Royal Guard Skins

  • Quote

Post by iCourt »

Just thought I'd float the idea of unique unit skins for unique Royal Guard units. It won't effect balance, but may add a nice touch to the game.

Xentilian made these unit skins for Imperial upgrades, but since that's an age hardly reached I figure applying some of the skins to RG or unique units such as Portuguese Besterios would be neat. Easy to implement and I feel enhances the game. Thoughts?

Awesome! It would also show newer players that royal guard units are actually somewhat different from their regular counterparts in that they are stronger.

Cant you just mod unit skins anyways? Maybe make this an option rather than unavoidable?
I do like the idea.

Well that's exactly what it is. Just thought I'd bring it up as I was fixing some other things (Church units) that deal with the same files.

YAY MOAR SKINS

can we also change some other skins of other units (not royal guard)

would be great to see changes in ugly zamb, goons, skirms etc.

Damn @iCourt , you published my semi-secret idea. :P

I did indeed add optional skins, sounds, etc. to the feature list of the to-be-reworked ESOC launcher. If they will be NE designs I cannot tell, after all the designs are part of NE's USP. I'm convinced though it'll still be possible to create a pool of optional unit designs (I'd also consider buildings and icons/portraits btw). There's a series of unused or discarded NE designs I'm willing to contribute to that pool and also select a few from the new, upcoming designs. Finally there are also other mods out there that may want to share a few of their designs with ESOC.

The beauty of a change like this is how easy it is to implement it. It can be completely optional too. Consider it an improvement mod.

To be honest, I actually like the idea of those being the Imperial skins better. As it is, there is no way to distinguish between guard and imp units.

ye its not like you can just click on the unit :P
as long as it is optional Im in.
THing with reskining units is, that once the feeling that it is "new " disapperars you often find yourself liking the original design more. Ive had this experience with aoc at least.
