Friggin' sweet Sombre. Can definitely see the '300' influence. I think the Sworn Brother looks coolest, if I have to chose.

Great graphics, Sombre. My hat's off to you.

Sombre · #23 April 9th, 2007, 12:47 PM

Haha, yeah I saw 300 not so long ago, so there's an influence there. I already had a nation like this planned though, there's no direct link.

I just gave the new sworn and hoplites a playtest - they were making a /mess/ of the AI. I had about 20 sworn brothers going through lanka armies like a chainsaw. Like real hoplites their big problem comes when they're surrounded since their huge defence and parry melts away. As long as they were in a sort of 'block' though they were doing even better than I expected. For 30 gold a head though,... and only a leather cuirass for body armour,... well they don't seem overpowered.

I'll be messing about with myrmidon graphics again tomorrow. My first effort failed abysmally, so we'll see.

Oh and I /will/ release Jomon Broken. Soon. I promise ;]

I'm looking forward to Muspelheim. Do you know the Norse also had earth-giants? the Bergrisar (mountain giants). The Niefel giants were known as "Hrimtursar", while Muspel giants were "Eldjotnar".

Damn Sombre. Spin those plates!!

Juzza · #27 April 22nd, 2007, 09:24 PM

I personaly think one side of giants is enough! and theres already alot of nations based around fire, so you might wanna give the Muspehiem a bit of a twist to it for it take off as a good mod.

Sombre · #28 April 22nd, 2007, 09:57 PM

Well at the moment they're just a concept - I thought Niefelhiem could do with a 'friend' just like Vanhiem having Helhiem. Obviously there's going to be quite the clash though - one will love heat 3, one cold 3. As a base for the nation I'm just going to mirror Niefelhiem and switch water/ice for fire/heat. Then once that's done I'll make them as different and interesting as I can.

Yeah but...these are giants...ON FIRE! And uh, burning and stuff. What can I say, I'm a pyro.

Well, just saying that there is Abisya that has everything to do with fire, then you have Ermor which in the early age has an aspect of fire, also theres mictlan whch also has a fire aspect, though mostly blood and agathara which also has a small fire aspect, adding another nation in the early age with a fire aspect, a large fire aspect to it, may be kinda hard.

Late age would be the best if it wasn't already cluttered with mods, cause thats only got, like 1 or 2 with fire I think, rather than 4.
