Title: Quick question for HT or those in the know.
Post by: Melvin on November 05, 2011, 09:57:16 AM

I was sitting in a tower one day, looking around and I thought to myself, "Self, where do you think they came up with the models for these various buildings?"

So, are the various buildings in-game modeled after real-life locations, or is all of this simply a vision of a disturbed mind? (Lost my train of thought for a second.)

Also, what model is the man ack at our bases based upon?

 :salute

Good question.....I am curious as well.

My question is about sounds and whether they are sourced from a resource pool of royalty free sounds.

I ask this because I heard the Aces High "tank starting" sound in the show "Lost" when they flash back to Iraq.

BUMP

Still interested in this, perhaps if it's first page on a weekday...

Or not.

The layout, number, and orientation are all just gameplay considerations, but individual building models are based off of period architecture/style (in a general way, mind you). This is especially true of the megastrats, where time and effort was put into even the colors of the roofs from above when you drop bombs on it, etc.
