new unit: Bicycle Soldier (aug 27, 2009)

ruby_sauce · Aug 26, 2009

unit is game tested

previews:

better speeds ingame, obviously:
(run - default - fortify - attack (x2) - victory - fortify - attack - death)

a soldier on a bicycle, perhaps as an upgrade of horse mounted units. I just made it because I remembered an image of dutch solders on bikes from the 2nd ww from my history book, from like 5 years ago.

sounds included.

I know the bike doesn't look very good, but I tried the best I could, as I am not good at making models...

oh well, ENJOY!

Actually, I think the bike is fine. I mean, I knew what is was right away... Great unit, I really want to fit it into a mod somewhere!

Thank you Ruby!

This looks really good. You've animated it well. Watch out Singapore!

I'd like to see a version of this with a 19th century character on the bike. A policeman, perhaps? A gentleman with a straw hat?

Ruby you come up with the most interesting new units great job!

Hiya- nice work and an interesting unit. The bike is quite fine, actualy. What I am a bit at odds with is the weapon and the way it is attached. IMO, it best be attached on the soldier's back..

Could go into EFZI I'd say. It could also go into a World War II scenario, as I know for a fact that the Germans had bicycle units.

I also agree with Winter, the bike is for transportation. When in combat the soldier ditches the bike and fights as infantry.

...cool unit anyway

and quite an astonishment for all of us

Where do you find such crazy ideas?

Big Rob · Aug 27, 2009

In Vietnam, the Communist forces used civilians to transport supplies on bicycles. I wonder if anyone has designed a unit like that, and how could that type of "civilian"/worker unit assist in the military aspect of the game.
