Imperial guard IMPLEMENTED

[Alexander82]

I renamed the other unit since I thought that this name fit more an halberdier.

This one will be an anti cavalry.

He looks like a dwarf...

[Alexander82]

It is exactly tall as the other imperial units...

At the start imperials were all 2 more pixel tall but Daniel tought they were too big to be humans compared to other units

[Stratego (dev)]

now imperials are very nice - imho.

I'm enjoying the imperial units. They add a unique flavor to humans that is distinct from AoS. I can't wait to see this one, and I'm still waiting on an archer/crossbowman version.

[Alexander82]

Yes, this was my intention from the beginning

I tought of making it cost 4 since the normal spearman costs 2

[Puss_in_Boots]

That poleaxe looks pretty large, I think it should have range 2 even without reach, like the other long polearms for the uruk hai or goblin pike and halberdier

[Alexander82]

No. humans gain reach with a specific tech. If we gave him range 2 already it would have range 3 with reach which is too much.

Also I've made the image because I already knew he was going to reach range 2 with reach.

[Sunrise Samurai]

The imperial units have a nice perk of not needing research to be effective, unlike regular troops. It may be nice to give it 2 range, but reach doesn't effect it, so it remains 2 range. This being said, I'd appreciate a small quiver of javelins on his back, and a ranged ability to throw a javelin, for some use at a distance, if less effective than an archer.

[Alexander82]

Hey guys this is meant to be an elite anti cavalry not an hybrid unit. Also imperial units are affected by techs. If not it is a bug and i'll fix the jsons if you tell me which units aren't affected.

Since reach is pretty useful a player will probably research it anyway tough.

[Alexander82]

Ok, i've checked the current imperial units. The knight it is regularly affected by techs while the shielder had no techs specified into the json. I fixed it and sent the corrected json to Daniel.

[MightyGuy]

The image is Nice, but, imho it looks like a Dwarf because the axe is too big, nevermind...

[Alexander82]

That one is smaller

[MightyGuy]

Both are nice but this one for me is really cool!

[Alexander82]

Still 1 pixel smaller and a bit shorter
