I can help you. I can't play LaTale while my sister is on Maplestory. @_@
I'll work on it now.

EDIT:
How do these look?

Too big, it needs to be 32x32 otherwise I end up with issues when the walk down a 32x32 "road". In other news, I'm going ahead and going to get them moving. This took a long while because I wasn't sure how to impliment range, and I've decided that movement by key presses will have to do instead of clicking for now.

They are 32x32, they're just all on a 64x64 picture.

Ah!

I'll use them later on, but I'd rather have soldier sprites for now, seeing as how you have to click to select it. No presure on that though, a friend of mine is supposed to help out, but she is a little late with her batch of sprites.

Importing sprites from a sheet is actually very simple in Game Maker, as long as you know where to look.

Create a new sprite, then, rather than clicking 'Load Sprite,' click 'Edit Sprite.'

Your sprite currently consists of a 32 x 32 green square.  To load your sprites from the sheet, either click "File > Create from Strip" or press CTRL+I.  A window will appear which will allow you to fine-tune everything about the importing process.



...Of course, at this point, they'll all be subimages of a single sprite.  If you want them to be in separate sprites, you can either save each subimage back out of Game Maker, or create a bunch of sprites and use the "Create from Strip" function as a sort of 'crop' tool to get each individual sprite.  Or, you can leave them all in a single sprite and use a little finagling with "image_speed = 0" and "image_index" to show the right image for the right unit.

Weee! Update!

This is how your dudes work now:

If Lone soldier walks into another lone soldier, they become a squad.

Two squads make a Battalion.

Soon, I'll have the zombies move around into your guys, with a chance of demoting them at their expense or converting your squad to zombies.

After that, I'll see if they can manuver through cities to get to your guys, and follow that up by giving the humans a long range attack.
