the graphic is good enough. Could even be made simpler and still done the job.

Better use brainpower and work on gameplay! And please make a good functional PBEM that is the only I play.

Status: offline 		Thanks guys, do not that I have plans to improve some of those buildings Tim showed there. It's hard to see the units on that screen, but I can assure that with my new light setup in my 3D program the units looks much much better than what they did before.

Ola Berli, simpler graphics? Nah we had that in Prussia's Glory and Prussian War Machine, just wanted to improve them by these newer games ;)

The graphics are cool, they give me that nostalgic feel of table-top war games from my youth.

i saw the screen shots and have one thing that i find not historical at all.

In this era the combat formation for regular european infantry is the LINE 2 or 3 men deep ! These lines are long and should not be represented by a little block of infantry.

thank you

Status: offline 		Looking excellent. This series was great, and I'm glad Matrix picked it up for it's continuing advancement.

One comment on the soldier sprites: They appear a tiny bit ghostly in comparison to the nicely sharp new terrain. Could you possibly increase the color saturation and add a bit of contrast? Fantastic work otherwise.

Status: offline 		Benpark, yes I see what you meant. Actually it is D3D filtering that is used on those units and buildings, to make it look less pixelated. I did hope though we could remove this and set a fixed zoomed in view, thus making the graphics look sharper as those I posted before in this thread.

The infantry/cavalry look great in this screen. The infantry meshes well with the background. Is it the zoomed out view in this screen?

Status: offline 		I would really like the game too look like that screen. However Mike uses a filtering technique for the units so they don't look so pixelated when viewed zoomed in. So the graphics will not be that sharp, but very near that sharp for the final game :)

The shots look great! Curiously the combined gren. in the first and the aus. line and horse in the latter captures look far clearer than the dragoons and cuirassiers in the re rendered shot?

cheers

Status: offline 		This is because the engine allows the graphics to be scaled to accomodiate for larger zoomed in graphics, thus making them look more fuzzy. I agree with you that to limit the zoom to the size of the actual graphics instead of scaling them and thus remove the filtering that is used makes them loom much sharper and better in my eyes. I have emailed Tim about this and hope we can solve this. Is really zooming in beyond the hexes real scale really necessary in the first place? Me myself can clearly see units anyway, doesn't need to zoom in really close to see the action. Just take a look at the screen with the Austrian infantry and cavalry, can't look much better than that can it?
