Minotaur Faction Art

Um its the rim of the cloak and the staff of the head. Also you like my idea for the Giant Eagle?

It sounds interesting, but i wasnt entirely sure about what you meant. Am i aware that this is some kind of minotuar harpy? It has its arms functional, but has wings that allows it to fly and has the head of a Minotaur?

Picture a minotaur in your head, now imagine it has eagle's wings (connected from the back curving down so when rested the wings overlap at the front of the body). Its arms and legs are still functional when in flight. So I guess you could call it a Minotaur harpy but it has more of a minotaur body than a harpy's (basically its just a minotaur with wings)...

[Quietus]

Ah ok, actually i can picture a pretty cool sprite right now. Would it be an issue if the base frame wasn't in flight? just i can see a pretty epica power stance looking quite cool. And thus i do believe a name change is in order, something like "pteryga" (greek for wing, i think). The name does have to be rather unique because.. well how often do you see a flying minotuar? in fact how often do you see a minotaur lol

[Espreon]

Yeah, but keep the second of the line's name: Roc.
Also when your spriting the Giant Eagle (or Pyterga) make sure you do standing frames of it flappin its wings while its bobbing up and down, like the bats...

I think maybe he should CREATE the units first? .

P.S. Quietus, in your icon, you forgot an "a" in "Minotaurs"

You mean the sprite or the code, if you mean the code then thats my responsibility.

No he meant the avatar lol, thats been there for about 2 weeks now and i didnt even notice it rofl, thanks for pointing it out . Curse my poor grammar

Oh, Quietus half of the Mystic's crystal ball is not TCed everything else including the glow is TCed...

[Elerias]

Is there any downloadable beta to test the faction or u are keeping it secret until its finished?

Currently no, Espreon estimated that there might be one avaliable tonight, but as the first beta will include a whole new selection of abilities, it has taken time for Espreon to code. Also tomy knowledge there has been a fair bit of de-bugging required, so that has slowed the whole process down. But from what ive heard it shouldnt be long.

Hmm i'll edit these when something is playable. So i can see exactly what pixels require recoloring. But thatnks for pointing it out. For any units that dont have artwork, could you use placeholders? i.e. for the gnoll just use the sharpeye sprite, and for the giant eagle. just use the gryphon until i have created the sprites.

[Espreon]

Uh, Quietus I am probably not going to be finished untill tomarrow since my mother is being mean to me and I can't use the good (the one with Linux and the one with the Minotaur .cfgs on it) computer, my mom is not going to be home tomarrow when I get home until 2 hours later so expect them done then. Also when done should I be the one to upload them on the Addons Server?

Oh dont worry about it, i wouldnt have been able to play them till tommorow any ways

Yeah definately, theres no harm in doing it. Could you upload to both 1.4 and dev if possible? Im currently using 1.4, and i know the majority of forum members tend to use the dev version, so i dont want to be left out lol.

[Espreon]

What dev version? The 1.5 branch does not exist yet, AFAIK.
If you were talking about SVN then it should play nicely with my coding...

[AI]

1.4 branch atm consists of 1.4 and 1.4+svn
trunk is version 1.5-svn (-svn because 1.5 hasn't been released yet)

so yes, a dev version does exist.

Quietus, what's the status on the Minotaur faction? You've done a real great job here
