Image on homepage looks dated

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

The image on the frontpage looks a bit dated now, and contains a couple of older buildings which are no longer in the game (barbarian hq, barrier for instance).
Since this is one of the first things people will see when they get to the site, it should be representative of how the game actually looks. I do like that it displays the different tribes in one place with some various buildings to showcase how the game looks. Have someone kept the original savegame, so that a new screenshot could be produced or would we need to construct a similar image to replace it with?

I am open for suggestions, the image can then be updated by myself rather easily.

With suggestions I mean concrete images :)

i made a screenshot of the latest version as a suggestion

[Hans Joachim Desserud (hjd)]

Guybrush88: I appreciate your suggestion, but find it a bit lacking content-wise. (No offense :) )

Looking at the current screenshot used, it features:
- demonstrate all three tribes which each have a distinct look
- borders between the different players, hinting that ownership of land might shift.
- Some clearly military buildings like the towers, and castles/forts.
- Some farms surrounded by fields, hinting at that part of the economy.
- Resources such as stones and trees scattered around
- A small lake, and terrain in different colors demonstrating the varity in terrain.
- A ruin, which granted doesn't do much in the game, but I think it is a nice detail and that it fits in.

I think a replacement should include, if not all, then at least as many of these elements as possible.

Here is my suggestion

Really nice! I suggest adding this to the homepage on the release of the
RC 1 for build 17.

No pusher, just an important question: Will this picture be added now or is this whole bug invalidated through the new design shevonar is working on?

[SirVer (sirver)]

No, absolutely not. I was just a bit constrained on time today. I just pushed it to the main page.
