Age of Wonders Factions

I have already thinking about a AOW mod (based on shadow magic), but I have some problems with graphical aspect (I am very bad with that). For me the Magician (Artica in this case?) is a pretender, not a unite.

I think frost queen are a sacred unit, in AOW, they are described to be direct Artica's creation/children.

Well, I don't think that you should rip out the unit graphics from a retail game, that is really not very nice. [..and of course illegal]
If you want new unit graphics, you can use miniature photos [well that isn't legal at all, but at least you won't use sprites from a retail game], or find other ways to get some.
We are planning to use miniature photos, however since that isn't very legal also, I am now playing with the idea to use Civ 3 user made units as basic images for the units. It can work, I've already made some tests.

I have made some graphics for modding AOW, but the result is hum... see in the attachement

Some reflexion about modding AOW (and no another graphics ):
-The human of AOW are very different of all faction in dominions. They use powder (canon, mousketeer), air galley (very hard to modding that). It is a different nation, with 2 or 3 era (early era before the conquest of the valley, with a style very barbare and probably no powder or air galley, middle era during the war of the star, and late era whith the Phobius Empire).
-the lizard men are far primitive than C'tis. They aren't have great mage or priest, but have a great variety of strange and amphibious troops (frog cavalery, siege weapon on giant tortoise). Physically, they are more like the lizard slaves.

You can use the graphics of the Ice Prisoner pretender in my old dominion 2 extra pretenders mod
