The Protectors of Etheria is a stand-alone mod of the game Warlords Battlecry 3 (i.e. it can be run without having the original game installed - 100% free full game). It is an improved RTS/RPG game with new campaigns, quests, terrain, units, items, heroes, modding features and more. Beta versions available for download!
A couple new features for 0.8.7 such as dead bodies and Human inventory.
The bodies could use sime blood splatters or pools beneath them.
I personally didn't like the blood pools that accompanied the dead elves seen in the official campaign. To me they just didn't look right and it always made the bodies seem freshly killed (which was fine for that scenario but not alright for some scenes in other maps).
We'll probably make the blood pool but have them separate (and have a few variations of them) and allow for the mapper to choose whether they want blood under the corpses or not. Also by being separate, you have more options available as to how to use them.
A few blood stains on the corpses would achieve the same effect, without making it seem like it was a recent kill. Some dismemberment and tearing could also do the trick.
