if you read first post in this thread, you would know you should do no debating in this thread, only new unit suggestions that are completely hammered out. all posts not suggesting a new unit should be deleted (including this one).

Neo just went and posted that without critique. He is free to do so for the drakes, but, uhm, he should really have asked about this one.
Truly, from working on a project like this, you develop a sense of when something is excellent and beyond reasonable criticism, and when there is something lacking.
I am able to do the former occasionally - for example, the mermen have had no complaints, IIRC. Still, much of my other work has taken a lot of words to beat it into shape, and rightfully so.
Neo's "not good enough" alert should have been beeping for this one...

There is to be no debate on this forum. If you want to correct the images, sounds, or stats, then post in a different thread, or write to the person suggesting the unit. The person suggesting the unit is responsible for editing their proposal if they think other people's suggestions work better.
Any posts in this thread that do not suggest a unit, or suggest an existing unit with minor modifications will be removed.
Posts containing units that are accepted or rejected may be removed.

Has ANYONE even read the first post? gah -_- now stop talking people.

Probably all these posts will be deleted in a matter of minutes. Sorry for posting, i was following fmunoz's lead.
And I don't think anyone saw this unit before it got posted in it's "final" form yes? At least I'd never seen it... not that it matters.. but no one was able to give input anywhere.

right now, there is no real difference between this and the 2nd level unit. I can tell the difference in they are both on-screen, but i can't tell which is which. With most units, like hero -> champion, i can.

Metal shines, you knowturin wrote:looks good... but whats up with the red and white on the shield? i thought it was metal...

The red is wood(?), in the center it acts like a support for the shield.
I think that is a nice idea to make shields composed with various materials.
I dont think that Lizards can be really good smithers, so they'll have to find other ways to defend themeselves, and a shield composed in part by metal and wood(?) looks pretty good.
not red, and not that brightly.Plasticgod wrote:Metal shines, you knowturin wrote:looks good... but whats up with the red and white on the shield? i thought it was metal...
i know, but why is it bright red? it looks... odd.Plasticgod wrote:The red is wood(?), in the center it acts like a support for the shield.
IMHO it doesn't. especially one composed of bright red wood, bright white cloth, and dull metal...Plasticgod wrote:I think that is a nice idea to make shields composed with various materials.
