Retro Graphics Mod

[samspackman]

This is a mod I have been working on for my own use, but thought I would put up here as well for others.

Shadow Empire has always had a retro scifi vibe for me, so I have collated images of scifi book covers and art from the 70s and 80s to mod in pictures for the vidcom and card graphics. Surprisingly to me, almost all of the art I found matched up quite nicely with the text of the cards. (Some of those attempts were successful, some less so.)

At this stage, this is only for the base game and Oceania. I have not been able to locate a list of the graphics for Republica. If that is released I will do them as well as I really dislike having mixed graphics show up lol!

*full disclosure - all I did was take Pymous' mod and swap out the pictures using Paint.net.

That's a good site! There are a lot of resources out there - my source art folder has around 2,000 images in it!
