If the walls in the shots sloped it would be dead wrong for the era. I would expect inner buildings to be lower, as anything over two stories would be rare (like churches). High-gabled roofs would be well within 11th-century construction techniques, though very expensive (the effort to cut long beams would be on par with those of shipbuilders). Magic could help, but I don't forsee any magic-powered power tools or mages by the name of Vila Not bad, in all, though the ships look to be riding about 1m too high in the water (assuming fully unloaded), and something about them looks out of place, though I haven't yet put my finger on it (they're pre-artillery, so a high forecastle and aftercastle wouldn't be necessary, but the mast placement doesn't look right. At the very least there should be a lateen rig for early carracks (a.k.a. dao's), or a gaff rig for very late ones, but then that's getting into schooner territory. The jib sail helps, but that came late in sailing (replaced the bowsprit and spritsail to help run closer to the wind). The one-piece masts imply early construction, as well as the bluff bow (yes, I know I'm overanalyzing).

My nick is Windcatcher for a reason

I think the reason ships are out of place are because of the way the metal blends with the wood, I mean all of the metal is rusty, and it has a weird frame.

The city looks pretty nice - as do the ships. Looks like I may have to log on to live and see for myself sometime. My 70 necro has not been played in months...

I'm getting ready to receive my 3D package (Truespace 7) in the mail next week and I'll be real busy making lots of medieval stuff for WC

Sweet! We'll have to work out a way so people will have an easy way to find and make use of whatever you make. As a side note, I've finished skinnng my elf model (pathetic, but workable) and I'm trying to get an importer into OpenZone that will directly read the .an8 file and export to .s3d.

That city shot is reminisient of EQII , wasnt that like the worst game to come along in awhile?, Remember all the pretty graphics and suck game play? I guess EQI has finally been effected by it ....I can allready hear the sound of a vortex suction as it quickly goes down the norrathian drain to end up alongside EQII.

I still cant believe I went out and bought that damn game when it came out , I still have the CDs tacked to the wall in my computer room for some serious EQII target practice ....

BTW , I am in the beta and I tell you . It is like day one of development for the expansion with all the misery that can possibly befall one game so .....It should be on live tomorrow

I really can't believe anybody would buy these new expansions - Live is so un-EQ nowadays, it's crazy. It's all sizzle and no steak.

See the title !!! this is the NEXT extension "Prophecy of ro" !
Not actual extension in eq, you can't see it.
