As far as the stats/cost are adjusted correctly there is no too much or too less, also this version is made to fit the existing army

Those are 4 variants for the paladin

As a design leader I won't accept anything that doesn't fit the race as it is so keep that in mind when making your versions.

There are already too many graphics in game that need rework

I don't like paladin looking like imperials.
he must look different. Like completely.

Change helmet (or even better remove it and make normal head) and armor look at least.
Make bigger hammer (preferably 2-handed one because with current he can only hammer in nails)
Change his postion.

But this is what a stereotypical paladin looks like.

If you want something different can you provide an example?

Not exactly.
I want our paladin to look completely different from imperials.

Different armor, different weapon, different position.
Warcraft one is an example.

Paladins are fighter clerics who decided to help allies with not only their spells but with their weapons.
He is even trainable at church.
Please no generally-looking paladins.


Also actually i have same claim to templars - they must have different from normal units look. No similar parts.
Because otherwise it will look too monotonously.

Of course not, we already agreed to keep them as different units
So

1)This is a more special unit.so I feel no need 3 levels like a regular knight.
I Don't know what stats have in mind. But if a 6 turn knight with healing.
Than easy get too costly and useless to research 3rd level
(like uruks - first lvl is enough effective and due to its cost 3 is spammable you don't research the 3rd lvl .)

In multiplayer more likely train or research same special units/tech but no time and buildings to research all 3 lvl for knight, for light cav and horse arch too if get so ) instead I make a Drake knight, a barbarian or same imperials.
And prefer more fantasy units when get in.
So for special units 1 upgrade is enough imho. (for humans)
In case of Templar and every mounted version u Cant benefit them.

And u need to spend gems for what never or rarely use/can use.

2)
Image.
If it had no that cross I would not guess is a Templar.
Too similar to warrior.
Sorry I meant the brown leather makes it to common look even for first level.

3)Paladins are not part of imperial group/ army!
No same monoton look.

[/quote]

1) the templar will be the basic version and with the new upgrade system you won't need to use a specific tech to upgrade it

2) yeah. It was meant to merge better with the existing army. I was thinking to change the heads tough

3) this is not what I said. The units in game are meant to fit well together (at least in the same army). The inquisitor has the same armor type and that is what a heavy armor looks in this game.
I'm not saying we can't make changes but we should fit with a certain style.

When I started making images I was taught by people like @Stratego (dev), @COOLguy and @patroid how to make those.

I started editing the existing images and this is how I've learnt the style that is fit for the game. Only then I started with my original designs because I learnt what was fit for the game and what wasn't.

When I say that a design doesn't fit the game it doesn't mean that the image is bad but only that has a different style.

Re: Paladin

I don't like templars and paladins by you, @Alexander82 because they look waaay too generic. just changed parts and - bang! - you got new unit.
And both templars and paladins are not a part of main armies - they must be trained in church and basically they are warrior monks.

Or you want to redesign human's healer, Battlemage, Drake knight, Gryphon knight, Poison archer to have same look as human warriors and imperials?
Because they look different from imperials and normal warriors of humans.
That you want? Monotonously looking armor?

Personally i don't want that. As well as many other forum members.

That's now what I was saying. Moreover all these units you mentioned aside the poison archer were made by myself.

All these units started with existing material

As I said before it was only to make the human army look more coherent

The idea is that when human smiths makes improvements they make all the units benefit from these improvements

Some units like warmages use specific equipments

Other units, like drake and gryphon riders are special units and have their unique look

Templars and paladins in every kind of rpg are generally equipped as normal warriors but bring their own god symbols with them, that's why I wasn't varying too much.

I want them to use specific equipment as well.
This is fantasy and they must have something unique.

They are from rich church and they can allow themselves better equipment than generic recruit and generic elite soldier of empire.
With some special enchants as well from their own enchantments.

Paladin and templar are also special units and must have unique look.

As for "Every kind of rpg" - only in age of empires and other historical based ones.

Just to make it clear...

Imperials are not just some generic soldiers but are to be considered the highest ranks of knights with the best equipment

Anyway if you want to make new unique images you can go on but they need to blend well among the rest of the units

We might have to separate these two, Templars are different from Paladins.

Nope.
All this so paladin will NOT look like the rest generic imperials with changed like in LEGO parts.

Warcraft image was a reference how paladin can look originally.

If he will look like imperial (dangerously close to) than we will end like this:

I want a paladin that will not look like imperial unit with changed parts (shield, sword, that tunic...)
Or otherwise he will look too Agent Smit like.

Just change his position, reflect him so he will look to different way and change helmet from imperial and it will be fine for me.

Still needs some work on head.
But it is enough to look different from imperials.

Do you know where people look at firstly?
Head, position, big details (like shield in this image). In that order.

He has different from imperials shield already, mirrored position and has different head (just a head without helmet). For human psycholodgy that is enough.
