I think it is a good image!
suggestions:
- seems a little flat because of maybe some missing shades? (both side is same shading now)
- recently we make separate images for occupied and not occupied versions
- also it can overlap a little upwards, that gives more 3D feeling when unit goes behind it.
thanks!

Ok... @Stratego (dev)
• So, I'll increase height by... Say 10, 13, 15 pixels?
• how can I fix the shading?
• I'll separate images

Alright, @Stratego (dev) , here is the revision.
Re: Monastery

Actually we should be shading up to down, not side to side because of the new orientation possibility. Both sides can still look different since no building is perfectly symmetrical. But the shading should be somewhat similar on both sides.
Re: Monastery

Unfortunately, there isn't much overhang to shade from...
On scale of top to bottom... Nothing would be shaded for fact that everything is in view of light source.

What do you think, @End@Endru1241 ?
Re: Monastery
Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2019 3:57 pm
About image - I like the previous one better. Could you try how it looks elongated more proportionally by let's say 10 px
About idea - I think it kinda duplicates church, making it redundant (or left only as healing structure).
I have few ideas:
1. Religious castle (but it would need bigger image) - trains trebuchet, monk (new 2 turn healer unit - with no or worse conversion), religious orders units (+teuton)
2. The same but instead religious orders trains crusaders.
3. Pure healing structure (like church or maybe even cathedral) but without training ability (so healing tower able to rebuild on mountains).
4. Normal factory, maybe with fervor aura (but then no healing or worse) training monks (3 or 4 turn healers with no or worse conversion) and training "mini crusade" - like auxiliary for Romans - random crusader unit maybe additionally training "religious orders help" - similar, but longer to build -random religious order unit.
5. Castle like in 1 or 2, but one or both sets of units gets exchanged by random production in 4.

Religious Castle, 64x or 128x64...
Recruits:
Templars (and mounted)
Hospitallers
Monk
Priest
Missionary
Inquisitor (maybe)
Crusaders

I intentionally didn't mention priests. Let them stay in church and tc only.
Look at units produced by regular castle. It doesn't get real cavalry, nor archers, nor any healers.
It let's You train infantry, but without 2-turners, emergency knight, slower lancer, 1 range converter, two shots only powerful archer and more powerful axe thrower, who can't hit anything.
Not one factory is completely replaced by castle.
That's why I think the best would be training only trebuchet, pure healing unit, random religious order unit by cost of 4-5 (including teuton) and random crusader by the cost of 2-3 (excluding Lord of course). Adding new units could also be done.
Castle-like monastery could also get ranged healing, but weaker attack and armor, than castle.
About image - I think it should get then castle -sized one - 96x96 ( with top 32px being overlay).

So just
Templars
Hospitaller
Teutonic knight
Monk
Trebuchet
Crusaders (Random, cost 3) although stats are cost 2, and crusader knight needs stats revamp
Re: Monastery
Posted: Tue Sep 24, 2019 5:21 am
Well. Archer is 2-cost stats indeed, but there are veteran versions of regular armyman and knight - One is equivalent to broadswordsman, the other is between knight and heavy knight.
I'd say their cost value would be something like this:
archer -2
regular crusader - 2
veteran - 2.5
knight - 3
veteran knight - 4
If there would be equal chances for each - it's 2.7 average cost.
I know it's worse than auxiliaries, but 2 turn regular army units could be dangerous in a castle.
So after adding trebuchet to Your list of trainable units, it pretty much sums it up.

Is it alright, @Endru1241 , if I may try to reskin a few crusaders, AND propose a couple new ones?
That is...
Crusader Seargent
Crusader Halberdier
Crusader Crossbowman
That is...
Crusader Seargent
Crusader Halberdier
Crusader Crossbowman
Re: Monastery
Posted: Tue Sep 24, 2019 11:47 pm
These are current ones.
Crossbowman would be a just upgraded archer, like veteran? Then it would be fine, I think.
Instead of halbeldiers, why not spearman - crusader armies used spear as one of main infantry weapons.
And what do You have in mind by sergeant?

Re: Monastery

As for Halberdier, I was thinking of the new approach to fighting cavalry. (Inspired by AoF Halberdier variants)
+1 cost to spearman
-2 to hp of swordsman counterpart
Att= Swordsman
Bonuses are 200% instead of 450% vs cavalry.
It could have 50% vs infantry melee
(Although I forget bonuses vs elephants, I suspect half for this variant)
Still has one action, and is affected by polearm techs, but geared a bit toward fighting infantry with less counter risk.

So, 3 cost, 16 hp, 8power? With vouglier bonuses +160% on mounted (21 base damage), +260% elephants (29 base), +50% melee foot (12 base).
Still wondering if fully upgraded 18 power is not too strong vs melee.

Re: Monastery

It's enough to kill axe throwers, if 18 dmg is all, at a "supposed" tier 3, then it won't be able to kill a Swordsman of same tier. With one hit, that is.
It will cause Worry to that unit as it will deal between 2/3 (beginning) to 3/4 at a (3rd tier) of a Swordsman's health.

i think the monasery image still nedds improvingimho- shading and some less cartoonish look maybe.
also i suggest it being a littel bigger like 2x2 tile sized image, now it looks a little "packed" to small size

Re: Monastery
Posted: Wed Sep 25, 2019 2:05 pm
So, you'd prefer 2x2 instead of 2x3?
How would I make it look less cartoonist?
• change stonework to cathedral layout perhaps?
Shading needs improvement... How can I make that happen?
