hmm the story behind the nation is still a but vague to me but I agree the game play will be good and different compared to the nations we already have. We'll just need to balance the freespawn against the dominions 3000 nations..

giving freespawn ranged weapons might be potentionally overpowering.. probably should be reserved for relatively race spawns.

PS I think you should see if you can think about other fitting colors except the fleshy look you are using before. The units looked great, but if all troops are like that it might be a bit.. well.. hard to distinguish on the battlefield.

But I don't know enough of the background to know if you could also use other colors

i'm gonna use more black and earthy colours for elite units, think of it like LA agartha's Ktonian dead, flesh and steal, but i will do other stuff.

how about festering corpses spewing puss, they could be plague carriers and it gives me an ecuse to throw in some green and yellow?

hey your party.. do what you want.. I'll help you with what you need help with but it's your idea and you decide what you want in...

Some of my "Hellgate" sprites have a sci fi look to them. You may want to use them for an undead nation.

yeah that would be cool, i'll send you my email.

You can find them on this page - here.

okay then, with the combination of me and amos' work, ermor should be definately be done this weekend, unless god forbid i die or some other not very nice event occurs.

Nikelaos · #8 September 27th, 2008, 04:35 PM

also amos love your sprites. I'll make a few look a bit more thematic for the nation, then get aezeal to mod em in lol.

Done this weekend? Ermor has like a zillions spawns that need to be replaced.. if you give me a sprite and the unit number it should replace I could do something about it though.

What are your ideas about putting those freaks in space though? Can they live in the cold, vacuum of space, do they become something else? are they mostly inactive in space?

Nikelaos · #10 September 27th, 2008, 05:35 PM

come on there aren't that many spawns, besides i already made a start however long ago and off course it's the weekend, meaning i'm bored and need something to do all day.

Edit

they don't become something else in space, they just stay as weird corpses floating in ZG, speaking of which can you script normal units to autocast spells, if you could then we could script them to autocast blink in space so as to simulate floating uncontrolably in ZG. apart from that i don't see why something which is already dead needs to adapt to survive in space.

edit: wtf is that flag?
