Description
Every unit in a battallion of regular warriors from Ered Luin will randomly use one of three different head styles.
if the beard was yellow on some faces that will be perfect or all faces
In Eru's name, floating heads :O!
I like that a lot, I think this randomic trick should be more used in Edain to give the armies a more organic look.
It is definetly nice, but the more individual objects a model has, the more the processing load is. Many units with random parts can cause lagging ingame. That's why we try to be more modest with extras like those.
It's understandable, I'm glad you guys then know how to select which kinds of units could benefit more from this, like these guys and the Dol Guldur orcs. Keep up the good work :)
love the hoods! and personally I like the darker beards, instead of using a possible blonde variant, have you guys considered giving a ginger of black and white beard variant? I'm not expecting you to but just like the idea
the blonde beards make them unique and if it causes lag then just leave it regular i hate lag w.e makes the game go faster and legit it would be nice if they had different hair and beards but the elves already have different hairs and the orcs are different and now ered luin
Believe me, we tried them out with blonde beards. They didn't look good. ;)
Also the random objects are built in a way so that they all use only one texture (to avoid lag as well), so there is no way to make only one of the three heads blonde without doubling the needed texture data.
I can totally see how the blond beards wouldn't work well with the new Ered Luin costume designs. It made them more unique, but oh well, nothing to do about it, I think.
Awesome idea about the Variations,they look really great. :)
you guys gave the arkenguard black beards and now ered luin black beard and the blonde beard will fit perfectly with the design, if its because his torso is gold and u think blonde ? is going to blend in to much its not and you guys gave them three heads at least one of the heads can be blonde beard or hair
eveything is perfect, but you guys removed some things that made them unique ered luin phanlanx mini silver shield and blonde beard
