admin Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Hello everyone Could you please provide feedback and comments on which styles you like more and why?
Jordy Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 I like it simple, clean and stylized, my personal preference is number 5, with perhaps a little more detail such as in the upper-left screenshot of this page. I think the brightness of number 7 is somewhat off. Six is interesting too and comes close to the colors I prefer, but like it says, I don't like the volcano like edges on the hills. What I really like about number 2 is that it says, this is it, it's about the game. You get a clear oversight of your troops and options and it's all about the actions you make, not so much about the immersiveness. The gray works well on the red and I'm not opposed to this one either. But, I will fill in the but for me.. I think it belongs more to a pure multi-player competitive game. A game, which I would VERY much like and I hope, if this game is a success, you will consider.. Bare, but highly stylized with a wiff of a past century presented in the colors, well gray, and just all about your strategic decisions against another human being.
LTao Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 #7 for most realism and graphical fidelity, but the extra prettyness might interfere with gameplay unless interface elements are good and the player still knows where everything is.
adambomb Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 concept #7, fits the game style of the civil war. I really like it, some of the others are ok, but #7 if "IT" Would like to see some units on the map so I could see how they look. (yes, realism and graphical fidelity is a must)
RyTide Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Concept #7 captures the atmosphere of the period and adds a great miniatures feel to the game.
David Fair Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Concept #7 looks great; but, the relationship of the map to the troop scale and temporal aspects are critical to answer the question. Trading off topographical eye candy for playability is not a good alternative.
miramira Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 http://revolt.axismaps.com/map/ I posted the above link earlier today on the TWcenter forum, I think the style of lithograph map would be great for the campaign map, it would help give a nice period detail....

miramira Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Thank you for this link. Your welcome, I like the way that website uses a timeline to bring to life the history with small text boxes on the map, almost like a military messenger
Fencible Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Agree with #7. Reminds me of the battle illustration maps used in Civil War centenary series of National Geographic in the 1960s that fascinated me as a child. Will resonate with many.
Vastator Posted December 8, 2013 Posted December 8, 2013 #7 is indeed the best one; though also the #5 is not so bad, but, at least for me, it could suit well for a fantasy setting.
Nick Thomadis Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 This is how it looks right now http://www.ultimategeneral.com/blog/steam-greenlight-plans-and-first-screenshots based on #7 direction
michaelws Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 beautiful...some there haste extremely good taste.
SgtGrunt Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 The latest update looks great. I was wondering if there will be a zoom feature? If so, to what level of detail? Also, will there be a variety of uniform details? So far it looks as though they are pretty vanilla. Although, I suppose that's to be expected at this stage of development. Got to have a sturdy foundation before you build the house!
TheCenturion Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 The graphical style is really fresh, and to the point; I'm glad you haven't gone for an all-grit approach like a lot of other Civil War games. A game has to be enjoyable to look at, as well as reflecting the time period it depicts. The particle effects are nice and fluffy too.
adambomb Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Graphics look great. You are really doing some wonderful work. Game will be GREAT!! I'm playing Rome 2 now but only with a MOD DEI, a realistic mod kindof like you would have made. (PS , not as good as you would have done. )

Agreed, I would love to see a revolutionary war battle on these maps.
