I won't add outline to the weapon as i think it is okay. The Projectile will have it alas as it needs to be outlined, because it is a projectile sprite.

I'll change the "cut" top of the weapon though. It was intended to be like that alas.

Honestly - I am not comfortable with this concept.

What is the main concept this unit should be representing?
Anti-archer or anti-building?

If desired to be hybrid - I'd change it for higher cost - 2 turn hybrids are dangerous to pull off balance-wise.

From image it looks like melee fighter - that weapon could be spear or barely throwable heavy javelin.
Well - you did give rather low range, so I guesss it could be OK.
But it could have a little higher damage and e.g. totally different bonuses or none at all.

Remember, that weapon type presented on image should not indicate bonuses.
What's more - even weapon type really used is not enough to guarantee them.
Skirmisher could just as well be using some bow or sling - the point of that unit is being good anti-archer ranged unit.

Also - human on image looks a little too green, like zombie - maybe it's effect of both grass skirt and greenish weapon?
Lit javelin image doesn't look fire needs some change too.
Can you look at other burning projectiles?
They have more orange.
I think it looks a little more like a fire.

Green: I'll change it to brown, but i don't really see that. But i guess that's because i made the image. I'll do some changes later..

Fire: I'm not really good with fire images either cuz i just started making them, i'll change.

I'll make another stats. I'll up the damage by +2 or +3, change cost to 3, and remove the bonuses maybe.

I'll try to change it too. Maybe just shortening the Javelin.

@Endru1241

I just copied the style of the arrow_torch.png and added it to the torch. As for the Projectile sprite, i just copy and pasted it to save some time. Is this ok now?

I wonder if some other name shouldn't be used - fire master or something (a keeper of fire )?

Could you also recolor skin a little (like soldier skinpack)?

Hmm, Pyromaniac or something? Flame thrower? Flame Javelin? I'm bad at name picking.

Is there a problem with the Javelineer name?

Just thought it would be better to indicate usage with name.
I'll try to construct some text along with fire master.

Also renamed topic since it'll probably be the name of the unit.

falarica was a heavy javelin that eventually developed into pilum and the scorpio amunition
