Default Re: Black Company Mod

I like the mod's flavour.

That said, I have a leetle wishlist:

1) The icons need transparent backgrounds; dark or very pale units are ok, but coloured backgrounds make it difficult to count troops - and look awful on the battlefield.

2) Lighter infantry grunts with only one javelin, weaker armour and appallingly cheap: the BC books have lots of 'fake Black Company' soldiers around to take the heat, get killed, etc... they don't have to be very tough - they only need black cloaks... maybe even camp followers (like slave units) to act as cannon fodder.

3) Still feel uneasy with forvalaka armies... If they were to be an assassin alternative to scouts (with berserk?), I'd feel better.

4) I got Soulcatcher on turn 2 as someone prophesied earlier. Hmmm. Still reasonably susceptible to missile fire, and hence balanced. But she looks like a Black Witch! Argh, could you please give her a nice dark background at least?

Thanks for giving it such a good try. I'm looking forward to Version 2...
