Call the children! It's the...
:egypt: :egypt: Camel Chariot! :egypt: :egypt:

Preview animations here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=73335).

So this is my first unit. Just a copy-and-pasting of Chimtot's Riderless Camel on Vanilla's Chariot. The zip includes Units32 and Pedia icons, run, default and attack animations and the chariot's sounds (couldn't do the .../... thingy).

Also, this is not a complete version, as some stuff is missing... On a next version, I'll tie up the camel to the chariot with a second rope, and make the Victory and Death anims.

Anyway, it's all playable. Download it here (http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads6/CamelChariot.zip).

Def'netly going into my game! :D Keep up the great work Straczynsky!!

Good, good. I've got a place for it in my mod :)

I'll looking forward the complete version.

Yay, you finished! I like it, but I can't wait until the death... maybe using the camels kneel?

Yes, that's exactly how I'm doing. But I'm not sure It'll look good... Maybe I'll make the camel running away from the scene as the chariot breaks apart.

Historically inaccurate, but who gives a :cooool: ?

It's actually what I need for my mod, so thanks very much!! :goodjob:

Cool idea. How long till it's finished?

:lol: That looks funny :goodjob:

Tjedge1 => Not sure. I have University tests in ten days and I must study for them... So maybe it'll be finished by the last week of this month.

And thanks you all for the support! :)

Good luck with the tests! Lookin' forward to the last week of this month, though :p :thumbsup:

I like it, but out of curiousity, can a camel even be used to pull a chariot?

Hm... They're space camels. :)

Well, if they can have a rider on their back, I don't see why they can't pull a light wheeled vehicle...

Probably not. Camels are very stubbern animals (I think), and they probably wouldn't be willing to be attached to, and pull (ie hard work) something, but it's a good unit, and a good idea.

i dont think camels can pull anything ^ ^;;
but I still think its a cool looking unit
good job ^ o ^

As I've already said, this one can pull stuff because he's a space camel. :D

:lol: Nice unit... I like the dude's spear.

Look like a Llama Chariot :D

Final word: Yes, they can. :)

And there was an Egyptian Camel Chariot miniature for sale on E-Bay, as can be confirmed by this (http://www.google.com.br/search?q=cache:bawomdAgcTAJ:toys.listings.ebay.com/Toy-Soldiers_W0QQfromZR10QQlopgZ4QQlotrZ1QQsacategoryZ 2631QQsocmdZListingItemListQQsocolumnlayoutZ3+%22c amel+chariot%22&hl=pt-BR) Google cached page.

And, much to my surprise, Google's first result on "camel chariot" is this page. :)

So, a camel can be used to pull things. It doesn't even need to be a space camel. :D

So Straczynski, you've completed it ? :)

Nah, but I just had to post these pics. :D

It's on my not-so-long to-do list, though. :)

And now ? :)
