New unit: Tomb Swarm (Jan 19th, 2005)

aaglo · Jan 19, 2005

Roll the bones!
This is a stealthy unit from the Warhammer fantasy. Swarms of dead corpses arise from the very soil of the ancient battles. It can use the paradrop-ability to emerge from the ground

Here are the files:
Tomb Swarm

Attached are previews (animation sequence: Drop, Default, Fidget, Run, Fortify, Attack, Victory and Death).

And darn, I think I can't spell :lol:

- fixed ini-file is attached (actually, the drop-flc is named wrong, but it works this way too)

Neato! Really neat!

That's one freaky unit! It kind of reminds me of the graveyard scene from "Army of Darkness" Where all the skeletal hands pop up out of the ground and start grabbing Ash....

This is the coolest one yet! :wow:

Did you help invent pov-ray?

You must know it inside and out to come up with something as awesome as this.

Orthanc · Jan 19, 2005

Again!?

Nice job aaglo, with peices from this you could probably throw together more of a swarm, with say about twenty skeleton hands popping out of the ground everywhere.

Just a thought, but you're busy enough by the looks of it, so many units! So many choices!

I love the animation. I'm dying to see it used in game.

Great work aaglo.

I don't know if aaglo helped with the making of pov-ray but I think they should advertise their product with his units.They are so cool

Aye...I been thinking that could be a scenario...We have all the undead and middle ages units...I think something to even work as the car...All we need is Ash.

Excellent unit, aaglo. I can't wait until ED adds all these units into the Warhammer mod. I'm definately starting my next game as Khemri.

Bungus · Jan 19, 2005

Another stupendously successful, though utterly misguided, attempt at unit making, aalgo.

@bombshoe: Army of darkness is one of those things that would translate well into a civ 3 mod... just a hunch.
@Gomer: That sig, is that a quote? or did you make it up? its funny...

Bunny rabbits! Kill, kill, kill!

joeskip · Jan 19, 2005

tjedge1 · Jan 19, 2005

Man that's creepy. That is too cool aaglo.

Takeno · Jan 19, 2005

Whooa!

That's cool!

Kinboat · Jan 19, 2005

Awesome... Simply awesome.

Well, since Civ Army was nice enough to give me that double-shotgun prop he used for the African militia guy, I was thinking about doing Ash eventually... Of course, I'd have to find the proper sounds... Victory: "You see this?! This is my BOOMstick!!" Fidget: "You're shoelaces are untied" :lol:

This is so cool. Excellent anims and the crawling movement looks good, would've been sillier if it had burrowed itself when moving.

MoM's death mages are getting a serious graphics update for the next patch. I'm counting five new graphics for old units at the moment. Could be even more depending on your next moves with the skeletons.
