Drakes' design

[Lapinator]

Would it be possible to modify the drakes' design
Some drake units can be confused with other drake units
If someone has any idea of how to change them, they can post a message here.

Let's make the drake fighters pink instead.

I mean, the least he could do would be to say which ones he thought looked too similar, but no... He didn't.

Good idea! They would probably look more serious in pink!

Wow, I thought it was ugly already, but this...

*excited* Can we have an in-game screenshot? Can we?

[Hearold]

Keep it like that! That way, everyone will finally give up playing with them. *ughh* SO ANNOYING!!!!!!

[MadMax]

NO.

Moderator's warning: Ok, enough of this nonsense. if you don't have anything constructive to say then don't post at all.

I'm not sure which of the units the original poster is talking about, but there are a few I could list.

1) The drake burner and upgrades: his pose remains exactly the same with the burner and fire drake, the only change is from red -> silver. That Seems, to me, to violate one of our rules on sprite-making; poses should change.

2) The Inferno drake also looks similar, but its head is slightly more hunched forward.

3) (I know I've said this before) the drake burner is too tall, and looks to me like a second level unit. I'm not exaggerating here! Even though I know its a first level unit, every time I see it I think, "how do they have a second level unit already?", then I immediately correct myself. With most units, their first/second/third levelness is obvious.

4) The silhouette of the clasher looks very similar to that of the gladiator, but I think the gaining of a spear (which can't really be seen in the silhouette) makes it distinct enough to non-colorblind people. I'm not color blind, so I don't know how they see it.

Turin has understood what I wanted to say. I only want any ideas to make news drakes' design.
If anybody had an idea about how to change drakes' design, please, let me know.
(Thank you XJapaN !!! )

I saw you'd like to change drakes' design, and you're asking people to send you their ideas. But have you any
I think you should make some drakes with open wings, and some not, or things like that. And change that Drake Burner

[Neoriceisgood]

The very first drakes had the problem of the drake burner and fire drake being almost the same, So far that it bothered myself greatly; Though in all honoustly I have absolutely no problems keeping every drake appart; Though ideas lie in things like giving the drake fighters different armor; Changing wings over sprites (These are mostly the same I confess) different skincolour (But apparently the inferno drake line is what this is about mostly, So that's not really an option) or completely redoing the drakes again;

And I can tell you, I'm not willing to cöoperate to the last option in any manner.

i'm agree : the Drake Burner (again ) seems to powerfull it will be better if design were like drake-burner-attack-ranged1.png the head is smaller and "less dangerous"

but the drakes (I think) are made to be very special for the design and for the strategy

Honestly, people, this is ridiculous. If you want to ask neo to do something, this is the wrong thing to be asking him.

I also tend to be a bit leery of those who complain about art, but cannot produce it themselves - I am more so of those who can't even make a specific complaint. This is not constructive at all - all this post is doing is spreading bad vibes around.

Could you explain why, at least? This seems to me to be the perfect thing to ask him to do - fix a sprite of his that is, IMHO, not really acceptable for a good-quality game...

Strange - I don't mind people complaining about a campaign when they couldn't write one themselves.

But I might take a stab at improving the drake burner sprite (which is the ONLY one that really need fixing! the rest just could use a tiny bit of work).
