Great Troll and Troll Warrior use the same sprite?

Post by josteph »

Hi, just a minor issue, the unit types Great Troll and Troll Warrior use the same sprite. It would be nice for one of them to get a different sprite to facilitate distinguishing them, especially when both are in play at the same time. Thanks :)

Yes I agree, the Hero is well designed and his hammer is really nice, it should be kept in his lv3 imho. It would be nice if someone would make the effort to create a better sprite.

Such efforts were already made. The improved the Great Troll should still be somewhere in the art forums or in some UMC add-on.

Nice looking :-) It's not in master, though; is it going to be in 1.14?

I am not sure. Try asking the art devs.

As LK indicated, it's a matter of convincing someone that it is worth including to reduce the duplication of sprites. Often the reason a sprite alone is not added is it does not have matching animations.
