Hey Paul,
here some oddities I noticed recently:
The settlement screens do look cut off at the sides, (the link below each picture shows it in a bigger size)
while other screens do have a wood frame of sorts (, since there is always left some space to the edges);
or in the case of the inventory screen even a metal frame to round off those screens.
And why actually is it that only the inventory screen, among all screens, is framed by the statues? Why not adding them to all screens, when they don’t fill all the monitor screen?
I think the statues would do a good job to conceal that harsh cut at the settlement screens. What do you think? Here a crude photoshop edit as an example:(Looks like I didn’t scale the cut out part big enough, since the metal frame from picture beneath is visible.)
Another thing I noticed:
How come the village screen and the inventory screen don’t have the same size? I thought the size of those screens is supposed to be the size of the smallest supported resolution?By the way, that video gave me an idea: What about an unique “boob plate” armor for our brothers to wear?
I’d be careful with this stuff. The whole “women” topic is already pretty explosive. Let’s not wake sleeping dogs haha.
Very well then. (Though I still think, it would be funny to have one for our male mercs. But then again, that joke could get lost, as soon as, if ever, female mercs are implemented.)
Then this one will have to do the trick:

What about “dresses combined with visable armour covering arms and head”? It would have less/no potential to offend anyone, but would maintain the joke. ^^
How about “Vordern Legion(s)”?
Yes, “The Vordern Legions” sounds good to me.
I’m still stumped by Orcs and Goblins, though. Maybe “elf” … I don’t know how to do umlauts, and I’m sure this one is wrong, but I remember a cool song about the Elfking. “Erl” or “Orl” … but those aren’t right, just a bad Anglicization of the sound. When I think of Scandinavian or Germanic elves, the impression is more of a goblin-like creature.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erlking
“According to Jacob Grimm, the term originates with a Scandinavian (Danish) word, ellekonge “king of the elves”, or for a female spirit elverkongens datter “the elven king’s daughter”, who is responsible for ensnaring human beings to satisfy her desire, jealousy or lust for revenge.The New Oxford American Dictionary follows this explanation, describing the Erlking as “a bearded giant or goblin who lures little children to the land of death”, mistranslated as Erlkönig in the late 18th century from ellerkonge.”The orcs could be seen as a type of Troll, is there any sort of word for a troll-like creature that would work?
I browsed a little and found: “chrēg” (= war; Old High German). (I think the plural form then should be the same as the singular form.)
In my opinion, it sounds good and goes nicely with the Orcs’ lore.What do you think of “arga-” or “argaz” (= cowardly, vicious; Germanic) or “argī” (= malice, avarice, greediness; Old High German) for the Goblins?
Paul,
I heard the Ancient Priests helmets are not lootable and wearable by one’s mercs. I think that’s a real shame and a waste of potential. Would it be possible to add their helmets on top of (rusty) mail coifs (or another fitting helmet) to make them wearable by humans?Basically like this:
This way one could have light helmets (wihtout the vision penalty) as fancy as the noble house knight helmets.
What do you think?
