Sprites!
 

Long ago (1994?), I used to play one of the ancestors to Dominions - Warlords II by Strategic Studies Group (australia). I modded some scenarios then too, and had hung on to my work and the other custom work by other modders.

Well, Warlords II is long dead, but I thought it would help other modders if I posted the graphics from those old game scenarios.

The first one is from a "star trek" mod I made. It might still be applicable to Doms3 with the right type of custom map... Have fun!

Another sprite map - "Babe Armies" (author unknown)

Here's some more. When I noticed how much repitition and cross-borrowing of sprites there were, I only extracted one sprite map per mod, and combined them all together.

Very nice work! I'm sure quite a few of these can be modified into Dom3.

If you don't mind, I'm going to post some artwork of my own (and artwork I blatantly steal from across the web) for others to use.

Watch out for the blatant stuff. We dont want to get Shrapnel/Illwinter in hot water with the big boys that can hurt them, or with the other small independents that they consider friends.

Someone might want to browse places like SourceForge.net for some open source stuff.

Re: Sprites!
 

Don't worry, nothing all that blatant, or easy to recognise, for that matter. Certainly nothing that has gotten anyone in hot water in the past. I have to convert images to be useable, suitable, and aesthetic for Dom3 anyway, and I'm certainly not trying to sell anyone anything. I wouldn't recommend Illwinter co-opt images I post for their own uses, though, unless I qualify specific art as original to me.

Here's some more sprites from the same game. I created all these myself for one of the Warlords 3 scenarios (Crystal Isles 3D)... i was hanging on to them to create a dominions nations mod, but I realized I'm never going to get around to it, so have at them everybody.
