Now that i've downloaded it at CFC... nice.

Netscape hates BMPs. Dunno about others...

Try to use PNG format, it works fine.

PS NICE JOB

Check out your PM.

More infos here on Northern War.

can anyone tell me why i still can't see the gifs - all i get are red x's?

Try to use PNG format, it works fine.

Not if Fairline uses Netscape 4.x.

fairline · October 3, 2002, 18:36

I'm using IE.....

Being a bit of a computer thickie, I don't know what PNG format is

A week or so ago I could see the gifs fine but that changed a few days ago

Ooopps... Portable Network Graphic format. I commonly use it working with Paint Shop Pro.

St Leo · October 4, 2002, 18:32

PNGs are a lossless compression format that supports full-colour and paletted images. It also has alpha transparency that works in Opera and Mozilla but not IE.

fairline · October 6, 2002, 10:26

For some reason I can see the gifs again

St Leo and Prometeus, thanks anyway for the info.

Nice units, Fairline! How about some units from the Roman Civil Wars? And some Parthians?

techumseh · October 6, 2002, 14:08

Yes. I have in mind a scenario of the Roman Civil War starting with the formation of the 1st Triumverate. There would be 7 playable civs: Caesar, Pompey, Crassus, the Senate (Cicero), the Gauls (Vercingetorix), the Egyptians (Cleopatra), and the Parthians (Orodes).

techumseh · October 6, 2002, 16:03

I haven't done too much research just yet, as I'm still finishing up my WWII scenario, Global War.

For the Romans, legionaries, auxiliaries (archers, slingers, cavalry). Anything else? There's good artillery and seige graphics already available. I'm intending to use the same units for all 4 Roman factions, but each army in it's own colour.

Gauls and Celts, infantry, horsemen and chariots. Parthians, heavy cavalry, horse archers and infantry. Egyptians, haven't got a clue. Did they still have chariots? Also some sort of oriental infantry and cavalry for minor powers like the Armenians.

Thanks for this!

tanelorn · October 6, 2002, 19:41

Egyptians= Ptolemies (Cleopatra etc.), hmm. Have a look at the http://wwwdbaol.com armies section. I think that the Ptolemies still used scythed charriots, as did the Seleucids. Other units include armored Elephants with boxes on top, late Hellenistic Phalanx, downgraded Companion cavalry, native skirmishers and lots of mercenaries (Libyans, Nubians, Gauls you name it). Plus ultra heavy monster decimeres+. Btw, I have some units to post myself,

tanelorn · October 6, 2002, 19:57

Oops, typo! Chariots. This is a polish Pzl-24, part of a planned Balkan WWII scen.

This is an early attempt on an Italian SIAI S.M.79 Sparaviero, based on somebody else's Ju-52.

tanelorn · October 7, 2002, 17:10

I was reluctant about posting it, because I couldn't remember where I got it from and I had deleted his/her initials,while painting it. It doesn't have the side m/c ports though, they looked aucward.

Pavlov · October 7, 2002, 17:21

You can't link to images on your own computer, tanelorn. Use the 'Attach file' box at the bottom of the 'Post reply' screen.

tanelorn · October 7, 2002, 17:39

I was a bit distracted. How can I make the pics show up on the screen like you do, instead of having just an attachment link thing?

Pavlov · October 7, 2002, 17:44

You get a link when you attach a BMP file, for some reason. That pic you tried to show was a GIF which should show up just right if you attach it.

Boco · October 7, 2002, 19:12

Anyone have a sailing schooner unit, circa 1915? I'm strictly a landlubber, but I think it would look like this photo. If the photo doesn't show, see http://www.tallships.ca/shipping/boehner7.jpg

techumseh · October 8, 2002, 01:38

fairline, they look great! Thanks.

Prometeus · October 8, 2002, 15:28

Ahem fairline, weren't Celts supposed to start using archers only in late Roman times?

fairline · October 8, 2002, 16:02

my source for the celts was 'Rome's enemies: Gallic and British celts' which shows a Belgic archer, 1st cent. BC to 1st cent. AD

- probably slings were more commonplace, though.

BTW, Prometeus, do you have anything on late Ptolomaic armies?

Prometeus · October 8, 2002, 16:12

This book is a must:

Michael Grant, "from Alexander to Cleopatra". RCS editors, here in Italy.

A brief explain of a Ptolemaic army composition and history is available here:

http://www.fanaticus.org/DBA/armies/dba42ab.html

Plus, a lot of interesting links on this webpage, including one about the ptolemaic dinasty.

Another good one is available here:

http://www.theaha.org/pubs/burstein.htm

Prometeus · October 8, 2002, 16:25

But i think this one is even better...

Dr. Nick · October 8, 2002, 22:00

tanelorn, mind if I adapt some of that cavalry for some of my own scenarios? I love that French and British hussar type.

Palaiologos · October 9, 2002, 07:42

Hey tanerlon i have already made a scenario about 1821. I will attach in a few days. My Egyptians have the wrong graphics too. I have found pictures though but i lack a scanner to post them. The Kolokotronis graphic looks good. Your graphics admitedly are better than mine.

Palaiologos · October 9, 2002, 07:46

I finished that scenario two years ago, but i have recently decided to "update" it. I found some orthodox city styles in this thread and i plan to alter them a bit and use them. As i am away from home currently i will post the scenario here in two days.

tanelorn · October 9, 2002, 20:08

I posted the wrong image! The French is a lancier, the horse is Arne's. The British is Arne's too, but I repainted him as Th. Kolokotronis, the old man of morea. The mounted Greek is G.Karaiskakis, the finest general of the Roumeliotes faction won the civil war that was going on among the Greeks, in the same time. Only the greek partisans are trully mine. The credit for most of the other units belongs to other people. I feel really bad! Sorry guys.

tanelorn · October 9, 2002, 20:22

Palaiologos- Great! I'll post more such units then. I have balkan war units too, for all the nations involved, if anyone is interested.

El Awrence- please do!

I'll repost with markings and description.

Jimmywax · October 10, 2002, 03:24

I know that once before I had posted that any new or different units were welcome but I have a smal request for fairline. I would like to see what he could do as far as late 19th century french, british, german, and mexican units. Just out of curiosity.
