yes they do, the paw strike where they move the oponent one tile back. you could mod it so it only does that attack animation.

Nice work Cepheus! 
Between slots reserved for new creatures, and new creatures getting published, I keep updating the NCF project page every day. And I like it!

Cepheus, don't you think the Basilisks should have other dying sound?
Besides, I increased their movement speed myself and they're real beasts now

You have to place it on maps yourself with the editor, and the upgrades are coming soon

I play with the sound off  But you're right, I'll probably mod in the sounds from Heroes III in the next version.
I tried increasing movement speed too and decided I was happy with them the way they are now.

Heh that's a point, I always have the sound off too, so maybe I could have made my mod more interesting by changing the sounds...

Nice! Maybe I should try to make my creatures for my project, but I don't understand NFC correctly. Cepheus, can I use your mod and edit it into lizard with different stats or could you help me, I just need easy tutorial for adding creatures.

Sure you can
I've fully programmed the upgrades, just need to make their icons transparent...
EDIT: The upgrades are ready! Greater Basilisks and Salamanders are now available in V1.3

I can still see the shadow of the riders. If they are part of a separate material to the lizard (which I'm guessing is the case) you need to turn off shadow casting for the transparent materials.

To be quite honest with you, I have no idea how to go about doing that.

Sorry, I was a bit brief there. This worked for the Sun Warrior (notice he has no Angel wings shadow): you go into the xdb for the rider's materials, then set CastShadow to false .

Hi! Sorry, but I have found a few bugs:
-the basilisks don't have the death stare and agility skills, even if in their .xdb they are present, they aren't in the game.
-the salamander have some transparancy problems in their attack and dying animation, in the jaw and the legs.

Thanks - tried it though, it didn't seem to work.

Are you absolutely sure? Both abilities work fine for me. Strange that it shouldn't work, especially if there's no reason for it

I realise that, but 2ndHero made the Salamander textures so I'd need his permission before I modify them in any way. And the jaw problem is in the Basilisks too, it's necessary.
Thank you for the input

Well when I right-clic on them, they don't have neither the death stare description, nor the agility one. And even when I move them, the agility effect should be present, with the green colour on their number, for the buff presence but nothing happens.
Edit : I looked in the text folder, and no creature have the abilities.txt file, maybe the problem comes from here?

You are right, there is some peculiar problem with the abilities in this version. The Greater Basilisks and Salamanders work fine... I'll check it out when I have more time, it's beyond me right now. Thanks again.
Oh and Abilities.txt files are no longer necessary for any creature in the game.

No, such file doesn't affect game in any way, even doesn't need to be linked in CreatureVisual.

Hmm when I first tried it for the warrior it didn't work, but then suddenly it did... now I try it with the Basilisks, and it works fine (it's false, false, true for the three materials).

Cepheus the reason why Basilisks have no abilities is that the "/" to close the Upgrade part is at the wrong place (after the word instead of before).
