        Still in beta, but i'm thinking about a mass-stile armies design. That's why they are smaller then usual...

          • WWI-Style Monitor?

            Has anyone ever made an icon of a WWI RN monitor?

            Just prior to WWI, Fisher resurrected this term in the British navy for a type of bombardment vessel. They looked almost comical: big battleship or cruiser gun turrets on a 600-6000t boat. Big tripod to match. Tiny funnel - usually couldn't make over 10 knots. They seemed pretty popular with the campaign planners.

            Here's a pic.

                • Perfect! The Erebus was completed in 1916. Didn't realize that a few of these relics served in WWII.

                  Have these posts been compiled in a zip somewhere? The thread is a bit long for perusing.

                    • that is becouse JPG files doesnt save all the data, JPGs only save some of it (for smaller file sizes) and thne "make good guesses" as to what the blank pixels shoudl be

                      • Palaiologos: posting in GIFs more so than PNGs is much better

                        Also doesn't Palaiologo mean something to the effect of "Ancient Wisdom"?

                          That's true, but that's not the reason the images appear blurred.

                          If you save your images as JPEG you must have several options somewhere as to what image quality you want. Since JPEG is better at encoding smooth gradients than sharp edges, CorelDRAW probably has an optimization setting to slightly blur the image (and thus further reduces filesize). That might not be a problem for photos or so, but is a problem for Civ2 imagery.
                          You should be able to adjust these settings either when saving or in the general program preferences.

                          In any case, if you want accurate lossless images (like with Civ2 graphics, much less so with screenshots) use PNG or GIF (for Civ2 GIF is preferable since that's the format Civ2 uses itself).

                          • Beautifull units! Woa, I wasn't expecting the railroad monster-gun in the last row. I was just reading about it yesterday. The reich built just two of them, I can't recall their names. They blew the sevastopol forts to bits, but since they were more like battleships on weels, they never lived up to the initial expectations (too cumbersome and expensive to operate, only fired a couple dozen of rounds). A really crappy investment. Both got captured by the soviets.

                              Has anyone made a Challenger II tank and Warrior IFV (modern British stuff)?
