An elite tank unit.
Cost: 5
HP: 36
Attack power: 11
Range: 1
Armor: 9
Pierce armor: 9
Speed: 3
Sight: 5
Action/turn: 1/1
Spell resistance: 0%
Size: 1×1

A tank unit should be heavy armored and shielded (9 armor seems op anyway)

Sorry if 9 armor is too much. I did not give him shield as he is wearing full set of heavy plate armor. You know, shield is not used with full plate armor. What do you think about the image?

If cost is made 6, will 9 armor be OK then, as the HP and attack power is rather low?

9 armor wouldn't be ok anyway... i believe it is too high. Moreover having bot values so high will make this unit hard to kill with any unit in game.

I suggest you to take a look at stats of other units in the editor.

Decrease the Armor by 5 'cause then This unit will be too overpowered

OK, is armor 7 and pierce armor 5 alright?

What is your opinion about the image? I have created another image that seems more similar to other units.

Not bad, need's improvement but not bad

What changes should I make?

Remember that the unit should be not wider than 32 pixel

I liked also your first unit but they just need to be made in a style more similar to units already in game.

For the first times i suggest you to try editing a unit already in game (that's how i started improving)

Try Editing the Warrior or Broad Swordsmen

Thank you very much for the suggestions. What do you think about armor 7 and pierce armor 5 with cost 6?

Human infantry has armor upgrades. A unit with 7 armor and 5 pierce would reach 9/7 wich is too much for a unit that cost 6 imho.

I suggest 5/2 which will become 7/4 that are already pretty high values for an infantry unit (also the unit is a 2 handed one, so i wouldn't raise too much pierce that is anti arrows and would give it a decent attack)

Technically its a juggernaut with that type of armor. Maybe it should be similar to a Uruk Hai

I have modified the unit.

How is it now?

I feel its legs are too thin. Try make the larger and play with shadows to define better their shapes

i agree, it looks like an undead unit

That sword is huge/long! Maybe make its size smaller. Other then that and its legs you should be good. (If any one else agree's)

I have made the legs thicker and the sword a bit shorter but it is a two handed great sword so should not make it much shorter, how is it now?
How are the stats?

Sorry bro,but... WTF is his face?!

It is an helm, like those knights wear.

How is this image?

Oh,now is see! He got helm,and this think at shoulders! I was think it all is helm!

It is OK, wish I could make it better but I am not so good and it is difficult to make plate armor in 32 px as it has no color other than the color of steel really.

If you want i can try to rework it a bit to show you what you might do

Yes please do that. Thank you very much.

Something like that

It is slightly taller than a normal warrior but not too much that it might seem a giant.

His legs are thicker and there are more shadows and light so it seems "filled" and not a empty line

Also you must keep the background trasnparent

That looks AWESOME
