Re: Why don't we have a Troll Era?
Sand troll? Since trolls are stony, maybe having a sandy troll would be cool.
Guys I never thought I'd come back to this forum after 8 years this is wild

Yeah it was considered earlier. BUt having cave trolls,sand trolls.water trolls.swamp trolls didnt really sound like the unit lineup we wanted to do.

Re: Why don't we have a Troll Era?
I might be too late to say anything but:
Regarding the Zerker Troll lineup,I really think the teeth and fists should be swapped over.. Not from a gameplay aspect but from a logical perspective? Is it just me or am I the only person who thinks bitting an object is faster than punching it? (put a small target somewhere and try and 'bite' it as fast as you can, then try and 'punch' it as fast as possible, you'll see what I mean.)
Just me being particularly pedantic. Despite my unforgiving nit-pickings this looks really good! Come quite a distance from when it first started out. Well done all of you.

WINR?
edit: it is fastenr to bite. But you can hit from greater distance. And biting enemy pretty much makes you vulrnerable( i dont know how to spell it) So there would be many factors to take count. But this game isnt ment so complicated.

Re: Why don't we have a Troll Era?
@Blarumyrran: The troll looks good, but I think we want our trolls to be more of an Ape/Human construction and your troll's chest/front looks more like an animal meant go around on all fours. Also, i think that the torso is a little bit crunched... maybe elongate it somewhat. Lastly, the head looks too smooth and clear-cut to go with the rugged body (and visa-versa)

Re: Why don't we have a Troll Era?
Firstly I want to say that I greatly appreciate that you are interested in doing troll image(s) for the faction and I am open to improving ideas.
How, in your mind, do you view the Trolls as being constructed? In Wesnoth's history they either stand erect, or crouch and walk while stabling themselves with their knucklesBlarumyrran wrote:I do not want our trolls to be more of an Ape/Human construction
I guess that would be a matter of view point, but do we want the troll quartering towards us, or facing nearly directly towards us?Blarumyrran wrote:NoBLAST wrote:Also, i think that the torso is a little bit crunched... maybe elongate it somewhat.
Well, when looking at your image, I would say that with all the ruggedness of the body, the head should include some of that, ie., look a little more scarred, have the ears messed up somewhat from countless fights, etc...Blarumyrran wrote:I disagree.BLAST wrote:Lastly, the head looks too smooth and clear-cut to go with the rugged body (and visa-versa)

Re: Why don't we have a Troll Era?
As mythical creatures whose anatomy is that which is implied by sprites & portraits. Most players ignore unit descriptions and such, and I think that is excellent, and the way it should be. I realize that in Wesnoth there needs to be some "explicit history" (history not implied by graphics & audio assets & unit names) due to the huge number of "contributors" who must have some axis of coherence between them, but even then that axis should be as weak as possibleBLAST wrote:How, in your mind, do you view the Trolls as being constructed?
But obviously assets determine history, not the other way roundBLAST wrote:In Wesnoth's history they either stand erect, or crouch and walk while stabling themselves with their knuckles
Sorry, english is not my first language; what does quartering mean (other than sawing a person into quarters)?BLAST wrote:I guess that would be a matter of view point, but do we want the troll quartering towards us, or facing nearly directly towards us?Blarumyrran wrote:No
