Angels

[Yeetbruh]

Should I make an image for it

[Anchar]

It wouldn’t be bad if the angels would fly and there were 2 types: 1) Just an angel with a sword, 2) An archangel with a spear against the cavalry.

[Yeetbruh]

Angel archers would be cool

So I had an idea alongside BadNorth. A high tier religious unit should be able to summon an angel through a spell. I already have an image created for the angel, wielding a large blade, and I can post it if this idea is accepted.

Due to my lack of experience in AoF (only started playing a few weeks ago) my knowledge of stats is non-existent so I would leave that up to you guys.

Thanks

One thing alas.
Angels in our lore are not some divine beings. They are alive units from flesh and blood.
Humans with wings.

Which is why this idea will not fit. Alas aurora argentum (holy sub) will get holy summon but that will not be related to angels.

[Squirrel5555]

So no possibility of angel summon? At first I was planning for the angels to be regular units with 3 upgrades, do those have an image yet?

[makazuwr32]

Angels as regular sub for humans is confirmed. Alas not sure if it needs 3 tiers as base.

[Squirrel5555]

Sure. Well, I assume there is no image, so could you point me to the right place where I could submit my interpretation?

[makazuwr32]

Not that this sub has high priority though.
But you can try in this topic for now.

[Squirrel5555]

Sad. Well, maybe it can be of use anyway, one day, or a separate unit. I settled on a halberd as the weapon

Let me know if you would like anything changed.

Side note:
Among several planned subs — desert sub, holy sub, adventurers sub, angels sub — we will work next on most ready (at least image wise) sub.
Desert sub has no images, adventurers sub has 1 ready unit (skarn) and 1 building (hunter's lodge).
Holy sub has lots of ready images but they need update as for me.

Now to image — do not like that hobbit figure with ettin's axe.
Change size of figure himself to larger one and reduce a bit size of weapon.

[Squirrel5555]

I thought angels possess super strength, well okay I will try

[makazuwr32]

They can have such individuals among them but that is not a general rule.
Also in the first place i do not like that hobbit size of body.

They must have human-sized body.

[Squirrel5555]

I see what you mean about small body, I can try to enlarge.

But to be fair the game has many scaling problems and since wings already take up most available space I wanted to make body smaller to represent their size. E.g. Imperial knight is not actually similar size to hamletback or some other giant- technically that is an even worse scaling error than here

[Squirrel5555]

Angel now comparable to most units, weapon also.

[makazuwr32]

Now looks great.
Ofc some minor polishing is required yet. For example with player color.

[Squirrel5555]

Thanks, slight improvements

[makazuwr32]

Moved to humans sub.

[Marine25]

I have here a Basic Angel and also Arch Angel

[makazuwr32]

Thanks, slight improvements

This variant is much better.

I have here a Basic Angel and also Arch Angel

These units are looking like human thugs who chopped off angel wings and now are wearing as accessory.
