Every race has his own scout type, the new race should also have this "special" - The quesion is: what should he look
like? Before I start with something I ask you which version you would prefer

a) First I had the Idea to create a massive decorated man

b) Then I had the Idea to make a settler with a pet

c) After that I thought about just giving him a hiking pole

d) Or just to use a tamed animal

The animal thing sounds fun!

Maybe some races could have only animal? (Japanese) Some might have both? (Africans)

Vikings could also have wolf with them.

A, B, C or D... All of them? ;) If only one, then B.

Well, I saw that we had 5 answers but something went wrong (~Daniel was the last poster) so I ask you to type your answer again :)

Die Idee mit dem tierischen Begleiter find ich genial.
Also ganz klar dafür!

---

Mir persönlich gefällt die Wander Stock Idee am besten. Tiere mit laufen zu lassen finde ich nicht so toll. Wenn man bedenkt das dort schon genügend Tiere rum rennen. Hunde und Katzen kann man gerne mal an ein Fenster samt kleiner Animation für irgendein Gebäude des neuen Volkes machen.

So, today I finally managed to do something for the babylonian scout, well, I (tried) to pixelate a leopard.
I kinda like
it (it's really hard to pixel something comples with around 30 pixel).

I still hope, that you like that idea, the scout is still not designed but this should show what it looks
like having a
scout with "pet"



Edit: I'm afraid of some "bad" comments just because the graphic is a bit small (settlers size)



---

---

I think the leopard as a pet is quite a good idea. And this is really a good result considering you only had a few pixels you could play around with!

Although it still needs some more work IMHO like making the scout itself more Babylonian (to be honest, I'm not too sure on how a Babylonian scout is supposed to look). Perhaps a darker skin colour and a bald head?

*räusper*

Zitat:

Yeah, I was also thinking about that part and really had no good idea (because you only see some pixel in
that direction)
how to make him unique

Edit: leopard walking animation (right)


---

---

I must admit, I really like this leopard. I'd really like to see it in the game not only as a companion of the scout, but also as a regular animal that spawns like all the others in the forests. Well, at least at some time in the future :D

---

first scout + pet version

---

---

New preview:

still some little bugs but should look fine

Edit:

Wanted to see what it looks like using the leopard ;)

Edit:


Full animation for everybody interested

---

---

It's been a long time... since I posted an update. Finally some news, started the babylonian right_up animation and it looks quite good
in my opinion. I will drop the leopard idea and save it for later when at least everything looks babylonian instead of roman-japanese-
babylonian ;)
