Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
I've tried actually drawing something and I think it came out pretty good. I think that the shadows falling on the buildings are probably the only problem.
I'm going to make a few similar ones; there are very few 19th century city styles.
Lighting is nine-tenths of the battle in drawing.
They look good.
Thanks.
A touch more texture on the roofs
I did make them for a civ clone where the palette was slightly different and that might have lowered the number of distinct colours. My technique is:
1. Draw the building.
2. Add Noise from PSP 6's Image menu.
3. Draw the windows.
4. Increase the size to 1000%, Smooth, and decrease it back to 100% (10% of 1000%).
6. Draw a shadow.
7. Add noise to the shadow and convert it to greyscale.
8. Compose a city from individual buildings.
and some cylinder lighting on the smokestacks would go a long way I think.
Would that be a light vertical, a darker vertical, and a dark vertical?

I've been making some city graphics myself lately - well not really city, more like village - would anyone like to see them?
