If an atlantean smelter made a fancy looking gold ingot with an ornament on it or something, it shoudnt just become a bare piece of gold when added to a babarian warehouse imho Edit: Still I agree, that the different cultures of the tribes would possibly result in diferent looking products of their work. I guess this could be a major problem thinking about trading between the tribes... Edited: 2011-03-03, 12:45 Top Quote

If, for example, an ingot of Atlantean gold has a different value than an ingot of Barbarian gold, then I would say they SHOULD look different. If, however, gold (or any other ware) trades at par between tribes, then IMHO I think they should look the SAME to mitigate confusion, and the extra space required for more complex code and additional graphics, assuming we may some day be able to draw from a single library images that are common between tribes. (in the spirit of Bug Report #536578, Bug Report #672248, and Bug Report #672251) hint...hint Until I can be convinced of the need, I vote for using the same image for all tribes to depict a ware that is common to them.

At first sight and for the most people, how doesn't work in chemistry, the iron maggots look like silver bars. For the most people, if they think at Iron, they have rust (Fe3O, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron%28III%29_oxide) in mind and would say, this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Iron_electrolytic_and_1cm3_cube.jpg) is silver or something. So i would prefer to change the color into brown-red. Also there could be an fourth ore added... :-D But also i had to entitle chuckw for the motto: KISS * Dell X58 * Xeon W3680 @ 3.33 GHz M391B5673FH0-CH9 - 12 GB @ 1.33 GHz R7260X-DC2OC-1GD5 DirectCU II OC SP900 64 GB SSD = root; ST3000VX000-1ES1 = home; 2x WD2003FYPS-2 = pub BDR-208D - * Manjaro Testing Xfce * Top Quote

What? Do you not believe the tribe's smelters could produce "stainless steel"? I did take a try at an oxidized look for the iron, but my first attempts were most reminiscent of copper, so I opted for the bluish/gray/silver hue. For build 17, I will plan to explore some more materials and present them, as usual, for comments. Thanks for your suggestion. I see little people. Top Quote
