Different militia

[Ardenaso]

the style of the shield clashes with his theme

 

[YourArthas]

Footman shield will make it even harder to recognise. Either try to make out a straight non tc simple shield with gold borders like classic or try a bandit style shield

 

[Altruistic Anduin]

This looks really good now with the bandit shield. Makes him look more reinforced than the standard militia.

Make another militia derivative so he carries a spear. It was the most commonly used weapon back in the middle ages, and peasants had little else but farm tools.

• What were the most common weapons used in medieval times?

I did that, but he uses 1 hand not 2 handed spear.

Good job!
Yeah, if you ask me, the spear is the unsung weapon of many battles and warfare. It helps keep the enemy away, but you also have the reach, so in real life, the peasants would have been relatively safe (unless they fight the undead).

I think the wooden shields are too big. Just regular round ones would fit militia more.

Why too big? Spearmen in history could have shields just as large, or even larger.

For warcraft is actually small

I said way too big for militia. Like low level peasants with cheapest equipment available. They shouldn't be equipped with tower shields. But whatever tickles your fancy.

got militia with a round shield? the oval one looks weird, when the texture clearly was for a round shield. "looks stretched"

The original is round yes

They can be used as models for bandits, which is great! Worth praise!

 

[Ardenaso]

Everything else is fine but they need a custom facefx as it messes up with the original unit model.

AWAITING UPDATE until it's resolved.

also they could benefit from a casual non-defend walk

Ok I checked and it seems to be a way now to trick the game.
Idk how you checked them but if you set them all as peasants and the original model will work. Same if they are all militia with a peasant.
If you set each of them as a separate model like a captain/footman/knight because they all use same facefx and in different models only 1 will have face moving
I will update these now that I know how to set a custom facefx from original file.
I have Cinematic Walk One/Proper Walk Defend 1 (the one they have is the original)
Thank you for your review and feedback!
