[VCMI]Bastion
I think the time has come, after many years (probably 10 xD), on the world came out town, expected by many, the symbol of WoG, now with possibility of VCMI it arises from the ashes. I have the honor to share you the Egyptian Bastion. The concept underwent many changeshas helped me with that a lot of people, and I thank them. Now some facts modification adds:
- New faction (bastion), together with the whole line-up and, heroes, objects on the map, commander etc.
- new unit neutral (scarab), along with habitat on the map
- 5 new artifacts (some not so new)
- Conservatory creatures (Ziggurat protected by sphinxes)
- 2 heroes of campaign (Ama'ka and Ja'Bak)
I guess all the news. Here's a few screenshots:
I would like to especially thank the following people, without whom bastion that was not such a form as now:
Nephretes,
J. M. Sower,
Hobbit,
Kuririn,
Witchking,
Trith,
Mitlandy
I think it's everything I wanted to convey. So here's the link and I wish you have fun.

Oh my... at long last, after all those years it finally was released... the legendary Bastion town who made me hyped as hell years ago! Congratulations, it's even better than Christmas! I agree with fred79 that all people involved in this project should get +QP. Once more guys, excellent work and thank you for the new town.

Many thanks for finally realising this great town! I have a few comments, however:
- The town is too strong. I did some tests against other towns, and bastion always wins. Especially Lvl 5,6 and 7 are too strong.
- Unit specific traits could be more unique, i think. Is there a way in VCMI to add new unit powers? Original Bastion lineup had some nice ideas already, i think, like Ammuts getting stronger with killed units, Overseers generating Gold and the priests stealing spells. I also really liked the elephant and their ability to crush walls while getting more damage from lvl 1 creatures. Such unique abilities would add much to the town in my opinion. Please keep updating and improving this town!

Didn't you forget anyone? Perhaps, the real creators of the Bastion?

Some questions.
1) What's wrong was with elephant?
2) Two lion-based creatures... Is it really good idea?
3) NTG-team is not active, but wog-forum still alive. I think, contact with members of NTG can help. Or they can say stop.
It was their project, graphics, ideas - not random garbage from net.

Did they have copyrighted them?
You want to take away Bastion from players?
There is only town screen graphics, that was made to Bastion team. But it is based not on NTG team files, but only on screenshots freely available on Net and published by NTG. It's fair use.

It is important? There is a difference between the author and the owner of the rights. Rights can be sold. Stop being an author is much more difficult.

Tell me more about me and my wishes. More offtopic for the offtopic god!

I believe that NTG have a better picture and edeksumo can get it. Mutual respect for mutual benefit.

Nobody wants to steal authorship of townscreen. Original TS creators are mentioned in mod info.
If NTG wanted to share better picture, they could done this long time ago. Corwin still thinks it's no time to publish DEF files for TS.
Bianor's Bastion graphics is published, thanks to him, we have portaits and sekhmeth priestess (he was part of Bastion team).
PS Hope, in Bastion mod Bianor as author is mentioned (i am not at home, so cannot look to Bastion files now).

I'm not interested in stealing. I do not like cheating.
On the label is written Bastion. Inside is clearly something else. Give me Bastion or change the name. You can write "inspired Bastion".

More about other people's desires? Are you psychic or medium? I'm not. I would have just asked.

Well, the seventh level Bianor did too. Where is it?

Ok, i run this mod, go to townscreen and see Bastion. How can i call it else? Is name "Bastion" is copyrighted? In polish language "Rampart" is called "Bastion" also, NTG must immideately rename "Bastion" to something else.
PS It's called "Polish Bastion".
PPS In russian dictionaries "Bastion" is "army fortification in form of pentagram. Both polish and NTG bastions are four-corner fortifications, it's already not fit to name "Bastion"

He said it himself on wforum.heroes35.net. No magic or telepathy was used.

Creators of mod decided to redraw Anibises (Bianor Anubises attack animation was not finished).

Well, is name "Macron1" is copyrighted? What will you feel if somebody logs on this forum under the name Macron1? Not your account but similar. With avatar like your. It will be pleased when you are confused with each other?
Is it hard to be polite, not to create trouble?
Macron1 said:

Really? I see [VCMI]Bastion.
[VCMI] translated as Polish?
Say it is just a coincidence. Say that Bastion is the most obvious name for a desert castle. Not a pyramid, not an oasis...

Anyone can call himself "Macron1".

I cannot forbid using name.
