Wow, um, you're still working on a project I sort of left. Um.
I'd better go and code the era then.

Sheet ghost's right arm looks fine but the left looks a bit weird, I don't get where some nincompoop wearing their bed linen got weird green sheet patterns though.

EDIT: With the Technic Orcs now in alpha, I discovered something annoying. Namely, there are 4 different units (of the currently 5) that look completely identical. Could people willingly doing art please concentrate on the Technic Orcs?
Rough guides to how the orcs should look.:
EDIT2: We also need a lion, or even better, a mage riding a lion, and a fire-breathing piggy. Meh.

Great idea! Was going to make something in these scenes myself a while ago, but didnt. Glad the mentality lives on!

Well ... a no sence era sounds ... a bit silly, but for me there are not any problem.

Not every history or era must have sence, why not a era without sence? I do not see a reasson of why not. I'm agreed with this idea because it's original =)

A suggerence, the trolls are the cientists of the orcs faction.

Explication: For a weird reasson in this era the trolls are awesome of smart and peaceful. They are not very ungry and they are more focused in the cience than in the war :P

The green stuff is goo. I'll redraw the arm but I also have to work on the meme era as well.

Guard: Lots and lots of armour, with chainmail. An absolutely massive (like almost as tall as him) shield should be in front of him, on wheels if you're amazingly good at spriting. He also has a hand cannon.
i tried it but got bored,maybe you can salvage something of him :)

Actually looks pretty darn cool Vranca! :D

I think that if you get rid of the sword and make the cannon a bit greyer and larger, it would be perfect!*

* Although I am going to make the mantlet look like orcish metal. It's a level 3!

*Takes some pressure off Vranca and any other artists*
Here's a Guard. If, somehow, the chainmail is sorted out (it drapes over his arm in a stupid way) and so is the hand bombard (it doesn't show up) then it will be commited to EON.

Why that orc uses a door as a shield? o.o

The shield likes to much to a door ... add another metal part in the down part of the sprite's shield ;)

you should probably use the mantlet with the wheels,now it looks like its floating in mid air. Also he´s kinda monotone.

Both of these sprites have now been commited:

These will be replaced with more interesting/impressive scratch sprites at a later date, but for now it's just nice to have unique sprites.
