EPIC STUDIOS
presents



The world of ancient Greece wasn’t only inhabited by mighty gods and heroes. The stories we read about them were written by those who lived a peacefull life. Those are scholars, poets, writers and diplomats. These men were well educated and very smart, and they used their knowlege to survive and rule over strenght.

Now Epic Studios allows you to educate those men and use their knowlege to defeat your enemies without training a huge army. You can educate scholars who make your soldiers fight better by inspiring them with wise words. You can also educate diplomats who are even better educated in the arts of flattery and smooth talking. Diplomats will help you defeat your enemies by using only words. There’s no more need to train a huge army and attack your enemy, now you can educate a couple of diplomats and send them to your oponent’s town with a small escort. Then just sit back and let your diplomats do the talking...

MOD DETAILS

Original never-seen-before units, buildings and technologies
Original and authentic design
Couple of embelishment objects
High quality models
High quality textures

This mode brings two completely new buildings: Academy and Library.

Academy is the place where you can train scholars and diplomats. You can also improve them by researching some new technologies available only in Academy. Academy is available from Heroic Age if you play with Greek civilisation.

Library is the central place containing all the knowlege of your civilisation. That’s where you can research new technologies that will impact your other technologies and buildings. Library is available from Myhic age to players playing as Greeks.

This mod also introduces two new units: Scholar and Diplomat.

Scholar is a man who spends his time trying to explain the world around him. He’s also smart enough to make your soldiers fight better if he’s standing close to them in a fight. But since he's peacefull by nature Scholar has no attack and wears white robe to show his peacefull intentions. You can educate Scholars at the Academy from Heroic age.

Diplomat is a man trained in the arts of flattery and smooth talking who can impact your enemies’ minds. To find out what’s his real strenght you’ll have to download the mod and educate one at the university. As messangers of peace Diplomats have no attack and they wear white robe. You can only train Diplomats in Mythic age after you've researched Diplomats technology.

This mod will also introduce some new technologies such as Symbols, Paper, Philosophers...etc. Please note that there is a limited number of available technologies because Academy and Library don’t have internet connection

All buildings, units and technologies can be used in game if you play as Greek. The cost for units, buildings and techologies has been balanced with usual prices so you won’t spend too much resources.

The mod is 70 % complete and it’ll be released soon after The Hoplites.

BEHIND THE SCENE...
And here are some beta screenshots, but don’t tell anyone I showed you these...

I like the university's dome, but it could probably use more columns around the base to cover up some of that empty space. The columns in the front seem a little too skinny. And that is one huge scholar!

I have to hand it to you, as far as Epic Studio mods go, this is a huge step up.
Well done.

Clever how you used the same textures for buildings though. I might ask though, who did the scholar's body texture?

Scholars were great men indeed.. Mod idea, models and textures are mine.. newb27 is now working on anim and protox, and baseballkid14 is in charge of language.dll

About the university, age 3 model is a bit ''empty'' but age 4 is much better but it'll remain a secret for now

Wow, nice.

Are scholars and diplomats the "same" unit, or do they just look similar in the screenshots?



Sweet baby maizes!

They are two units but they look the same. But as I said these are beta screenshots, they will have diferent textures in final version.

Scholars won't have completely gray hair since they're younger and diplomats will have a diferent robe more similar to the one on the poster at the top.

You can also see the roof of university age 4 at the poster.

baseballkid14 is in charge of language.dll

I am? I didn't know that until now. Do you want me to make it language.dll, xpacklanguage.dll, or both?

No wonder the Romans whipped them, their diplomat is negotiating with a tree!

Serious though, great work - the first decent hair animation I think I have seen. I also love the concept, of brain (tech research) over brawn (initial hit points).

P.S. I have been wracking my brain for two ROTK buildings for Legends of Middle Earth - I suppose you wouldn't want to share the models for the Library??? It would be half of a House of Learning/House of Healing double with full credits given.

That's a scholar..diplomat is the one negotiating with armies... about the model yeah I'd agree to share it.. do you want .gmax or converted model.

Don't worry Master_Foozle, there's plenty of work for you.

Either would be fine. Thanks

to fill some library/university gap you could add a major god statue maybe? ^^
or another one based on minor god like hydra statue for dionysus? cyclops for ares etc.

I almost forgot about this project, are we still going to be releasing it? I really love this mod, it is SO different from the typical mod isn't it? You almost never see a mod based off of peace, usually they are warriors or something like that.

I've just finished new buildings yesterday and I'll try to convert them today. If I fail as I have before I'll send them to Master_Foozle to do it and the mod will be complete. So you can expect it to be released in about a week.

Wow, I never payed any attention to this mod except for when the idea first came up, but it looks good! Need any help? Histories maybe? Also, sort of off-topic, but who posted this?

The mod is almost complete, Master_Foozle is working on the buildings animations now. We may decide to update it later, at least I'd like to do that though I'm not sure which units to include and what buildings to make.

Off topic...I posted the showcase. I know it's not much but nobody else wanted to do it and I'm not really good with codes so I couldn't make it fancy like some other showcases.
