Yo, Ho, Ho, & a bottle of Rum!

Here is a new unit, no INI file or sounds yet (Feel Free to submit some). :p
If I make anymore pirate type units I'll post them here for easy location.
You can also use this for a Civlopedia image;

This is the first of my releases to feature smoke effects tailored exactly to match the civ III palette in one of the animations. Please test it in game and tell me how it looks. I need to decide if it's worth using it like this or customising it to use only one or two colours.

Nice !

Et une bouteille de rhum !

very nicely done SM )

It looks A M A zing :wow:

Good job, SM :)

Arr matey! This be a fine haul of custom unit booty! We all be drinking rum tonight!

darn, I too have the urge to utter some comment in the buccaneer dialect. However I feel it would be slightly redundant. Great unit

Looks good.

WOW, this one is gonna be verry usefull..... Gonna be my "tougher" musketman version of the spanish.... With high attack

That's really nicely animated - he has real character. Now, how about an animation showing him shaving his belly with a rusty razor? ..Or perhaps not.

LOL... I've just quit Pirates! (that other Sid game), went to the forum and what do I see? Help, they're after me!

Yohohoho... and a bottle of...

Looks like I be havin' ta add Bikke the pirate from FF1 as one o' me UU's from that thar game, ARR! (good job, BTW)

It came out great SM! :)

Great unit! I like the way it turned out!

Fast little... pirate. (at least in the preview) ;)

Fast little... pirate. (at least in the preview)

I think this is a thing with some browsers (certainly mozilla). Basically, when making the .gif a fps was not set. Usually it defaults to 8fps (I think)... but some things just play it really really fast...

Excellent :D

Now where did I leave that bottle...

yeah it is nice. Is the coat civ-colored????

Looks fit enough to take on Errol Flynn! Beautiful unit.

ARRR!!!! Now we can finally walk the plank...err, make our enemies walk the plank by raiding coastal communitys!

Thankyou Smoke for forefilling this request, seems everyone had it at one point, the urge to request for a land-based(urr, is that the approapriate term?) unit to compliment the Privateer and Aaglo's new Pirateship.

Huh, don't know how I missed this one. Bout time we seen a pirate!
About the gunsmoke, I think it looks better than the usual semi-transparent smoke (the muzzel flash looks.. tubular.. in a bad way). But if its a real pain in the ass to do the civ style smoke effects you don't lose that much with the gray-trasparent "shadow" smoke.

So how do we use this best? Amphibious, hidden nationality + enslave would be my idea. Good Attack, bad defense (too much booze). ;-)

That is great, Smoking Mirror! A much requested unit that finally came to fruition.

I see an early marine unit with hidden nationality flag :goodjob:

Arr, I didn't see this before (stupid me never watching the unit forums when I should be)

Coming into the Pirates mod with the 1st update!

"... I first produced mi' pistol and I then produced mi' rapier ..."
- Whiskey In The Jar, song :p

EDIT: I made an ini & put sounds in it! Collection from musketman (attack, death), scout (run) & samurai (attack2). I also added a victory sound: Arr mi' matey's, arr. Said by the cap'n in simpsons!

EDIT2: Updated. The scoutrun.wav is now .amb (it works now)

Arrr!!!! :lol: Great idea Passky! Theres also the Sea-enslave sound (ARR!!!!) that could be used somewhere in there as well(fortify..lol)

HO HO HO! Und ´ne Buddel voll Rum!!! A very good unit.

Adler

I want to say thanks a lot as well!
This unit is the one unit that gives the extra atmosphere to my Age of Pirates Mod (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=113368). It is the Pirate (5/2/1) there which is an upgrade to the Buccaneer (4/2/1).

It would not be the same without it! Smoking Mirror, a million thanks to you!!!

Not to bump a old thread, but I attached a ini for it. Looks great SM, going into my scenario.
