One thing thou', the AoI text doesn't go that well with the background. Perhaps changing it to something like this instead? :Otherwise I can always change the color of the text. :)

I would like someone (Hive, BJ, Catlord, whoever) to please consider editing some backgrounds out of these images. I think they would make great backgrounds. They have to be shaved down a bit, probably. I dont have Photoshop, so I cant make cool text or any fancy editing.

A nice naval theme

This could be a DaVinci theme

A grand naval battle. SWEET!

A very cool looking castle with a snowy winter/north theme. Fantasy element may be a little to strong here though.

Cool picture, dunno if it is can be worked into a good background, but I thought I would throw it out there.

This is much better than mine! Rar-ify pls? :)

Btw, Ryo... I really like some of those naval pics - but you can keep your fantasy stuff.... :p

Now... if you find yourself bored one day, BJ - I sure wouldn't complain if you made a template on this form as well:

Now of course, I have no idea how time consuming it is to make such a template - if it's too much, please do tell me... :eek:o
 
Now what we need is a random function in patch 1.09 to pick one of this beautiful picture amongst a list at start... :D

Try again, added a gradient over the picture. :cool:

Here's a little bg_start. I wanted to insert an EUII logo at the top instead of the thing in the corner, but couldn't find a good one to inset... anyway, here it is:

Nice backgrounds! Brings back memories from my moding of the skins back in January 2003 :). Those were the days..

Game Loading/Starting Game Screen

Game Menu
menu2.txt


Selection Menu

Multiplayer screen (not really useful but it looks nice)
multi2.txt


Tutorial (same here)

I feel a tad emotional, how things have changed since I was one of the first people to start changing the look of the loading and start-up screens. ;)
