Who is the Coolest?

[Sureshot]

check out guildwars wallpapers/screenshots for some cute outfits
though just switching the colours and making them less shiny looking, maybe a cape, would help a lot, or skirts and show some skin, full body suits arent typical of any fantasy settings that i can think of

 

[QES]

ya, gotta get rid of glasses and change the black shiny leather bodysuits to... green leather and skimpier lol and capes?!

but amazing that you got them on horses, i want!

I find it amusing that women are sometimes the first to advocate for more "skimpy" clothing on fantasy characters. We befuddled men simply nod and hope not to rock the potentially very sexy boat.

skimpier than full body suits is hardly skimpy compared to standard wear lol

Are you advocating standard wear? Would you want your fantasy units in overalls and sweatpants? - or the renessaince/medieval equivilant?

well, just do them like guildwars or other fantasy games, fantasy books usually have women wearing exotic outfits.

and boys are a lot skimpier, i mean the base unit (warrior) is nakid except for a loincloth.

True. But I always think on how fantasy/video game heroins protective gear is always inversely proportional to how badass she is. The more protection she needs/evidently would have - the less she actually wears. Oh, shes a badass paladin? She gets a total of 3 square inches of metal and 5 sq feet of cloth. Whats this? Shes a nimble rogue? And doesnt wear heavy armor? Give her a cloack and 3 sq feet of cloth. Shes incompetant and ugly? Give her armor! Make her look like a tank! Armor her beard!

There may be some connection between the lack of fully cloathed women in fanatasy settings and the saying "sex sells". But since Kael isn't gaing any money based on the downloads of FfH we can just ignore this bs.

Well hold on there sparky, i didnt say it was a bad thing .

No I agree. But with units this tiny, the "skimpy" cloths CAN provide the differences between the "male" units and the "Female" units that would be noticable from "on high" as it were.

The warrior units being the notable exception.

backpack or no backpack?

Backpacks can look bulky, and while normally Id say put on on, the "sleek" nature of the female half is often how we IDENTIFY the female form from so far away. So i say no backpack.

EDIT: Can you make the HORSE have a sidepack?

 

[Sureshot]

a cape would be better than a backpack

changing the colour of the outfit to say, dark green or brown (or gray, which could end up making it look like she's wearing armour ) would help make her look less futuristic

looks great! *votes for AlazkanAssassin*

no way of removing the glasses though? i can deal with them, but ideally no glasses

 

[AlazkanAssassin]

there is a way to remove them, it was removed for the cortisean unit.
it involves switching the alpha chanel of the skin from being used as teamcolor to transparency.
that's why the backpack that comes with the spy is also now teamcolor.

I just don't know how to switch it (yet)

 

[Sureshot]

still, looks absolutely amazin and the posture is nice too, was getting annoyed with the constant tea pot position of every girl ingame lol

 

[AlazkanAssassin]

When I get the glasses off what can we use the unit for?

 

[Sureshot]

a female hero that comes with stirrups would be fun (like available to any civ/any religion the way typhoid mary is), or give them pale blue skin or jet black skin, white hair, and a dark grey outfit and some pointy ears and maybe make the horse black and it can be a dark elf horsemen (since kael was talking about making the svartalfar into a female unit dominated civ).

personally id like to see lots of female horseriding units and heroes

 

[Silverkiss]

Sureshot has a thing with horses lol

 

[Chandrasekhar]

Hm... both the Baron and Mary seem to be "evil" themed. Perhaps a good universal hero is the best choice. Aside from that, I'm not sure what she should be...

Well I'll be dipped, this thread produced something useful! Nice huntress.
