It's by Carcoma, not by me ^^

I only filled two frames for mill if I recall correctly and publish it. So I can't take the credits for it.

@jvgs1990: Portuguese have a cool mod, too. You can find it here .

It would be nice to use this same set for the Portuguese.

I've fixed the Imperial Age University.
I couldn't even see what you mean about transparent pillars on the Imperial Age Town Center, so that will remain unchanged.
Thanks for the pointers.

After experimenting, I know of something that 100% works: copy&paste SLP 28319 and rename the copy to 28318. Then you copy&paste 28322 and rename it to 28321. I've tested it and it works.

Also, not to yank your chain again, but the sides of the two bottom-most pillars for the town center are transparent. It's not as noticeable as the floating doors and banner that the university had, so you can probably leave it alone for now.
MisterLean 9 Jul, 2018 @ 10:56am 
If you zoom in on the center of university in the screenshot, there's a door and a banner that realIy shoudn't be there. In the base game, there's a seperate SLP for the animated banners on the European universities. Those SLPs are still in the mod, but they obviously don't fit since you're using different universities. Delete SLPs 28318 and 28321 and the problem should go away. If that doesn't work, keep those SLPs but leave them empty. I think one of those things should work.

I'll have a look at the Aragonese walls and towers, maybe the Castle, thanks.
What's the problem with the University?
MisterLean 8 Jul, 2018 @ 6:47pm 
Have you looked at the Aragonese buildings?

It wouldn't be a perfect fit, but the towers and walls would work better than what's already in use.

Oh, and you might want to fix the Imperial age university. There's a rather, uh... "obvious" problem. You can even tell from just looking at the preview screenshot.

I still think you could remove the unnecessary SLPs. Not to decrease the file size, but for those (like me) who want to mix and match different IA mods, if you get my meaning. For example, I'm subscribed to two different IA mods for the Teutons. I like the buildings more in the first but it still uses the vanilla walls. The second, on the other hand, actually has a different type of walls.

I could even do it myself and pm you the modified files.

@protectorarchangel: I agree about the Castle, it looks a bit weird.
I haven't come across a better one yet though, and I won't attempt to change the slp file, I'm not good enough with graphic-editing software to mess around with the actual images.

However I'm updating all my mods regularly whenever I find a building that I like better, be it something big like a Castle or a University, or just a Lumbercamp.

As a matter of fact, the Spanish will receive a new Lumbercamp soon, and a really spectacular new Wonder (I'm not so impressed with the current one).
If I find a better Castle until then, I'll replace it, too.

Regarding using this mod on Campaign mode: you should be able to do that, as long as the 'Independent Architecture' data set has been enabled for the campaign.

This mod can be terrific If you change the castle a little bit cause It's like it has been built by 3 different architects that quorrel with each other and replace the old wall and towers. Finally, could you please also fix it so we can use this mod even on campaign mode?
Gaius  [author] 8 Jul, 2018 @ 10:27am 
It's virtually impossible to find out who created a specific graphic ... most graphics are taken from other mods,where they have been implemented after having been taken from another game et cetera.

Very, very few modders create their own graphics.

That's why I just pointed out in the description that credit for the graphics goes to their creator(s).
Regarding the screenshots, they are to give people a general idea ... subscribe to the mod and play the civ, then you'll know what all the buildings look like.

As for 'cleaning up' unnecessary SLPs: I can't be bothered. The file sizes are tiny, so they don't take up disc space, and they don't disturb me.
MisterLean 7 Jul, 2018 @ 7:11pm 
It's not a huge deal, but could you "clean up" the mod file as well? There's a lot of slp's from the base game that serves no purpose, i.e stone walls, fortified walls, feudal age buildings, etc.
MisterLean 7 Jul, 2018 @ 6:53pm 
You might want to add the creators' names in the descriptions of your mods. I'd imagine that people would like to know the names of the original creators so they know who to thank. Also, it'd be nice if you added screenshots of ALL the buildings rather than just a few.

That being said, I didn't know about this specific building set up until just now, so uh... good on you for uploading it.

Gaius  [author] 7 Jul, 2018 @ 6:13pm 
Yeah, I didn't like the way the Spanish buildings looked at all ... and giving them the Italian buildings, like some mods did, wasn't a solution either.
So I've looked around until I found something that looked appropriate.
These buildings are mainly taken from the Wololo Kingdom Architecture Showcase mod, which has been created for User Patch.
I'm glad you like it, enjoy.

Finally a Spanish architecture that has real look of Spanish architecture! With white houses! Was that so hard, my God ?! White houses! A little Spanish-style church! Thank you!
