Small error: the Aragwaith Greatbow is lawful (it's supposed to be neutral.)

Ranger M: Do you have everything committed? I'm going to release in a few hours.

Ranger M · Post by **Ranger M** » June 17th, 2006, 8:01 pm

Yep, should be fine for everything that I want in this release. I'll hopefully be updating the rest by the next release, and adding some other stuff (animations, attack icons, etc).

Post by **turin** » June 17th, 2006, 9:07 pm

Sounds good. I'm releasing within the hour.

I notice that you still have the .cfg of a few obsolete Aragwaithi units (Horselord, Hunter and Stormbringer).
One of these is also used as a leader (the Hunter), which is problematic because it no longer has pictures and one of its advancements doesn't exist.
You might change the leaders for the faction to these ones :
leader=Aragwaith Longswordsman,Aragwaith Flagbearer,Aragwaith Strongbow,Aragwaith Guard,Aragwaith Pikeman,Aragwaith Wizard

BTW you might want to enable female mages, you will find some .cfg for the mage line here.

Don't do it! The images for the female warlock (so inaptly named the Warlockess) look NOTHING LIKE the warlock images. It violates the rule that they should look like the same unit.

Could not find the unit being advanced to: Spahi (it needs to be "Kedari Spahi" in Kedari_Desert_Raider.cfg)

For me they look like a female variation of the same unit, except probably the lvl 3

The names are problematic through.

Honestly, I'd prefer to not enable the female versions, and instead steal those images for the Marauder Sorceress line. It's not often you find quality, unused graphics just lying around for the taking...

If I have to say something in this case and I think I have at least as I created this stuff.

The female should stay though I'm still working at one thing for those guys.

Some smaller portraits and this one was the first I've started with and I won't change the route.

Seeing as your here wayfarer I'm going to ask this. Turin is going on a rampage recently, trying to get the imperial era (and other history) fleshed out backstory wise. Currently we have absolutely nothing for the aragwaith, and this could lead to their removal from the imperial era in the future (although they'll still be around for campaign use, etc) being somebody who likes the aragwith I wouldn't want this (I want them somewhere) so I'm going to ask you, what backstory do the aragwaith have in your mind (what can you think of), or if not that, what kind of role/society do they have? If you give me something I'll try to fit it in with Turin's history.

How come the male version has dark outlines and hair, but the female version has light outlines and hair? It might be OK with just the hair, but whoever heard of different people having different color outlines?

You could ask the same about the great mage and it's female counterpart.

The truth is that the male version is old and the female was drawn when I got some more experience. If wouldn't mind if the male version goes but the female has to stay.

Well words aren't my strange especially in English. I planed that every portrait of this units will have a special theme.

For the mages sorrow and sacrifice.

for the spearman something like vegeance and rage. Something that lies covert in there past that has changed them.

I didn't mind much about their backround as I created them though they could get used for a versatile use at the moment it seems to be a knock out criteria.

Though I wouldn't mind if we could handle this though pm's I'm not that hot to spread the discussion over the forum.
