Here's a really quick sprite for a death metal fan and a projectile sprite for one of his weapons. He is a drunk idiot (precision shouold be low atleast) who should probably be armed with Beer bottle (melee weapon with dmg 1, att -1, def -1, length 1), Beer bottle (throwing version!) and since he gives the finger to the enemies of the metal some sort of a fear attack would be cool.
Oh yeah, and he's pretty pale since he never sees sunlight. Should have darkvision 25 or something. |
Re: Awesome
If you come up with ideas, drop 'em in the thread. Chunks of mod code would be gratefully accepted too.
And many thanks, elmokki! That's a great sprite :D |

Here's two more.
First up is the mosher. I'd say he needs to have trample (and possibly size 3) since he is an adept of trampling people in a mosh pit. His only weapon is his long, greasy hair. If he can't get size 3 and trample, the hair should atleast be aoe or have multiple attacks. The attack sprite isn't too good, sadly. It's also awful to make the \,,/ -hand gesture when the width of most hands is two pixels. EDIT: Yeah, scrap trample, hair should just have loads of low damage attacks. EDIT2: The hair could entangle enemies instead of multiple attacks! Second there's the norwegian black metal fan, kirkebrenner, he likes to burn churches. With a torch and hair like that, he should be really careful. His niche is probably too small. Just by the way, all units should have some natural armor. More for more hardcore metal men. |
Re: Awesome
This nation definately needs a KISS, Knight In Satan's Service. A knight without a helmet with one of those KISS masks and an electric guitar instead of a lance.
Just look at KISS there if you aren't familiar with the acronym: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...me_etymologies While I know what an iron maiden is, a literal iron maiden would be cool too. |
Re: Awesome
Yeah, I agree with Gregstrom. Those sprites are awesome. As for metal genres presented, here are my current ideas (This nation might end up of with contrubution from several different people, so I won't exercise too total control over it). But it might be good to give it some structure, like a singer and a fan to "major" metal genres.
Folk ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folk_metal ) - Singers have nature magic & their song attack is prepresented as national spell "Violin solo!" that forces you to dance (fatigue damage?). The fans wear capes and beer gegs and have forest survival. Death ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Metal ) - Singers have death magic and their song attack causes fear (like the wail of the LA Ermor banshees), the fan troop as made by elmokki Trash ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trash_metal ) - Singers have Earth and Death magic. Their song attack causes physical damage. The mosher from Elmokki is a perfect Trasher. Especially if you go with the trampling mosh pitter. Hero ( also known as "power metal" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_metal ) - Singers have fire magic and high attack. Their song attack is "Dragon-Slaying" which causes more damage to bigger targets. Their fans have high morale and might have some sort of giant slaying attack too (with their boffer swords, of course :D ). Progressive ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_metal ) - Singers have astral magic. Their song attack "seven minute whistle solo" causes insanity. The fans are insane and are size 6 because of their massive ego. Heavy - Singers have earth magic. Generic fans, expect for the "die-hard fan" unit which has metallic skin and attidute. Gore metal ( Won't link here, the stuffs pretty gruesome ) - Singers have blood magic and their song in reprensetd as a national spell "Grinding" that causes afflictions. The fans are creepy bunch (much like flagnellants) with open wounds and pillagebonus. Gospel metal ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_metal ) - Singers have priestly magic and can "convert" people with their song attack. Fans are sacred and suprisingly clean for metal fans. I still need a name for the nation, "Guitarroon" won't definately be it. "Kingdom of the Damned" is a nice power metal song I know, but the reference might be too obscure (you heard of Dreamevil? Me neither) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Czbf...rom=PL&index=1 |
Re: Awesome
But but but ... how can you omit Glam Metal? Singers should have glamour (obviously) and maybe air magic with a confusion-causing song attack.
Plus hordes of Maenad groupie fans! |
