Did you use pure black? Try a light grey, and darken a bit each time till it looks right. That should hopefully work better.

Changed unit names:

I'll start an "Airiya" thread and tell you what I think.

Here's my Hashashan. Remember, it is supposed to be level 1 (or 1.5); so it is supposed to look unimpressive. The second and third levels will gain cloaks and stuff.

Oh, and what do you think about changing the Ragel's clothes to be grey, not brown?

I guess that'll work for a level 1 assassin.

Sounds good! It'll make him look even more non-descript, and will mean that the white and black robes of his advances will seem like a logical progression.

Great. That was what my thinking was.

Well, I haven't gotten around to that change yet, but what do people think of the Eunuch Warder?

I like him. The red cape is a nice touch.

Geat! Here is the current tree, with recolored Ragel:

Since IMHO the level 1s are most important, next on my list is the Salik, Ifrit, and Camel Rider. However, since doing advancements is so much easier than doing level 1 units, I'll probably get the Ragel line completed before I get all of those done.

Well, true to my prediction, I found creating the Kedari Nizari much easier than creating either the Salik, Camel Rider or Ifrit. So, here it is.

If you notice that the two branches of the Ragel tree seem to be mirroring each other... it's because they are. Intentionally.

PS: If anyone wants to create a base camel image, that would be great. I really have no idea how to make one...

I think we want the one-hump camel, not the two-hump one. (I dont' remember the name for either). Also, camels have longer necks than that, and their heads look different. (Do a google search for "camel" to see what I mean). But, that's a pretty good start.

Is this camel good?

Post by **turin** » October 24th, 2005, 5:20 pm

In fact, here's an improved version. It's a bit too big (IIRC, camels are not taller than horses), and the coloring needs a lot of work, but the basic shape is closer to a camel than yours.

Isn't that a dromedary that you made, Turin?

I dunno. All I know is that what I made is the type of camel that was actually used in warfare...

Here's an improved version.
