They seem fine, except for 2 things I noticed on almost first glance:

1) The hunter and Woodsman look almost identical, they're really hard to distinguish from each other

and

2) same problem with Crusher and mauler, although a bit less. Some clor differences would help a lot here. I mean, if two units are so close to looking the same you can use the same attack frames, they're pretty hard to tell from each other.


Otherwise, nice work. I personally especially like the axeman-lines. :)

1. I probably should remove the headband from the hunter. Might think of something else.

2. And i was lazy with the attack frames, because i could just get away with it.

- You get a lot of mileage out of that one helmet. Good thing it looks good.
- The woodsman might benefit from a cloak or cape.
- The crusher could have a spikeless mace or a hammer. Thus the difference between "crushing" and "mauling," and the art change isn't killer.

I think they look good. Good job!

Vikings... *drool*

I think the Pillager (level 2 warrior) needs some work. He looks like he's bending backwards. Other than that, the warrior tree is very good.

The axeman line is good, but I think the horse would look better as a grey than a tan. And the highlights seem rather bright on it. And the woodsman does look too much like the hunter. Those names could use work, too; mind if I take a stab at them?

The scout is really good, but the slave-raider's pose is awkward.

The crusher is awesome, but the mauler's pose I just don't understand. What is he supposed to look like? And I concur with everyone else who was saying the crusher's mace should not have spikes.

Ok i've done it all except the woodsman and the mauler because i need some sleep, i need to get round to that, you can take a stab at the names.

The mounted axeman is now very nice looking. The crusher is good too.

I think the Pillager still needs to be changed, though.

I noticed that there is only one mounted fighter.
What about a mounted pillager?

That is how it's designed, and i don't see how it would help them, i suppose i could get a lvl. 4 and the only difference would be extra movement but still. They are based on the vikings and they are not the most famous for their use of horses.

The mauler does look better.

But, the pillager still looks messed up, to me at least. Am I the only one?
