Default Re: New Mod: Blood Elves

I think that the sprites look cool, they mostly need cleanup - stray black pixels removed, that sort of thing.

When would be a good time to fork your LA mods into the megamod? I've been making balance notes to myself but haven't yet actually changed anything.

Purely by way of example, these were the notes I had on the previous version:
* Blood Elves
- Some of the descriptive text needs cleanup.
- Notes: Capital is wank (Admin 30), especially for the late era. It could be a tel city (admin 40), at the least. Low capital admin should figure into unit costs, which are too high even for average admin.
- Spells are all reasonable on a first pass.
- Prince of many faces: loses immortality, reduced to fire magic 2, slight statistic reductions, cost lowered to 150 pts.
- Several of these sprites need background cleaning, they've got stray black pixels.
- Cavalry and cavalry commanders should not be animals. Cavalry commanders no longer turn into trees (flavor text update), and are no longer sacred. Cost reduced to 75 gp for Vermillion, 85 gp for Crimson. This means you will actually use the Crimson Commanders as blood hunters.
- Lancer and Light Rider reduced to 40 gp.
- Venus Flytrap is now a summon. Costs 1 nature gem? This unit really isn't that useful, and is pretty well useless if you have to recruit them (because once you're sieged, you can't!).
- Still considering what to do with sacred heavy inf. and commanders that turn into trees. Needs playtesting. At present they are hugely expensive so recruiting them everywhere seems almost irrelevant. Is there some occult significance to the #s 101, 122 and 158?
- Ritualist cost reduced to 90 gp (and he's still overpriced, compare to the minister of magic from MA T'ien Ch'i.)
- Blue Druid reduced to H2. Cost lowered to 200 gp. Considering making them capital only.
- Green Druid reduced to H1. Cost lowered to 250 gp (healers can cost as much as you want.) Considering making them capital only.
- Archdruid reduced to H3, given an AWE random and a 10% chance for an AWEN random.
- Lord Militant should probably be a hero?
