I'm honestly surprised you guys never heard of Pokemon sprites before (those were what we called those mashups). They were a large part of my childhood and I would often watch YouTube videos where artists would show off their work. There was some pretty impressive stuff actually. I made a couple myself but I lost them when my old computer died.

I didn't know spriting was still a thing btw. I thought it died when Aquablade11 quit. I remember seeing a lot of other sprinters quit at that point too such as Jcool, and Prima. (It didn't help that Pokemon eventually shifted to 3D)

ACs 1 are back up though. Also, have you seen Zukanov? It is also from him. But yeah he is mostly a let's player now.

Well, most mythological beings are renamed when they get to different countries. This results in some creatures having the same name, despite being different. For example elves can be foot tall creatures that play tricks on people (like Puck) or slightly taller than human people who shoot arrows (like Legolas).

Similar with trolls. The "Standard fantasy troll" is the troll from Tolkien's Hobbit. But that is not the only version of trolls. While true that the wikipedia can not be completly trusted, I think it is not entirely wrong on trolls here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll.

Basicaly, they can be anything from little imps in burial mounds to giants.

So I think that Kobolds could be called trolls. Not the only kind of troll, but a kind.

The mod is OK, there is a lot of men in black instead of real aliens, but otherwise fine.

With the trollium, I later looked at openxcom forums and found out that it is to prevent crashing on research topics only gainable by interrogations. The real problem was, that in order to research Alien Data Slates, I had to already know Alien Electronics, which are rarely gleaned from... Alien Data Slates.

The other prerequisite of the slates was Alien Codes, which I already had. I just removed the need for AE, because I was stuck researchwise.

Edit:

Update on the Openxcom thing:

Trollium was created to prevent the player from immediately researching the alien electronics. Capture aliens and eventually you'll get the research from interrogating an engineer, leader, or commander.

Same goes for alien codes, too, which are also required to research the Data Slate.

I just reread the original file (I kept backup) and yes, you can get it from engineers. The problem is, catching them alive.
Even now, that I capture aliens with stun rods (Because Dart rifles are terribly inaccurate) and have losses trying to do so, I mostly just get navigators, sometimes medics.

The fact that the most common aliens are Anthropods, which do not have ranks does not help things.

I just think that it should not be required to catch the correct live aliens to get the tech to identify which aliens to catch. Though then again I was going by the tech tree image that came with the mod and which does not seem to be correct.

I hope Haley's arrows are oaken. In some variations, they have to be oaken stakes.
