	Unit Preview: Gold Dragon Support Apolyton

Here is a unit I am working on converting from another game. It isn't a simple matter of loading a file into a conversion program and saving it. I have to take screen shots, line them up, reduce the image size, and lots of copying and pasting, not to mention Ihave to add a shadow to it.. Also there are 30 frames per direction which also adds a lot more time.

I am doing this preview so I can get some feedback. I think it should be a little larger, it is a dragon afterall. I also don't know what the animation timing should be.

Let me know what you think.

I am not sure how the attack animation is going to look though. And I heard some larger animations don't look right when they goto attack. They overlap the tile instead of attacking it.

The default attack is a bite attack, not a fire breathing one. I will see what I can do though.

Looks pretty good Keep up the good work.

I also think the unit should be big. As for the attack I would rather see a firebreathing one than a bite.

Its very pretty. I suggest you make it big, don't use the biting attack, and copy one of the flame effects from one of the flame thrower PTW units, the fire galley, or the flammenwerfer unit.

The dragon looks pretty good. I also think it should be pretty big in size, and have flame breathing as a primary attack.

Good luck with the rest of it.

Hey that is a good idea, grabbing the flame fromt he ptw units. In the game it has a flame attack but it is a special ability and I can't find the graphics for those.

I will let you know how it goes. I am also planning on doing this one.

Looks nice... Too bad you can't change how other units are dying when attacking with certain units. Would have nice to see my enemies turn into ashes after encountering this dragon
