What is going on here. I feel I'm being willfully misunderstood.

@Agrajeg. The middle eastern theme has not been officially decided upon. In fact, I went out of my way to point this out in the post you quoted.

@Endoperez. I know about the Marid-water nonissue, as I said earlier, hence the quotaion marks around Marid. I don't exactly have a better name.

@Everyone. Sorry if I sound grumpy. I'm a bit sick right now, not that that excuses it.

Ah, but your post came right before:

I have updated the original post with the current working information

Which leads to:

Middle Eastern Setting: Keep this in mind when creating the sprites for the units. Garb in particular should be appropriate to the time period and region.

Maybe I overreacted a bit.

Second, you don't seem very excited by the Middle Eastern theme.

Well, I'm pretty sure I already said I do not like the middle eastern theme.
In fact, I'd prefer pretty much every other theme (as far as mythologies go.)
As you can see from my sprites, my thoughts go in the direction of nonespecific-European style, that isn't too different from most ordinary humans in Dominions.

Happy Birthday Agrajag . BTW, the sprite you created can be explained away in other manners as well. He could be Goth .

@Everyone

We need a new name for the nation. Submit your ideas and we will decide on the new name.

Agreed. Happy birthday.
Apologies for grumping (is that a word.)


Hey, just occured to me I'm going to have to upload stuff eventually -should I just use winRAR to compress, or is there a specific format I should use?
Getting back to work now.

[Foodstamp]

I used to rar, now I normally zip stuff because I have had some unix users complain in the past. The mod sizes are so small that compression size does not matter. For the purposes of me getting the .dm/graphics for combining with the other modders works, you can use either.

(Happy belated birthday Agrajag)

Since it seems nobody will come up with a name, here's one:

Acatharti Dominion (loosely translates to: Realm of the Impure / Rule of the Impure)

Also, since nobody else seems to have spoken up about the backdrop, and Agrajag (or anyone else) hasn't actually put forth an actual alternative (and no, generic european-style fantasy human won't cut it) we seem to be still passively leaning towards the middle-eastern backdrop. If anyone wants to speak up about it, this is a good time.

(While I still have choices to make about some units, and ideas which could take a week or two to flesh out, I can't actually proceed with the spritework until we make a concrete (and final) decision about this)

@Foodstamp:
Since each of the files we would send are so small anyway, I don't think using no compression at all should be a problem.
