@Sjeng-
I like your banner on the Death Spell Card and also your artwork substitutions for the Wraith/Specter and Villager. I'd prefer to see the abilities at the bottom centered on the card rather than between the icon and the edge. Small nitpick, though. Please do change the Wraith/Specter Card--"obstables" is a typo. Also, I'd replace occurences of "The Guard/The Villager/The Wraith/The Specter" that contain a definate article with "A Guard/A Villager/A Wraith/A Specter" or "Guards/Villagers/Wraiths/Specters." "The Dwarf" works, as he is a unique Hero. Monsters aren't unique, so no "The."

Alternatively, you could match the wording to the style of the official/original cards.

e.g.

NA Style -The Frozen Horror
Guard
Special Ability: Can make diagonal attacks

NA Style - The Mage of the Mirror
Guard
Guards can make diagonal attacks

I think the Elven archer is the only card with a special ability so I would be more inclined to match TFH style.

EU Style
Guard
Attack 2 Dice*
(*may be diagonal)

Personally I like to try and match custom cards to the originals in this way where possible :2cents:

Now that I see it, I think sentences with periods works best. Why not fully emulate the EQP style and swap "*this enemy" for "Guards" (no asterik used for Elven Archers) and "This enemy" for "Wraiths" and "Specters"? The Villager description already matches and looks great. :) It's really cool to see ghan's work stepped up a notch.

I prefer the "this enemy" text, as it refers only to the monster on the card. When typing "Guards" it could refer to other guards as well should they exist. I couldn't do that with the villagers, as they aren't enemies or monsters.
(My elven archers have no ability at all...) I've been using asterisks for special attacks or defenses (or even moves) consequently, so I'm gonna keep it that way.

For what it's worth, I like them. Are the spell cards translated? I'm not really sure what I could do to help out, but if there's something I'd be happy to give it a shot.

yeah everything is translated. I also have the images for remaking them. Only need time.

I could use some coloured images for the mercenary NPC's (see a few pages back). Similar to the men at arms, but for this quest pack.

HI,

Could you give me translated names for the Companions cards....I'm not an artist, but I do have BattleMasters and maybe some art from there would be appropriate. I could scan in some and send to you to see if you like it?

I need the names though.....for some reason the online translator tells me that the warrior looking one is called "Thick Gross"....somehow that doesn't seem quite right.

Chris

I have all BattleMasters stuff scanned in. Someone here did that already ;)
Good idea though, I should check those.
