Feudal War [Quenched]

[yeti_c]

One at the bottom (in the middle) and one at the top (to the left of the lake) seem logical positions?

check the beauty of the texture

[gimil]

Ive added the 3 villages and boarders. the darker boarder will be the castle estate with can be bombarded from the castle in order to help the defence of the castle.

there is now 101 terrs

[DiM]

looks really good.

but i'm not sure about the lighter/darker borders.

maybe think of making all the borders the same shade and add a different border to limit the bombardments. something like this:



of course not that colour. maybe something like a small wall of stones with little outposts.

[gimil]

how did you do that and ill se what i can come up with

[gimil]

i now thinking a large wall protecting the castle estate. each wall has a gate or 2 the enemy needs to use to storm the castle grounds

[DiM]

i took a brush and painted on top.

i took a brush and painted on top.

well that would be obviouse i ment what kind of brush? did you use any techniques once you brushed over it etc.

[DiM]

here you go a new style and how i did it.

took your image and used a brownish 5px brush.

then using the magic wand i selected the brush and applied a fill and texture.
it was a satin fill with 2 tones of brown and the texture was something with random dots at 36% transparency. you can use any type of texture. preferably something like a brick.

[yeti_c]

Territories looking good.

Like the wall idea - the slightly dark borders are too subtle to see I reckon.

The villages need to be made less transparent I reckon.

C.

[gimil]

there not transparent there jsut have a dark green outline to stop them lookign so square

[yeti_c]

OK, perhaps make them a touch darker then?!

C.

[DiM]

here's 2 more versions.

use a brush then use marquee to select it. apply texture or pattern then toy with bevel and shade effects:

[gimil]

im going to add some watch towers ect when i try it out

[yeti_c]

Second one looks more like a wall...

First one, however, is more obvious!

C.

[gimil]

i personally like the 1st one two but im going to paly around and get my own idea

[gimil]

With walls

[gimil]

drop shadowed the villages and the walls

[DiM]

it's shaping up nicely. but you need to liven up the landscape. maybe add some plants (bushes trees, etc) also you can add some stone roads.

[yeti_c]

Them walls are looking ace.

ive just seen mibi's vid and i know how im going to make trees and roads now

[gimil]

added some trees. Im not putting paths in till i find a way to put in casltes. I now need help with where to put the gold mine and teh merc camp.

[yeti_c]

I like the added trees...

As I said before - at the top left of the lake - and in the middle at the bottom - would make each resource equivdistant from the 3 nearest castles.

C.

[gimil]

have the merc camp in teh trees and teh gold mine next to the lake sounds good. i dont know how they should look thou.

[edocsil]

this is a AWESOME map my only deal with it is the openings in the stone walls u might wana put a small borderline in there so it doesnt look like one big terit
