Aztec units that needs a redesign IMPLEMENTED

Post by Badnorth »

I think that Units - Mezoam Swordsman, Spearman and Priest needs a redesign. Their appearance looks wierd in my opinion. I could do it but @Gral.Sturnn do you want to be the person to redesign them? it's your units after all.

i had an agreement with Gral.sturnn at the Discord server. i'll do most of the redesign and he will finish it off with some special design. Hopefully we can do great.

I made it quicker than expected @Gral.Sturnn.

Here is the redesigned version of these Aztec units.

What do you think @Endru1241?

i also propose a change name for Mezoam Swordsman, he's not really using a sword and i think it can be confusing for players. Maybe we could use names like - Aztec clubman or (preferably) Aztec Warrior.

I can replace the images, but I think new spearman doesn't really look like spearman any more.
Shield could be easily removed , but it has to look like anti-mounted unit.
The pose is great though and we can use it later on e.g. all those spear using heavy infantry.
Upgraded swordsman is hardly distinguishable with non-upgreded one.

As for name change - Macuahuitl is not a club. It's standard close combat weapon.
Swordsmen are not units using swords. It's a name for core, unspecialised infantry.
They are commonly visualised with handy, short arms well usable in siege warfare, but would they actually have uniform weapons?
Rather not. It's just a class description.

Alright. Here is the new spearman. Took me a while to figure out the spear pose, but this could do.

About the upgrade, Gral said he'll add some historical changes but i think the one he sent me isn't completed yet. I'll wait for a while.

There it is. That's better.

I guess it is complete now.

Is the new updated images better @Endru1241? Are there any changes left to be added?

Replaced them in the assets.
As similarity is very high, I'm not putting old images to any skin pack.
