Age of Strategy Forums

Well, Stratego said there will be skins for AOF too. And also to create another thread about it so here it it.

Lemme also just put mine. Only the buildings since my units kinda not appropriate.
The tower is castle, just misnamed.

i'd say some of them could easily replace after some polishing current images as main ones.

Yes, I was thinking the same. Some might be the new imagrs and some coukd be "historical" skins

For example there are some new designs for skeletons by @StormSaint373 and the lothric themed design by @DoomsdayDragonfire. I think we can use the ones from storm as new main, and both lothric and old look as skins.

@Stratego (dev) is it possible to have more than one alternative skin for a unit?

I really like the new castle concept @DreJaDe

I think it still need some polishing in terms of shading.

Maybe @Savra has some advices to make its texture look better.

sure all unit can have any skins, also since i introduced skinpacks it is easier to set the whole skinpack to all units in the pack.
(check in AOS dev version how that works)

also dont forget a skin can change not only the look of unit but the sounds and the projeectile of its attack too (eg. different arrows)

I thought so too. I made look that way to make the unit stand out more because the original castle really stand out as castle to me, also I thought the Concept of the building in this game is to make them look bigger for them to be easily to easily be known. (As you can see, my images looked small unlike the original)

The main reason is that, im just new to this and can't just make an alternative to make it look more good.

That is great! So we might set a skin pack called "traditional skeletons" to use current images and a lothric pack to use "ddd images".

idk what u mean traditional.

but there is:
a) default skins (these are not even skins but the images deifned in unit jsons)
b) individual skins (these are not in pack but it can be selected to appear on unit)
c) skin packs (these are individual skins joined together with a "packId" and can be selected for all at once)

to if "traditional" pack is a list of unit images that are no longr the default - than yes we can make any pack with any images and call it tradiional (i also made a "Retro" named pack in AOS with unit images i liked earlier (eg. old spartan, or skirmishers) - before it got reworked.

also i did not understood "DDD" images but if this is also a pack than sure, it can be.

but what will be the default unit images then?

alex meant current skeletons as traditional ones and i like idea of making htem as "retro" pack.

DDD images is a pack of skeleton images made by DoomsDayDragonfire. We have seen them in aof dev discord. They can in theory become default ones.

i see, but the default ones should not be in any pack.

Oh, fancy. Great images.

For castle you could just change the white part of the outside wall into brick like pattern, kinda like the inside. That might make it look better.

@makazuwr32 I would prefer D.D.D.'s images to be a skin pack while for standard images I would prefer the more 3dish skeletons made by storm on the new base body we had made

my old images can be part of the retrò pack as they are more 2d/front facing

Well, I'm glad that my images can be used as main so I really tried to improve it and take the advice of Savra.

But yeah, I just can't seem to do it. So here's my take on making it look improved and the other is I tried to make it like a wall.

Note: the 1st pic looks dirty because if I remove that, they would look more out of place.

Hmm, 2nd seems better. It's got more detail it seems.

1st looks good too, but second seems more preferable.

Hm... I am trying to remember who made those 3d-ish skeletons in discord - Doomsday or stormsaint?
I meant them to be used as default.

please post here on forum those images i never saw them here. thanks!

Pretty sure he meant the ones of saint, bcz i didn't made anything skeletal aside the skeleton Diver at that time.

@StormSaint373 @DoomsdayDragonfire

Could you put here your images for the base skeletons?

.

. Hope this helps...

Im assuming even one skin pack will take A considerable amount of time since I think all races are still getting new troops.
Even then almost all main races have alot of images to replace including upgrade versions

you dont need to replace all units to get a skinpack.
6-8 units can starta skinpack.
or a skinpack canb be eg. only archers too and so on.

I have some ideas for skins. 1 Make skins for TC, two basic ones are already available, these are skins from AOF And AOS.2 Set of skins for elves: Dark elves/ Night elf. Set of skins for people: Desert troops. Set of skins for orcs: Dictators ( armor and weapons are more brutal)

Those skeletons look so good, they should replace current ones imho.

Those skeletons looks awesome Btw

New moon will be official sub for elves with theme similar to warcraft 3/wow night elves.

Derert sub for humans is confirmed.

Well i have some for skeletons that i had posted on Discord, but i'm just busy to finish them... I guess there is skins for 4 units and their armored/golden upgrades, Is it possible add more to a pack periodically or they must be done all at once?

cool! pleae use the forum for asset posting - this is saved (backup) daily and such - thanks!
