Yankee Doodle

I've started work on finishing the American side & things are progressing nicely. They still have a few gaps in the unit list & some of the older voxels need some TLC. I've also started on the American buildings & have made a "prototype" barracks to test out some graphical styles but I'm not 100% happy with it yet, once it's finalised tho I can start on the rest of their structures.

I'll be posting more American news as I progress but for now here is their new sidebar.

Not only is the sidebar impressive, but those cliffs as well. Wow, just wow.

Definitely not an actual bridge. Probably a tunnel but closer look reveals that they might just be eye candy and not passable at all (metal poles or something sticking out of the water near the entrance).

Sidebar looks ace, terrain looks gorgeous. US buildings too will probably look pretty damn decent once you nail the style you're aiming for and get to make them all.

I guess you took advantage of voxels.vpl and/or palette edits for the more accurate greenish color scheme for voxels? Fairly sure you can't achieve anything like that with vanilla game options.

Those buildings... they are very uncanny in their resemblance of a certain game.

The "bridge" is solid & just there for eye candy. That map has several bridges that are non-standard angles, as they had to be solid too work I made all bridges like that for consistency.

I haven't used a voxels.vpl or edited the pal files in any way for the voxels, I think it's just the darker & less cartoony terrain that makes them look different.

The buildings are from the game Blitzkrieg, I've been using them for many years now.

Ah, so I was right for the building's origin. Let's hope that Naval will not notice.
