I'm home, where are you?
Five different spells, used as cruise missiles, for a fantasy mod. Three are fireball type, one gas cloud and a lightning bolt. I'm also planning a Blizzard effect and maybe some Holy and Unholy light effects.

Casting Preview (all of them have similar animations, just different symbols in different combinations):

Woot! Awesome! Going to add them asap! :)
Cant wait for the other 3 effects! Are you working on those now or just later? [So I wait for the new effects first, or if you arent working on them now, I can add them to v2.2 later on :)]

I think v2.1 still needs a few days, since I have some new ideas + Telgar is hopefully working on the new forest as well...


5 stars for these animations of course! ;)
[Im always rating ur work with 5 stars, since all of them are decent!]
 
These look great! Definately useful in my mod. Perhaps if you get time here are some other spells that I could use:

Fire Wall (Wall of fire rises from ground, burns for 1 sec or so, then falls back down)
4 different lightning bolts, including Jagged Lightning (more than one bolt in attack)
Hand of Death (Black hand rises from ground, clasps, then goes back down)

I will add these to my site once I find some space for them

GIDustin
 
Well I was going to work on a Belgian peasant weilding a Gutentag first... So the extra spell effect may be later... Those spells sound good, I'll look into them GIDustin.

The gas unit might also be useful in a WWI scenario.

I had the same thought. It might make an interesting gas warfare unit. Maybe make it a range 1, early cruise missile.
 
I suppose you could use other animations for the default etc. since the spell theme wouldn't look right for a WW1 Gas attack. Maybe use the cannon default, run and attack and then this gas for the death.
 
Actually, I was thinking it might be good to use the gas for the AttackA of the WWI soldier, and then have him attack as the AttackB.

I was planning on doing this anyway, but now you've saved me the trouble of making the gas myself! :)
 
Ok than I suppose I will add the new effects with a later patch...However Im still waitng for Telgars forest, so maybe you will be ready until im done with the patch. :)
