Mars Mod Thread 1: Planning

[fezick31]

here is the 1st era of my second set of splash screens. It is quite rough, as I haven't had a s much time to tweek it.

I just wanted to say that I love yor splash screens!

The last one is great! Maybe on later era splashes a city could grow out from the spot with the landing vehicle? In the last era splash it could fill the entire splash and there could be jungles etc.?

just my 2 cents.,.,.,.,.

Thank you
I'll work on that as I get a chance. I had much of the same idea. I was also thinking of changing the scenery a bit as well, with the horizon slowly changing to ocean and the sky gradually getting bluer.

i like the 2nd set better, and is it my computer or are the mountains/hills a bit fuzzy?

it's a medium quality jpeg. THe original photoshop file is much better, and much bigger (6.5 MB). I doubt MarkG would let me post it .

here is a cropped image at full pixels and higher quality:

age 4

looks good

is age one staying like that, or will it become more tree-like?

nice to see my program in action

[fezick31]

The tech tree is quite extensive, good job!

I do agree with Lemmy though in that it would be nice to have the first era be a bit more "treeie" (is that a word?).

It might be interesting to see two or three different trees...that's a lot mor ework though, and I'm not the one doing it so it's easy for me to say

great work heardie!

[heardie]

thats the problm with using the tech tree from Civ2 FW, and converting it to ages...it is rather hard. The way I see it the first age is very quick, technology needed when just arriving, then after settling down more specific areas can be resarched (age 2)

[Reptilicus]

Well, this mod doesnt have to use the old Mars tech tree. Personally, i felt it had too many useless units anyway.
