Zero's art

wouldn't the lava be a level 0 unit?

[StDrake]

Since the Hivequeens and Hive Empresses lead the Steelhive, I thought they should get another original ability thing... So I came up with the idea that all units you control that are adjacent to a Lv3 Hivequeen or a Lv4 Hive Empress, also controlled by you, gains 1 XP passively per turn. Overpowered? Cool idea? You decide. If it wouldn't work or can't be coded, Melinath, tell me.

would work, can be coded, would be overpowered depending on xp settings of a particular game (and some particular units which already need very little to level)

[wesfreak]

what if units adjacent to them gain extra xp per kill? more then one though. how bout 4 bonus xp per kill made adjacent to someone with that ability?

[Zerovirus]

Alright then, we'll go with Wesfreak's idea then.

Hivemind
These units lead the Steelhive's data network and can therefore relegate more combat knowledge through the matrix to nearby units. All nearby units gain 4 extra XP for each level of the enemy killed; Lv0s grant 8 XP.

[Antonius]

That is the most awsome ability ever to be coded.

[wesfreak]

don't give me any credit. i ripped it off from era of strife. the difference is that there it doesn't work and is for 1 xp.

[Antonius]

Boo... You ruined my moment of awe.

It doesn't work? Since when?

[wesfreak]

since the last time i checked. but i checked quite a while ago, and on the ageless era version instead of the actual era of strife one.

back on topic

[Zerovirus]

Aaaand off topic again.

I got sick a bit back, so sorry for lack of Steelhive updates.

To placate the evil pixel gods, I offer tribute!

Remember my old lizardman with a torch thing?

Upgrade time! Yay.

[melinath]

Yay for correct shadows!

Looking cool; the tails look a bit off, though.

[Zerovirus]

I got some work done today. Yay me.

*Looks at clock*

Dang, that turtle and this single frame took me 3 hours to make. Pixeling is exhaustive.

[wesfreak]

nice. any particular reason that only the lvl 3 version has a neck? cause i think the lvl 2 should probably have one too.


thanks for the turtle b.t.w.

[Zerovirus]

Well, they're not finalized. Personally I think that the 3rd one looks like crap and I'll probably update or redo it sometime in the near future.

And, not to be a prick, but your faction really really needs a good artist. I might volunteer my services if I have time; I already promised Thunderstone to do the Dwarves after Steelhive.

[wesfreak]

You could use the huge one with wings that you drew up as the 4th one, and the current 4'th one as the 3rd.


yes, we do need a good artist. put us on your waiting list.
