Snow Ape/Yeti

Unread postby Skullos » 05 Jul 2008, 16:36

In the editor its called Snow Ape, in the game on the hero screen its Yeti. But there is no graphic for it, the placeholder graphic is artifact, the dragon wing mantle when in hero screen, and in battle mode its a wolf, lol, confused? Is the graphic hidden somewhere, or did it never make it to the final game?

I also added the Avatar of Death spell to my hero and tried to cast it within the game. Then it summons a ghost dragon (I think its the ghost dragon), but I was expecting something more cool. Also another unit not finished in time? Any graphics hidden in the game for this?

Snow Ape was supposed to be one of the new neutral units HOoF brought, but Ubival scrapped it in last moment.
I am back and ready to... ready to... post things.

There is a Yeti graphic in the data files, though it has no animations and can't be used. Also the Avatar of Death is correct, it is supposed to be a Spectral Dragon (though maybe an undead Paokai would have suited Arantir more) :)

It would have been cool (no pun intended) if Nival had finished the Yeti. I would have liked to see it as a high level creature, maybel level 7. Maybe have a cold aura that lowers the initiative of creatures around it and a chance to freeze whatever it hits for a short time. Immune to cold.

That would've been cool. I'd like to see some all new creatures in H5. It would bumb the game a bit :)

Anyway, it seems like sloppy work if the Yeti/snow ape is still haunting the file inventory, making people curious. Should've been properly erased...
This minor magical charm captures the viewer's attention and distra... ooo, pretty...
