I started trying to make this quite a while ago (really it was the second unit I tried to make). After several failed attempts I posted a picture in the unit request forum for Womoks before his disappearance. However no one picked it up. So now that I've gotten more practice making units I thought I'd try it again... So here it is.

I had to break it up into two zips since the whole package was 3.6mb (over 5 unzipped)

First file (1.8mb):

Second file (1.8mb):

Unit preview:

oooh oooh ooohj I wanna be the first to download this one!

EDIT: I recvognize that gamepiece.... its a Battlemaster's "knight" body with a "cannon" or "men at arms" head. hee hee.

Looks very cool!! :thumbsup: If someone could make a Heroes III Erathia scenario with this Griffin, that would be perfect! :)

GOOD GRIEF :eek: I cannot believe it!!!!that's the neatest thing I've seen yet!!!!!!!
I'm going to make a little shrine in my back yard just for you
and give it fresh flowers and a bowl of cereal every morning:crazyeye:

I dont know if it compares to the probe droid, that's pretty cool too.......:yeah:

Very Nice:goodjob:

This and dragons... terrific! quality fantasy mod is more and more possible.

Fantasy mod will happen.... next project. But it will have mutlifigured units .... just like master of magic....

only one word pops to mind.....JOY!!!!!:goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob:

That is nice!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

No words can express what I am feeling.

Very nice kinboat!

Though I do wonder why your griffin is playing hopscotch or leapfrog.

I've been waiting for this unit since you posted the first preview!
It was well worth the wait...

Master of Magic doesn't have multifigured units. They are one-figured, just like in Civ1. Multifigures appear only inside close-up battles, and there is no such thing in Civ3 :p

Will hapen... sure it will, there are already some and I started one too, but there still not enough units to make them look serious. I still HOPE multifigures will be not obligatory. You are trying to depress me after I said I would at least have an option to play "normal" mods, arent you? :(

This is great! May I ask a favor of you thought if it's not a big problem? Can you post a version w/o a rider?

Incredible :eek:

Now, i just have to find a way to introduce it in tech tree :D

Just when I think you couldn't possibly get any better at creating units, that you've reached the top of your form, you manage to surprise me with another, even better unit. I am amazed! Absolutely incredible! Fantastic! Awesome! I am stunned...

Outstanding! Just what I was looking for...WOW, Excellent Work Kinboat! Really admire your perfection...Love the details in your work. Thanks

Thanks everyone... Vuldacon has brought a small problem to my attention... The sound GriffonSpear.wav should be spelled with an I instead of an O... GriffinSpear.wav...

maybe it should be made a bit smaller.

real nice unit ,great job:goodjob:

Excellent! One of the things I've been searching for! And quite well done too. :goodjob:

What else are you working on?

Kinboat,

Good job! It seems you get better and better, are you using Poser4 for your units and leaderheads?

That looks amazing! :goodjob: Your work is truly brilliant!

Yup im using this awesome unit in my mod, and I had to edit the ini. ;)

Yep... All my work since the German motorcycle I did with Nonnob is done in Poser... I will be doing a riderless version sometime soon, Could use it as a wild one, or maybe used to put different people on.

Yup. Great idea. :)

this is one awesome unit that and your dragons im gonna add them all to my fantasy scenario ill pm you when its done. ( it'll be a few days at least) Well once again this is one awesome unit.

I "made" two rescources which can be used for a griffin rescource. Just quick and dirty hack and slash cut and paste. http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads4/mrtn_Griffin_Rescources.jpg

I like the egg resource, makes the resource seem so much more real. But then again, how can you have a real griffin egg. :D Good idea, and great unit! I love the way the wings move.

ohmmm....:worshp: ohmmmm...
Thank you Mrtn For doing these. Now I can work these into the Mod....:thumbsup:
Still I'd like to understand why mine work they way it did :rolleyes:

Didn't see this one the first time, it's really nice

Hey Mrtn found a slight problem with the resource pics there slightly And I mean Slightly alittle larger than the space boxs in the resource file, thus I get a aliitle half box boarder around the resources. I've tried to re-ajusting the pics. I would re-size them but my copy of PSP gives me hell when trying to re-size pics that small...

:confused: looked alright with mine? Don't resize anything, just copy the middle of the pic onto the rescource sheet. There is plenty of space around them. And I hope you're using the pcx here.:crazyeye:
