More changes:

The ballista is no more. In its place, are the Scorpion [1] and the Springald [2].

@Super7700: have you seen the Battle of San Romano trilogy by Uccello? his paintings should help you well in designing the units. I think you might this picture below useful for guiding how to design the Italian crossbowmen of Venice:

Have you seen what fallahin look like? when I get back from Taiwan, I may edit the Persian male villager skin. You once complained that the North European villager skin I suggested was too middle class. Actually, the Indian villager skin you're using for the Muslim factions is all too middle-class in appearance.

Revised icons to Muslim techs:

I think this would serve as a nice icon for Zakah:

And how about this as an icon for centralisation?


By the way, do you think centralisation and Divine Mandate should be researched at the senate instead, because having centralisation at the Noble's Court is kind of contradictory since the concept involves taking political power away from the nobles? Also they are both political theories based around the central government or leader.

No, the nobles' Court is fine. It's about reforming the nobility to form a nucleus for a modern society!

Testing it I realise that the picture I have shown you doesn't work that well. Could you help find a good icon for centralisation and test it on the iface building techs file to see if it looks okay as a tech icon?

I shall be posting another icon to the wiki soon. Look out for it.

LATEST Update: Wiki

I have been experimenting with the wiki archives for Age of Darkness and Rise of the Moderns, looking for a means of creating a sufficiently compact yet useful reference sheet to allow for easy modding decisions. Now that I have found a way to do it, I will start implementing the new formats to all wikis I am in control of, including Rise of Kings Wiki.

Check out Ambrogio Lorenzetti's Allegory of Government series. I think it'd make great artwork to use in Rise of Kings (in the loadup screens, mostly).

This consists of good government:

A quick note to y'all:

I have now assumed control of Rise of Kings! to distinguish it from Super7700's own mini-mod, it is now known as Rise of Kings: Chronicles.

Just to let you know, you can get a ModDb account and take over the Rise of Kings page if you want to. I'm not sure if it is possible to transfer ownership of the page to someone else, but you can still post pictures, news, articles and downloads etc.

Thanks, but not yet; it is still too early.
