The Gnats Franken Dungeon

looks much better now! now the head feels much more natural. the issue was caused by the fact that you put a lvl5 head on a lvl3 sprite.

[The_Gnat]

True but now i think it is good! And here is a little gold:

That is all i can do now but i will hopefully get to working on the lvl 5 version over the next few days!

[ForestDragon]

ok, another bit of feedback: I think the dragon head covers too much of the dwarf head, making it seem like the unit is a drake with a beard

[The_Gnat]

I agree, before all you could see was the beard, has this fixed the problem?

[ForestDragon]

yes, looks better now.

Awesome sprites!!!

I'm not entirely against oversize sprites, but after a certain point it does become a bit ridiculous With mainline, the l3 units aren't more than a few pixels taller, yet they seem so much bigger. I'm not sure exactly why, but it's a really really cool effect.

I guess I think l5 units don't need to be as big as the fire dragon, but if it fits the unit, then it should be; in the fire dragon's case, it's a towering monster, and a sprite only a bit bigger than a l3 wouldn't exactly fit. Yet it takes a level 5 human (at least I think the grand marshall is l5) to match the size of the l2 troll, and even then he's one pixel shorter. So, I guess if it fits the unit, then go for it.

(P.S: A bit of critique for the dragonier: his dragonstick's dragonhead could look a bit more intimidating. I'd offer some suggestions, but my advice would probably mess it up or worse )

These are really good sprites though; you should do a batch from scratch.

[The_Gnat]

Thank you Vulpine, it is always good to hear positive responses (though i appreciate any type of feedback)

As for the Dragonier i don't know what exactly i could do with the dragon stick so if you would like to offer suggestions that would be fine (none of your previous suggestions have messed up anything )

Also hear are somemore of the dwarvish brigade of new units: (i am also working on an level 5 arch gryphon rider but it isn't finished)


Also here is a gif of the new enlarged doom bat!

ok, some feedback again:
-I think you should recolor the bat, some that it's body/wings have the same color
-arch thane needs to be a bit larger in my opinion
-mammoth rider's reins should tie around the mammoth's neck (currently, they look like loose ropes, and not reins)
-I would be nice if the mammoth had something like a large metal helmet (with some TC)
-as for drogonier's dragonstick: not related to making it intimidating, I suggest recoloring it's dragonhead to a more golden-ish color (the color used for the dragonier's armor) from it's current yellow look.

@ Forest Dragon - Good ideas! I will make the changes you suggest.

Just for fun made a few wesnoth card game cards:

Here is the link to the topic that tells how the game goes.

[WTrawi]

Funny, my brother and I did the same half a year ago
(it's an actually existing card game, we just made a new design and a few extra cards)

a few cards

[The_Gnat]

Nice that looks really good! Making card games seems to be a popular thing, Lord-Knightmare showed me another card game (Arcmage) based off of wesnoth also.

With this card game, however, i have focused more on the attack icons rather than portraits or sprites (here are some more examples):

A few colleagues and i tried it on Thursday and it is a enjoyable and quick game.

[The_Gnat]

Here is a pdf including all the other cards i have made for the game. Any grammar suggestions or other comments are welcome.

(please post any comments on this topic)

[The_Gnat]

Working with ForestDragon, countless changes to the spelling and text have been made and a bunch of new cards have been added.

Also i have made an overview of all the cards sorted into a big picture. The big picture has lower resolution images of the cards so i recommend using the pdf to print, the reason i made it is to help clarify how many of each card type there is and so on.

Spoiler:

(Note: the big picture has all the newest cards and icons but since i made it before ForestDragon's text edits it does not have all the newest text, for the newest changes look in the pdf)

[The_Gnat]

I have now created a new type of card (events). Currently their are only 16 but i will make more soon.
