Just to add another thank you for your incredible work on this. The sprites are stunning, flavorful, and consistent with the lore and historical/mythological inspirations.

every time i look at these sprites i cream dude

Are you saying this looks worse than it does in vanilla or the other way around? That aside though i didn't really change the iconography of Marignon much, their knights already have a chalice on their shield in vanilla..

Why they chose to make all the sprites look a thousand times worse is beyond me. It is a downgrade, if it wasn't it wouldn't be one of the most downloaded mod. Just look at Marignon. What a massive downgrade in quality, this was the major reason for which I changed over, the knights look terrible in the new version and so do the priests. I understand wanting to get rid of the historical vibe with the crosses and the priests but making something which was awesome into cringe is not the way to do it, lol.

@thatguy glad to hear you like em!
@Black Rabbit you can create sprites for this with basically any image editing program like drawpile, gimp, aseprite, etc. You can have a look at the dominions 6 modding manual to see how that is implemented, or just open up this mod and check the DM file.

am not gonna lie...i just randomly subscribed to this randomly. I don't really care that much how most units looks but the first game i booted up with the new sprites i was like "wow" (Ma aphodel) they are beautiful. thanks for the mod

(Also does this do the panko-gods too?)

How do you mod sprites?

Great sprites, only one I don't like the change for is the bride in waiting for bertyos but it isn't a deal breaker

Great mod, love the spritework. I never play this game without it if I can help it

Yeah that is fine, as long as you credit me for it in the mod description.

Can I get your permission to use palette swaps / kitbashes of some of the sprites in this mod for my mod LA Pangea+?

Thank you for this incredible mod, it is a great improvement over vanilla sprites!

Mods can't be added to existing saves, period. Mod list is baked in on game creation.

Sorry im new to sprite update mods.
This works in existing savegames right?

Potentially yeah. I will get back to work on this as is in a couple of weeks, I'm just porting the last remaining dom5 nation i made at the moment.

the warhammer mod

It would remove quite a few but i could, yeah. Is there anything in particular this conflicts with at the moment?

is there any shot you could make one without ID claims? i don't care if it'd lose some sprites

I think some people had some frame drops with it but its not something I ever had to deal with on my end. Regarding the sprites though, there's the same number of pixels in these as the vanilla ones, its merely a matter of shading.

@Sturm - Any performance differences using this? Only ask as they seem far more detailed! Fantastic re-sprites.

To answer our question Sturm, i don't know the total number. And to a relativelly small extend (like giving enkidu a hat or LA tien-chi light cavalery a buckler). But i think you need to analyse SCBM to know if this is doable). Also i'm very eager to see what you have in stock for the news nations.

It seems the Armored Serpent (MA Pythium) uses vanilla sprite when no rider. Same for EA Arco's Wind Rider horse.

You must be kidding mr. Bone, because this overhaul is masterful and well styled.

@Signis Kerman How many sprites would need changes for that? And to what extend?

Terrible sprites with no sense of style. How does this thing have 5 stars is beyond me.

A cool idea if you (or anyone that see that comment) have the time could be making a summon that tweak sprite that need it slightly to allign with the modification of SCBM (like giving enkidu a hat or MA Tien-chi horsemen a buckler). Only unit that gain a piece of equipement or drastically change gear could be changed to diminished the time required to do the submod

The load order decides which sprite is loaded for each unit. Load this mod last to have it overwrite all other mods that make changes to the sprite of the same unit.

Sturm u rock so much

Thank you, i hope you have a good one too. I know i keep saying this a lot but there will be an update to this someday. Stuff just keeps me busy at the moment XD

I just want to thank you for your amazing work, Sturm! I hope you have a good year.

That is sadly not something I can influence

also could be good to give priority to this mod when loading sprite over all other mods activated (if possible)

Planning to! Just got my hands full with studying,porting mod nations and a little secret project atm.

Hello and thank for porting this mods. I hope you will have the time to add the new untis of the news nation one day.

ah, thanks for the quick answer and thank you very much for the great mod. have a nice weekend!

Hey there, nothing stupid about the question, don't worry!
You should use version 1.2. I Usually leave old version in there for a couple months so existing games don't get screwed.

Hi, Stupid question: when i want to enable your mod in the games settings it shows me two versions: 1.1 and 1.2. Do i only need to activate one or both versions?

Thanks) It will only be necessary the next time I am attacked by an attack of modeling, not to jump to a new topic (I want to use them for the results of alchemical experiments and mercenaries)) Otherwise, I still can't insert dinosaurs into the mod, since I first jumped to cities, and then to cultists)

Definitely! Do please mention where you got them from but feel free to use them.

One indiscreet question: Can I use your sprites for modding?

Will be getting to it soon(tm). Still porting mod nations atm but that will change in a while.

Beautiful sprites! Excited to see what you'll do for the rest of the new nations (in time of course!)

I'd love to have only sprites mod, with vanilla flags though.

Cool

Hey there, glad to hear you like the feminie sprites! I'm planning to overhaul pyrene and nidavangar eventually, but fir now am still occupied with porting mod nations from dom5 to 6. Can't give you an estimate when i'll get around to it, since it largely depends on how busy work keeps me.

Regarding separate flags, that can be arranged.

The feminie sprites are sick!!! Any idea when we might see some new sprites for pyrene?

A seperate mod for just the flags would be cool.

Always glad to hear it! Fixed some minor sprite issues.

Absolute banger mod, very gorgeous. By no means am I saying the original art for dominions is bad, but I don't think I can ever go back.

Well you can easily edit the mod to suit your tastes. Just disable the lines that change the new dragon sprites in a local copy.
