With regard to the wine, what about putting it to amphoras? I don't think the Romans had bottles.

Here are my comments on your new wares as they stand currently: The fish graphic is very good at this state. I don't feel the icon has to be exactly like the ware image on the game board as long as both are recognizable and convey the same idea. I prefer your previous graphic for the coal, (i.e. the one that resembles the other minerals.) IMHO the attempt at a pile of coal fails to convey the idea. Nice work on the marble. As for the column, don't feel obligated to change it, but if you want to give it a try, go for it! I like the idea of using amphorae to represent the wine. I think it would make a more easily identifiable image for the wine. So, if you want to take a crack at it, I'd like to see what you come up with. I see little people. Top Quote

I think its color may be a little too dark. Although yours reminds me of this style: Etruscan amphora. I would make the bottom of your image narrower. Virtually all amphorae taper in at the bottom to some extent. Some had pointed bottoms to make securely stowing them in ships for transport easier like this Roman one. Of course, it would be difficult to stand this on a table. I'd like to see something closer to its color. I do like the design of your basket , but here, too, I think we could use a lighter color. Something approximating the wicker in these images perhaps. Good work as always. Keep it coming! I see little people. Top Quote

They are now in the trunk. You may certainly continue to refine them, but I was satisfied to use the current versions in place of the old graphics. Fine work! I see little people. Top Quote

I'd like to see the basket in a lighter color, however, and bump up the texture a little especially on the inside surface. The way it is now, it almost looks like pottery (at least to my eyes). Definitely heading in the right direction. I see little people. Top Quote

Being no programmer, I apologize for all my suggestions that imply undue workload and for other misjudgements due to lack of expertise or relevant skills. I am on Win32, have no means to compile, and rely on prefabricated distributions (Thanks to Tino). Top Quote
