Nice.

Silly campaign: well, that'd be unique if added.
Im still waiting for the Celtic faction update, and possibly a new phone. I will probably not make another Campaign until then. My tablet is working but broken.

Well, it could change or not. but when i really compare it to other skins this had the most fantasy details. It's up to u whether u like to change it or not, im fine either way, it's just a little fantasy looking due to the green outfit and the leaf equipment.

ok, it is fine for me, but a guitar and amplifier/speaker is a way different cup of tea :)

Is there anyway of making certain skins Fun Games only?
I also play an RTS game called Life 8-)
And I also like drinking beer! :D

Shame, we almost had an AoS band there. Quaddys bard, we have a drummer, the Aenaetor on saxophone and chanting monks on backing vocals. And I'm sure the Amazon Blowdart dude could put some holes in his pipe and use it as a flute :D

(Better move this to Off Topics, Dev or Mods, just incase I start talking nonsense all night :lol: )

Hyu, your spy is growing on me, it get's funnier each time I see it :D My original thought was literally just a big cardboard box with eyes, but yours is gloriously sillier :)

Alright.

Is spy on a barrel or a cardboard box a good skin?
I kinda want it tbh.

Quaddy, a barrel is an even better idea!!! You thinking of one of those barrels with no bottom that you can lift up and walk along and pop back down again? :lol:

Yes and it has a hole to peek on. Saw it on random things.
Tho, i doubt i can draw a perfect barrel. We need the map editor structure Barrel sprite in order to create this. We can just add a hole in the barrel facing right and 2 feet from below.

That has a medieval theme so it seems it is allowed.

As stratego already stated - skins should have looks, that would be accepted as regular unit (if it wasn't already there).
But I don't see any reason why not bring them all ( those that size would be OK) as map editor units.
Creepy herbalist fit's haloween thematic ideally. Funky spy can be used as a joke anywhere.
There is also one other advantage to such solution - stats/abilities can be hand picked (or created anew, but that's more work).

Guitarist however is really nice. Maybe it deserves being made fun unit?
Maybe with some sound based damaging/buffing/debuffing abilities (e.g. bard songs, senator demoralise and sound graphics for ranged attack).

Im okay with it being a Fun unit.

Sound effects: NICE, when basic attacking or using abilities it would have an electric guitar sound, i like this idea :)
