http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Tilesets has a large number of tilesets designed for freeciv, so the "ancient world" units might fit what you want. They've got some stuff in isometric and some stuff in square or hex. Particularly, IsoTrident11 near the bottom might have a few units you want.

Found an xpm converter. These might come in handy. Thanks for the link.

Still swamped between school, family (need to make some sort of music video thing for nephew's birthday) and potential job opportunities (my video card fried itself recently and it would be nice to be able to play modern video games again someday, though there's still plenty of old stuff to tide me through).

On the plus side, house interior with visible (crappily drawn, but this is a test) interior (via mouse hover) test looks promising.

Hope to get back to this soon.

I used ripped Dominions sprites as D&D play aids a lot, it's worked pretty well so far.

Thanks, more sprites is always great.

Lich disappears from view. Summons Pteranodon. Wahid moves out of the way as the Pteranodon tries to bite him.

Fiendish Ape 1 readies action to Aid Fiendish Ape 2. Fiendish Ape 2 charges at Wahid and gets a +2, from Aid Another, + 2 from flanking, +2 from Charging, but fumbles due to a roll of 3.

Tek rolls 14+10=24 Knowledge Arcana. He remembers that summoning is a full round action, so the lich can't be too far from where he was unless he had a quickened spell or something to assist him.

Mask_De_H, your turn.

That all seems cool. I'll note that normally you don't need to "ready" to Aid Another, you just do it on your action and it's like a charge that gets used up during the aided person's next action. The distinction is important because a Readied Action changes your initiative position, and Aid Another doesn't.

radthemad4 · Post by **radthemad4** » Fri Jun 20, 2014 7:21 pm

Good to know. Since the apes and pteranodon have interchangeable initiatives anyway, it's not an issue atm, but I'll keep that in mind for less convenient turn orders.

One thing though, Summon Monster doesn't say anything about summoning creatures mid air (unless air counts as an 'environment that doesn't support' creatures that don't fly in which case I think the pteranodon gets a pass). The reason it didn't provoke any AoOs was that it was too high up for you guys (though it's on the ground at the moment) and reach. If it's illegal, I could change it so it was summoned further away, flew up just out of reach before attacking and then landed).

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Fri Jun 20, 2014 7:25 pm

I think summoning flying creatures in the air is fine.

...also, really waitin' on people to take their turns so I can take mine...

Lokathor · Post by **Lokathor** » Sat Jun 21, 2014 4:24 am

Wouldn't figure a Pteranodon would have much reach, would have guessed it was a 10ft space / 5ft reach type of deal like a tiger or a horse. Either way, summoning flying creatures into the air is fine.

Stab Fiendish Ape 2 with my Glaive and ask Tek if he knows where the Lich went.

radthemad4 · Post by **radthemad4** » Sun Jun 22, 2014 9:43 am

Camilla stabs Ape 2 for 9 damage. Ape 2 is staggered. Ghost 2 resurfaces next to Camilla. She manages to avoid its grasp.

Kinniku Kaiser walks one space (-3,-7) next to Ape 2 to punt him over the horizon and out of flanking.

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Tue Jun 24, 2014 3:46 am

Assuming Tek can respond as an immediate action, he'll say the lich is most likely within 5' of being 10' to the left and back from [grey-skinned dude, I have no clue who's playing who].

So you can't do that RAW, I think, but for my games talking is an immediate action that doesn't use up your swift/immediate action for the round.

Kinniku Kaiser successfully punts the Ape. It dies from its wounds.

Is there a reason that one of the fireball scorches keeps appearing above the range grid that follows the mouse?

radthemad4 · Post by **radthemad4** » Tue Jun 24, 2014 6:44 am

Good catch. The ground, grid and objects are on different layers (objects highest, then grid, then ground). I accidentally put it in the objects layer. It'll be fixed in future updates.

Avoraciopoctules · Post by **Avoraciopoctules** » Tue Jun 24, 2014 5:48 pm

Wahid launches a full attack on the ape he is flanking, while glancing around and trying to guess where the enemy caster might be hiding.

radthemad4 · Post by **radthemad4** » Tue Jun 24, 2014 8:02 pm

Fuck. I just realized that I've made the apes staggered instead of disabled. Both Apes are down as Ape 1 used a standard action earlier on to Aid Ape 2 with the charge before collapsing.

If the apes are Summoned (rather than Called) then they disappear as soon as they hit 0HP (or if they die in any other way). The lich doesn't get a chance to use a healing spell to have them stand up or anything like that.

radthemad4 · Post by **radthemad4** » Tue Jun 24, 2014 10:46 pm

Thanks for the clarifications. In that case, we'll have to rewind a bit.

Kinniku Kaiser moves to 1, -4 to get flanking and gives the ghost a smack

radthemad4 · Post by **radthemad4** » Wed Jun 25, 2014 7:38 pm

Kinniku Kaiser advances on the remaining ghost. He smacks it for 9 damage, and deals 2 extra fire damage. The ghost evaporates.

Wahid jogs over to the last place he saw the lich, and tries to punch it if his blindsense picks anything up.

radthemad4 · Post by **radthemad4** » Wed Jun 25, 2014 10:59 pm

Wahid moves to the Lich's last known location and is able to sense its presence right next to him. Wahid tries to punch it, but merely displaces some air (4 on d100).
