When Civ 3 first came out I remember reading CornMaster's story of his exploits as the CornEmpire. In there he had the joke of "Battle Cows" joking about the resources and the transference of cattle to a bonus resource. If someone could make a battle cow(s) units to at least replace Horsemen, that would be hillarious and awesome! :lol:

Just consider that as the "All of the above" vote.

I could see the Military advisor now

"The Russians fear our Cowmen"

"The Americans fear our Cowvalry"

"The best unit of the Dutch - that we know of - is the Armored Cow"

Perhaps we could have them stop on railroads hampering movement? (To bad we can't program that).

Stealth Bomb"mooooo"er

(Now that sounds like a nasty unit)

If they had then I think the men in white coats units will be knocking at their door.

Please do! WHOO HOO! :-)

Think you could do the others too? :-)

Thanks dude... hehehe

Gogf

Er... I edited that out of my post because I realised something: I can do one direction taken from the resource file, but the unit requires several directions. If someone can give me a model, I will be glad to make a suicide cow, once I install photoshop on my new computer.

Also, I'm sure an asspiring cut and paster can do the rest once we have the model ;).

Iggy
Mar 22, 2004, 01:35 PM
Well I would would love to see it if / when you can make it.

Sounds like a "must have" unit.

:lol:

Actually, I think Dom Pedro II might have a cow model he is trying to morph into a yak (that's not a joke).

Iggy
Mar 22, 2004, 01:39 PM
Is that a yak - the animal or a Yak plane? (Just thinking about the Stealth Bombmoooer unit) ;)

Gogf
Mar 22, 2004, 01:44 PM
Yes, it's a yak as in animal. How would you convert a cow to a plane?

Iggy
Mar 22, 2004, 01:49 PM
Buy the cow a ticket and tell it flying is easier than walking.

I had AoE II or is that the one you're thinking of?

If not AoE II I'd love to see a screenshot... lol

Gogf
Mar 22, 2004, 02:41 PM
What do you mean "if that's what I'm thinking of"? If AOE II has a cow unit, with the proper angles, and size, then we're ready to go (well, once I get photoshop on my new computer...).

sela1s1son
Mar 22, 2004, 02:43 PM
I heard someone talking about it above. I dunno if it is II or I. I was wondering which AoE it is.

the mormegil
Mar 22, 2004, 03:02 PM
There is a cheat on AoE (I'm pretty sure the first one) that makes your catapults fire cows instead of rocks. There - sorted. It would be difficult to get a decent screenshot since they are flying through the air and spinning at the same time. And I don't have the game either.

I've been trying to get people to make a cow unit ever since FLICster was first released. Good to see that finally other people are also interested in having them made.

I have Seigecraft, which lets you toss rotten cows into the oppoments castle to spread disease. Maybe I can find the files if someone can extract and convert them?

I have been asking for cow units since I sighed up as Sir Lance Alot, no one actually went around to doing it though:rolleyes: (pesloco said he would have done it, if he wasn't so busy).

I have a 3D model, but it's without any texture.

Gogf
Mar 23, 2004, 05:12 PM
If someone will do the texture, and convert it to a .3ds, then I can make the suicide cow.

Godf. It looks like you are getting closer to being in a position to be able to create this beast. Just think about it, you have created a number of scenarios and units etc, but your moment of crowning glory will surely come with the creation of the Suicide Cow, the ultimate bovine bomb for Civ.

If I had the kit or any clue what to do I would offer to help.

Ok Gogf here you could download the textured cow model (http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads6/cow-3ds.zip) :)

Here a little preview:

Panda Vs Cow!

And Someone would have to do all thoes mounted UUs, too.

And you'd have to swap the cattle and horse resources.

But why stop with the mounted units? Cows with Mounted Turrets to replace tanks!

sela1s1son
Mar 24, 2004, 07:25 AM
Hehehehe... perhaps the Horse would become the bonus resource and Cattle the strategic one? lol

All of this gives "lumbering across that battlefield" a whole new meaning.... :lol:

Bovine Brigades!

Hey it's better then the Cruising Cow Missle I thought up... just think about it for a bit.

These units really will make for an interesting game...

I think some fighting cow units should be made if possible aswell as cows with men on, that would be cool.

There is a cow unit in the CTP conversion collection... I think the units there are only completed if there is a lot of demand for the unit.

If we really wanted to get silly... we could add cow 'easter eggs'.

Such as in the city view with a building, leaderheaps, cities, on ships, amongst bombs from a place, wonder splashes... etc...

the mormegil
Apr 04, 2004, 07:39 AM
