Unit Request Thread 3

like 0.5 pixels wider? I think the only visible effect would be smaller global height, and wider shoulders. May be a beard. Wait... those are dwarves from the warhammer mod!
Nah, dwarves wouldn't use flint axes and sharp-tipped poles as main weapons.
 
Alright, for my mod I'm featuring a Neanderthal Civilization. But there aren't any really Neanderthal feeling units outside the earliest parts of the Ancient Age.

Basically what I'm requesting is that Fur and Hide Armor (shown in the upper two pictures below) to be slapped onto infantry (eg: spearman, swordsman, javlinmen, longbowman, medieval infantry, pikeman, crossbowman, musketman, rifleman, guerrilla, infantry), settler, worker, knight, and cavalry. Physically the units would have Neanderthal-esq physical traits (lower sloped cranium, a slight hunch, broad build, hairy, ect). That's what I had in mind.
[/SPOILER]
At Civ scale size wont matter.
Also, since Homo Sapiens also went through the stone age and why wouldn't Neanderthal also switch to metal armor if they still lived in Europe and were in contact with Homo Sapiens? Wasn't all that fur because they didn't have access to other materials and because it was the Ice Age?

I doubt you'll find a creator willing to take his time for such niche units, but maybe its a chance for you to learn how to make your own graphics.

Here are some units that might fit some of your needs:

In an image editor like Photoshop, you could shrink those units, and change the color of their hair from blonde to brown (I don't know if Neanderthal had blonde hair or not)

Also maybe look through the fantasy section. Aaglo's dwarfs and hobbits might work, they are stocky.
 
Meh, I'll give unit editing a shot after I've finished coding everything I already have. But thanks for the suggestions. I'll look at the links you've posted.
 
I'd like to request a simple Canoe. We do have an old c&p unit of a worker rowing a canoe, but it's very basic and outdated by modern standards. If somebody could do a fresh and modern version of that boat, including ethnically diverse rowers (an african, asian, american, middle eastern and european version would be excellent), that would fill a gap for the early stages of many epic games.

 
Thanks! I'm aware of those units and they are perfectly fine, just not what I'm looking for. :)
 
I'd like to request a medieval ship unit. The Knarr.

If we have a unit similar already, maybe someone can point me to it.

Here it is:

 
In consideration of Ares' recent interest in navigable rivers, and my own need for Mississippi rivercraft in my Old West scenario WIP, I second Ares' request for a more sophisticated Canoe, and would like to expand on the concept by also requesting some common 19th century river craft:

Keelboat



Styles of keelboats varied from Lewis & Clark's expeditionary boat to barge-sized pole boats.

and Flatboat



There were several varieties of flatboat on the Mississippi, ranging from Huck Finn style flatboats to huge barges for hauling bulk goods.

I need these as precursors to Mississippi Queen style Riverboats.
 
For the unit makers. I am looking for the following;

1920 European civilian - With a default, run and death animation.
The attack animation could be a situation that the civilian will put his hands up.
1920 Azian civilian - With a default, run and death animation.
The attack animation could be a situation that the civilian will put his hands up.
1920 Mid. East civilian - With a default, run and death animation.
The attack animation could be a situation that the civilian will put his hands up.

1940 European civilian - With a default, run and death animation.
The attack animation could be a situation that the civilian will put his hands up.
1940 Azian civilian - With a default, run and death animation.
The attack animation could be a situation that the civilian will put his hands up.
1940 Mid. East civilian - With a default, run and death animation.
The attack animation could be a situation that the civilian will put his hands up.
 
I'd like to request an Ork/Orc army, just like a traditional army but with an Orc/Ork standing and holding the banner, please.
 
I'm hoping there is someone kind enough to make me a Magician unit that looks similar to the Magician in the Tarot card deck:

.

And if he could have spells sort of like Grandraem's Wizard-King that w/b great.

See I love the Wizard-King but he looks too old to use as my Magician and I can't seem to find anything that I like in the database. I'll keep perusing it though...

Anyway, I would be using him in my Tarot mod and definitely give you much thanks and full credit. :)

Thanks...
 
What about:

Archmage or Mage.

Thanks. Yea, I've seen those and I'll be using them. But they sort of look like old men, especially when they walk, so I want my Magician to look younger...

I searched the database pretty hard and couldn't find any unit that I liked for my Magician. I'll search again when I get some time. Maybe there's something I overlooked. But I'm pretty busy making my map now though.
 
Gray Wolf, how about using King Greek or King Roman from PTW? They're not wearing a cloak so much as a toga, but perhaps it'll work. Spell effects can be cut-and-pasted in, such as the spell animations from WH2 or Mystara or Tides of Crimson (?).

Hey Erebras. I couldn't find those units but I wouldn't want them if they are wearing togas. But I may try to cut and paste some spell effects into some other units I've found...
 
is one the brave unit creators going to do the other non-combatant units too? i mean scouts, explorers, maybe kings...but i heard for some reason kings or statesmen are not really that wanted...i just want some very general units - high command...if someone says yes (with time - there is no hurry) - i could gather some images for a vague outline of the ideas...
 
is the Master of Orion now abandonware or whatever the term is ? Would it be okey for me to upload some ship images out of it and ask for units ? Nothing fancy , just top views converted to flics .
