:woohoo: :goodjob:

maybe you are expecting this, but... can you do them as humans too? :mischief:

More hobbitses, yummy. Awesome cloak animation on the burglar.

Filthy little Hobbitses! Wicked, tricksy, false! We ought to wring their filthy little necks!

Awesome work as usual Plot. The cloak on the burgular is VERY impressive :thumbsup:

Yeah! The cloack on the burglar is mindblowing? Was it hard to animate that way?

Plotinus you are just awesome. :goodjob:

Very awesome! I like the burglar best, but with green or brown teamcolour.. nice work. :D

Excellent Pack of "Short People" Plotinus...:cool: :goodjob:

These are beautiful Plotinus. Great work.

Great :)

Thanks, all.

I don't think that's very likely.

"Hard" is an understatement. After I'd put the model together and designed the animations, doing the cloak took another two full days. The animation still doesn't loop quite perfectly but you don't notice in-game, and hopefully my nerves will slowly restore themselves over time.

AWESOME !!! Another breakthrough in animations, another step forward in unitmaking !

Amazing.. Thank you Plotinus :love:

That is definately the best animated cloak out there.

Funny units - and well done! :)

That cloak is jaw-dropping amazing. Fantastic!

Holy Frick-knocking Insano-crazyness! :faint:

Wow! Thanks!!!

Wait.. wait.. the LOTM team didn`t know about these?

I don't think that's very likely.

Yeah.. that's why i hate these fantasy scenarios.. they create lot's of great units that can only be used in that genre ;)

I had requested them... but had no idea he had taken it and ran so far, and so well!

Short People Liberation Front?

:hmm: Did you do the worker & settler in another thread? Shouldn't they be here with these guys? :confused:




:mischief: :p

:wow: Oh sweet awesomeness, Plot! Happy Valentine's Day to you too!

Wow . . . just Wow! :wow: You really raised the bar on this one Plot. The animations look so fluid, especially the cloak on the burglar. :thumbsup:

:hmm: Did you do the worker & settler in another thread? Shouldn't they be here with these guys? :confused:

I didn't make a settler or worker, because Kinboat made an excellent Hobbit unit some time ago which has animations for both of those functions (all far better than I could ever have done). The LOTM guys are recolouring the different animations of that unit to turn it into several different ones (I believe). So the ones I made here are intended to complement that unit and also aaglo's Hobbit units and plug what I think are the biggest gaps in the unit line-up they've currently got for the Shire.

Happy Valentine's Day to you too!

Likewise! And I think it will be now that my better half and I have reached the end of the what-film-to-watch negotiations, the final settlement being Comedy rather than Romance. Luckily we have pretty similar tastes.

Really cool units. I like the Outlaw's victory anim. Very Ninja-esque.

How cute - they must be squished!

Really excellent animations.

I put the two smilies down low hoping you would get the humor - the joke being the frequent requests to you for very specific workers/settlers. I did not know about the LOTM recoloring project. I really look forward to playing the finished version of that mod.

Time you spent on the cloak was well spent, it's indeed a level of animation we haven't seen here before, and that bar certainly was not low to begin with. Bravo!

:thumbsup: One thumb for all, to save space:mischief:

one word: S W E E T !!!!

I cant really use them in epic game mode- but wth - Lovely stuff, Ploti :):goodjob: that burglar's hood is EXCEPTIONAL, btw !!!

Wow... :wow: I'm speechless... this cloak... :salute: we shall salute you, sir!

Ay juey! These are great!

Thanks! Now I have something to use for the Taru-taru flavor unit lineup in the FF mod (Basically, I'm using the Spearman as a taru Shaman, the Outlaw as a Taru Mage, The Burglar as a taru Conjurer, and the mayor as a Taru Summoner), although I'm debating about whether or not to add magical attacks to their attack animations, since they are going to be more or less placeholder units....

I agree with everyone else. These units are great. Hate to be the last one to gives a thumb's up but it's been a busy couple weeks. Bravo, and yes, the cape animation is absolutely amazing. Hope your nerves recover!

Ok, this may fall into the "Doh!" category, but what is the difference, really, between an Archer and a Bowman?

Regardless, these units are superb.

Nice job on the hobbits a very interesting culture group ;)

Ok, this may fall into the "Doh!" category, but what is the difference, really, between an Archer and a Bowman?

Regardless, these units are superb.Archer leaves Spade behind to solve his murder whilst looking for a dark figurine of a bird, whereas Bowman survives the machinations of an AI only to succumb to the headgames of a vanished ET. :p

Excellent work. I love the variety and such. The look is very hobbit like. The wavy cloak is a nice finishing touch.

:worship:
I am in awe of you, Plotinus. I can't think of anything to say here that hasn't already been said.
Absolutely beautiful units.:goodjob:
