I renamed the other unit since I thought that this name fit more an halberdier.

This one will be an anti cavalry.


Imperial guard:

No, this is a different unit.

He looks like a dwarf...

It is exactly tall as the other imperial units...

At the start imperials were all 2 more pixel tall but Daniel tought they were too big to be humans compared to other units

now imperials are very nice - imho.

I'm enjoying the imperial units. They add a unique flavor to humans that is distinct from AoS. I can't wait to see this one, and I'm still waiting on an archer/crossbowman version.

Yes, this was my intention from the beginning

I tought of making it cost 4 since the normal spearman costs 2

That poleaxe looks pretty large, I think it should have range 2 even without reach, like the other long polearms for the uruk hai or goblin pike and halberdier

No. humans gain reach with a specific tech. If we gave him range 2 already it would have range 3 with reach which is too much.

Also I've made the image because I already knew he was going to reach range 2 with reach.

The imperial units have a nice perk of not needing research to be effective, unlike regular troops. It may be nice to give it 2 range, but reach doesn't effect it, so it remains 2 range. This being said, I'd appreciate a small quiver of javelins on his back, and a ranged ability to throw a javelin, for some use at a distance, if less effective than an archer.

Hey guys this is meant to be an elite anti cavalry not an hybrid unit. Also imperial units are affected by techs. If not it is a bug and i'll fix the jsons if you tell me which units aren't affected.

Since reach is pretty useful a player will probably research it anyway tough.

Ok, i've checked the current imperial units. The knight it is regularly affected by techs while the shielder had no techs specified into the json. I fixed it and sent the corrected json to Daniel.

The image is Nice, but, imho it looks like a Dwarf because the axe is too big, nevermind...

That one is smaller

Both are nice but this one for me is really cool!

Still 1 pixel smaller and a bit shorter

IMPLEMENTED
