Yeah, we would do the work if it's required to make the unit.

by the way what format to the graphics need to be in? And were can I find the allready existing graphics?

I have just added heavy infantry as a new human unit.

Images are in png format. They can be found in images/

Unit data files can be found in data/units.

For MacOSX programs for image creation there are three possible choices depending on what you want (and what you have):

1) Photoshop... the all time heavy weight of pixel pushing

Versatile in use but import / export can be weak.

2) GraphicConverter... shareware

A program I would never want to be without. Batch processing. Reasonable editing and reads just about any graphic format out there... still got and Atari 800 .neo file? Something from the Amiga perhaps? GC will read them all and export to most with full flexibility.

3) GIMP... if you want open source and have fink etc installed

Overall I'd suggest GC... if you don't already have it then definitely get it!!! ( http://www.graphicconverter.net)

Why do the elves have thiefs? Aren't they human units anyways? I think Humans should at least have access to thiefs as units.

Humans have access to fencers who are functionally very similiar to thieves.

You have to put it on your own webspace somewhere, and then link to it on the forum.

It would be good to support file attachments on the forum though...

Is there any free program that can be used to make .png files? I'm interested in making graphics, but can't find the right program...

Kamahawk · Post by **Kamahawk** » November 15th, 2003, 10:39 pm

Sithrandel listed several for Mac OS X. GraphicConverter is free. I don't have any sugestions for PCs though.
