Thanks, everyone. I've been beyond busy, but I'll have at least some bugfixes done and minor additions/alterations by the end of the weekend.

Re: EA Alchera: Aborigine and Maori-inspired Nation
 

Fixed Linux/Unix compatability and updated Maui - more to come.

One thing I notice looking at the preview pic is that the diver graphic isn't as good as the other units. Can't put my finger on why - the spear being too much of a block maybe? Or something about the attack sprite?

Re: EA Alchera: Aborigine and Maori-inspired Nation
 

Nice sprites and a great concept for a mod. I agree with Sombre that the diver sprite looks out of place. Did you use a 4 armed sprite and crop off the extra arms? That could explain the odd pose.

Re: EA Alchera: Aborigine and Maori-inspired Nation
 

I did the recuitable units first, then the commanders, then the summons, and the Diver was my 1st ambitious sprite. I composited it from the Maenad, Siren, and Battle Vestal, and that's how the proportions got wonky.

It would have been better if I'd stuck closer to the Maenad, but it was a learning exercise. I think the main problem is that the sprite is too tall and probably too wide across the chest (I think the Siren in "mer" form is size 2, but if so, she's a large size 2). Also, in attempting to tone down the Siren's ample bosoms, I think I made the diver appear flat-chested, which, with the already overbroad chest makes her hardly look like a her.

I'll edit that sprite sometime soon.

New (well, improved) sprites are up! :cheers:

New sprite sheet tomorrow (maybe)

The shadow on the flag looks a bit weird. It's like it has a square coming off it at the bottom left.

Also they only get 5 gem income while other EA nations get 6. Their starting army is also a bit odd - it's considerably larger and more expensive than most nations get.

The tangaroa tohunga doesn't have a staff.

I'll just randomly post whenever I spot possible bugs. I could leave them all for one post but I'd probably forget stuff.

Re: EA Alchera: Aborigine and Maori-inspired Nation
 

Really lovin this mod.

I did notice that with the Trickster Hero, the flavor text mentions his legendary luck, yet he is not a lucky unit. My mod skills are a bit rusty so I don't know if you can mod a unit to have luck or not, but I thought I'd post this (possible?) bug.

Keep up the good work!! I credit the modding community for the longevity of this game on my hard drive...you are all awesome :D

It isn't possible to mod a unit to have luck in its profile. However, it is possible to mod a unit to always be lucky in battle, by having it #onebattlespell personal luck.
