the ice golem

Pretty cool. I think, similar to the Lava Golem, there could be an explosion. Most likely the same as the Arctic Blast.

is his attack as high as that from a fire golem, if it is i think its 2 strong

Being an avid player of Chrono Trigger and some of the earlier Final Fantasy games, I'm all for pallette swaps, but I swear there are lots of them for the golems and none for anything else.

Cool!

Um, the new attack sequence would look really weird if he attacks any unit "above" him on the map. Just because he is so clearly throwing the ball downward.

Sketch is very critical this week. Probably because of all the new animations.

It's ok to be critical of people's specific ideas or contributions especially if it's constructive (like Sketch was being here).

I don't like people criticising other people as people though.

the curious thing is, i didn't actually make a new attack, it's something that was already there

I know, I'm just pointing it out.

Sorry if I offended anyone I see a lot of quality stuff coming in. I am sure Steve appreciates the work that people put into it and MR will be better for it. However I don't see anything wrong with critiquing graphics just like suggestions if you have some some constructive feedback.
Didn't realize I was coming across as a "meany" :P

No, I didn't have problam with it, I was just "doing friendly observations."

i didn't notice

The ice golem seems like a great idea. A good contrast to the fire/lava (whatever you call it). It'd be sweet to see this in the game.

Welcome back!

It would be more sweet, of course, to see it with the freezing part.

You can just draw Merlin light blue. So it looks like he is frozen.

Put some light blue pixels in a grid over merlin, with a little randomness in the hue, and a little nudge toward the previous colour. This would make for a realistic 'old school' freezing, and I think it would be able to be made fully by only programming.

I don't know if it's possible to check a pixel's colour(with lingo) though.

The ice could start spreading from top to bottom. Also Merlin would be shaking, even when he is completely in the ice. Then it cracks and Merlin is free.
Merlin could also be hit during the freeze to add challenge. :)
