GameSpot has posted a developer diary written by Big Huge Games's Dave Inscore regarding the new art direction of their upcoming Strategy title, Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends. Here's a taste:

The team looked to a true genius for help: Leonardo da Vinci. An idea surfaced for drawing inspiration from da Vinci's vast, brilliant library of work. Taking it even further, the team proposed to have his work form the backbone of an entire race in the game. Programmers, designers, and especially artists all nodded heads in agreement. It was just the creative spark that was needed in order to satisfy the desire to push beyond "traditional" fantasy.

Pretty interesting stuff. Check it out!
