Actually i like this plan, savra.
But only one little thing: you can't upgrade poison effect via tech (techs for snakemen which upgrade their poison).

As for stats i will leave that for @Alexander82 for now.

So, no poison upgrade?

The reason I made so many was to try and compensate for the amount we have to replace. I might add more in the future but first I want to get the units on this list done.

Their was a remade image for hunters but that looks made of straw so it could work. I'll set the images next to the corresponding units.
Also made things a bit easier to see and do stats for. They just need the finished stats which I'll wait on Alexander for.

don't worry about that. I prefer a slow start with implementations step by step

As a heads up, this is kinda what I had in mind as a draconian.

But honestly that's an amazing redesign.
Is this close to what you had in mind?

It's looking good so far, use 64 px height, and try to put the body higher up and the shadow below away from it so it looks like it's flying. Also add feathers close to the head, and definitely make it lighter. :)

Ok I'll try something. Btw it does have feathers on its head but I might try something to make it a bit more "feathery".

Scratch my flying snake, we had one done already.

Good thing I took a relook into the scaledfolk topic, here's lynx shafirs one.

Every sub should be based off different culture/styles. For example serpents will be more egyptian-like.

I was thinking to kobolds more like neutral as they were originally designed but some of these designs seem good

I updated the list with new images and the such, kobalds are complete, lizardmen are almost, and you just made the snakemen easier to modify. Nagas I was thinking of Just giving them tridents made of bone, Draconians I based off the Aztec style but changed shield from being simple leather (designed that way to block obsidian weapons) over to wood which can deflect swords and the such better. Plus it's more unique. (Scaledfolk wouldn't entirely copy the Aztec culture.)

Reworked Lamia, made armour somewhat different, in that I added 2 snake emblems on it similar to Egyptian armour that has 2 wings on it. (It usually is worn by high ranking soldiers.)

Will it count as snake sub?

I think it is too dark though, but maybe with some reshading it will improve

It's just a snakemen, the armour is still a work in progress and the scales are supposed to be dark but I could try and make it brighter. The armour is supposed to be more Egyptian like so it's probably going to be gold chainmail (they new how to work metals like gold and such but not steel and iron so well)

When drawing dark metal I tend to make its shading stronger, with more difference between the dark part and the brighter part.

I do have the old image of the lamia if you'd like to see that too.

I think it's a bit better.

Sure. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to make the nagas look.

Any concepts?

Maybe they could be similar to snakemen but with a sea serpent pattern.

Anyway lizards were meant to act as amphibious units

Well, I had a few concepts on my old post on nagas but here's one I did just now.

I realize lizardmen are the amphibious units but the nagas would be like skeleton pirates were lizardmen would be like average skeletons on water. Big speed difference. Also the nagas benefit from snakemen upgrades.

Well for main water subspiece the fishmen would fit even more - after all those are scaledfolks, not reptilans.

I think nagas would be good, maybe fish people as sub so we could expand on it more without so much limits from base race.

Scalefolks are actually reptilian species. Don't make the name fool you 😉

Lizards were actually meant to move at full speed in both water and land. They already are like skeleton pirates.

Naga might, however, be strictly related to water environments (so have high water speed but no land speed at all).
