphics. It would be a shame to see such good ideas come to naught :) |
