Here's a saurian skirmisher portrait by Bielves:
Unfortunately, he's currently unavailable to do more illustrations, but I might eventually commission more portraits if this style is acceptable.

Nope, it was originally posted by Doofus on GitHub when I was doing the first PR with an alternative upgrade of the skirmisher that later became the mainline spearthrower. I only did some minor adjustments like cleaning up the javelins on the back, and posted the (unfinished) bop animation on the ...

Correction: Doofus made the original sprite, I only cleaned it up a bit and did a quick proposal for the level 3.

Dropping this guy here! Good stuff all around, saurians are a lot of fun.


I started animating this sprite recently, really liking the concept and pose on this one.

Assuming it would have only melee attacks, I'm almost finished with all SE animations. My ...

I think they might have too much "vitality". Maybe not bobbing like a prizefighter, but still at least an angry drunk, rather than a staggering corpse-puppet.
That's true, I was going for a slower saurian bobbing which by itself is quite substantial for an idle animation. Perhaps this is something ...

Finished the saurian soulless standing animation and fixed the shadows in the zombie frames. Here's a side by side comparison at 200ms per frame with the skirmisher sprite.

I completely missed that they already have modified defenses and resistances, pretty much matching the living saurians. I only read the WML file and missed that they have a modified movement type which also happen to affect the resists. Confirmed this in game. So, custom stats are not necessary. (In ...

Don't know how I missed this before, but undead saurians lack a lot of the animations. I can't imagine how death could stop saurians from bobbing.

I did a basic standing animation for the Lv0 zombie saurian. To match the mounted zombie and cat, I made 7 frames with ...

I saw the failing PR check, wasn't sure if it's something that's applied automatically based on the Git history or if it's a manual process. Anyway, I added the tags in my PRs, thanks for letting me know.

I actually submitted these (1, 2) before the seer PR, just didn't mention it on the forums.

You mean this new sprite? It's not up to me of course, but if anything I'd prefer to go ahead with the replacement and use the current seer sprite for the campaigns.

Just made a pull request with the new seer animations based on the sprites by Doofus. If that doesn't get accepted into the mainline, you're free to use these for your add-ons. Other than that, I believe I've already posted everything else I've been working on.

Speaking of which, I'll likely get ...

Took long enough, but I did finish these NE frames. See the pull request.

Is it a fixed 1 tile movement in the opposite direction of the target after an attack, or the ability to use leftover movement points after an engagement? Either way, it does seem like it could fit a skirmisher upgrade, but I'm a bit worried about adding too much bonuses at once - first strike ...

New sprite for the current Spearwoman unit that you can find in 1.16 Saurian Pack. Doofus said the sprite has to be redesigned for a chance to make it into the mainline, so that's basically the new look. The goal was to add a more versatile upgrade for the skirmisher tree, so that they can be more ...
