Re: Updated graphics?
Its the same game as far as graphics but it looks like Kristoffer has improved his skills with GIMP.  In other words it handles them the same but it does seem the units have been redrawn to look better.

Re: Updated graphics?
I do not draw sprites in GIMP I use 'spooky sprites' of JK's design . I have redrawn sprites thet were randomly rezoomed from dom1 to dom2. Militia, barbarians and national troops with blotchy heads are made less blotchy etc. Nice changes, not revolutionary, on the sprites. |

Re: Updated graphics?
Well imho the gfx is perfect for a game like this, this is all about grand strategy. The only part which I dont like still are the unit's gfx. However the modders will have the possibility to add neat unit gfx to the game if they want.

Re: Updated graphics?
The in-combat graphics look better, but the world map looks quite a bit worse..

Re: Updated graphics?
Does it? It looks like they are testing the new map generator which seems to use the mapstuff file that Kristoffer gave us. Of course they might be to the level of beta play that those are all maps generated on some "fast and dirty mode" to the monstrously huge new maximum settings.
You KNOW the kinds of maps Im hoping for! As soon as its released I will be offering maps generated to the maximum settings, or as large and as many provinces as my biggest server machine is able to generate without puking.

Well, AFAIK, you can play on ANY map what you want, you can make a map with millions of colors, or use an existing high res map.

Could you post the 'spooky sprites' for us to use?

I don't know if JK wants spooky to be released. Anyway it is probably the least userfriendly program you will ever find. There is virtually no documentation on anything and you would have to guess a lot.
Here is a screenshot. I found the menu by accidentally clicking some key. |
