[QUOTE="Mirtek, post: 4359587, member: 40810"] It depends whether or not there is a reason that the minions in this particular encounter should look any different from the normals. As a rule of thumb I would say: Minions are easier to distinguish in a martial warrior culture, where leadership of the clan/tribe is determined by personal progress. Minions are less easy to distinguish in warbands of more civilized cultures where the leader of the force, equiped in the finest armor and armed with the best weapon, is the minion (and commands because he's favorite cousin of the king) while the soldier in the battleworn armor with the well used axe with the notched blade blade is his elite bodyguard. Last but not least: Fell free to switch as you see fit and make cultured opponents whith the best armed guy truly being the non-minion and make brutish hordes with minions indistinguishable from the elites. Just look at [URL="http://img295.imageshack.us/my.php?image=orcsfv5.jpg"]these orcs[/URL] and try if you can tell who is the minion. And like in real life the officer is not necessarily a better combatant than the lower ranked soldier PS: My opinion as a player: Please do not tell me who the minions are [/QUOTE]
