View Full Version : Norse / Nordic Units needed
Spacer One Sep 14, 2005, 04:17 AM Ok, I am adding Norse Civs to my game and have noticed a HUGE lack of Viking type units...a few ships, a guy with an axe or two...
maybe someone could point me to some, or be inspired to create some...I have no official requests as there are several areas to be addressed
Plotinus Sep 14, 2005, 04:30 AM Wait until R8XFT releases Anno Domini later this month. There are a number of units in there that are explicitly Norse, and a pile of others that could very easily serve as Norse.
Spacer One Sep 14, 2005, 05:42 AM As if Im not already waiting for Anno Domini...but I really hate stealing eintire unit packs from mods..
mrtn Sep 14, 2005, 09:45 AM Kinboat's Germanic Spearman works well. And utahjazz7's Slavic Horseman.
Bjornlo Sep 14, 2005, 02:00 PM Some one did a pretty decent Huskarl as well.
There is a "frankish" axe-thrower (looks quite scandinavian).
Plus there are 3 or more ships.
Takhisis Sep 14, 2005, 02:14 PM Are you using single-figure units or munits, Spacer?
Spacer One Sep 14, 2005, 03:30 PM single, unless MU are appropriate...
specificly looking for a settler and worker who arent the originals...I got the boats, unless there is a Large Gallion sized ship...
Rob (R8XFT) Sep 14, 2005, 11:10 PM DomPedroII did a European serf (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=108406&goto=nextoldest). There's an outside chance that Anno Domini will include a Norse settler, it depends on if I get time before the release :) .
Spacer One Sep 15, 2005, 12:25 AM The EuroSerf is great... :beer:
settlers/workers are the hardest to find...Ive got almost everything up to the end of Medevil if I can just get that Norse Settler you made a vague reference to...
on a side note...I AM :drool: looking at previews of AD...want it sooo bad(and not just for the settler)
Spacer One Sep 15, 2005, 10:53 AM Ok, one last request, I got all the units up to Industrial (that shouldnt be hard) but I need Nordic horses (horseman/knight/cavalry) and some ideas on replacing the chariot...War cart???
mrtn Sep 15, 2005, 03:43 PM I already mentioned the Slavic Horseman.
No need to make a special Nordic knight IMO, they looked just like every other European knight at the time.
Check the units Steph converted for cavalry.
Arturus Sep 15, 2005, 04:46 PM In my mod (to be released in about 2 months), I have flavour units for modern units (tank, mech infantry, etc), and for the swordsman, medieval infantry, and galley. Other than that there is hardly anything available. I second Spacer's request, we do need some more unique viking units.
Kyriakos Sep 15, 2005, 05:03 PM the euroserf is amazing. He is very industrius. I also like his fighting skills, at the end of the display of which he inevitably dies.
odintheking Sep 15, 2005, 05:29 PM Ok, here are some good ones:
Rohirrim (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=2355090) by utahjazz7 - Made for the Rohirrim in LotR, but it looks very Nordic.
Rohan Royal Guard (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=63013) by utahjazz7 - Same as above, but a foot unit.
Russian Territorial Cavalry (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=2896113) by utahjazz7 - Russian, Viking; same thing. Russia was founded by Vikings anyway.
European Scout (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=60275) by utahjazz7 - good scout replacement. Could even be used as a settler replacement.
Klosevite Archer (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=127988) by aaglo - It's a fantasy WH unit, but looks really Norse.
Spacer One Sep 15, 2005, 07:08 PM ok I know its a ficticious unit, but could someone kinda "chariot" this idea?? Maybe not a Chariot as much as a war cart.
