Age of Realms: Mayhem [Quenched]

Love the sig by the way

thanks both.

does U'rl still count as a dock?

is a power rune when you hold both runes of a certain type? (eg Dwarf 1 and 2)

does everyone think it's fair to treat players as if they've already played the first two maps? What I mean is there is no explanation of what a village is or what frostbite means?

I think every map (even those in a series) should be treated individually so explanations for gameplay should be there.

colourful!! but chaotic!

it's mayhem not chaos. it has to start with an M

Bugger the mayhem,,,the colours are chaotic!

urls is still a dock. the blood waters are navigable.

a power rune is a rune. hold one and you get +2 hold both and you get +2.

don't worry the legend will be modified. it will be as clear as the others. i will show what a village/castle/sanctuary is. and all details. just like i did in the previous versions.

that's what i wanted. something to stick you in the eye grab you by the collar and smash your face on the screen. hyperbole, emphasis, call it however you want. everything is exaggerated.

DiM, im disappointed. The graphics look ugly, and hurt my eyes. Its hard to tell whats going one. I dont like the textures and colors.

I like the idea though! Im sure it will look great when its done!

(and i was hoping for AoR:Modern....)

Sorry but for the most part im disapointed with this so far.

To much neow glowing going on. Has a much to futurisitic feel to it.

Im happy with the humans and ice golems feel but everything else is just bleh. Sorry DiM, but i think some more though is going to have to go into some of the landscape.

PM me when your ready to talk

no modern.

as for the colours, what hard to tell? they are pretty distinct.

its not that its hard to tell what is what, its just that everything clashes with everything else. I strongly suggest changing the textures, making them a bit more natural. If you do that, itll look much better, and fit with the nature/environment theme of the other two maps.

[Kaplowitz]

The text. Especially near the Xi castle. It just looks rushed or something

edit: agree with wcaclimbing

what neon man? i see no neon.

you say it's futuristic and kaplowitz says he's disappointed it's not futuristic.

as for the more thought, trust me i gave it a lot of thought and this is the way i want to go. true some may like it some may not. i can live with that. middle east revamp is hated for the lack of colour and at the same time it is loved for the same reason.

i think this is the exact same case here. i'm not a pastel guy. i'm more of an "in your face" colours type

Put up a poll then, if you feel so confident. Lets see how many people actually like the graphics on this one.

they are natural at their roots but after pumping some steroids to emphasise them they got this way. as for fitting with the others, sorry but i don't want that. as i said things are exaggerated to suggest the mayhem and the proportions of the battle

what do you mean rushed?
it's the same text style as the other places. just the colour is different.

polls are useless, especially in the foundry.

as i said before, i exaggerated things to create a certain feeling, to create the mayhem, to emphasise the proportions of the battle. imagine a pastel looking calm and peaceful land. does that make you wage war and clash your armies against the enemy? now look at the map i presented. don't the textures and colours give you an agitated feeling don't they make your heart pump faster?
