New unit: Dark Elf Assassin (sep 9th, 2005)

[aaglo]

I hate to be the one who whines but it isn't very Dark Elfy. It looks like any random human assasin. He'd look more elfy if he had some golden brokade or more purple. I've always seen Dark Elves as the kind of people who go for purple, black and gold combinations. Is it just me?

No, it's not just you. Many hobbyists paint the dark elf assassins the way you describe, but it just doesn't make any sense for an assassin to wear very flashy clothes. Them gold&purple brokades aren't actually very stealthy - unless you are trying to be stealthy among other dark elves

Besides, he has some gold (in his weapons) and purple (the civ-colour of dark elves is purple)... so there . But I'd say, that this one is a bit more dark-elfier than the assassin previously used in the mod (well, atleast weapon-wise ).

What is a tonsil?

Tonsils are the things in the back of your throat, which can be removed if they become annoying (cronic infection was my excuse).

I've always assaciated Elves, (of any colour) to be more than anything vain. In my fantasy universe I've created in my brain an elf would rather be remembered for his good taste in his assisination garments than the actual act of killing, (which always is carried out in some unecesarily elegant way). The dwarves do call them "pansies" for a reason.

Man, his dude is just itching to kill some high-elf scum, . I wish there were more, though.

 

[Mr. Do]

Great work aaglo, it satisfies me and that's all that matters

Hope you stay well, or else this mod will need yet another update soonish!
