Looks good.

Nice, but what about some more work on the textures? At least the big surfaces should be a bit nicer.

what about these for the roofs of the huts:

(similar ones on this page:

)
or this one:

and for the walls:

or a dark version of this:

Hint: Don't use too huge parts of these pictures for your textures, otherwise the detail will get lost.

It would make it look much more professionel and I hope its really not too hard to use these textures ( depending on the texture mapping you have )

I STRONGLY agree with titi. The modeling is fair, and the concept is fine, but the textures are VERY underworked.

No offense, but I think you rushed it. Why not take some more time and add more detail. Titi's images should be a great help. Also, using cloud effects on any still surface prevents it from becoming so mono-color. Use the primary color partially transparent, and the secondary color completely transparent and use the multiply cloud effect in Paint.NET. Make sure you select the area using the selections tools first. Note that lighter colors cannot be applied to a darker surface using the multiply effect. Use normal instead. Remember to increase roughness. Feel free to repeat with different colors and different amounts.

Experiment.

@tiger - Please use the modify link at the top right of your post if you need to add to the post instead of double posting.

Here is a texture for the main_hut, probably you like it. ( blend file and tga included ):

I also played a game using your african faction now. They are really strong ( too strong in my opinion ) and they have no teamcolor, they are ... simply green

Try to replace the green color in your textures with transparency and make it a bit darker and add some black.
This might look good ( I didn't tried it.

tiger · « **Reply #11 on:** 14 August 2009, 05:48:23 »

well norsemen and indian are both stronger then africa

titi · « **Reply #12 on:** 14 August 2009, 07:36:10 »

ok, I only played them in vbros_pack_1 I didn't know it was balanced to my megapack.

tiger · « **Reply #13 on:** 17 August 2009, 03:40:22 »

It isn't

I just don't think it is unfair

tiger · « **Reply #14 on:** 17 August 2009, 03:43:30 »

one cpu-ultra tech
can beat
one cpu-ultra afirca

Mark · « **Reply #15 on:** 18 August 2009, 01:34:08 »

Yes, but how does it do in all aspects? (Vrs cpus, and against other magitech?).

tiger · « **Reply #16 on:** 19 August 2009, 04:56:41 »

I don't think it is unfair

any tech can beat

any africa

other then cpu-ultra africa and cpu tech
or cpu-ultra tech and cpu africa.

Omega · « **Reply #17 on:** 19 August 2009, 05:08:57 »

I think you missed the original point of titi's message. This is included in a vbros pack, and IMO it should be balanced to that.

It may also make more sense there. Not sure how it fits in on a magic and tech design.

Magitech

tiger · « **Reply #18 on:** 20 August 2009, 07:59:47 »

afirca is balanced to v_bors pack1

tiger · « **Reply #19 on:** 1 November 2010, 03:54:19 »
