Minotaur Faction Art

[Espreon]

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

Hello Blueblaze, I the coder of the Minotaurs am almost done coding and they should hit the addon server tonight-tommarrow.

Artwise Quietus has done most of the base sprites.

Hey Quietus for the Gnoll's melee weapon it should be a spear, starting at the Sharpshooter line they should drop the spears for swords.

I disagree as that would be RIPILIB. Of course, these aren't mainline, but it is still a point. Unless you have another upgrade that keeps the spear (which there may be, in which case I'm foolish) you are losing the melee pierce (perhaps firststrike attack), making the level 2 unit worse in some cases

Hmm i might actaully consider making the gnoll line a bit more diverse, one with a pierce combat the other with ranged. It wouldnt be that much more work once i get the gnoll line started.

Alright please explain what "RIPILIB" stands for.

Also Quietus wanted the Gnoll to have pierce melee damage...

Reduction in power in leveling is bad. Swords do blade damage, spears do pierce.

so even if the attack goes from 7-3 pierce to 10-3, there will be cases where having the pierce attack would have been better.

Maybe there should be two branches for the Gnolls...

[Thrawn]

that seems to be quietus' plan, from his last post ("making [the gnoll line] more diverse")

[Quietus]

Ah the joys of frankensteining, here is the gnoll sprite, i really like thsi one. its simple yet it looks great in game along side the behemoth and gore.

I could make a spear alternative which would be very easy to do, but i think ill do the sharpshooter next

[Espreon]

Very nice. Unfourtanetly I will have to commit new things on Monday...

Thats ok, if i try and get most of the remaining sprites done before then, we can upload the whole lot in one go ^^

[Quietus]

Ok and the sharpshooter sprite, though i'd get them all done and out the way.

only the eagle line to go

[Espreon]

The sharpshooter sprite is very nice again!
