Buildpic: The background is dark and a bit messy. A rather bad angle too, but still somewhat 3D and rather good. 2 is what I can afford for this background. The unit is ok, but not anything too special, you get a 2.5 at most. The merging between the background and the unit could be much better: The angle is a bit wrong (turn to at least <10> on the x-axis if you get what I mean) and the light seem to either be drunk or epileptical, since the shadow of the unit says that the light comes from front left, the terrain says that the light source is placed in front, to the right. Various details of the unit points to various directions and the shield reflections don’t tell the right answer. Still it’s far better than most of mine buildpics, so you won’t get zero but 1…
Buildpic: 5.5
Model: A very cute model in fact, but a bit too wide for my taste and as the previous mayhem units way too dark. Please, people there are light logo textures, use them. Correct mix of light and dark textures is far superior to just one sort. The guns could be pushed just a bit more back, but that’s only my taste. Anyway, 3.5 for the model and 2.5 for texxing. The corpse is there (so far so good), but you could texx it much better. I’ll give you 0.5, but it feels like you deserve less.
Model: 6.5
Script: Brilliant… I’d feel bad if I didn’t give away a full 10 here. The shield activation/deactivation is magnificent (ass all other shield animation too). I did never notice that there were an extra weapon in the game, just the main started firing faster. In every single way, this script is perfect.
Script: 10
Balance: I found this rather well-balanced… You either choose armor or damage. If you’re hunting undefended resources, use the damage, while raiding a base, armor would be your choice. I found this to be very well balanced except a few minor tweaks that I have to think through. Until that…
Balance: 9.5
My score: Although I don’t like the dark texturing and the very non-TA bp. This unit have just found its place in my totala directory. I will keep this one if not for other purpose but watching the shield. Maybe it even gives me a reason to try out Arm once in a while…
My score: 10
