All that is left now (I believe) are stats and an image to produce the unit as from what I understand it randomly generates one of the four, thus we will need an image for the icon to select them to build. Is this correct? Maybe for the image, we could make a Roman helmet or shield? Or perhaps the l...

And ranged:

OK, so finalised images for melee units are these ones:

OK, apologies for the delay. I will move my army North, to white fields and take its frozen citizens into the protection of the Mutelands.

Absolutely. Positioning troops is crucial.

How's this?

If it's still available next turn, I will. I like that map, just not as much as Vvardenfell.

I choose vvardenfell. Yeah, great idea DOOM... ;) DOOM also forgot one crucial rule: no player may have more armies than their teams number of territories. This is for 2 reasons: 1. It prevents a losing player from getting to a near-unbeatable state by raising multiple armies in their last territory...

Yes, anything that involves team battles needs a contingency plan to account for the possibility of being teamed up with me.

I think this is ready to be added to the voting list....

YAY! You're in, this is now closed :) So, we have: First_Speaker, DoomCarrot, Hardeep, and RiverRaider. I honestly don't care to much what the teams are, but what do you guys think? I'm not fussed about teams, but if we were to go on political standings, DOOM and I are Communist/Socialist... Makes ...

Also, re-reading the gameplay rules, I realized there was no explanation of what happens if you have 2 armies in a territory (both yours or one ally and one yours). Each player may only control 1 army at a time (obviously). If a territory gets invaded and there are more than one defending armies, a...

Agreed. Spent a little time making some minor tweaks and got to this stage. Thoughts?

Esley?

....

LOL!

LOL

Just... One... More....

Any more takers?

And the swordsman...

Not 100% happy with it but wanted to post to see if I was at least on the right track. Personally I think the sword is too thin. Any other suggestions?

Yeah, good point.

OK, here are the reworked Roman Auxiliaries. Let me know what you think. I have made the cav and the swordsman 32 × 34; I hope this is allowed.

Looks great COOLguy! Thanks for fixing it up.

Roman Auxiliary 3 (Light Cav with spear)

I would've liked to make the spear longer but... Such is life.

Roman Auxiliary 2 (skirmisher).

How's this look?

I added a bit to the helmet (including team colour) and lengthened the skirt.

Are we just waiting on stats/abilities for this? I think Doom's stats were pretty good.

Patroid's art was excellent so what's the hold up on this one?

Started on artwork because I think this is a great idea!

Any suggestions welcome, standby for cavalry, skirmisher and footsoldier drawings.

hmmm, I had a look in my recent games now. There are two games still running: One that I lost, the other I have withdrawn. It seems that there was a problem with me withdrawing so I was kicked instead. I think this is what happened to me also. I withdrew from many games, then I dropped rank. But I ...

That's perfect!

At first I was going to advise against white fields as only one player can build castles , but if we get rangers voted in, that map will be AWESOME for hiding rangers in all those trees.

Great work!

To help illustrate the above example, I have scribbled all over Doom's lovely picture (sorry).

LOL RAAAAAAAGGGGGGGE!!!! But seriously, is this worth consideration? Daniel, is this easily programmable? Would anyone use it (other than me.... :twisted: )? I'm not exactly sure how you would produce units with this ability (maybe a "disguise" unit could be made by a TC and left in the TC...

Agreed

OK, this is the best I could do without making it look weird. If anyone wants to fix it up, you have my blessing to do so, otherwise here it is.
