Absolutely stunning... great job!

I am increasingly loving your work.

Amazing, absolutely amazing :clap:

They look very good, but it's to bad you did not make the green of their coat a lot darker. It's really to bright.
I'm hesitating to replace my units with them because of that...

If they were darker, I would have replaced them immediately, the animations are better...

I'm torned!

...

Sure you don't want to make a third version, darker? Especially for the Russian Musketeer (1790-1840), and the Russian Grenadier (1790-1840)?

On a second thought... After checking the units... You used the civ colour for the coat, and the civ colour I've used for Russia is the dark green, which is close enough. At first I thought you put civ colour on the cuffs and collar!

So, now there is no need to redo anything! I can just use the civ colour version.

You rock man! :goodjob:

Hmm... You know that now you HAVE to make all the other European nations, including cavalry, so I can make my Napoleonic mod?

I can provide you with all the necessary reference pictures, and also with animated units at civ scale (converted from another game, they are good, but don't fit perfectly in Civ) for additional reference.

You are so productive and skilled, it's just a matter of days for you :mischief:

Thank you , Steph.

Actually, starting my work on this pack I`ve also been planning to make infantry and cavalry units of that period for Britain, France, Prussia/Germany, Sweden, Austria, Spain, Turkey, Mexico/Latin America, India. :)

Thank you , Steph.

Good! Just add Denmark, Portugal and Italy to that list, and you should have almost everything needed. But Mexico/Latin and India are not so important...
Well, for the Napoleonic wars anyway. I should still have the design for this mod, would some new concepts that could be interesting gameplay wise. But I "adanbonned" the mod as the people who were supposed to work with me did very little...

But if you make Mexican / Indian units, I guess I can find use for them in my epic mod.

In fact, I'm currently trying to see how I can squizz all these new units in it.
Normally, I have only 2 periods, not 3... But your units are to good to pass!

Do you plan to make Late 19th century riflemen as well?

I plan to make infantry units for all eras, including Late 19th century riflemen. :)

BeBro already made one, if you want to check it for reference, or to avoid making twice exactly the same.

This is an impressive pack...great work!

Great units Sandris. :goodjob:

Wow that's quite impressive! I couldn't get you to throw China into that list? :mischief: ;)

Sandris: impressive pack. Do you make your own props? my only problem is SO MANY...I cant deicde what 4 I want to use...


But Mexico/Latin and India are not so important...

Steph: you should specify that YOU dont need them...Mexican units would be more useful to me than more Europeans, India is definately needed...I have been trying to fill South American unit lines forever, and Sandris just started the Indian unit lines...

Why are you so determined to avoid Southern American units??

Quite impressive..

But is it just me, or you skipped the Pack #5?

Amazing :clap: Volume and quality. And thank you for the Civ-colorings! :)

Best,

Oz

But is it just me, or you skipped the Pack #5?

I reserved it for Russian Renaissance era units. ;)

Sandris, do you make your own props?

I used the props posted by Kinboat, utahjazz7 and other prop-makers. Props on my units just look different because of the new textures and transparency maps. :)

Well, that gold coloring on the Grenadiers is excellent...

Wow great units
We have very few units of the Napoleonic period
Thank you!!

I hope you can do more countries (austria, prussia, france, spain, england...)

Read my whole post. I said they were not important for a NApoleonic scenario, but that if he make them, I'll use them in my epic mod

Oh my :D
This is quite a pack! These are amazing!

I really do hate to be another pest but is there any chance of an animation in which the grenadiers actually throw... grenades? :)

Has this been made (The fellow on the right)

Could be a hit with any Napoleonic mod or even total mods as Stephs

Guess he could serve as the first Marine unit prior to some late 19th century early US Marines in their historical birth-time.

Sandris any chance of this...

Holy freak-knockin' tomatoes! :eek:

I did in fact miss that...I apologize...

/me slaps himself about the head and shoulders with a large trout

Impressive, very impressive....I'm so happy to see that a great unit maker like sandris is planning to do so many units...I think late 19th century units will be very useful, as we have a kind of "gap" until WWI, but we have to be patient...

And about latin/south american units...it's the truth, they are less important for Napoleonic Wars...BUT there was a large and important Indepence War in the whole continent, and in the rest of 19th century there were also important wars, like Guerra de la Triple Alianza...

BTW, Thanks again, Sandris....:worship: :worship: :worship:

Fantastic units, Sandris! Spectacular and very appreciated!
Could you please add Portugal and Poland to your List? Thank you, these units are great. :)

Oups, I forgot Poland in my list... And we also need Netherland and the Rhine confederacy (may be split in some major players like Bavaria, Wurtemberg, Saxony...).
So we need
France, Great Britain, Prussia, Austria-Hungary, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Ottomans, Netherlands, Italy, Poland, and possibly Kingdom of Naples, Rhine Confederacy (Bavaria, Wurtember, Saxony...). Is everyone accounted for? The missing, please raise your hand!

::Raises Hand::
Most of my needs are semi-fictional

Also: Mexico, Bahian(Brazil, but Not Portugal, native peoples), Native American(We have 2 muskets, but no Rifle), Egypt, Arabian, "caribbean(Dark skinned Islanders)", "Polynesian(Lighter skinned Pacific Islanders)", and I think thats it for the Civs Id need...
tho I could also add Ireland to the list, but Id want those guys to be "Out of uniform" in civilian clothes of the period

Very impressive unit pack! Finally, I can put some of Steph's conversions to rest. Thank you!

Three muskets actually, if you count Utah's older one(I like that unit too btw)

That'll be a challenge for "them". I am a guy with the combined strengths of teutonic stubborness and american tenacity.

Another wonderful pack, Sandris!!

Really?? Do you plan to do units of the WWI and WWII? Oh, if it is planned I will be waiting!!! Do some submachineguns for several nations!!

Sandris is fast becoming the Wyrmshadow of the flesh.....

Cool units, I like them!

We'd also need:
Knights of St. John (Napoleon conquered their last holdout at Malta during the Revolutionary wars)
Irish revolutionaries
French Monarchists (preferably with funny wigs)
Persians
Sardinians (very important in this time period!)
Etruscans
Sicilians (could possibly use stuff from the Kingdom of Naples. Possibly. :mischief: )
Hanover
Chinese
Japanese (we only have the Meiji Rifleman and a couple of Musketmen...)
Korean
Various African (from the Sahel, the Sudan, etc.)
Possibly some new Americans

What-if's:
Egyptian (upgrade to SoG's Egyptian Musketman)
Roman (Upgrades to Kinboats Roman Infantry)
Zulu
Babylonian
Aztec Jaguar Riflemen and Eagle Grenadiers
Mongolian
Celtic


Thankfully, Sandris posted the animations, so he doesn't have to do all of them himself :smug: ...

Theres already a Zulu Musketman just not a rifleman...

Theres already a Roman Rifleman/Grenadier.

But you have the rest down... ;)

Guys, I think even Sandris must have his limits. :p

As I said before I`m not against of making any of historical infantry and cavalry units.

All I need is:
- my time and inspiration
- your patience and sample images for requested units. :)

But you have the rest down... ;)

But that doesn't complete the lines :p

Anyway, I see you're setting about making the Zulu Rifleman :) This aught to help Sandris :)

@Sandris: I have no images for the units I put up, but they're not really needed badly :)

I'm not sure how rifleman-ish I can get him. I'm going to need concept art I think.

I have a truckload of pictures for 19th century Austrian infantry units!

Sandris is fast becoming the Wyrmshadow of the flesh.....

@Sandris: thats siggy material right there...

The infantry really knew how to dress back then, didn't they?

Sandris, your units are great! I like these! But in your work remember (for all civs you made)) an Arquebusier and a Musketeer! (for my Mod;) ;) ;) ) Thanks for your efforts.

OMG these units are great :eek: I agree with the color discussion, darker would be better. Badly needed units :goodjob: Another suggestion : the 2 attacks should be chained, I mean flow, you see ? Not Attack A, Stop, Attack B but: Attack A, go from one position to the other, Attack B. Would look better IMO... I also can see a part of the rifle poking through his hand on the big pic... good unit anyway, that's just positive criticism for the coming units. In fact I wish I could do half what you've done :(

Lovely units! :goodjob:
I wonder:
the AttackA and AttackB flics of the Generic 1812 Guard Grenadier seem to be identical, both shooting. Isn't the AttackB supposed to be bayonetting like the other Grenadiers and Musketeers?

1812 Generic Guard Grenadier`s AttackB (http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/59402/1812GuardGrenadierAttackB.rar) (Bayonette Attack).

:)

Thank you, that was quick! :)
Looks really good in action. :goodjob:

To all: the SwissMercenaryAttack.amb works fine as sound for the bayonette attacks.

Here's a zip file with the Austrian pics I mentioned:

Lookee here! (http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/34685/KuK.zip)

And here's (http://ah.milua.org/uniform/ottenfeld/ottenfeld.html) a Russian (sic!) website with tons of pictures of uniforms from earlier periods (1710 - 1816).

@ Sandris, just to pile on to what everyone else has said, this a great unit pack. I think you really got the animations down on these.:goodjob:

Just curious, where'd you get the hats for these guys?:mischief:

:king: it's very good to have more infantry units in this high quality!

btw: i need some help with my translation (russian, but latin letters)
- musketman (perhaps: "streliz")
- line infantry
- rifleman
- marine

Streltsy are basic troopers, armed with a musket in the 16th C, and a rifle in the 18th C.

I think that "Naval Infantry" as they're known in Russian are "Morskaja Pekhota" if my transliteration is correct.

Actually, i'll leave this up to people who actually know Russian :lol:

hey, a week late, but I just have to say how much I like these units. Fantastic work.

Hi Sandris,

I just noticed your notation, "Russian Musketeer (1730-1790). Defensive unit. Actually were not equipped with muskets, but were called musketeers in Russian Imperial army." Any clue what they were armed with?

Thanks,

Oz

Russian Musketeers of the 17th century were equipped with fusils based on the flintlock mechanism, so they should have been called fusiliers instead of musketeers. :)

ga ga ga gu gug... Wow! absolutly amazing

Good, but:mischief: ... You need to create more units for more nations during this time period like Prussia,France,Britain,USA,Saxony,Spain,Austria,Ot toman Empire,Poland,Portugal,Netherlands,Sweden,etc... Can you do it? or at least try and do it?:D

Hey Sandris I noticed a little quirk with the palettes on these. You have some of the non-civ colors in the first two rows of the palette. Those rows are for civ color.
Take the Generic 1812 Musketeer. Some of the black in his boots and hat show up as civ color in-game (greyish shades of civ-color, but civ color noneless. Try it with a very light civ color, like white or pink)
Didn't know if you caught it or not. Saw you made some new ones and Thought I'd let you know before you go creating dozens more musketmen.

Thanks , I`ll check them. :)

Any chance you could rerelease the Russian Generic 1812 Musketeer without the glitch?
