Thanks for fixing it, I didn't notice those issues. I'm hoping you will make it a new unit in the next WIP, as I'm not yet familiar with what LUA changes need to be made make a new unit. Were you going to put the orc lumbermill in as well, or should I try to format it to fit in the game?

My plans for the paladin and lothar are set back a bit. Their problems seem a bit more complicated than I expected, and it might be easier to just remake them at some point. The gul'dan/warlocks/necrolytes still seems doable and would effectively kill 3 birds with one stone, so I'm considering doing that next. I'm also considering doing the wolfrider with the same process as the spearman. But in using that process I'm thinking that a lot of other war1 stuff can just be preemptively HQX'd and put into wargus 'as is' temporarily, and then those sprite sheets can be improved later.

I like his building texture and grass better, but I kind of prefer logs over planks:

Maybe you should ask him to make a new spearman icon.

In Rituals of Rebirth Mod there is a WC1 demon icon, a bit less pixelated than in Warcraft 1. Here it is:

There is a better WC1 horse icon in elfcraft, it's white, but this is not a problem since it can be recolored easily

In dosbox I was trying different pixel shaders and I've found that the one called "supereagle" is the best paired with scaler "2xsai". I've taken screenshots of some icons and they look much less pixelated, they're far from being perfect, but they can be a good start.

I'd like to see what 2xai does with the slime gfx. Where can one download the 2xai thing? If it's unavailable, could you run the slime unit through it?

Don't remember exactly, but it's included in latest dosbox version and you have to edit the configuration. To make the matter simplier I can zip my dosbox folder and upload it somewhere if you want.

Or you could just run the slime graphic through it for me and upload that.
