Okay I would like someone to please make me a Dwarf Spearman or Spearman replacement. I will use it for my "Quest for the Rubies" Fantasy mod. Also a Dwarf Settler or any other Fantasy-type Settler or Worker would be nice. Okay in case that souded too demanding I'll ad: PLEASE! PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE! THANK YOU! Okay that maybe sounded sort of wierd. Oh well.

PS: Kindred 72 if you are reading this please make me at least one of these units because you make really cool dwarves! Thanks again!

Oops I accidentally made two of the same thread.

I second the call for a Dwarf settler.

A dwarf spearman I really need in my mod. I also ned a dwarf horseman or something to replace a horse.

For the dwarf settler, you could just use the worker that Kindred made, just set the build city animation to the mining one (to simulate diging a new dwarf city/mine). As for mounted units, I'd say that since the orcs ride the wargs, you should have the dwarves riding Dire wolves (like they do in the fantasy story I've been writing off and on for the past 4 years). Perhapes one of the C&P guys could paste the Dwarven Berserker on the back of one of Embryodead's dire wolves. :D

Good idea, Hikaro, but I already have the orcs on wargs AND wolves, but do think it would work?

I already am using the Dwarf Worker and my scenario might get confusing with two different units that look identical.

ED did it in the Warhammer mod, and it's not TOO confusing.

Nah, Dwarves mount Urkhan Worms, it's well known ;)

yes. Dwares are notoriously afraid of high mounts.

About Dwarves and riders, did someone know the Sovereign Stones settings ? There, Dwarves are very similar to Mongols. Did someone read those books (real books or RPGs) ?

I fourth it. A dwarven pony rider -- didn't anybody ever read the hobbit?

Goldflash
Aug 21, 2004, 06:28 PM
I was thinking the same thing! Dwarves Ride little shaggy ponies.

Ulesse
Aug 22, 2004, 12:40 PM
Why argue over what they ride? They can ride anything. It all depends on what you can come up with. So if anyone can make a dwarf riding anything, I would gladly use it.

Supa
Aug 22, 2004, 01:20 PM
We aren't arguing :) We are trying to milk out the maximum of Dwarf Riders from units creators ;)

Ulesse
Aug 24, 2004, 09:31 AM
Sure whatever. So I hope someone starts making these... Grond would make them but as of yet we can't edit pcx files so doing this is basically impossible.

Ulesse
Aug 24, 2004, 09:32 AM
Grond is the other guy who's working on our mod if anyone wanted to know.

Ulesse
Aug 24, 2004, 03:40 PM
People get going on this. Not to sound rude...

I shrunk some units to be used as dwarves. They're not top quality, but better than nothing.
Germanic Spearman (http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/Dwarven_Spearman.zip)
AoK non-throwing Throwing Axeman (http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/Dwarven_Axeman.zip)
Babylonian Bowman (http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/Dwarf_Archer.zip)
I also shrunk the Viking Swordsman by utahjazz7, and posted it in that thread.
Now stop being rude. :p

Ulesse
Aug 24, 2004, 07:42 PM
I knew that sounded impolite. Sorry.

Ulesse
Aug 24, 2004, 07:43 PM
Love the spearman! He looks great!

Ulesse
Aug 24, 2004, 08:20 PM
And the Viking Swordsman is superb!!! I had no idea you were so good at this shrinking stuff! Wow!

Ulesse
Aug 24, 2004, 08:22 PM
Oh yeah and if you have time (Keyphrase IF. I'm not gonna make this sound rude again because you really don't have to) you should shrink one of those crossbowmen lots of people make.

Ulesse
Aug 24, 2004, 08:24 PM
:rotfl:
It would make a GREAT dwarf!

Ulesse
Aug 24, 2004, 08:25 PM
But thanks I really wanted these!

You do realise that 2/3rds of your post count is in this one thread :D
And we can never have too many midget/dwarfs. The more the merrier. Or should I say drunker. :p

7 posts in the following ? If a mod see that... :rolleyes: There is a edit function, you know.

I think he wants a custom avatar or something.

Why not try you hand at making/editing a unit from a dwarf template Ulesse? Give the creator credit for the original, maybe cut/paste a dwarf on horse, and call 'im 'short stack' :lol:

mrtn
Aug 25, 2004, 08:27 AM
I don't think the available crossbowmen fit as dwarves. They don't even have beards. :p
And as Supa said; there is an edit function.

Ulesse
Aug 25, 2004, 11:49 AM
Okay, #1. I like my picture. Klingon Pirds of Prey are sweet.Besides I also have to have a 30-day membership. I just like the smilies :lol: (actually, that was Grond. This is Grond too) #2. I would make my own units but I can't edit those pcx thingies. #3: That was a drastic change in subject. What does the edit function have to do with anything?!!! Oh wait, I get it. You want me to combine some of my posts. Okay. But can you DELETE posts? I'm sort of new here.
Happy? I used the EDIT function this time and added this line! It's all Grond's fault everything. Wait a minute I'M Grond. Oh well. I can take the blame.

The point was "don't do it again" :nono:, and it seems you got it. :) BTW, if you are two people :confused: you should each get your own acount, and not share one.

Ulesse

Well see it's a complicated thing that has to do with not being able to start two accounts with one email. I tried once and it doesn't work. And now we stopped talking about dwarves and started talking about Alternate Personalities or something. Maybe we should start a new thread...??

Mr. Do
Aug 26, 2004, 05:45 PM
Back to dwarfs then: how come no-one ever made a dwarf crossbowman unit? I would've thought that'd be among the first out of a dwarf set...

Ulesse
Aug 26, 2004, 07:43 PM
Yes! Yes! MY point Exactally! Listen to him mrtn!!!
PS As soon as I download a good .pcx editor I'll get started making some units... I should add Dwarf Crossbowman to the list.

Ulesse
Aug 27, 2004, 11:06 AM
But while we're waiting, Is someone interested in shrinking the Viking Berserk?

tjedge1
Aug 27, 2004, 11:32 AM
I could use a crossbow dwarf myself. I could also use some halfling settler/worker unit. Either seperate ones or combined I don't care.

Ulesse
Aug 27, 2004, 12:00 PM
Oh Kindred72 already made a Dwarf Worker. Look in the Fantasy section of the archive. But yeah we're still waiting for a Dwarf Settler.

mrtn
Aug 27, 2004, 02:25 PM
tjedge1 wants a halfling (aka hobbit) settler/worker. He knows about the dwarf worker already. ;)
I still have plans to shrink units to fill these positions, but units created from scratch would of course be much better. :)
And I, too, could use a dwarf crossbow.

odintheking
Aug 27, 2004, 06:43 PM
There already a dwarf crossbow. Dig around in the units section, I think aaglo made it.

I'd bet money there isn't. aaglo's made some dwarf units (gyrocopter and organ gun e g), but he's not very fond of making humanoids. If there was one available it'd be included in the WH mod. It isn't.
You may be thinking of his elven ballista, but that's neither a dwarf or a hand weapon...

Supa

After a quick search, all I could find is that embryodead planned at some point to make a Dwarf Crossbow. Perphaps you mixed with his thunderer.

Yes sorry for the thread jack. Resizing would work for me. I'm using the pcx and civlopedia at the moment anyway for a halfling settler and worker. I'll stop bothering with it since I see you say you have plans to do this already. I assume for the Lord of the Mods?

...I'll stop bothering with it since I see you say you have plans to do this already. I assume for the Lord of the Mods?Who, me? :mischief:
To put in a "Brasklapp" as we'd say in Sweden, I haven't started yet, and it may be that it'll end up looking like a pile of ... eh ... dirt.

tjedge1
Aug 29, 2004, 02:44 PM
Well in that case I'll keep bringing it up till either the Lord of the Mods is out, as I know there will be one in that mod, or someone does it. ;)

Ulesse
Sep 01, 2004, 03:14 PM
Okay if no-one minds I'm going to post so unit designers will be able to find this. This started out for a request for a dwarven spearman and settler, but more people want other dwarven units. here the units someone should build
Dwarven Settler
Dwarven Rider
Dwarven Crossbowman

(Shrunken 'dwarf' Viking Berserkir [original Firaxis version please, not AoK]?)

tjedge1
Sep 01, 2004, 05:13 PM
I could use all 3 if they were made if that encourages any designers out there.

Ulesse
Sep 02, 2004, 03:40 PM
It might but this thing keeps getting moved back!!!

Chill man, people look at the second page of C&C, if someone's gonna make em they will do so, no matter if this thread is pushed back
