The bottom right one actually looks really nice. With some additional touches (not sure what they should be  ) I think it would look excellent. The rest (no offense) sort of look like they were just run though a bad Instagram filter. At least, in my inexperienced eyes.
I liked that one too. Combine that one with the redesign and I might be perfectly pleased.

It looks better than the others, yeah. Here's the larger version.
Quote:
Changing lights/palette swap won't help if all buildings are in same colour.
It's a step in the right direction at least. Adds a bit of contrasts.
But I agree that there should be more colors than a variety of one.
Quote:
It's not purple lights fault, it's all together (lights, buildings, background) in this town screen look bad - you have to change some buildings pallete here and there to correct this.
Me 'you' or a general 'you'?
This is less of a "look what I can do" and more of a "see what can be done".
You really think the buildings look bad?

I liked the blueish fan-made version.
It would be cool if we could have some fog in there. You know.. darkelves are all about trance, rituals, narcotics..
at least some kind of magic mist, anyone remember the mana vortex from H3? :]

*Sigh*
The problem with that screen is simply that you SEE THE LIGHT SOURCES! You basically have to do the screen, then put light sources BEHIND obstacles. THEN you can work with what you get to produce something.

General "you" term.

They look nice but all are purple - that is their problem. The desing is fine.

Tbh I find the whole "Dungeon is too bright"
As well as too uniform in color, which is just bad design.
Besides, all that light (especially in the middle) is frackin' distractin'!
Maybe, but it's consistent. And again I don't get how's it distracting

Maybe it has something to do with what type of monitor we're viewing it from,
but to me it looks like someone put a big lens flare in the middle of the screen,
and my eyes are automatically drawn to what is bascially nothing of interest.

Some more speculations for dungeon:
Racial ability:
When you cast the racial on a unit, the unit becomes faded (shadowy) and then all damage from attacks/retaliations/spells of enemy units/hero are very low at like 10% of normal damage. The racial could last for 2 turns.
Racial Gauge:
Maybe the gaage increases by focusing attacks on one enemy unit at a time (opposite of Sanctuary).

I think we all forgot about Assassin's Creed Blade description and abilities. There are some clues:
Quote:
In 528 YSD, Arniel the High Elven King proclaimed himself the unique hereditary monarch and withdrew all prerogatives from local kings. Queen Thuidana chose to secede instead. Taking advantage of the situation, the humans of the Holy Falcon Empire invaded the lands of Thuidana who sought aid from the self-proclaimed High King. Arniel refused. In order to save her own, Thuidana turned towards the Faceless and Malassa in desperation. They were willing to help under the condition that her people vow allegiance to the Dragon of Darkness.
In 548 YSD, the Peace of the New Spring marks the independence of the Kingdom of Dark Elves. The Assassin's Blade is among the most precious gifts offered by the Faceless. They sacrificed two amongst themselves to bind their essence into the blade and give birth to this sword.
The two souls form the power of the sword: a blade for learning and a blade for killing. Master of Forbidden Lore, the Faceless gave birth to a veritable living sword that keeps a memory of each combat, each victim and each deathly exchange of steel. The nature of the sword itself convinced Thuidana to loan the sword regularly to her assassins so that they might enrich its knowledge constantly. The best amongst them passed the sword between them, year after year, in order to increase its knowledge and transform it into a superior artifact.
- Deadly Poison
Targets of the hero's attacks are tainted with poison. Poisoned target becomes immune to healing effects and receives 16 damage (Earth) per turn. Lasts for 2 turns.
- Shadowstrike
Creature is incorporeal for 2 turns and can move through stacks, walls, and obstacles. Also reduces damage (Might) received by 30%. Ghosts and Spectres are not affected.
- Improved Shadowstrike
The first attack of the creature benefitting from Shadowstrike also inflicts poison on its target. Deals 16 damage (Earth) per turn. Lasts for 2 turns.

I'm sorry, but I highly doubt that Dungeons racial will coincide with the abilities of a Dynasty Weapon.

I'm not talking about racial but on units/heroes general abilities. Ubisoft just loves to put heroes skills as dynasty weapons specials and vice-versa.

Most of those abilities were already hinted/discussed in this thread...
