We need to talk about Sartosa Free Company unit

[Xarko]

First of all, let me say that all the unique units for this DLC look absolutely amazing and team have done a great job. BUT the free company unit?! Not only its a lame reskin of Greatswords, they dont look like pirates AT ALL, they arent even like the free company unit. The most "piraty" unit in the game and they decide to change it to axe infantry for the pirate DLC. I simply dont understand.

im hopind dryrain's mod can do something about it

[THEDOSSBOSS]

Was really expecting 3 human units, a militia, a line infantry, and then maybe a specialist unit. A shame, really. The DLC still looks amazing, and everything else was just absolutely stunning.

It's genuinely atrocious. People were complaining that it would be a reskinned Free Company unit, that would have actually been amazing compared to this... They took Empire Greatswords and put a way too small axe in their hands... they didn't even remove the damn hats...

Same here man, that's exactly what i was expecting and it's a shame because the rest of the roster looks amazing and then they ended with such a lazy unit...

I agree

[Zoie Shales]

I think those are boarding axes, so Its sort of piratey, I didn't expect them to look like jack sparrow frankly.

[Hugh de Salle]

Yea i agree there shocking but ill just mod them so not bothered really.

They shouldn't look like standard empire infantry either. There's a huge difference between looking like Jack Sparrow and removing the greatswords from the Empire Greatsword unit and putting a Chaos Warrior axe in their hand...

Those look nothing like boarding axes btw:

I didnt want them to look like Jack Sparrow. I wanted them to look basically the same like the zombie pirates except being, you know, not zombies. SImple sailor clothes, some of them with a hat. Either dual cutlasses or cutlass+ pistol or both. It was that easy.

I feel you guys there. It wouldn't really matter whether she had them...or not. They'll probably do something, but they're so basic overall that they'll probably hardly never be used.

dunno, they are an early armor piercing unit according to the live stream. So she has access to AP at a much quicker pace then any other vampire coast lord.

Exactly, there were already mods with similar units, if i modder can do it for free i can't believe the actual developers would be this lazy with something they're asking money for.

Well, they look bigger and thicker then your typical boarding axe, Ill give you that.

I already said the DLC would be a bunch of reskins.

Look at what you've been shown today (aside from all the patches). They spend several minutes talking about a Therrorgheist that is just a green therrorgheist. Nothing more. And they call that a new unit.

[CloudAssault]

I actually thought the green depth guard (during the stream when they were panning around Saltspite) were the free company and I was like "yea those guys look pretty cool," but then they went up close to the actual free company and they just looked so... out of place. I mean at least change their clothes to be dirty and tattered like the rest of roster, but they ended up being a bland/sterile looking unit in an otherwise amazing looking roster. Not much they can do with the dlc being less than a month out, but I do hope that they take feedback and revisit their unatural look in this faction.

I saw 2 reskins. The terrorgeist, and the free company. The zombies had way too much done to them to call them a reskin.
