I'm sry, but if they lose the sword and shield in that picture they'd look more like football fanatics then barbarians.

What kind of football do you watch?

Different hairstyles?

But its all the rage there! The ladies love a man with hair like that.

Nice unit icons, i approve

[Ninja_Khorin]

Indeed. My only criticism is that the black backgrounds don't fit.

[Korgoth]

What are the unit cards supposed to be? I can't really see them.

They look like the paintings on Greek pots to me. Am I right or just insane?

Yes, they do look like classical artworks.

[Ninja_Khorin]

It's indeed in style of greco-roman pottery.

Indeed. My only criticism is that the black backgrounds don't fit.

Hopefully, that shouldn't be too hard to modify.

It's odd, this kind of art style is actually much older than the time period this game is set in. AFAIK Roman art was generally much less stylized.

Still, it's a pretty cool look, even if it is a bit anachronistic.

The romans were known for their admiration of the greeks' culture. That may have something to do with it.


Or the more likely reason was that it looks cool and different than how they did it before.

Looks like they've gone for a relatively minimalistic approach to the UI design which is somewhat good.

The unit cars may get a wee-bit distracting, but I can get over that. However, the overall game visually looks great!

[Korgoth]

I only just noticed how massive the map looks on the mini map.
