Hey everyone
Here's a quick update to showcase how the new African Campaign is progressing. I've made some great progress and I'm really keen on the direction it's going. Have a look at the city below and let me know what you think.
New Maps
The new campaign will feature a range of areas across African. You'll play across vast deserts, build amongst mountain-ranges and along the northern coast. I've changed up the visual style and I hope you guys like it.
Regional Building Variants
Being so far away from Italy, your Roman styled buildings have undergone a transformation. While they are still distinctly Roman, they've taken on a new color pallet and decorated with a range of African centric flora.
Here's an example of how the Artist Studio looks now.
All of the original buildings will use these region specific designs when playing in the African Campaign. When you're playing in Sandbox Mode, the visual style of the buildings will be determined by the map itself. All of this is still under development.
Achievements, Stats & More
With the new campaign comes a range of new scenarios and associated achievements. You'll still be able to unlock most of the old achievements in this new scenario since they are tied to buildings and resource generation (and you'll be able to build all of your old buildings in this new area)
New Buildings
Now that all the existing buildings have been adjusted, work on the new building chain has begun, I hope to have some new buildings to showcase over the next few weeks!
Like usual I'm keen to hear your feedback and thoughts, feel free to create topics on the community board and i'll get back to you.
Cheers
