Do you have inserted Χρυσή Αυγή symbolism?

Very nice, but the fortress you deleted was part of the experience to me.

[Kirian]

I think it's just one person.  The man in the background is holding a lantern slightly behind himself, and the shadow in the foreground appears to be his shadow.  You can tell from the shadows along the wooden supports that the lightsource is from the back, rather than from the foreground.

Then why does the shadow have two visible hands, when one of them would have to be behind him/invisible and one above his hand, with a latern's shadow? It also doesn't seem to work out for the light to go that way, and the pile and beam in the middle have no shadow in that direction, either. Nosferatu creeping in the mines is much more plausible

There are twelve people in this picture.  Eleven of them are time-shifted by a second or two in either direction, and one of those people in casting the "extra" shadow.

Seriously, though.  Vashta Narada.  In the shadows.  Stay out of the damned shadows or you're gonna have a bad time.

Another theory: The shadow below his chest is in fact not a hand, but an alien bursting from his stomach!

Edit:Poster text is english.

But transliterated into Greek, presumably using the Symbol font. So a bit jarring for anyone who can recognise the difference between Greek and Cyrillic letters, and were expecting the latter.

I didn't seem to have a cyrillic font and know neither cyrillic nor greek letters too well. The poster wasn't aimed at anything specific, though. More like a mashup of images and colors left from history class to give a certain impression.

And sorry about the Fortress comrade, but trashing it was a necessary step to get it in our great leader's hands...

Edit: And yes, ipofanes, that's what the text wants to say.

I assumed it was a commentary on Greek fascism.  I associate Cyrillic most strongly with Russian, which in turn has a stronger historical association with communism.

Nice!

The base cards aren't there, neither the traditional nor those from Base Cards (at least not with names I could guess). There is a picture platinum.jpg, but that one is empty, and a province.jpg, but that is actually Gardens again!

But otherwise all cards are there, and also this for Knights:


(Is that a signature in the grass on the right?)

[Watno]

That's the knights randomizer

Signed grass was common in the late middle ages and early Renaissance, mainly in Italy and France. </Cliff Clavin>

Just noticed the flags at the left look like the usual dominion symbol in green instead of blue. Good to distract from the ugly spectators below them

I guess i'll not explain it in detail - at the end it'll just make me feel i've put way too little effort in it...

Well if you want to continue putting a little effort into it, here's some quick & dirty real cyrillic letters, using Unicode, not fonts:

Phonetic approximation: Нобьди лейкс Скаут
Character-based transliteration: Нободу ликес Скоут

It's all Greek to me.

I don't know. I feel it's like ragingduckd implied, the sentence is easier to recognize in "greek".

Also as i said it was never intended to be aimed at a certain original, it was more of a collage of impressions. I allready figured that maybe i should have made the sun white and the "D" pure black to strengthen the german element... I like that kind of what's-from-where puzzle, but there's no accounting for taste, i guess...
Anyhow, nothing's perfect, so i guess i'll just leave it be and be content with it. Thanks for the translation, though

Rogue's not related though.

[GwinnR]

Did you know this is Province?:

Did you know this is Province?:

Yes, I mentioned that before it was cool!

[mail-mi]

Anybody else ever notice that the head in the Secret Chamber looks a lot like the one in Harry Potter?

Totally!

[eHalcyon]

Intentional reference? 

[werothegreat]

I still contend there's a bearded lady in the Market Square artwork, though I'm too lazy to prove it to you all right now.

[Kirian]

Intentional reference? 

Can't possibly not be intentional.  Though I don't think we're going to get Word of God confirmation.

Possibly they are each referencing some other common source?

[pst]

It seems like an obvious association for inspiration: Secret Chamber → Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

omg there is a pair of evil-looking eyes lurking int that shelf!

[yuma]

Definitely is a lady. Either a beard or some funky shadowing. I am willing to accept bearded.

[heron]

It's just a shadow. Zoom in.
