Phoenix Vision – a comprehensive modification of the game’s visual aspects.

What prevents us from recoloring the armor to the beta version and also bringing back the shield with the halberd?

In general, nothing prevents it. It's not a problem to extract the geometry from the vanilla version, and recoloring the textures is also possible. The question is how well it will fit into the overall style. In the League of Shadows upgrade in PV, I tried to stylize it with black and purple colors, and the greenish-blue armor of the lizard will look a bit out of place. Also, for me personally, the Dark Riders are associated with light armor and light weapons, speed, and the suddenness of the attack, and due to the halberd with a long shaft and a rather massive shield, this lightness is somewhat lost.

However, I must say that the creature itself looks cool. I would gladly put it in the neutrals, but neutrals are not really my theme :D

by the way, regarding the furies, besides the stir00 animation, there is no effect for happy and spneutral

I know this, in one of the latest versions of UNIT, I fixed all these animations, but I forgot to add it to the list of changes. That's why when I was making the VISUAL_FIX patch, I forgot to add the rest, I only remembered about stir00.

and in some of the alternate upgrades of the Order faction, the animations are buggy, they should be replaced with the ones used in the first upgrade: the animations for dead and move for the archer are not smooth, the attack01 and move for the zealot, the move for the Knight Isabel is not smooth.

I didn't really notice this before. I'll fix it, thanks.

very cool idea. it seems like a small thing, but it looks great.

Thank you, it's nice when the results of my work find a response in the hearts of users and modders.

At such moments, you realize that the time was not wasted :)

p.s. by the way, sorry if I'm imposing my opinion, maybe it's better to use something else as an image hosting service instead of radical, for example something else because there is a lot of advertising on radical, IMHO, it is very annoying.

Radical is convenient in many ways because it allows you to upload a large number of screenshots at once, has a variety of codes for the forum, and stores images for many years, so you don't have to re-upload them every year.

But since I have AdGuard installed, I forgot about advertising on websites a long time ago)) And until today, I didn't suspect that there was so much "eye-catching" advertising on radical.

Now I'm horrified at how many screenshots I will have to upload before the release of PV. (the most difficult part of releasing mods is their presentation :D )
