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!!!

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.

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 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.

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:

You play far too much WoW.
Then again, crusader strike must be addictive.

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

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[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.

[russia almighty]

Cause of the first post my bullshit meter blew up .

kohortai helenikoi. haha yeah right <8D

[The_Mark]

Pfft. German huge words are just words stacked together. I'll up the stakes with some elementary Finnish: The word kalastajamaisuudettomuudellansakaankohan (translated meaning: by the act of not resembling a fisherman [with an integrated indirect question and extra uncertainty]) is derived from the root kala (fish) only by using suffixes.

[Basileus Seleukeia]

"the Bartix berzerker woman armoured with lorica segmentata mounted in an flying katrafactoi camel and equiped with flaming pigs launchers!!!!! " would be:
Die bartixianischen Berserkerfrauen, gerüstet mit einer Lorica Segmentata und auf einem fliegenden Kataphraktkamel reitend, mit einem "Brennende-Schweine"-werfer bewaffnet.
It sounds so sick

[micasa]

@Bootsiuv - the best tabletop is to have my laptop with the cards in a Word doc open on the desk behind me. With a wheeled, swivel chair on a wooden floor for maximum speed, I swiftly rotate, tap the mouse pad, scroll the doc and check the stats. Can do it blindfolded in under 3 secs! ;-)

I was actually thinking more along the lines of a tabletop card game that could be played using all of these nifty cards. I haven't figured one out though. I was thinking of maybe making some location cards, which would have things like woods and snow, so certain units would be better in certain locations, etc., etc.

But I haven't really dwelt on it any further....more of just an interesting thought as I looked at them and thought about the good times I had playing magic.

Theres nothing better than constructing a deck that beats everyone else's time and time again. I remember I used to have a few combo decks that would kill a player in 1 turn. My opponent would be winning, and making fun of my pointless deck that hadn't done any damage to him yet, and then I would lay down that last card and simultaneously advise him to 'suck my wand'. Good times.

Take a look at Hoplites. It's free.

[Bootsiuv]

oops, double post.

[Digby Tatham Warter]

Arkatreides,
Nice unit cards, an excellent finnishing touch to a great mod.

[Megas Methuselah]

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

Never mind German. Check out English:

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis


It's, uh, a special form of silicosis... caused by... uh... ultra-microscopic particles of silica volcanic dust...! WOW!!! God bless the English language.

[Bootsiuv]

That is impressive. Yes, the English languag does have some crazy ass words.

Most scientific terms are just ridiculously long.

The word above is a good case-in-point.

Can anyone even say that word? Seriously.

[CountArach]

Can anyone even say that word? Seriously.

Yes I can, listen:

"Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis"

Even though it can be argued that that's more of a Greek neologism than an English word.
