Personally, i'd probably go for armour round the front, TC cloth on the rear. Makes it clearer what's going on.

Will do :wink:

EDIT: Did a bit of editing randomly and i think it looks alot better now. I think i had jsut used too much TC cloth. Dont know what everyone else thinks. Also it now looks more like a cloth and not a pair of leggings.

Well, it does look nice but I'm afraid he is too much the same color as the cloth. Try using a different body color, he looks about like an armadillo right now. :lol: Other than the color though, I'd say he's great.

Haha, yes I know. I was just teasing you too.

:? The grey it all metal chainmail lol, well platemail on the top. The only bit that is cloth is the TC'd under garment. I think it does need a little contrast in colours, i might redo the helmet so that some of his head is exposed.

Mal so ne allgemeine Frage.
Ich hab ja sehr viele selbst gemachte Völker/Einheiten ausprobiert und wollte auch mal ein eigenes Volk machen.
Aber solche die auch bis Level 9 oder 10 aufsteiegn.Also richtige RPG figuren.Ideen bz. Name,Status,Att ect. würde ich selber machen.Aber ich hab 0 Ahnung,wie ich die machen kann.

Würde mir jemand(oder mehrere,wenn ihr so nett seid)mir diese Einheiten erstellen ?Muss nicht unbedingt direkt animiert sein.
Nur im "Kampf einsetzbar sollten sie sein.Bitte!
I cant not good speak english^^
i`m german.

is there a possibility someone could translate this from German to English

The free transltor is rather Sche... well im sure you understand :P lol sorry, just thought i would put that as i was on it.

All i got from the translator is:
Question general time so ne. Very many even made peoples/units tried and wanted to make I also once an own people. But such that also until levels 9 or 10 aufsteiegn. therefore correct RPG figures ideas bz. Name, status, Att ect. I myself would make was able to make however I 0 premonitions such as I that.

If became not someone or several if its so nicely is generate must be animated me me these units? unconditionally directly. Only in that "battle usable they should be favor!
Which as you can see makes very little sence

a better translation is roughly

he wants to create a faction/era that has a more RPG feel to it by having them have 9/10 levels and lots of branches, but he has absolutely no idea how to do that. So he would really appreciate it if someone helped him out.

or something like that at least.

Ah thanks. unfortunately i am but a meer artist (and a rather rookie one at that). And therefore cant help him on anything to do with coding of it. if he needed a few sprites i could pitch in something, when i have the time, which is rare in this day an age :( .

So it would be possible that somebody could do to me and insert afterwards? Because I have no notion what the construction of unities it begins. If somebody does, it says please. Then I set to work immediately to write the unities.

I know it's mostly chainmail, but on his face? :? I guess it could be a helmet, but if so then it's stuck on him for life unless he is dehorned.

Hmm i see what you man now. It was intended to be a helmet. He is game, a walking (well trotting and galping) tank. I might nahve a little fiddle with the sprite later, but atm im concerntrating on making the remaining sprites

Perhaps if he would just have slots through his helmet where it could be slid down around his horns, instead of completely circling them, he could keep the helmet. Still, it'd be nice to see a little skin showing around his muzzle.

Really like the last two ones, maybe change the sword angle a bit on either one only to signify a change. The cape or whatever its called is very noticeable only think I would like something more between the levels
