NCF Creatures - gallery and poll

Here's a little something I put together to celebrate the combined works of the various modding communities for the NCF project. Enjoy, hope it all works!

Thanks very much to TSoD for the screenshots.

Note to Nelgirith if he's passing - your Heretic isn't included in the original photo display, because at first it seemed like the mod didn't work for me, although it turns out it was working - just that the Heretic wasn't classified as a neutral creature...

Click anywhere in the black background, and you can use the arrow keys to rotate the display. Click on a picture to view in more detail.
Old presentation










Now for a poll - vote for your favourite:

Please don't vote more than once

Thanks to Saverio Camaniti and Alessandro Crugnola for the Flash files.

Hehehe...the pie chart reminds me of a nuclear warning symbol. Nice job, but at times it annoying to have to use the arrow keys and you end up skipping a picture. I thing a plain old slideshow might have been better.

If you maybe make there be a next picture icon, it would be like a slideshow anyway...

Oh well. Great job though.

When more NCF creatures come out and I need to update this to display all of them (e.g. ToK), I'll have to use 2 slideshows, one under the other, so hopefully I should be able to space them all out a bit so that it's easier to view one single creature.

Oh that's right, I meant to say, something about them doesn't work for me (and the shadows are wrong for the armoured upgrade)...??? Possibly a result of LOD geometry / skeleton being combined with non-LOD animation...? (I had a similar problem and I think this was what was causing it!)

I like all creatures who are not just a recoloring of other creatures.

I mean, there are recolored Angels, Thanes, Wolves, Rune Priests.
I'm sorry but these are not that great.
The rest like the Blades, Thunderbird, Planeswalker, Basilisk are really cool.

My favourite is Worg, simply because I havent found any other of those new neutrals from maps (No wait, I did see Ballista once, but only in adventure map)

Ok here is my review, sorry if I might sound harsh sometimes, I know that the modders put a lot of work into it:

Suzaku/Thunderbird:
I like them, new model(unused one) for the suzaku, qnd the lightning effects on the thuderbird are ok.
Stat wise they are fine.

Plague Treant:
Model reimported from the beta, well themed creature, I like them

Black Knight/Apocalypse knight:
The model for the black knight is slightly different if I am not mistaken, the abilities are ok.

Undead cyclop:
Ok with it, it is an "official" creature anyway.

Ballista:
I like having them as creatures, they are fine statwise

Winterwolf/worg:
Usually I don t like new creatures that are just recoloration, but in their case I am ok with them. Sadly, I ended removing them because they are completely overpowered for their level.

Arcanes blades/upg1/upg2
Nice idea, using only weapons and effects is a bit like having a new model. Unfortunately I can t say much about them, I put the mod in my mod folder, but they never showed up as neutrals. (actually, only the creatures from the initial nelgrith pack seems to work in my game)

Pyromancer/Atlantian/Geomancer:
I don t really like creatures that only looks like recoloring, so I didn t downloaded them.

Tide elemental/Ice:
Looks like a lot to the water counterpart, I don't use them.

Storm elem/wind:
must have missed them

Fallen Angel/upg1/upg2:
I don't like the colors and it doesn t look like fallen angels for me, I don't use them.

Daughter of shadows/upg1/upg2:
Don't like the color theme, but I like the fact that the modder tweked the texture so that they looks like they are wearing snake skin. Don't use them though.

Stone keeper/ipg1/upg2
Still don't like these colors, so I don't use them.

Enchanter:
Very good work with the texture tweaking; intelligent recoloring, effect added in the hood. But the random monster generator doesn't put them in my games

Sun warrior:
I don't like the big big sword with the small guy, I don't use them. But congratulation to the guy that found how to attach the sword to the footman model, it started the generation of "custom assembly models".

Basilik/upg1/upg2:
It is cool to bring them into the battlefield. I don't use them though, because in their thread it seemed that they were lacking some sounds, I will wait for a finished version.

Templar:
Very good.

Heretic:
Kinda overpowered, I don't use them.

Planeswalker:
Good model, but I read that they were missing animations, and it doesn't seem it can be fixed, so I don't use it.

Runelord:
Don't know this one.

Animated protector:
Don't know either.


For my favorites I would put
1.enchanter
2.thunderbird
3.plague treant

Ironically I didn't get to see the first 2 in an actual game

Just to let you know: the Basilisk mod is finished.  All the sounds are there, it's just with the death animation you can hear the Dark Rider's voice.  I'm not going to bother updating that, it's too complicated to mod

First, thank you G_M for coming up with such interesting idea.



As a modder, I can judge the creatures from a little different point of view.

But I must admit that personally I use very few creatures because of their imba capabilities. Or I'm just nerfing their stats if I like their look.

Though Morrock's creatures are real masterpiece of recolouring and effect switching, they are out of my judgement, simple because I'm tired of 'hey,-look-how-entirely-blackkkkkkkkkk-and-evil-we-are' projects.

My favourites:

1. Heretic
2. Basilisk
3. Sun Warrior.

And thank you for all votes for my creatures, glad you like'em.

edit: if you can't find new NCF creatures on your map, be sure you updated it to 1.1 version.

Radar is right of course (no problem, btw ), this sounds exactly like what would happen if you hadn't downloaded the new NCF (version 1.1).

Hehe thanks that was me - proper scaling wasn't possible for me at the time, I could have made it smaller with alpha editing but couldn't be bothered!

Planeswalker:

This is my other creature, and I've not come across missing animations, could you source that statement for me please, in case it needs fixing?

I haven't had the chance to play them yet, so visually only, I would say :
templar, daughter of shadows / night / chaos and maybe arcane blades, or stone keepers.
