stop calling your models for mods and i can reply kk?

[-Archmage-]

Can put a bit more quality into this mod, I for one am not going to play this if it's just another low-quality mod.

[ultifd]

Cool, another mod.

Quantity over quality.   

[John.d.h]

Quantity over quality.   

That's the opposite of what's good.

I know, I was kidding/joking around... 
Besides...If you think about it... the mods/factions of Glest...their quality is not that great... I think Tiger and Elims' mods/factions is not that good, like the quality, but at least it adds flavor to Glest, more than others....

please give me Ideas

I don't mean this in an insulting way, but maybe you should practice your Blender/GIMP skills and improve some of your old work.  You guys have some worthwhile ideas, and your ability to work fast is great, but frankly your mods are nothing compared to the work of some of the other projects out there.  I think if you slow down a bit and have some attention to detail, you have the potential to be a good modder.

I know, I was kidding/joking around... 

Kinda hard to tell sometimes.

Besides...If you think about it... the mods/factions of Glest...their quality is not that great...

I think there are plenty of high-quality mods out there, like Megapack, Dwarves, Elves, Military, and some others that I'm forgetting.  To be anywhere near the same level, the Vbros need to step up quite a bit.  That's why I'm suggesting they try to redo and improve on their old work instead of doing new stuff.

Yeah, I know.

True. But they do add some "flavor".   
Yeah, I prefer to play those mods/factions over Vbros packs.
It's like they have great ideas, but they don't try to improve...

The MegaPAck is overrated.
It has good models, awesome textures, but   animations(no offense at all). Overall pretty good!
Dwarves is pretty damn good yes! A little weak on the animations, but not too bad!
Elves is very good yes! Models are great, textures are amazing, animations look a bit unnatural, but if gAMeboy will come back and show some activity he'll have my help on the animation(if he wants it).
Military............aannhhhhh, not so good.... Models are ok, textures are ok, but animations......not so great....

I think the best mod(currently) is Woodsmen, by far!
Superb on everything models, textures, animations!


No offense to any of the mod owners, but I'm just giving an evaluation of the "high-quality" mods.


Quality over Quantity!!!

[ultifd]

Now, first, sorry Tiger for going off topic.  
---------------------------
Well Archmage, you didn't talk about the Fantasy Romans...    
I also agree, woodsmen is very nice. Isn't it weird that it's one of the ones that hasn't been worked on as much... not really.

This makes me think about the 0 A.D project.  

Quality over Quantity!!!

     
----------
End of OT.   

[-Archmage-]

I think I'm going to call you "Smiley"!!!

Sorry for OT...

[ElimiNator]

Guys stop chating and give ideas.

[-Archmage-]

I for one am not giving you a single idea to waist until I see proof that it's not going to be waisted!

[John.d.h]

I thought the idea was pretty clear, but I'll rephrase it for clarity.  "Stop pumping out loads and loads of mediocre mods and focus on making one really good one.  Take your time and put some actual effort into making high-quality models, textures, and animations."

Mongol Barbarian?

Mongol warrior and spirit standard/banner

Some friendly... .. . Mongol workers.

The above photos appear to be from Burning Man - so the costumes are probably a combination of Western rummage stores and Eastern souvenir shopped hats and tunics.

Ancient  monolith

Mongol Hut = Yurt  

Robert E. Howard fan websites may have lots of cool original art too.

[tiger]

these models are good ones.
not low quality like the Africa china ect.

btw here are some more models I made

battering ram
fire launcher
training camp
fire raven

Glad to hear it.

Bear cavalry?



Some of your units seem a little redundant to me.  Do you really need a rock thrower AND axe thrower?  A sword fighter, spear fighter, AND stick fighter?  Just a thought, I guess.

[ElimiNator]

Titi's Persian has knife_thrower, stick_fighter, sword_man, and workers can throw rocks. Also there is genie and more.

[-Archmage-]

Can we see some evidence that this is going to be a good-quality mod? Models, textures, and animations?

[ElimiNator]

Why? cant you wait till its done? Why you need proof? Why should we give it? Why do we care if you believe it is good or not?

But he might post a shot.

[-Archmage-]

Why?

Because you've never made a high-quality mod.

cant you wait till its done?

No, then you may have waisted another great idea.

Why you need proof?

Because I'd rather you not waist an great idea.

Why should we give it?

Because you and your brother are the ones with a low-quality mod history taking up a great idea.

Why do we care if you believe it is good or not?

I don't know, you're asking me something only you could know...

But he might post a shot.

Well, can you ask him to at least post a few G3Ds of attacks and walks or something? A screenshot isn't useful for seeing animation, and you don't see all sides of everything...


Sorry for the any harshness you find in this post, but it's not meant to be offensive, and you have been asked/told "Quality over Quantity" many many times, and you've never produced a high-quality mod(Romans being your best but the anims in that were not too good at all).

[ElimiNator]

(Romans being your best but the anims in that were not too good at all).

They were not that bad (some were  ) and Penguins and PC are good, also I have Goth and Aztec which are good and will be in vbros 5. (Ill post shots of them too if you want.)

[-Archmage-]

Well, the AI doesn't like Penguins and PC.

[Gabbe]

IM A RETARD THINKING ARCH AND ELIM HAD GONE OT!

[John.d.h]

He seems to be trying, at least.  Let's see what he can do.  Honestly, Arch, they don't have to answer to you, so if they don't want to post a screenshot just for your gratification, they don't have to.

Just curious, but is this just Tiger working on it, or is it a Vbros collaboration?
