WHAT FACTION SHOULD NEO MAKE TODAY

Post by **Viliam** » October 22nd, 2006, 2:42 pm

1) Giant mutant frogs! Green, orange and blue...

2) Not a faction, but it would be nice to have a hydra with swarm attack... that is, when it loses HPs, it loses heads (and when it heals, heads grow again). This is not a faction, just 1 unit, but needs a lot of images. Maybe something like this already exists...

A kung fu faction! With ninjas, pirates, sphinxes and ninjas!

Does the swarm abillity allow for the graphics to actually change when the unit is damaged? If yes, I'll get right on it.

If not, it would probably get coded pretty fast once you drew the images.

(That could be used for the cuttlefish too.)

There are many Imperial Era factions you might be interested in drawing. The Dardanoi (=ancient greek - phalanxes, mystery cultists, etc), the Orces Gentorum (=orcish gladiators!), the Airiya (=ancient Persian, with Zoroastrian magical priests), or the Droch Fae (remember the Sidhe? these guys are their descendants. They're even more evil.). Any of those sound appealing?

An insectoid faction ?

Are there links to the threads where I might find these duders?

THOSE SAMURAI ARE AWESOME

Your mission is, if you choose to accept it, to create a complete set of units fit for a Warring Era Japanese faction.

Samurai faction would be fun.

Link to more information on Imperial Era is in Turin's signature.

Man, anywhere were I can find what graphics the factions currently use?

Actually, most of the ones Turin suggested = none. They don't even have place holders yet. I assume that's why he wants you to draw them.
(Wo0t! Neo's doing stuff again! Hooray!)

AIRIYA, AIRIYA, AIRIYA.

AIRIYA.

*FAINTS*

You may also Neo-style some stuff for the EoM, i know JW would appreciate it. It also depends if you want to make horrors and self-mutilating cultists for the Aberrations.

well, since you already said that the Kalifa was "too human" for you, I'd say don't do factions.

do usefull single units : monsters, animals, heros, each with two or three levels, that would probably be more usefull that forcing them to be all related...

wrt swarm ability, no you currently can't and yes, it's trivial to add woth the current animation framework...

so don't feel blocked by this little problem
