Modding: like this?

[Nerfix]

Well the unit itself is a summonable sacred ethereal fireshielded non-living thingy with nasty close attack...

Not much HP though.

But good to know that it would work. I'll proceed with my project. Coming next: the amazing transformation of Ulmish units. The Master Alchemists drank too much mercury and got replaced with the Sky Smith. Yay!

How do you define how much pretender costs in points?

Use #gcost , it's read as "design cost" when pretender tag on.

Righty then.

Would this work?

You don't need to have "" with numbers. Other than that, it looks like it should work. However, boost his hits a little. He is a pretender, and a Smith, after all.


Also, you don't need to define *everything*. Leave out the #spr and #spr2 if you don't want the picture to change, #noundeadleader is not needed unless you are modding something to lose that ability, etc.

spr's are empty because I don't have any sprites.

BTW, I forgot the #clear and #clearspec in that pretender.

I would say Sky Smith is more a Titan than a mere mortal. That would mean that either Son of Niefel without a shield or a Titan with a hammer could be used as sprite with some recoloring. Or, if you do want to keep him as human, maybe resized Son of Niefel with different color would be enough.
