That's not me!

The blurring was done to all sprites when we went from dom-ppp sprites to dom2 sprites. About 1000 units from dom-ppp were resized and blurred. Since it is boring to redraw an existing sprite, I have put more energy into making new stuff. The uglies sprites were remade, but there are still glaring misses. Some Machakan units got fixed, but most are still ugly.

Longdeads and soulless! They'd be no 1 on my list to update the sprites for, since they come up so often. Actually, apart from vampires, I think they are the only sprites which bother me.

Umm... Shadow Vestals look like blurry blobs. I would argue that they are more ugly. I love them, don't get me wrong, but I never zoom in on them for sure.

I agree with Linglich. Vestals are ugly


>the AI should go first

Unfortunately for you I only do sprites and descriptions and stuff. If I would try to touch the AI the game would probably go nuts (actually It would do nothing, since I would not be able to compilate the game). JK is working at his daytime job, and doesn't have much spare time atm. What spare time he has is not used on the AI.

Kristoffer O:

You could consider giving someone from community access to that. You would have both time to do different games and decent AI Of course it just sounds easy and giving access can be hard. But I hope that AI in your next project will be much better Preferably with one person working just on that

Huh? The code, or the AI?

> Preferably with one person working just on that

If one person was working only on the AI there would be no work on the game, since we are only two and I can't code anything beyond the rudimentary adding of data

Fortunately the new project is of another kind, and the need for a strategically powerful AI is limited.

Thanks for the tip. I made some longdeads today. Since I've done some undead Rephaim it was not too much of a bother to make a longdead template and rework the longdead infantry.

Heh, seems the world of dominions is a degenerating one. The longdead are slightly taller than todays living people
