Slight modification to the Staff graphics. On second look, thinking about it more, the right arm in the pics looked a bit unnatural so I changed it a bit.

Added some leaves to his helmet for a little camo effect.

Version A = original.

The leafy camo turned out pretty well on a couple units I think. I'm not going to put it on all helmets, just these two. It sort of sets the regular rifles apart from "elite" (which I think I will try to use in place of mercenaries.

Did some more refining to the staff icon. Also created a new version. Which version looks better?

Many thanks! I'm tempted to go with Version B for staff graphics. Which version do you like better?

Both actually

guess that's not the answer you wanted. Tough choice, and personally I don't have a favorite one so A and B are great.

Version B staff looks like staff, not frontline officer. I prefer B then.

Version B for staff. How about an officer looking over a map?

Version B it is.

@Webizen: I'm having trouble visualizing how to incorporate a map into a scene and have it recognizable as such. You mean have him standing at a table looking down at the table or something?

That would be good. Especially if he was leaning on the table as he looked down and points at it with his other hand.

But I like choice B so far.

@Gary

I like these graphics so much that I would like to volunteer to help you get this packaged for easy use. Either through ATG's built in zip method, or a custom install script. I want to use these so I might as well make them usable by others. Say yes and I will contact you via PM to coordinate.

Here's a modified graphic with two people in it. I hesitate to put 3 or more because the models are complex and it increases render time and the possibility of the program crashing on my computer.

So here's the new vote:

Which graphic looks the best for staff or which graphic would you like most to see in the game.

Well once again they all look great, but *staff* in ATG is imho A, a bunch of guys looking at a map miles behind the front. (or in ATG terms 3-4 hexes

) So would B. C maybe... D would be a frontline officer those aren't really in ATG (again imho)

'A' fits best in terms of ATG staff.
