Panda Army

Postby Everzwijn » Tue Apr 28, 2009 2:31 pm

So... I was kind of bored today and therefore randomly decided to make my own custom army.

The result is this:
Image

YES, I DID MAKE A PANDA ARMY.

The pandas got sick of being an endangered species, so they made their own army and are now endangering humanity instead. They are also rivals to the penguins of Cobalt Ice.

The pandas face left for three reasons:
1. To help distinguish between them and their closest match in color, Jade Sun, which faces right.
2. To make them face against their penguin rivals, who also face right.
3. Because a majority of armies already face right.

I'm not sure what to call this panda army yet. I was thinking of maybe White Bamboo. Name suggestions are welcomed.
Suggestions so far:
Ivory Bear
White Ursa
White Bamboo

Here's the panda army logo: Image
Here's the full unit roster:

Pandas that have already moved:

And here are all buildings, AW1 style (suggestions for a better HQ are welcome):

AW2 style:

Now, I am aware that with new armies, there's always the problem of whether or not their units are distinguishable from others. Let's see if I managed to avoid this problem:

ImageImageImageImage
Above here are, in order: a panda tank, a JS tank, a moved panda tank, and a BH tank.
I do not believe there is much room for confusion here.

Another problem specifically for a white army would be the resemblance of their properties to neutral properties. To see if I have avoided this problem, I took a screenshot of one of our most popular maps, then changes 3 neutral cities at random to panda cities.
Image
I believe it was fairly easy to spot all three of them.

Here's the same thing in the AW2 theme (the cities replaced aren't the same as in the last image):

What do you guys think?

Don't really like the properties, especially the AW2 ones.

But the units look great :)

The properties need more contrast, the white is fine, but the lines and things like windows need to be darker (grey or black.)

I voted yes.
The plot is a bit unclear. If they fight back against humand, then why are the penguins their enemy? Penguins don't eat bamboo.

The name.. erm colour+space thingy;
Ivory Bear? (ivory = white-ish plus bear is both panda bear and ursa major.)

I use the AW2 properties so I'm holding my vote until those are fixed.

looks good, but I agree with Zovea, I use AW2 properties, so I think they should be fixed

maybe we could get smack to put this army in game, even replacing JS would be nice, because I remember he tried that once with the storm troopers. what do you think smack?

Because people are crybabies who can't have a single army changed without an uproar

That's right! I said it! -waits for the uproar against me- :x

*uproars against funwes*

but seriously

you could make it a separate army, you just have to change the colors to someting like complete black with white contrast, or something like that

I guess we could promise to be good, but I doubt that would be of much use. :roll:
