MM8,5 - Echo of Destruction

[vladimir-maestro]

Hmm, I think the best fitting class for Minotaur would be the Battle Mage, physically though and use of magic, comparable to the MM6 Minotaurs.
I know that MM8 Minotaurs used only clerical magic but they sucked in it, a Minotaur must be an offensive race.

unfortunatelly they are not fitting this class. our battle mages are assassins of the sorcerers - they could both use combat spells, mighty swords and ability to resist and reflect negative magics. minotaurus is too big and eye-catching to be a stealth assassin.

Most of new NPCs look out of place.

[MMXAlamar]

Wow! The Banshees look better than any monster I've ever seen in M&M! Keep up the great work!

[EnrothandErathia]

I love it! This is going to be THE MOST FANTASTIC MOD EVER!!!!!!!!!!

[Coldy]

That's very impressive!
Thanks for the update

[Panda Tar]

Ahh, the vampires are now more of my taste.

[Konfuzius]

Wow, first I had my doubt about the graphics because I liked the less realistiv style of MM8 but this looks great.

Imo the Blood Lords, Skelton Dragons and Liches even look better than the original sprites.

I must admit that you keep getting better and better. But the thing I missed most in MM8 were the dismal maps.
Somehow the maps from MM7 and MM6 had more life and felt more natural, I'm not sure if this is possible but are you going to improve map geometry too?

not the map's geometry but only the decoration. in a day or two i'll show you the work under "animated trees" in murmur... add the realostic tile maps (that will be done after whole plants or parallel) and you will see improved maps - not geometrically but graphically. + we can add more decorations to make maps look better but the engine and editing tools do not allow us to create more smother and high-poly terrain. maybe we could do so with new dungeons...but we are not sure.

thanks for all your reviews. you can add what you like or dislike cause i still can remade something. as xel said about npcs - they will be remaded for more gothic-like types. vampires will have some ghouls in their rows, maybe ghost gragon will transform into pale-white dragon but not a skeletal one.

Can you show pictures of the paperdolls of the charecters?

they are not fully completed and applied to the game but looks like something like this:

[EnrothandErathia]

Fantastic paperdolls! What were the classes/races again? I alwats wanted to see an efreet and angel race in mm8.

see some previous pages for this info: dark knight, sorcerer, healer, shaman, battle mage, forester, druid = 7 classes.

2 chars above are sorcerers.

This is possible, but tools haven't been developed yet for map tiles changing. I'm pretty sure you'll see some new or changed outdoor maps geometry in the mod.

[Coldy]

Very nice paperdolls

[EnrothandErathia]

Looks wonderul! Any update on the mod?
