Nothing fancy, as I couldn't do much with the model, but it has animations to work like Civ3 helicopter, and it does so in Warhammer Mod 2.0 :)

All icons included + wonder splash and alternative pediaicons to use for unit or advance. 3D Model by PoseWorks.

Actually, that big ball of civ-colour doensn't look bad at all :thumbsup:

Nice unit!

Coolio... who gets to use it? Not the AI of course :o

Very nice work.

Beautiful!

Great Embryo! I can't wait until WH 2.0, with all of Aaglo's new units, and this one too!

Very good work :goodjob:

Looks like the ship of the movie "The Mummy returns", cool ship :D

Is this the goblin blimp from the same site as the wyvern model was from?

Looks good. I have to withdraw my comment on the civ colored balloon being too strong an element. It's not really and my suggestion of using the 'fins' for civ color was definitely worse. :)

Adding a "transport helicopter -unit" to a mod is always a little depressing as often neither player or the AI uses it. I could fit this in MoM somewhere, but I'll have to think on it a bit first.

It looks really good. It fits really well into my personal half-fantasy mod. So, good job there.

I wish there was any possibility to see a winged version, too, but I understand how hard it is.

Awesome!!! It lands in my epic game in any case :worship:.

Yes, it's the PoseWorks goblin blimp. I was experimenting with civ colours, and coloured balloon seemed to give the best effect.

As for the helicopter issue - not true! (at least not for the human player). In epic game, helicopters are of little use, because when they become available, you already have whole continents filled with railroads, cities with airports etc. But air transport can be extremely useful. Have you played BeBro's X-COM mod? Helis equivalents are key to victory there, the environment forces you to use them.. In WH-Mod it's a dwarven unit, allowing not only dropping normally slow dwarven units up to 10 squares away, but also transporting units between distant cities ie. those under attack (remember it has re-base ability). Sending reinforcements with movement of 1 from core cities to front line normally take several turns...

Nice,I'll be able to use this. :thumbsup:
Now if only someone could make a pterodactyl/winged lizard with a rider so the bad guys have something too... :hmm:

Mighty fine :goodjob: I'd been hoping someone would do a replacement for the ol' whimsical Civ2 airship.

-Oz

Looks Terrific embryodead...The CIV Specific Color is Great and Beautiful .PCX File too. I like the "Magical, Mystical" affect this Fantasy Unit creates with the Ship attached to the Balloon.
:goodjob:

looks great :thumbsup:

:thumbsup::thumbsup: This is going right into my mod. It is wonderful for the less civilized civs in my mod.

Playing X-COM -mod is one of those many things that I've been meaning to do, but haven't got myself to it yet.

Ok. I guess my opinion was based too much on the epic game. That sounds definitely useful. :) Is 10 squares a bit overkill though? How many units will it carry?

Maybe I could work out a place for this in MoM. :)

It can carry 1 unit only. It has range of 10, since griffons and such have practical range of 9. The airship can re-base to any city on the map, so I consider it a bit "faster" than griffons and other flying beasts, (faster meaning being able to fly long distances). If it turns too powerful in the beta, I'll obviously lower it.

Yep, I know.

Unlike me, embryodead has style and vision :thumbsup: :)

Hi, Embryodead!

Your units are beautiful and your Warhammer Mod is my favorite! Greate job! :goodjob:

In case you have time and wish, maybe you can make one more cool air unit? ;)
The airship is very good, but I think that we have plenty fantasy air units like gragons, eagles etc, but too little units like airships or balloons, i.e. humans aircrafts.
It would be greate for fantasy and ancient modes! :D

When I opened the link from the High Elf Swordsmaster I thought the Airship would be a plane or something like that, not a baloon!!!!!
But I like the idea, I'm going to download it and try it.
Continue with the good work!!!!
