New Unit: Ancient Egyptian Musketman(1/14/06)

This fills in the ranks of Pharoah's army....standing alongside Kinboat's veterans. I hope everyone enjoys using this guy as much as I did making him...

My buddy Vuldacon was kind enough to make a few adjustments to the attack, and a few improvements to the civilipedia icons as well. Get the new files and see the new preview below!

Nice. Your animations are getting more fluid and naturalistic.

Aion · Jan 14, 2006

Excellent

You're getting better and better. I like the model, and judging from the preview the animation looks realistic.

Steph · Jan 14, 2006

Attack is quite good (I would just make the run raise a little less, and perhaps add some smoke)
The fortify is a bit strange.

Stormrage · Jan 14, 2006

My suggestion is to try and make him run holding the gun with both hands. And fortify is really strange, so is the default. But the attack is your best animation ever, I think, and I really, really like it!

Some smoke would be nice tho, but not really neccesary.

You are getting better and better! :goodjob:

Orthanc · Jan 14, 2006

I agree, fortify's a little odd, but if you have issues adding smoke to the attack, at least the attack sound is quite good. The run would look better maybe with the gun held in both hands, but it's still quite good right now.

This is really cool! I've been wanting something like this, to go along with DPII's Legionari Fulimata,

Sword_Of_Geddon · Jan 14, 2006

I'm glad everyone likes it.

ShiroKobbure · Jan 14, 2006

wow!!!!
this is your best unit!!! very very nice
death is soso, and fortify is odd, but attack is great, and the clothing fits perfect.

Sword_Of_Geddon · Jan 15, 2006

Thanks Shiro...glad I could reach your high standard my friend.

Mithadan · Jan 17, 2006

Huh, cool concept! Never would have thought to do that myself. I think I'll use it. I h'aint got much for my Egypt civ in the 17th century or thereabouts. This would be fun. Thanks for the unit!

Sword_Of_Geddon · Jan 18, 2006

This guys more a Renaissse era Musketman like the standard Civ3 one. I may do a 18th/first few decades of the 19th century one to fill the Grenadier slot as well(A unit that comes between Riflemen and Musketman).

Vuldacon · Jan 20, 2006

Sword...This unit is much better.

Recommendations:
Default Flc - Slow to 170 so movement is less.
Run Flc - try 56 speed to help remove the floating "slow motion" effect and always check each frame to make sure all are at Floor level.
Fortify Flc _ Remake this Flc so it starts with the Default and ends with either the 1st frame of the Attack or at least a frame that would come just before the 1st frame of the Attack so it makes a correct transition.
Death Flc - Eliminate the Backward slide of the Egyptian as he falls and keep the Rifle and the Egyptian from going beneath the Floor Level.
Attack Flc - Much better but would still like to see the Recoil move a little less upward. You can use fewer frames for the Recoil so it takes place more rapidly. Use a Flash and or Smoke with the Rifle firing in the Attack.

Keep up the Good work :goodjob:

...here are two Civ Specific units_32 files. One is made from your units_32 and one from your Default Flc so there is a choice if you want either of them:

I find the title of this unit a bit contradictory... Ancient Egyptian Musketman. You know, they were not that advanced

Sword_Of_Geddon · Jan 20, 2006

Aaglo you old dog...

Egyptians maybe would have become this advanced if they were more isolated like china perhaps..

Traianus · Jan 20, 2006

Cool units, Sword! You've come so far in such a short time. It's only two or three months ago you got poser!?!?

Sword_Of_Geddon · Jan 25, 2006

I've had it since August actually, so thats six months...thanks for the compliment though

Zion_Withrow · Jan 25, 2006

THis unit is just what I needed, thanks

Gojira54 · Jan 28, 2006

Going in X Mod, thank you!!

Sword_Of_Geddon · Jan 28, 2006

No problem.
