Default A graphic request(solved)

I am going to create a mod nation, Kingdom of Avalon, to replace MA Man. It is not going to be a true mod nation, just a tweak taking into account the numerous suggestions made by many experienced mp as to what is needed to make them competitive in a ma mp game on a medium to large map.

There will be no new units, just a tweak to some of the existing units. But one thing I want to do is give the Kingdom of Avalon is a signature pretender, sort of like the Gorgon is a signature pretender for ma Pangaea.

To that end, is anyone will to modify the Lord of the Forest Pretender Sprite to as follows:

1. Give him a 1h weapon. Can be any 1h weapon, even just shortening his spear.

2. Give Him a Vine Shield. It will likely cover up the horn.


3. Make the top of a slung bow appear above one shoulder.


4. Optional. A hunting bird. A falcon or anything but an owl).

This addition may not be feasible, as one should will have the slung bow visible, and to have a bird on the other may look crowded. Unless the bird just appears as an attacking bird in the 2nd sprite. The bird could be assumed to be off scouting in the 1st sprite rather than perched.

"Master of the Hunt"

Cool, let me know if you haven't (though of course I'm still meant to be doing that yeti!). Are you not going to add a KoA commander?

I can mod, i just cannot draw a straight line with a ruler.

KOA commander will use the same sprite as the unit with gor.

Yes, thanks to Tyrant, and several others, I do think I have a good idea on how to make Kingdom of Avalon.

The definite changes will be :

1. A signature pretender-Master of the Hunt
2. A KOA Commander, who will be a fair thug
3. Crones

A. with no cost increase, a 3rd custommagic pick 100
percent with water, earth, and air magic. Gives a fair chance for a4.

B. Mapmove 2.

C. and only some of the crones will start old. the ones that grab the 4n pick will not start old. Still tinkering with the age to try and get that worked out.

D. Toying with the idea of adding a 2nd Warden of Avalon unit, capital only like the vanilla one, but with the option of a 1h broadsword and a shield, rather than the greatsword.

That would give more survivability to the warden against some foes. If I do that I would need a 2nd sprite done! But I am undecided whether this is a good idea or not.

Of course that still leaves Man rather weak recruits away from its capital, but other races are in that boat as well.

Also considered making the KOA Sacred, and removing the sacred from the wardens and putting them at all forts, but i feared the KOA sacreds may be too powerful, and the changes too great. Rather than a tweak we would have a remake.
