Notes: Tarabon is nominally ruled jointly by a king and a panarch, who are both elected by the Assembly of Lords. The King and the Panarch are equal in authority. The Panarch collects taxes, customs, and duties, controls the Civil Watch, and oversees the lower courts. Her personal guard is the Panarch's Legion. The King is responsible for spending the collected revenue properly, controls the army, and oversees the High Court. His personal guard is the King's Life Guard. The only major political duty of the Assembly of Lords is the election of both King and Panarch.
Credits: Many thanks to Kinboat for his paperdoll figure along with his clothing models. Thanks also are due to Cyber Dreyk and Steph for their wonderful programs.
Enjoy! :D

Enkidu_Warrior Jan 14, 2005, 04:26 PM first post! first post! (first time ever for me!)
awesome work, cam! your units are top quality, and all are finding homes in my home-mod. cant wait to see WoT finished, too!
:D
EW
edit: come to think of this, could make a nice flavour unit for scandanavian medieval infantry. :mischief:
Mithadan Jan 14, 2005, 04:42 PM Cool. You keep churning out all these medieval units, and I'm so overwhelmed I don't know what to do with them all. Oh well, I download them anyway. Cool square shield. That's one durn long sword, too. An ol' wristbreaker, or at least, it would be for me! (I'd always figgered WoT-civs to be more of rapier-type folk, almost 16th-17th century, except for maybe the borderlanders and the Aiel of course. Must be from looking at all that Tor Fantasy cover art, and hearing about all the poofy sashes and stuff. Not like I'm complaining, I don't like the poofiness. Wasn't somebody saying in another one of your threads about how the WoT mod might turn out to be cooler than the books?)
Hrafnkell Jan 14, 2005, 05:30 PM Hey, that's nice! The WoT armies are coming along very nicely. Can't wait to see the finished mod. Do you have an Aes Sedai coming up?
CamJH Jan 14, 2005, 05:41 PM Since Aes Sedai are "never to use the One Power as a weapon except against Shadowspawn, or in the last extreme of defense of her own life, or that of her Warder or another Aes Sedai," we're most likely just going to set them up as advisors instead of military units. I'll probably have a Wise One coming along pretty soon though. :)
odintheking Jan 14, 2005, 05:42 PM The tree on the shield looks Gondorian. It could be an upgrade from utah's Gondor soldier. Good Work!
Pantsofpower Jan 14, 2005, 05:45 PM Very cool. I've never heard of Wheel of Time before, but I'll have to try the mod when it gets released. :goodjob:
joeskip Jan 14, 2005, 06:04 PM The tree on the shield looks Gondorian. It could be an upgrade from utah's Gondor soldier. Good Work!
Yes it almost looks like the white tree of Gondor.
I saw you had a new avater CamJH and I got excited because I knew you would be coming out with a new unit soon ;)
Kinboat Jan 14, 2005, 06:20 PM Cool :D
mrtn Jan 14, 2005, 06:31 PM Thank you! :thumbsup:
CamJH Jan 14, 2005, 06:50 PM Thanks everyone. :D
joeskip,
Yeah, I basically use my avatars as previews for the people that might not check into the WoT thread. Glad to see it worked. :)
Elril Astalder Jan 15, 2005, 05:37 AM cool unit. I've always been a fan of WoT books, and your creations are doing an nice job of bringing those books to life... in Civ3 form
Barret Jan 15, 2005, 06:08 AM Your best unit yet! Excellent quality. :goodjob:
BeBro Jan 15, 2005, 06:42 AM Another great unit :)
Yoda Power Jan 15, 2005, 07:43 AM Very cool:thumbsup:
[Ant]Wimp Jan 15, 2005, 08:05 AM Yes, Its very nice! Could you perhaps make the shield black with a white tree on it, so it goes even better with Utahjazz's Gondor Tower guard? Would be really cool for LotM :)
Hrafnkell Jan 15, 2005, 08:13 AM Since Aes Sedai are "never to use the One Power as a weapon except against Shadowspawn, or in the last extreme of defense of her own life, or that of her Warder or another Aes Sedai," we're most likely just going to set them up as advisors instead of military units.

Sorry, been too busy to keep up on the thread so I don't know what you finally went with for the mod's setting, etc. I was thinking of how in the past the Green Ajah were the used in war, called the "Battle Ajah" during the Trolloc Wars, so they'd still be useful for earlier periods. Either way, the units are great and can't wait to see it all done.
Mithadan Jan 15, 2005, 09:45 AM Wimp']Yes, Its very nice! Could you perhaps make the shield black with a white tree on it, so it goes even better with Utahjazz's Gondor Tower guard? Would be really cool for LotM :)I already suggested this (in another of CamJH's unit threads?), but mrtn pointed out that we don't need an upgrade (or whatever) for utah's Gondor Tower guard, but might use this unit instead for the Numenoreans or whatever (I can't remember exactly).
Goldflash Jan 15, 2005, 09:47 AM At this rate the WoTM will be done pretty damn soon.
CamJH Jan 15, 2005, 12:10 PM I'm hoping :) , but I'm sure you know as well as any Goldy that there's a lot more to do for a good mod than just units.
Thanks again everyone.
Takeno Jan 16, 2005, 07:35 PM Another great addtition to the CamJH Hall of Fame. :goodjob:
Hats off to you, Cam! :hatsoff:

This is True.
CortreX Jan 17, 2005, 07:08 AM CamJH, are you sure not to be in Firaxis staff?!...
Your works are definitely too well done! They should call for you!
Tnx!
Olaf_The_Great Jan 20, 2005, 09:10 PM Great! will be a great Byzantine Infantry until someone makes it ...eh can you make a Byzantine Infantry
CamJH Jan 20, 2005, 10:51 PM Sorry, not anytime soon. My to-do list seems to grow with each unit I put out instead of shrink. :)
And if Firaxis ever calls, they'd have to hire Kinboat as well since just about all my stuff is made from his models. And if they hired Kinboat, then why the heck would they need me? :)
Master Kodama Jan 21, 2005, 03:37 PM Sorry, not anytime soon. My to-do list seems to grow with each unit I put out instead of shrink. :)

:lol:
Don't put yourself down though, every single unit you've made so far has been excellent; not too many who that can be said about.
I have to say, while I like the tree on his shield, it really doesn't suit my purposes. I hope somebody (probably won't be you, CamJH, as I take it you are busy) will edit a version with a more generic, blank shield... I sure don't look forward to having to do the tedious C&P myself, if it comes to that. :ack:
CamJH Jan 21, 2005, 04:16 PM Thanks Kodama. :)
I don't imagine this would be a tough one to edit. Since the rest of the shield is blue, I would think all anybody'd have to do is color over the tree image. I've never done C&P though, so I don't know how tedious a job like that is.
wombatoftruth Jan 23, 2005, 11:50 AM Since Aes Sedai are "never to use the One Power as a weapon except against Shadowspawn, or in the last extreme of defense of her own life, or that of her Warder or another Aes Sedai," we're most likely just going to set them up as advisors instead of military units. I'll probably have a Wise One coming along pretty soon though. :)
Is it possible to make a unit with 0 attack and a decent defense value? That at least would be keeping with the rules for Aes Sedai. Of course, I suppose if you made a Black Ajah Aes Sedai unit they could do whatever they wanted. Maybe as a barbarian unit, since presumably the shadow won't be one of the playable civs, what with the lack of any actual cities, government, etc.
CamJH Jan 23, 2005, 01:20 PM Ah, but the Shadowspawn will be it's own civ. :)
Shayol Ghul is their capital city which is located in the blight on the map just below the actual volcano/mountain. It'll probably have some LM terrain, extra resources, or something to give it extra shields so it can keep pumping out its bloodthirsty units. A whole line of Trollocs is in the works for the future.
But a unit with zero attack value and defensive capabilities, I don't know. I haven't tried this in a game, so I don't know if it'd work or not (or if the AI could figure out how to use them).
Master Kodama Jan 23, 2005, 03:53 PM Thanks Kodama. :)

Yeah, filling in blue over the tree is exactly what I was thinking... I just don't really have the time to do it myself, and considering I'd have to go through and color the shield in nearly every frame in every different animation, I'd expect it to take awhile. The fact that I'm such a damn perfectionist wouldn't speed things up either :cringe:
@wombatoftruth: I'm pretty sure that you could do such a thing in the editor, but I'm not sure if the AI would know how to use it or not -- depends on whether you can check the "defense" AI strategy option on a unit with 0 attack or not. I don't see why you shouldn't be able to, but I've never tried or tested this before, and the game/editor is notoriously finicky about things like that (e.g. you can't choose "Terraform" strategy for workers unless ALL worker functions are checked, etc.)
mrtn Jan 23, 2005, 05:09 PM Well, just give the Aes Sedai attack 1 then. The AI hardly ever attack with their defensive units, and the odd attack could easily be explained away "I thought he was a darkfriend! Seriously!".
Takeno Jan 23, 2005, 06:07 PM I have actually given some thought to this. I was thinking that the Aes Sedai would actually be a double unit, the Warder and Aes Sedai. The Warder would be the normal attack, since they don't have any oaths against that ;) , and the Aes Sedai could have a bombard animation. To keep that from killing, just don't check Lethal Land/Sea bombardment in the editor.

I Have An Idea, You could Make Them Defender only units With Hi Defense:goodjob:
Never Mind Somebody already Thought of that
Plotinus Aug 16, 2007, 04:04 AM Someone already pointed out on another thread that you'd bumped it after a couple of years. Please stop doing it! The last post on this thread was two and a half years ago.
