:idea:I am currently working on A little project for The Kingdom Expanded.
It can be used for other remakes also of course.

This project is in little words: extending the available units.
I am creating the graphics for this; using photoshop and the existing units.
The reason why I started this topic is because I need names for all of this new units.
I will upload the list with combinations soon.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE 1
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''
I have created almost all of the horse archer sprites now, I just need to ''finish'' all of the sprites; make them animate smoothly.

Update 2

An example of a horse archer can be found here: http://i55.tinypic.com/70uy6e.png
Hope you like it. If anyone wants to see all of the pictures or make an animation out of it, feel free to pb me, or email me. If ur lazy: here it is grubiness@gmail.com

Wow well done! I'm looking forward to seeing it :)
It would be great to spice up the Remakes with new units, buildings, warriors and terrain.

Thanks, it's just that it is an awful lot of work and in comporation with all of the work I have to do: I did almost nothing.

Any volenteer army's are welcome!

New terrains sounds like a great idea! Perhaps me and my friend could make some? Do you have any methods you could suggest, Lewin?

Well, I have an idea:
Take all of the original terrains, look what terrains should be made, come up with a list, make a new topic, start working in photoshop( if u want it for free email me) and update your progress!

Thats how I did it:p

New terrain... Never thought of that possibility.
I've always found it quite frustrating that you can't use 'full snow' in combination with the 'gold mountain type'. Same thing with stone mountains, which you can only use in combination with grass. That's really hopeless if you want to make a snow map! Well these wouldn't be really new terrains of course, but improvements.

I agree with you 100%. You also can't use "dirt snow" with the iron mountains.....why may I ask? It's dumb. And using stone and snow in the same map looks horrible, as seen in mission 18 TSK.

On their way,

but I dont have that much time;
i gotta go to school, work, homework, home, sleep, eat and their remains just a few minutes. Next holiday I have, they will be there! For sure, maybe sooner.

I already finished 1 direction, believe its southwest.

Do you have the center-offsets for all frames?

Uhm no. I got a fast way to discover it. Game maker sprite and origin set to center. That would be the fastest.

Why? :p

Well I can't use them in the game unless their proper origin is known. Or more accurately, I could do it, but then they would move around weirdly when animated.

Alright.
But I really dont have that and dont know how to get it.
