The new unit card project teaser.

[Arkatreides]

Well, it seems like everyone is droping teasers on you guys so here is mine:

The new Unit Card layout.

As you can see things are slightly improved from the previous instalment.

First of all, the faction icons have moved to the right hand side, so that we can now list up to 7 factions that share the same card. There will be no more duplicate cards in the new set. The faction icons will also no longer interfere with the text on the cards so they can be displayed in their full colour glory without having to make them look all washed out.

Next you can see that extra stats have been added. In particular every card now list a terrain bonus and mount bonus, information that was previously not displayed on the cards.

Best of all, all cards are shipped straight with EB 1.0 so you no longer need to get them from this site.

I WANT KOHORTAI HELLENIKOI. NOW!!!

They look brilliant. Though im skeptical about that unit... Is that a joke? Or a made-up thing? Hehe just curious.

[Bootsiuv]

So, we get all of the cards on our comp automatically with the EB 1.0 DL?

Makes we wish I hadn't thrown away all of my magic commons (the cat pissed on my binder of brass cities, spiritmongers, and a bunch of other ten dollar rares, so I just said screw it and quit).

Regardless, great work.

I am not a historian but it has something to do with Pydna and 'what-if' units I think. It will not be available from the start.

Haha I have a binder full of DragonBall Z cards, worth a bit I reckon as they dont make em anymore, one card used to be worth $100 back in the day.

I will have to wait and see! That doesnt stop me from being skeptical!

[overweightninja]

I'm going to take the unit with a pinch of salt and wait and see, the card is what's in question here

Looks nice, god knows the ones you've got ATM are a godsend so an improvement on that can only be a good thing.

Yeah, I even had one of the old painless multi colored lands....I hate to think how much those are worth now.

The entire binder was easily over $1000....very likely more. I had over 400 rares, some of which were damn near impossible to find.

Needless to say, I was pretty pissed at the cat.

It was a great game too.

Do you want something fake? Here you go:

[Bootsiuv]

Why do I have a feeling the first one is fake and the second one is real?

[overweightninja]

Gah I can't take it anymore! Time to ruin everyone's fun

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Original RTW Urban Cohort:

Hmmmmm....

[Sarkiss]

Why do I have a feeling the first one is fake and the second one is real?

what that 50 in bottom left corner stands for? is it a unit size? since folks play on different sizes (i only play on huge) should it be there at all? ...if it is the unit size of course

[overweightninja]

That unit size appears correct for the "large" unit setting. I believe this is considered the "default" for most purposes. For huge just double it.

[raenor]

@ Overweight Ninja, yea I know its the model for the Original Urban Cohort. I was just thinking they hadnt made a pic like that for them yet. I said I was Skeptical!

Haha I agree with Bootsiuv

[Bootsiuv]

Now that I think about it....that is pretty cheap for a cav unit....

I still find it very hard to believe that the first unit is real....I mean, come on guy, us EB fans aren't that clueless.

Or are we?

Well not really, its not that cheap. Its skirmisher/light cav its not the best cav out there so 700ish upkeep isnt that bad.

[Bootsiuv]

Oh wait....those are upkeep costs in the corner?

I must admit I haven't used these yet, so I just assumed it was the recruitment cost.

Then, yes, I think the second one is real....

[Arkatreides]

Ye of little faith!

I can churn out fake units faster than you can rebuke them!

wolf man?

[The_Mark]

Gah, check your Proto-Germanic grammar.

[Spoofa]

Thats a pretty huge name, just noticed.

[The_Mark]

Sigh. Haven't you seen what modern German is capable of? Like Hottentottenpotentatentantenattentat?

[gurakshun]

WOW.....are EB fans also the most gullible people in the entire world?

[The_Mark]

Actually, Arkatreides, you missed a t.

[Bootsiuv]

@gurakshun


That's been established already. Yes, we are.

@Arkatreides

Impressive. Maybe their all fake then...regardless, can't wait to have my own set of EB trading cards...I even might have to go buy a bunch of commons just for them.

[Ozymandias]

I'm confused. Are these the info displays that you see when you right click a unit, or are they trading cards?

[Bootsiuv]

They're seperate trading cards that you can print out...

I've even been trying to figure out a good way to use them in a tabletop format....which has escaped me thus far.
