If using a PC and making sprites get gimp(free software) and make a translucent 32x32 canvas, can be 32x64 if units is extremely tall or has pike/flag/plume. After you finish you click export as, go into further options and untick everything, then export it. The you can upload it here as an attachment

If on phone i use pixly, just save it and upload as attachment

Below the box when you are creating a post there is attachments option, click it and click add files.

I assume from your message you are trying to upload sprites you have made, if yes you can do it like this
Unless you are uploading actual images in which case they didnt load up for me

Even if they arent totally fine, or they should be others, they could be used for a first experience of the game, if it get developed(i hope it)
There will be Mercenaries too (swiss, genovesse crossbow, corsair, natives, lanqkinets idk how it writes, etc)
About siege, first at all, we need to separate then by the kind of cannon (mortar, hancannon, field cannon, fixed cannon, rocket batery)
Maybe just generic at the begining, and get different types later

L4cus wrote: ↑Thu Apr 02, 2020 3:05 pm I was thinking also in militia units
They cost 1 turn, and there are pikeman and musket (very weak since they are militia)
Also a hunter with an ability similar to an elf unit i saw at aof that summons a dog
Foot scout (low damage, good sight)
Mounted scout (low damage, good sight)
Officer (with some kind of aura)
I dont think there should be a blacksmith, maybe for some armored units like pikeman, knights and others mounted units upgrading their armor
About unit categories, here are some ideas:
Infantry, cavalry, light armored, heavy armored, unarmored, ranged, melee, artillery, gunpowder unit, polearm welder, shield barier and nations(factions)

Also, i'd like to say that pikemen were very effective at renassence (idk how to write it, sorry) they should have a regular attack, and with or without a tech they could get aura to become better when fight in groups, similar to roman formations in aos.

L4cus wrote: ↑Thu Apr 02, 2020 4:41 pm They could be replaced by militia units (it could be another category)
But, if there will be cities and villages, then militia could be produced at cities and peasant at villages
That is just an idea

L4cus wrote: ↑Thu Apr 02, 2020 5:36 pm Mmh those spanish units looks like american conquest soldiers
This idea isnt focused on that, they should look more like european wars (30 years war) like tecios style
But yeah, i like them

L4cus wrote: ↑Thu Apr 02, 2020 6:25 pm Yeah, they should have some religious techs, their kings were catholic (later, house of habsburg were too)
I love spain history, then i have a lot of ideas for that faction
But it can wait for later
Priest are good idea, i was already thi king about them
All factions should have them
Also, they will have differences by religion
Some of them were anglican church, luther church, islam, etc...
But i am afraid about it could make the game a little complicate

For healer role (only healing ability) i was thi king on field hospital, and medics

Everything is on the hands of developers and moders
