Gath, dev diary or something

Huh. Interesting.

Followup questions:
Do you recommend it?
Is it available to the public?
Would it work on XP?

[Kristoffer O]

I do not recommend it, since there is no documentation whatsoever. But it is a quite good sprite program. At least when you are used to it. Gabriella got an intro and used it when she made the Bogarus sprites, and she said she liked it. So it might not be that bad.

It is not available.

It works on linux. Once there was a windows version, but it was never used IIRC.

[Saulot]

Had the answers been yes, yes, and yes I would have given it a try.

Ah well, I'll use gimp to scrape by.

Thanks for the reply.

[Kristoffer O]

Ha! I'm fininshed!

All in all there seems to be exactly 100 new unit entries. A few are different shapes of the same monsters, but still, 100

Soon beta testing will begin. I imagine there will be some balancing to do. The earlier Rephaim might pose some problems, since there are few units to compare them with. Fomorians and Niefel Giants come closest I suspect.

Is there a new member of the 500 Club to compete with Niefel Jarls, Fomorian Kings and Dai Oni?

[Kristoffer O]

Yep there is. Two actually. One is more of a warrior, one more of a mage. And then there are two 400 guys in MA.

The 500 guys come with a price though. They eat a lot. Including population and their lesser kin

Kristoffer:

So about how much time do we have to use our tartarians before they become hmm... less useful?
