This guy is not quite done yet - animations aren't the best and some are even buggy. Nonetheless, I thought that keeping it away from the CFC any longer would be unfair. :) In any case, he's got all the animations needed to function, but only one version of attack/hurt/die animations, and one fidget animation. I will be improving the animations in the next versions and will eventually have three versions of the animations mentioned above. In the meantime check out the sweet looking run animation. :D

If you're going to download and try it out, I know about all the bugs in the animations themselves, but if you notice any strange in-game behaviour, such as playing wrong animation (attack instead of run for example) or if it causes crashes I would appreciate it if you let me know.

Oh and there are not sounds for him yet, but that should be fairly easy so I'll try to add them next weekend.

Enjoy :thumbsup:

Man he looks absolutally sweeeeeeet!

http://boards1.wizards.com/images/smilies/dropjaw.gif Wow. Simply wonderful. And it's about time some non-mechanical units got custom animations!

Great work Rabbit!

Congrats for getting him this far Rabbit. Terrific work man. :thumbsup:

Very nice! Love the run animation. Keep em' coming rabbit :)

wow... thats amazing!!!

Thanks everyone :)

Ooooh, very cool indeed. Nice work, Rabbit :)

Just mind blowing, Their is not limit to what you can cook up.

A real horseman!

Great work, Rabbit!

I was just thinking why no one yet has made this, and might i add, very nice indeed.:goodjob:

amazing :)

Fantastic!! Do you want to do a Greek mythology mod?

Thanks, but between this and my other projects there just isn't time for another mod.

finally :) hell yea, very great work Rabbit... hope this progress gives you some more time for other things ;)

O yeah, now "only" the centaur archer, speartaur, axetaur, rifletaur,... catch my drift? ;)

No rest for the wicked, huh? :)

...and I was wondering where you were lately.
You've certainly taken it to the next level Rabbit! :thumbsup:, keep it up.

Thanks,

and yeah, this guy has taken up a lot of my time. I'll be able to get back to other stuff now that the bulk of the work is done :)

Where is this being used? Warhammer? FFh?

Well I don't remember ever seeing centaurs in WH so I doubt it'll show up there but I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up in FFH though I don't know exactly Kael's thoughts on that.

No rest for the wicked, huh? :)

Gives me time to mix a bit stuff to your EDU mod and Arioch's Flavor Units mod. :D

I hope in Centauro VBC... :(

So let me get this straight - you're disappointed that I made a mythological creature - part man part horse, instead of making another armored vehicle, not much different than the dozens already available? :confused:

I guess to each his own :)

Great work!!! And can't wait new FfH either, I'll pick Kuriotates for my first game of 0,16 just because of centaur ;)

@ Italicus- Why is place where I live inside of italian borders in your avatar pic :{

If your refering to the slight red strip along Dalmatia its not the same color as italy so tecnicaly its not "in italy" its just oddly colored. The real question is why is the Island of Corsica black when it was purchaced by France in 1768?

I would not be surprised in the slightest if the guys at firaxis can't do this. Your work is absolutely mind-blowing.

This truely is amazing, its nice to see something different. Kudos to you.

Thanks guys, though ohcrapitsnico, if Firaxians wanted to do this, they could've done it faster and better, for sure, but thanks anyway. :)

ChaosCentaurs exist in WH. So with a little modification to make it look more chaotic it will be very useful for me as well(-I will probably just wait for the final version to begin the nifedits). Great work Rabbit:)

Edit: that's of course if you're not interested in making a Chaoscentaur by yourself...

Well... Yes! :blush:


@Impaler[WrG]:
Beacuse Corsica, Nizza, and Istria are historically and geographically Italians, and partly habited still from Italians, despite the passed and more recent ethnic cleaning.
The Dalmazia, is historically a particular region, fruit of the melting polt of races and cultures Latin and Slavic.

Thanks guys, though ohcrapitsnico, if Firaxians wanted to do this, they could've done it faster and better, for sure, but thanks anyway. :)
I guess I got carried away with that.:blush: I guess you could say that they are paid to do that and you are not and yet people like you do this work for free on your spare time and its just as good as their work:)

Fantastico! Really top notch work there... It'll be nice to have more figure units out there that aren't just slightly modified firaxis units. I'm stunned!

Ooooh, this is sweet! :D

I put this in my MOD, thx.

Made a button for the Centaur:

Perfectly ok :)

@Strategyonly, @Rabbit
I try CIV4ArtDefines_Unit.xml settings by Strategyonly for centaur, but of that Horse-man is possible take control on the keyboard only. I made error somewhere. I forgot use my brain, maybe

Kind of hard to tell you if you dont put what you have here, so just copy here and we'll look at it, ok, thats the best "WE" can do ok.

Thanks. I wanted use centaur as 6uu - unit replace Knight in my HrochMod 2,9 - I now use unicorn on this position. This version I already published yesterday :( I wait for see centaur work somewhere and I´ll see where I made error. Many thanks :)

Hi White Rabbit,

I was playing Kael's FFH over the weekend - the centaur is one of my favorite units! The centaur still doesn't have sound so I thought I would check in and see if there was a planned update to this great, custom unit by any chance? It's an awesome unit. Very nice job!

I'm definitely planning an update for this unit, I'm just not yet sure when as I've got tons of other stuff to work on but maybe I'll make it a priority, it's definitely worth finishing up :)

sorry profs,

i need help, because the Centaur don´t work in my mod. I think i need the civ4unitclassInfos.xml, the civ4artdefines_Unit, the civ4unitinfos and the civ4civilizationinfos.xml.

Please don’t answer too complicated because my English is very bad. Just the bookings will be fine. Thanks

We use this model in Fall from Heaven 2. You are welcome to download it and see how we did it.

What a great honor for me that the godfather of moding answers me by himself. Meantime i managed it by my self on exact the way you wrote. I was just deleting the Fall from Heaven 2 special-tacks. Nevertheless thank you very much. I hope my mod will be finished before civ 5 is available

The centaur is really a wonderful masterpiece. For me it’s a miracle how strategyonly did this.
