Ettin - IMPLEMENTED

[Alexander82]

Two headed giant. Every head has a distinctive personality and control a single arm (the one on its side).
I've edited a couple of images and melded them together

Here is a first result (i have to add shading and some details)

The unit in game should be a heavy hitter with a double attack

[Alexander82]

added some shading and some details

[Alexander82]

added shades on hair and mahe his skin more uniform

[Alexander82]

Stats

Cost: 10
Hp: 100 (bigger than a troll)
Attack power: 20
Range 1 (maybe 2 because it's a tall creature)
Armor: 3
Pierce armor: 3
Speed: 4
sight: 6
Action/turn: 2
Spell resistance: 50% (it has two personalities and you need to convert both), Trample (area attack)
Builder: tc, volcano

[Stratego (dev)]

i suggest more shading or something the body parts look flat i think.

[Alexander82]

Which part mostly?

[Alexander82]

I reworked the arms a bit and increased the contrast between the parts in shadow and those in light
it should have a more "3d" look now

[ejm29]

That looks a lot better! Though in my opinion the feet look a tiny bit strange. A bit like he's walking on his claws

[Alexander82]

I might try to add some perspective.

[Alexander82]

here two possible solutions

[ejm29]

The first one looks a lot better!

[patroid]

Hi


strongly reshaded small cub rework and feeds are different now.

THE SHADY SHADING MAN : patroid

[Alexander82]

The real slim shading man

[ejm29]

I can't see any difference..... are you sure you have not posted the same image again?

[Alexander82]

The shadows on the legs are fairly stronger and the tip of the club is different

[ejm29]

Ah! Ok, I can sort of see it now

[Alexander82]

Daniel what you think abou this unit?

The ettin is a classic fantasy creature, it is a pretty common one.

[Stratego (dev)]

Ok! Please json it! Thanks!

[Alexander82]

Perfect!

[Alexander82]

Ok i'm pretty sure i'll need some hints

[Alexander82]

Is that ok Daniel?

[Stratego (dev)]

thanks for trying!

- there were many format errors, and was copied text into the middle of the same text.
- also you have deleted ] characters - dont do such that will ruin the format.
- also UNIT_ORC_BUILDING_VOLCANO is the name of the volcano type
- u did not set race
- also please try it in json formatter and that will tell you the format problems that u may have accidentally do.

(i am working on it)

...

ok it is in, io have removed him from the TC

i see that the image is not good in team coloring, would u fix it? thanks!

[Alexander82]

here

Btw, can't we make another building that allow us to train these units? Right now orcs strenght is too dependant on the chance to build a volcano. In maps where you are short on space you really loos most of your strongest options.

[Stratego (dev)]

ok, we can have a cave or something (maybe what can be built on hills only? (although that would decrease the usability on some maps)
and in cave can have the big troll, and ettin produced.
we would need a good image for the "cave-mountain".

[Alexander82]

I'll make one now, i think there is no need to make it buildableon ills only, like the volcano that you can build anywhere you have space. On the other hand i would make it buildable on forest (after all is a simple cave).

[Alexander82]

What about that?

[Stratego (dev)]

i like my idea having carved cave and a assembled cave separately

image: it is 2Dish, we need one that looks 3D - maybe start from the 1x1 tile mountain image and "carve" a cave into it.

[Alexander82]

ok, i've just edited a cave i've found right now
i didn't want to exceed the 32x32 limit to save slots

[Stratego (dev)]

slots?
no, it can exceed 32px upwards if u want no problem.

[Alexander82]

do you like that?
