Added a unique appearance for Ksarphax, similar to the Abyss Lord. There were some hiccups, and I got quite a scare =)


I think the hero's ranged attack turned out well; it really looks great.

News:
Added all the heroes of the Conflux. 8 Elementals and 8 Warriors of the Elements. Currently, there is no technical way to assign them to a separate location, so for now, they are members of the "Academy" faction and are available for selection when starting a game with that city.

(+1%).

The forum is really glitching out -_- I've uploaded the latest patch to Google Drive. Version 20.03.2021 (there are 2 archives in the folder, one is the old version 21.02.2021, and the other is the new one, don't mix them up). https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Yme8krdH7L3Nt5WOzqc3g4uRxDQYUAXe?usp=sharing

I'm thinking of creating grimoires based on knowledge:

So, I decided to try it out, as I've never modeled books before. Here's a test version (but it will need to be retopologized, as the bull's face has too many tris and is very heavy).

Now, in the Blade, a level 3 upgrade for a level 5 building for the Elves is available.

The main features of the unicorns remain, while the pegasi have their own advantages (but they don't have what the unicorns have).

I also removed the death effect from the angel on the pegasi, leaving only the wings (the rising angel's soul). It just looked wrong and gave the impression that it was a copy and paste.

I can't seem to sculpt properly =( it looks creepy xD

Yes, it’s fine; you won’t be able to see it from a distance anyway.

Cool skin, and the effects they added are great; I would definitely add something like that, but where would I get it? =)

An ice dragon, created by my esteemed colleague **Nargott** from **WGE**!

An ice dragon from the esteemed comrade Nargott's WGE!

I was shared a Phoenix Vision file containing ice dragons. Now, I'm wondering who to contact for permission to use this character in my mod – the author of Phoenix or the author of WGE? =)

Today, two dwarf heroes received individual appearances:
Kenneth

Werner

I don't know when the **Phoenix Vision** mod was created, but I can tell you that the date when a similar ice dragon appeared with the respected comrade **Nargott** is at least May 30, 2012!

I don't know when the Phoenix Vision mod was created, but I can tell you the date when a similar ice dragon appeared with the respected comrade Nargott – it definitely existed by 05/30/2012!

Does he have a Discord or email? I would like to write to Nargott.

The Ice Dragon, according to my esteemed comrade Nargott from WGE!

I highly doubt that this comrade has anything to do with the mod.

The original mod for these dragons was released back in 2010 and was called IceDragons; I can share it if needed. The essence of the mod was to recolor the Greydragon's texture into blue tones. The creature's description was also changed, and it was moved to the alternate Greydragon position. However, it lacked effects and had some problems with animations, such as death and attack.
Unfortunately, the author of the mod is unknown because, in those distant years, the mod was published without attribution on one of the fan sites, which no longer exists. I couldn't find it on other resources back then, nor can I now.

When developing the "UNIT" mod in 2014, I borrowed the creature's description and its texture from that mod. I slightly refined the texture and created various effects for the creature, such as icy vapors, breath, death, etc., and also fixed some minor flaws.
It ended up in Phoenix Vision because this mod is based on the visual part of UNIT, and almost all the visual changes were transferred there.

Who to contact regarding copyright is more of a rhetorical question. Since it is unlikely that it will be possible to find the author of the original idea.

Well, I don't know if he still has it or not, but I sent him my work on the dead dragon on May 31, 2012. The idea was that this dragon shouldn't disappear without a trace but should remain on the battlefield, similar to a skeleton, etc. But I don't think I finished it... I don't remember... everything I had is lost because my laptop's hard drive failed.
