Yeah, I'll have to do some touchups on the Damsel.

But glad to hear that people like the Knights. And as this is breton, there will be more (7 to be exact).

Ok, more pics.

In case you're wondering why I'm constantly posting these pics, my computers been acting wonky and I'm hosting these images as a backup. If my hard drive busts, I'll still have the pics in the embracing hands of the internet.

I touched up the Damsel & mounted KotR a bit. The Questing Knight probably need some work, but otherwise these are pretty finished.

Hmmm... This might go well with my British Isles map...

Very nice sprites burnsaber. The damsel is looking much better now. And I have to say, I really like the look of the questing knight even as it is. The pegasus knights might look a little better with slightly lighter-colored wings... it's a little hard to tell there's a man on top of it. I guess that's partly because the wings cover the plume on his helmet. Aside from that little quibble everything else is great, though perhaps the lines on the marquis' caparison are a bit wavy.

Ok, this is last one for a while. The only graphics lacking are the King & Green Knight, but I'm savouring those. (rdonj, I'm also going to touch up the Pegasus Knight eventually) You see, now I'm going to start writing the descriptions* and I'll work on the missing graphics if I ever need a break from the constant typing.

I updated the Knight Errants & KotR's pics. Also some more touchups on the Damsel & Questing Knight.

Since I'm now going to write the descriptions, I'd like to ask your opinion on something. I got this idea to write the nation into the Dominions3-verse, instead of just "making it appear" like Sombre did with his nations. I see special reason to go this route because I really can't the true warhammer explanation for the Lady and the origins of the Grail because we lack Wood Elf nation**. I won't go into detail here, but my storyline involves the fall of Maverni and the last of druids making a deal with a certain supernatural being to get their revenge on Ermor.

*My method of mod-making
1) Do Graphics
2) Do Descriptions (I usually write them in word, to make use of the spellchecker)
3) The .dm file.

**
Besides, IMHO, the warhammer explanation sorta sucks. I mean it's pretty dark and fitting for warhammer universe, but it dramatically undermines the whole nation. I mean, who'd think that guys that are being hoaxed on a epic level could be bad-***?

You're doing a fantastic job with the artwork, Burnsaber.

I do have a question about your Peasant Bowman: is he going to be a longbowman? From the graphic, he looks closer to a regular archer. Doesn't really matter to me either way, but given the era, a longbowman could be appropriate. The earliest mentions of Arthur seem to predate the regular military application of the longbow, but a significant amount of Arthurian legend was developed or compiled when it was in use.
