Aw aw aw
It's Ravenna, not Rimini....

So here's my work... I'm now satisfied with this city icon, which I think is both accurate and suitable for the game.



Your comments?

Prometeus,
Marchese di Pescara? I think you're talking about another person. Marchese di Pescara was the one who led the Spanish at the Battle of Pavia (1525), and one of Grand Captain's most accomplished disciples.
Italian nobility titles for the Grand Captain were, as far as I know, Duke of Terranova and Marchese di Sant'Angelo... Maybe you heard those names before?

Please excuse me, I just love talking about Spanish 16th Century generals and armies...

Sorry, JGV, i checked better my books, i was wrong... It's like you say!

Neat work!!! A little attache: the wall stones were always of big size ( Sachsahùaman style ).BTW, the golden building is the Cuzco's Curicancha? ( kidding, kidding!! Inca builded a little version of that construction in every place they conquered)

[jgv_fiera]

Thanks for your quick feedback!

Yes, last city icon tries to depict big ica cities like Cuzco, which had gold and silver recovered temples, namely Coricancha and some others...

I'm not particularly proud of city walls. I might still retouch them... maybe make them look bigger and more 'ciclopeus' (does that make sense?). But the main work is already done...

Those are without doubt some of the best city icons I have ever seen! Simply amazing...! I envy you, I wish my cities would look as good as yours...

So when do you expect to reach the playtest part of your scenario? I'd love to play it!

Well, thanks a lot... It's great to hear that, Hendrik! Thanks again... Hey, I am almost blushing!

Well, I don't really know when my scenario will be ready for playtesting... There still a lot of work to be done... I didn't like the first map I made, so I've made a new one, and now I am making 'tests' with city graphics... Well, I prefer to perfectionate my work now, than to do a 'rush job'... Someone gave me that advice in this very forum maybe three months ago! Do you remember?

You should know that that advice came from someone who likes to follow the rules only when they suit him...
I guess you could call me a lazzy perfectionist.

But I know what you mean. It always takes ages when I do something, too. Just as in my current scenario.

jgv:
Good work, I really like your graphics style!
I wonder whether I could use some of your ancient units (avaiable on your homepage) for an upcoming ancient scenario...?

Despite being ignored by many, le grand capitain was, no doubt, one of the best generals in history. But you know, he did not speak English or French...

[Beto Benedetti]

Oh, and very good Inca cities (better than those in Alba ) Just a humble suggestion: they would look even better in a darker gray tone.

[Beto Benedetti]

Three postings in a row he he

Have you ever listened to the song "Pizarro y el Inca" (aka Encounter in Cajamarca)? That song would provide an excellent musical background for you scen.

[jgv_fiera]

¡Gracias, Beto!

A darker grey... hmmm, I'm not sure about it... I will try, but then I'll have to make my background clearer!

P.D: Te veo en el Spanglish Forum
