Hi!

I don't know what this is, but I suppose it was requested for the LotM/LotR (?) mod - as a dwarf UU. Well, this is what came of it: Ironmask. This unit is loosely based on the Warhammer chaos dwarf unit (actually a crew member of the chaos hell cannon).

The files:
Dwarf Ironmask (http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads8/Ironmask.zip)

Attached are a preview of the animations, and an extra-large civilopedia image

It's excellent. Looks nicely wicked, and that mask/helmet thing I complained about is nonexistant in this version. :)

Cute :) Great job.

My Units folder gets larger and larger with every unit you release.
Great job aaglo! :thumbsup:

Neato! I like this a lot. Still have no use for it personally... but one of these days I'm going to play one of these fantasy mods and be blown away! :thumbsup:

Another great unit aaglo :goodjob:

And the obligitory avatar to go with it :D

Edit:
Does this mean we all just post and no one looks at that what the others are saying?

awesome! :D whats next on the rotation of dwarf/hob-gob units? a hob-gob (slave) worker(and mabet settler) perhaps? :mischief:

This is so cool! :goodjob:

Ha ha, that's awesome aaglo! This guy'll be fightin' some fire-breathing drakes in no time! I really like his mask, especially because it includes an iron beard. :D Now the LotM crew (me included) will have to think even harder about what unit to request should they win (again) Kinboat's lottery... :lol:

Excellent unit, aaglo!

Nice :D

Awesome unit. It will replace some bad graphix in my mod. Maybe.

this unit is amazing

all your dwarves are very nice looking

Great! Just what I needed:D:thumbsup:

Wow! He's brilliant Aaglo! He feels very LotR to me, well done!

That's excellent, Aaglo. Thanks very much. ;)

Fantastic unit aaglo, very good! :)

and doth they sing with a pint in one hand and a super size pretzel in the other! ;) Great unit.

Another great unit aaglo :salute:

excellent job a )

Class! :thumbsup: :D

I love the unit, but it's a tad too big to blend in well with the older dwarf graphics.

So, as I've never resized units before, I'm asking some helpful soul to resize this beauty into 95% size. I know it's not difficult, but I've got my hands full with all my modding already, so I don't really want to start learning unit resizing at the moment.

Too big? Do remember, that dwarfs come also in different shapes and sizes. A lame excuse would be that these are "giants among dwarfs", hand-picked by the king himself.. :mischief:

I can't resize the existing units either (actually I don't know how). In an emergency I could re-render the files, if the size issue bothers too much.

Don't bother with the re-render, If nobody resizes it, I'll just use it at 100%. However, I bet the LOTM crew will take my bait and resize it for me. *evil laughter*.

;)

We have other stuff to shrink first. :p I haven't compared this to the other dwarfs, I'll have to check it out.

@mrtn

The unit isn't really any taller than Kindred's (and ED's) dwarves so aaglo had the size right. It's just that it's so much fatter than them, that it looks bigger. Now that I compare them again, I'm not sure if it needs resizing after all. Yes, it gives an impression of a bigger unit, but it's also clearly a dwarf.

Looks good to me. These guys were just the "linebackers" of the Dwarvish army, let's say... ;)

I suppose it's a Dwarf Arnie.

:goodjob:

I suppose it's a Dwarf Arnie.
Yeah that must be it! "Hasta la vista, baby!" :lol:

Incredible. Yet another nice job aaglo!

Aaglo, these units are great, especially considering what program you're using :crazyeye:

I've also realized something recently (after doing some "research" with FF IX): Your Chaos Dwarves are actually closer to what Final Fantasy style dwarves look like than most of the ones that Kindred and Embryodead did. I'll still be using the Dwarven High guard (Kindred's, I believe) and Embryodead's dwarven Berserker as the Dwarven Knight and Berserker, respectively. This guy's going right in as a "Battle-Rager" and your blunderbuss guy will be the new dwarven rifleman :evil: Now all I need is a sound clip of the blunderbuss guy saying, "I shot the sherrif, his deputy and YOUR WEE DOGGEH TOU!!" (okay, bad Warcraft III referance....) Sooo... Basically I've got some quick graphics/pediaicons.txt editing to do tonight.
