    Regarding tileset name, how does "Amplio" sound?

    It means "to enlarge, increase, improve". I think it kind of fits because this tileset is larger than the "standard" size, will mostly consist of brand new gfx including several additional city styles, and it uses new UI elements like the citybar.

    It doesn not however, encompass the "working together" aspect.
    We are the apt, you will be packaged.

      Well, some progress on the Japanese tileset.

      Despite various efforts I haven't been able to make contact with the original author so that leaves me in the sad position of re-doing/implementing the set from my own creations. This has taken some time but I should post it here soon.


      In the meantime I've found a fitting name for this tileset. It's the Latin word: CIVITAS

      Which has several meanings in Latin like " town" or "city" and also "townsfolk" or more fittingly: "a union of citizens". Yes, it may sound a little like another civ-xxxx cliche but in this case "civitas" seems to cover this project quite well.
      Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

        I've finally got through the Asian/Japanese tileset.

          Looks amazing, Cap.

          BTW, how do I contact Erwan? He had a nice Byzantine set mostly done when we last spoke, uhm, five years or so ago.

                The only thing I'd add is some shadows on the town square.

                  St. Leo,

                  I did ask Erwan about his graphics but he pointed me towards his remaining units on the net. He's rather busy, and considering he had some PC troubles lately. I'm not sure if he's got anything unpublished left.

                  I'll PM you if you want to contact him yourself.


                  Now up for some new vistas: Let's head to Babylon!

                  (I'lll clean up the japanese set tomorrow)

                    Hmmm, see a slight error with the blue tower. I'll post a new one tomorrow.

                    Btw, I think I have overdone the terrain a bit. What is wise: less terrain or no terrain?

                      The improved Babylon city plus the Asian/Japanese one (minor tweaks only).

                          Hi Smiley,

                          I've seen your hightower and bridgework in the other threads. A very creative idea, maybe we can implement "true" bridges in FC someday.

                          First things first however, I've got one iso city left to do and that's a medieval one. Plus perhaps some extra's like rome and early industrial.

                          You still have some time left to finish the Electric Age?

                              Another update. The medieval city is done now

                              N.B
                              I had to scale the cathedral down a bit, even with
                              "plus" it was hard to fit in.

                                Any plans to do a regular civ version?
