See? Kristoffer and I have a special kind of love.

Re: Tir na n\'Og and Eriu
 

Well 'special' IS the word that comes to mind when i think of you, HB http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Tir na n\'Og and Eriu
 

awww that's so sweet, Shovah. I think YOU'RE special too! [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Lips.gif[/img]

Re: Tir na n\'Og and Eriu
 

And here I thought we actually had more information on this. Guess not.

Do we have a firm ETA on when these are coming out?

Re: Tir na n\'Og and Eriu
 

They are on the progress page
http://ulm.illwinter.com/dom3/dom3progress.html
which means they will be in the next patch. But there is no such thing as an ETA for patches.

Re: Tir na n\'Og and Eriu
 

Ah well. I for one am really looking forward to them. In the meantime, I guess I could look into making that Heian mod...

Re: Tir na n\'Og and Eriu
 

After a couple of Fianna heroes, and I seem to remember one or two Firbolg heroes (that died in battles), I finally got Cu! He looks pretty cool, so I really regret that Eriu is not going to last very long in the game I got him in. Here's his picture. Dude's got a harpoon!

Re: Tir na n\'Og and Eriu
 

That guy is pretty awesome. He just screams to be made into a thug. Perhaps make him your prophet to supplement his hit points, then gear him out.

Re: Tir na n\'Og and Eriu
 

I much prefer his graphic to the mess that is the longhanded guy.

Re: Tir na n\'Og and Eriu
 

There's no way to change prophets other than to kill off my current one and wait six months, is that right?

And yeah, I agree, Cu's graphic is very nice!

Re: Tir na n\'Og and Eriu
 

Yes, that's right.

I have to concur that the new graphics that are being released are truly top notch. It's also nice to see that some older graphics are being redone (like the hydra as posted on dom3progress).
Personally, I hope the vampire and vampire lord get redone at some point (The hydra sprites looked fine to me).

Re: Tir na n\'Og and Eriu
 

Vampire and vampire lord stand out in my mind as the weakest sprite in the game. They just look so disappointing.

And yes, the latest sprites (in fact almost all the sprites in the game, but the latest ones especially) are really great.

Re: Tir na n\'Og and Eriu
 

As I said in the encouragement thread I have lots of time nowdays, and will likely redraw some stuff. Feel free to point out outdated and ugly graphics.

T'ien Ch'i infantry comes to mind. And the couatl (got one in my curent MP) is rather unappealing.

Re: Tir na n\'Og and Eriu
 

Now I'm of to buy some weissbier for the evening barbeque. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Tir na n\'Og and Eriu
 

It's T'ien Ch'i's mages and priests which are the drabbest. Just the same guy recoloured. Give the Celestial Master a big long beard, a staff and a cloud to ride on.

Re: Tir na n\'Og and Eriu
 

I'm thinking that some of the more popular older sprites should get special attention, specifically the Niefel and other giants.

Re: Tir na n\'Og and Eriu
 

King of the Deep seems to be DomPPP vintage and could really use a brushup. Same for Shambler Thrall and some of the older R'lyeh troops. T'ien Ch'i as well.

Re: Tir na n\'Og and Eriu
 

Sombre,

The graphic fits him perfect. The reason the spear looks odd is because in Celtic mythology, the spear attacked independently of Lug. I have not received Lug as a hero yet, but I bet the spear is a bonus attack.

Kristoffer,
I was pretty harsh on your take on Tir na Nog and Eriu to begin with. But after seeing the current progress log, it sounds like you are really putting a lot of effort into making these two nations fit the mythologies they are based on. You have Cuchulainn as a hero, I can't be too harsh!

As an aside, Tir na Nog is my favorite nation I have ever played in multiplayer.

Re: Tir na n\'Og and Eriu
 

> I was pretty harsh on your take on Tir na Nog and Eriu to begin with.

I didn't realize. Sorry http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

> Tir na Nog is my favorite nation I have ever played in multiplayer.

Thats good. Now play other nations MP http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Tir na n\'Og and Eriu
 

Yes he has a bonus attack. Since he has no description I hadn't figured out what the hell he was supposed to be - with his weird collection of skills he just looked like a big mess or an unfinished unit to me.

I personally think Tienchi infantry looks ok - I mean it's just basic infantry, it doesn't need that much detail. Some of the pretenders look pretty ropey though.

Re: Tir na n\'Og and Eriu
 

Sombre,

The Celts were really big into jack of all trade type characters being included in their myth cycles. Lug is one of those figures. He forged weapons for the Tuatha, was skilled in combat, had an aura that radiated like the sun. He has many other feats attributed to him as well. You can probably find something on wikipedia for him.

Btw, I am currently learning Spanish and noticed the word "Sombre". In Spanish it means "Shade". Is that where your name comes from? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Tir na n\'Og and Eriu
 

Oh, I play all kinds of nations in MP. I like Tir Na Nog because of the stealth raiding. After reading Gandalf's take on Pangaea, I tried playing them in that manner and fell on my face. With Tir Na Nog I am able to pull it off and have a formidable force at home to repel invasions. Besides, Tir Na Nog is based on some of my favorite mythology.

BTW, Dagda plz!
