Hey.
Have the skill icons.
They go in order of recruitment excluding the last 4 icons in the 4th last row, those are 3 variations on Sword Saint (They represent paths arriving at a sword, based on Karel’s oft repeated motto that all paths of the sword lead to the same place) And an alternate Revengeance.
After that we have the Class skills, 4 criticals, Pick and Black Mage is trying to sell me on Live to Serve. Then we have the Heritage skills, Lyn’s group is first, Ninians second and Fiora’s third.
The last row of skills are the National skills, various enemy “Elites” will have those skills, you may notice they are all based upon the army emblems from the option menu. Minus Etruria, which is a single lion due to that nations complex design.
We’ve reached up to Chapter 19 as far as “playable” is concerned. My main goal is getting the game all running as a game, and then focusing on adding in all the dialogue etc.

The path of the sword skills are too visually similar to each other, same as the last two country skills, the lion and the house i believe. Saul’s skill (the phanto mask) has really flat colors, so it looks underdeveloped compared to the rest of the icons.

Only one of those paths is being used.
The Lion and the Horse really do not look similar to me Besides, the full Etrurian Symbol is not going to fit into a 12x12 square. So Lion it is.
Saul’s icon isn’t that great, I agree, but this is a case of “Can someone think of one better? No. Then we’ll leave it as is until we do.”

It’s not really a matter of creative thinking so much as making your graphics consistent, as you have for most of your icons. If you added more shading to the mask, it’d be in line with your other skills.
Also, when you create graphics for video games and other visual media, you have to be careful about making things look too similar to each other as it could confuse players. You could change the pose of the horse so it’s not so similar to the lion.

It’s a colour thing, we don’t really have the colours to shade Chivalry? in its current form. But I’ll be sure to pass it along so BM can try different colour combinations.
I wont be changing either of Sacae or Etruria’s National skills, 1. Because these skills will only ever appear on units of that nation, there’s no chance of mistaking one for the other. 2. Because we are on a deadline, and just because someone could possibly mistake two creatures in different poses (The horse is running, the Lion is reared back) is no reason to go change it. I will look into seeing if the lion can be mirrored though, maybe that will help.

Oh you certainly do have enough colors to shade it, lol.
If they appear on the same map, there is a chance of confusing them. And that certainly is a reason to change it, because it could potentially confuse your players. Unless that’s your aim, it will detract from an experience. The idea of well made graphics is to give visual cues to players so they can glean information quickly and separate one thing from another. When things are too visually similar, that will detract from that.

They will never appear on the same map. The Sacae arc is long after the Etruria arc, and Etrurian soldiers do not appear after the Etruria arc. Bern/Ilia and Bern/Sacae do, but neither of those symbols resemble one another. As I said, I will consider reversing the lion so it is facing the opposite direction, even though I do not feel they look similar at all.
It’s not “Enough colours” the skill icons are on the same sheet as the weapon icons, that really only leaves brown as a shading colour right now. I will definitely bring it up to BM to see what he can do.

Wait, so why does Erk join in Chapter 2 again?

What do those national skills do?
Also, to avoid the confusion with the lion, why not use the crown instead?

They’re enemy only skills
Bern
Patriotism When a non-dracoknight unit is within 5 squares of a Dracoknight, +1 Damage, +10% Hit.
When Bern’s forces fight near the symbol of their army, they fight better
Etrurian
Knighthood Whenever an Allied Paladin, General or Valkyrie are within 5 Squares, -2 Damage Recieved, +5% Evasion
Fighting along side those who represent the 3 generals
Brigand
Barbarism Whenever fighting a lowered level enemy, +1 Damage, -1 Doubling Threshold
Because they’re bullies who pick on the weak
Ilia
Mercenary When allied units are within 3 squares, -2 Doubling Threshold, +10% Hit
When banding together under hardship, they fight better
Sacae
Nomadism When engaging an enemy that cannot counter attack, +10% Hit -1 Doubling Threshold
Because they’re majority mounted archers who perform hit and run tactics, like the mongols they’re based on.
Lycia
Heroism Whenever fighting higher level enemies, +1 Damage, -1 Damage Received
Opposite of the Bandits, when confronted with a challenge they rise to the occasion.
EDIT: As for the crown, possible, but BM would reject the idea due to Zealot’s skill being a Crown already and the skills not having similarities.

Fair I guess, although switching the crown in jerrot’s and making it etruria then giving jerrot’s a different icon(idk someone being crowned, idk) could work. But that is more work.
This is kind of vague; what does it mean? Like they get the same buffs or weaker versions of the same ones?[quote=“Onmi, post:195, topic:1317”]
Lycia
Heroism Whenever fighting higher level enemies, +1 Damage, -1 Damage Received
[/quote]
Huh, we have a similar skill; mine affects hit/avo rates though.
Overall, they seem interesting; the doubling stuff seems like it could get dicey but idk it is also specific enemy units only so it’s probably fine.

It means they get the buff when enemy units of those class are in range of them, I was more explaining the justification behind each of them. They also don’t stack because that would be absurd
So an enemy Mercenary with Patriotism would gain +1 damage and +10% hit so long as within 5 squares of him, there was a Manakete or Dracoknight/master.
