No new graphics that have not already been mentioned.
Note: Actually, Parthia, Germania and celtae should also have the general units restyled since they wore pants and not tunics. But I will skip that till (much) later.
I hope that as many of these graphics will in time be realised, but on the short term not many will be done. Please help with this big project. The dexcription and link are just example. Just edit an existing aoe graphic and give it as many things from the picture as possible. Leave a comment here if you like to help. Clearly mention which graphic(s) you plan to do, so that not two poeple will do the same graphic. I hope many people will help. If you don't know how to do it, just ask. I will give an explanation. All you need is slp studio and paint.
------------------------------------------
total more or less new graphics: 88
total number of new frames in case all animations (stand/attack/walk/die/rotting) are made: 17600 (I believe each animations is made of around 40 frames)
total number of new frames in case only stand/attack/walk animations are made: 10560
Luckily some are just basic changes of aoe graphics or look a lot like each other.
with rasteve calculation of 10 units in a month per person, one person would take 8.8 months to make all these new graphics. And I guess that's a very positive calculation. So people come on, help me!
