All the yellow bands and stuff you have on several sprites would be perfect candidates.
Yes, I have consider it, but only for a Cavalry Archer, Slicer and White Warrior. Why? Because in my opinion other units look better without team colours. Maybe I am wrong. Yellow and blue bands and staff are distinguishing marks of diffrent factions (blue and yellow is characteristic for Enlightened Ones, gold is characteristic for Priests, purple and black for Warlocks). I don't want to change them, because it is a time-consuming process (I do it manually) and some sprites look worse with this feature. Remember: this is only my opinion, so I can be wrong.

Beta 5.2.2 released. Team colours applied to the Cavalry Archer, Slicer and White Warrior.

You don't have to change all the yellow and blue bands to tc, you could do it for just the belts or headbands something. That way people can still tell what faction they are at glance and tell what player is playing them.

I fixed it... two months ago. As all of you know, we had a server crash, so these posts are out of date.

So, how has the progress been so far? =)

Also, I am as happy as a ducky right now. A problem that was afflicting my computer for weeks was finally solved today, and now, I can access every program. Before, an error message popped up whenever I tried to open Firefox, Aim, and even my gaming programs ;_;

One more suggestion to make, for the barbarian berserker, I think it is better to adjust the weight of the weapon so he will use the non-berserk weapon to defence. He always use the berserk defence and will get himself killed too easily. The purpose to make the 2 weapons is to make him a more unique berserker. It is more like attack berserk but defence normal.

But he uses the non-berser weapon to defence. I'm not sure, but I think that I have fixed it (I don't know when :P) If everything goes well,Beta 8.0 will be available this week :)

Thx! I hope one of my tiny Mu´s will survive until he/she/it gains 105 XP.

There´s no entry like that to select in MP (Win/1.4.3, EoMa 8.0.2)

I found a little typo: Warlocks -> Witch -> "spear (piersce)".

p.s.: Will you keep the "mech-influence" within the ancient dwarves faction? That`s the only thing that doesn´t really fit (for me).

Keep it up!

Looks like the barbarian berserker is still defending with berserk. Not sure if it is just a single incident.
