Changelog

Centurions are (the main) part of Shadow Guard by default, but their color palette does not match the Shakuras theme of Vorazun, Nerazim Console and Telematros buildings. Which on one hand makes sense, because Nerazim are a faction made up from many potential clans and subfactions, but on the other hand I wanted to give the Shadow Guard a shared skinset, so they could be used in co-op (Maybe in some custom version) for Vorazun as a commander. So I made a Centurion with this color scheme as well as added a cloth around the body as is in the portrait and added cut nerve cords on the back of the head. Additionally I added those big over shoulder decorations to the portrait as well so it all matches.

 

This model was made before the Stalker and I really liked the gems on the Stalker's armor, so I made additional V2 versions for Centurion in that style. However just the main models as on rest, the gems would hardly be noticed, so I think it would be a waste of time.

 

With abilities/upgrades I've come to a little rework to Centurion's shadow charge is it would be better in co-op. Making it available right from the get go and granting cloak gives Vorazun improved early game, which normally is quite tough, while also not making her broken. Additionally the cloak adds nice synergy with her Spirit of Respise prestige as there is a bigger chance for recall.

 

- Shadow charge (Ability): Intercepts enemy ground units and increases movement speed. Cloaks the Centurion during charge and for 5s after. Initially available. Can be set to autocast.

 

- Darkcoil (Ability): Unchanged from co-op version.

 

- Shadow dash (Upgrade): Shadow charge now allows Centurion to move through other units, has it's cooldown reduced by 3s and resets the cooldown of Darkcoil upon impact.
