PERFECT SPRITE EXTRACTION

I am looking forward to the day we can add custom sites like that. I have so many little ideas that do not warrant a nation, and I don't want to squash the existing site units or pop types.

Start modding them, then. Or at least write them down and keep the paper somewhere safe! I've forgotten most of my little ideas.

Once I even wanted to do a total conversion of DomII: Ice Age, with all kinds of tribals running wild (I made my avatar for that project), Jotunheim restricted to Niefel theme, Man restricted to Tuatha, etc. I abandoned it when I read about plans for Dom3, but I had written all kinds of stuff down on some papers I haven't seen in years.

When I get an idea for something new, I normally type it up in a text file and put it in a folder called dom3notes. I come back to the ideas eventually and if they still seem interesting to me, I start working on them

.

btw, your tutorial has really gotten my graphic modding off the ground. It takes me about 5 minutes to do a simple graphic that was taking me 30 minutes to do before. Before I even start on a graphic now, I butcher the base unit up into reusable parts and save it in a file, makes things a lot faster, easier to color through shading tools etc, and the results look really great.
