I'll stick with the 4 I have for now. I'm lacking in space at the moment, that's why my explanations in the legend are a bit lacking in detail. Any more species will make things way too cluttered.

True but heres an Legend Suggestion for a better Overweiv.

- Change Colour of ANT WARS tittle.

- Change Strenght. With Green Colours.

- Change Negative With Red Colours.

- Is the part saying you start with one of the eggs + not take 2 ants factions really necearry people will see that when they start playing. You Can change to conquer one of the factions to lead your ant empire to victory. Or something

- Make The Tittle with the part above makeing in the corner. Then set the part above above the -100part.

- Set Bonuses over the bonuses. And Factions over the Factions (or Spices.)

-Make the egg an actully big egg.with the army numbers it will look better;)

-Again the Nursery and The Background of the queen is to alike. Change the Queen background to something amazing.

All great suggestions, thanks Androidz. I will get to work on those tomorrow though, for I am tired.

Also, since the species selector can attack the species choice, the queen will need to be able to bombard the individual species choices to eliminate someone, no?

Graphics wise I think you could probably play with the texture to get something more sand/dirt like.

I realise you're probably still mucking about with it, but the food chambers could look different. Right now its kinda like green airbrush.

The explanation, though complete, could be stated more concisely. I think it just may be the order or placement or somesuch but maybe put it into a more paragraphy type thing at the top which details the gameplay style and dump the bonuses and weaknesses in a legend at the bottom maybe?

Are the bonuses enough? It seems if you select army ant you have to conquer at least 5 territories for each +1 you get. Thats gonna make progress painful. Or it might just be me.

Very cool though.

I'll post up a few different dirt options at some stage and then make a poll for it. Any suggestions as to how I should make the dirt look would be most appreciated.

I liked it too , but not everyone can be pleased. Although my second attempt is growing on me too.

I think its to plain. Doesent look like dirt but a texture on the wall. Almost slippery.

(Wow hard to explain:D)

foregone wrote:The first is definitely better than the second. Are you using GIMP or Photoshop? I like the "feel" of the first, but think it could look a little more like loose particles, which I'd imagine it looks like in an anthill. Of course, this might just be me. Perhaps you should look at the other things first and then come back to the texture if it doesn't work in the overall feel further along?

I took a layer filled with white and went to filter -> noise -> add noise with the options Gaussian and Monochromatic at 200%. I then did a motion blur of 2 pixels at 90 degrees, and after that another motion blur of 2 pixel, but this time at 0 degrees. I set a color overlay on the layer (you'd probably want a different color) and messed with the opacity on that until I got a roughly dirt-colored layer. I then duplicated the layer and rotated it 180 degrees, and set the opacity on the duplicate to 70%.

It might be a bit blurrier than what you're looking for, now that I look at it again. Maybe only have the motion blurs at 1 px.

I like the coulour you suggested but i think its more of a rockish colour now.

Androidz I don't think ZeakCytho meant the colour as a suggestion, he just used it as an example.

But the texture is much better.

Really? Hmm, wonder if other people find that. Glad you like the texture though.
