Minotaur Faction : The Era Of Strife
Moderator: Forum Moderators
Hmm never really played much of the Imperial Era. the EOM has become too addictive lolLim_Arcadia wrote:Its the world of the Imperial era, they have their own forums.Quietus wrote:Orbivm.
EDIT: just thought i would update the unit tree.
Things are coming together rather nicely. The shaman will be edited and replaced with the updated version possibly tommorow.
EDIT: table removed - see first page

Quietus , its looking good
Really like this idea , im interesting in adding this faction to my era (era of races.) was wondering if your interested.
hmmm your doing a pretty good job here. haha just noticed that most of them are left handed (im left handed as well
). you know i was thinin if your stumbling over ideas why not make the raider be carrying skulls (its a 'raider' after all) or some type of bone armor for the rouser (ide be inspired by one with bone armor...) though it might look odd from going to armor then to mino king.

I always saw the rouser as the length of the executioner with a banner (that could posses a skull on top), when he would engourage the other minotaurs i always saw him houling (a bit like a wolf) and agressivly holding the banner up.
I did some quick sketches (is it the right word for a rough drawing) off hid stance and banner took me about 30 seconds so I know it's crappy so don't coment it.

When I first heard your idea of a minotaur shaman, I chuckled... but it did turn out looking good!
However, the centaur is really unbearably ugly:
1) one of his hooves looks like a giant black sneaker
2) the horns resemble floppy ears
3) his arms connect to his body above the neck
4) colors too uniform

The shaman being bigger than the same-level Behemoth could be a problem, especially since magical units are more physically-frail than their fighter counterparts (especially those who play the role of a "tank").
EDIT: That unit (maybe slightly reduced in size) could still be good for a lvl 2 or lvl 3 though.

That idea is much older than any of us. It goes back at least as far as "The Fifth Voyage of Sinbad the Sailor" in The Thousand and One Nights. In other words, there is plenty of mythological/legendary justification for giving the a Roc the ability to drop boulders on its enemies.cretin wrote:haha cool looks like my boulder idea for the roc is going to be implamented :D

Hey, sorry for my absence. Ive been really bogged down with coursework and revision, but as of tommorow i will be a free man to work on sprites again
just a few changes to the current tree, the shaman sprite is now the mystic sprite, and im doing a new shamn sprite. I'll work on the mystic sprite tommorow as today im a little busy.

Would love to, but Lim is in charge of the coding. Im not too sure how far he is with it as of yet. If anyone else would help with the coding to ease the work load i would happily accept. Sprites as paymentxer wrote:Can you put it on the server?
