dogscoff,
I've been making my own race portrait and flag for the Vikings. I doubt that you will include them in your set, but they will be be ones I'll be using (for the meantime). If you want to see them, I can mail them to you.

Quik..vn: Thanks for the names. Probably not enough there for a full shipset, and the copyright thing makes me a little twitchy, but it's food for thought.

Rollo: Yeah I'd love to see your images. Post them or mail me (dogscoff@altavista.co.uk). You can even have some webspace for it if you want.

Thanks for the feedback too. The fast courier, corvette etc are to be used with Devnullmod. That mod doesn't even support additional images yet, but I'm hoping it soon will.

There are details of the mods supported on the site, as well as information about how and why I made each image and more besides. It's all linked to from the top of the main viking.htm page.

Oh, and don't worry about being an SEIV newbie - by the time I get the viking images finished you'll be an old veteran. (it's taking me ages to do them all=-)

Voting so far:
Fast courier #1 : 2
Fast courier #2 : 0

I will email them to you this afternoon.

Given that I recognize several of the names as modern-day cities, and that you could find them all in historical atlases, I really doubt there's a copyright issue.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

[Rollo]

dogscoff, I have sent you the images. Have you received them?

suicide_junkie, thank you for your offer to help. I'll try and fiddle around with the AI files over the weekend. I bet I'll have a lot of questions (and I'll try to be specific about them ).

Actually, if we were really antsy about copyright, a good chunk of races and shipsets (read: Star Trek-based) would not have been posted. I put the copyright info as a CYA for the post itself, since I copied and pasted straight from the CivII file.

Ponder this: Scientists already knew that matter is 98% empty space. After they figured out the structure of protons, they determined the remaining 2% is mostly made up of... well, nothing. Who says God doesn't have a sense of humor?
