I made this a few months ago and just realized that I never posted the finished product it in C&C, just the private LotM forum. This is a very simple unit, with just 2 animations because that's all it needed for the mod. I may do some other animations, but I don't know what else to do with it. It is, after all, a glowing ball. There are no sounds, but I will try to put something together soon. I realize that this is not excellent quality and am open to any suggestions for improvement.

Note: The magenta in the preview is semi-transparent in-game.

screenshot?

Preview added. :)

Good job! Expression is very lively , can use it fully in a lot of aspects. Thanks!

Indeed, a multi-purposs one, as it seems.

Has a nice Glow before the Flare... I like the effect :goodjob:

As I said before, very cool :).

What is it??

What is it??
It's a magical crystal ball.

Thanks Weasel!

"For there is nothing hidden, except to be disclosed...."Glad to see you brought it out into the light, WeaselOp!

Is this to be used as some sort of scout recon unit?

It looks really cool.

It's a flag unit that can be captured an carried around, with a very high recon range and detect invisible ability. It's spawned from the Dome of the Stars GW.

NB: Unless it changes in C3C 1.22, detect invisible doesn't work on recon missions.

It looks like an explosion. is that what it is.

@RL: mrtn already told you what it is; a magic crystal ball. From The Lord of the Rings.

What use is it?

And I already told you that. Of course, it can be used for anything you want, that's just how it's configuredin LotM.

It would be an excellent recon unit with an unlimited operational range. That way it can see anywhere on the map. Like a Palantir in Lord of the Rings. You have seen the movies at least haven't you? The thing Pippen took from Gandalf because he wanted to see it again, the same thing that Saruman used to communicate with the Dark Lord Sauron.

EH, I don't see any use for it.

Warning. I am getting tired of cleaning up your spam, trolls, and flames. If I have to do it again, you will get a temporary ban from posting. --Padma

I have one. It's perfect for High-Magic Fantasy.
