A look back: Greek Farming City

Here we are again. This time we take a step backward into the time when boats were still large(That trireme is the same one from my previous entry except bigger.). What catches your attention most in this shot is probably the walled water. That was either made with some special tool not available anymore, but most likely it's made by elevated terrain. It appears the editor was supposed to have the size changer(Varied size in walls), but it was then put in the X-pack instead. Terrain-wise we're seeing an early grass type and the red-and-white tile was the Atlantis tile of it's time. Moving on to buildings. The two buildings on the right are granaries which have the appearance of the ones from Age Of Empires. In their final version, you can see it was almost completely redesigned. The military academy here not only has those trees, but the recurring flag design. This flag would be found on almost every original greek building. Though now the flags look different, that same icon can be found on the news as well. The tower, once again has the previously mentioned flag and shares it's model with the norse watch tower. ES made a new model exclusively for the Greek variation later on. Farms, like the markets have also had many versions. Here we see a sort of corn crop type farm which was emulated by modsmith a while ago. The only nature units here are the pine trees which seem more realistic than the ones we have now. Rather than the current type, these trees shared mostly the same shape and were variated in colors. That was changed so now the trees had variated models and the same colors which is basically the opposite. Finally we have the human units and goats. Goats stayed the same except for bigger, possibly "longer" models. The prodomos was already seen before, but the hippikon is a new unit. The last unit is the ballista. The ballista's model has been the same even till today but it's texture was different and appears more detailed than now. Like always, make sure to come back for more later.
