Conquistador Pack

Deliverator · May 03, 2009, 06:37 AM

A pack of Conquistador units - Swordsman, Musketman and Mounted Conquistadors - in two different flavours grey metal armour and black/gold armour.

Obviously, these shots are from the Civ4Col graphics engine, but just to prove that they work in Civ4:

Download Here

Polycounts are:
Swordsman - 1025
Musketman - 1027
Mounted - 1439

The armour textures were sourced from M2TW as shown in this post.

All animation files included.

Also, I've included 512x512 version of the texture (DDS) files. I find that when doing reskins you get a better result working at 512x512 and then resizing down to 256x256.

Let me know if you have any problems.

Nice pack. Personally, I like the first texture most.

phungus420 · May 03, 2009, 07:05 AM

Very nice! Definatly want to use these as ethnic variants for spain. Thanks for including the decent sized textures, what's the polycount though? I need to know before I add any unit to Legends.

Musketman - 1027
Mounted - 1439

phungus420 · May 03, 2009, 07:19 AM

Cool then they pass my arbitrary 2000 poly cutoff

Will use these for ethnic unit art in Legends of Revolution. The mounted conquistador looks particularly good btw.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Somehow the black/gold thing doesn't look quite as good as I'd hoped. I may try and tweak the texture/gloss a bit to improve that.

Ajidica · May 03, 2009, 09:20 AM

Very nice. I agree, the silver one looks best, although I feel that is becasue on the black one, the gold down the middle 'bends' in fortify, loosing some of the breastplate effect.

ZachScape · May 03, 2009, 01:22 PM

I love these! Maybe they could be implemented into the conqueror's event in RFC. I'll see.
EDIT: BTW, I think the silver Conquistador should have a white/brown/gray/tan horse. Anything but black.

troytheface · May 03, 2009, 04:08 PM

good idea and good looking units

The Capo · May 03, 2009, 10:20 PM

Great looking units, they'll find a spot in my mod for sure. Good work.

M2TW textures turn up trumps again. Which do you prefer? (I know they don't have saddles and manes yet...)

Ajidica · May 05, 2009, 03:30 PM

Any of the horses look nice. Its odd, they look alot like the MTW2 horse textures.

Deliverator · May 05, 2009, 03:54 PM

That's because they are. Civ4 horse units UV mapped onto M2TW horse textures using Blender like so:

Ajidica · May 05, 2009, 03:56 PM

Ah, nice to know if I ever feel the urge to start making a medieval mod again. Unfortunalty, most likely the models and animations can't be ported.

Deliverator · May 05, 2009, 04:13 PM

Correct, plus it requires a fair bit of work just to make use of the textures to be honest. For example I had to model the conquistador's armour skirt from scratch before I could map the texture onto it. Still it's a decent source of texturing material. The variety of faces is handy to have - units from every era need a face!

The one on the right looks the best IMO, and they all look great.
I put out a request on Rhye's for these units to take the place of the pikemen/knights in the conquerer's event. It seems like it was made for it (don't tell me otherwise)

Ajidica · May 06, 2009, 04:51 PM

Does Dale know of these for his Colonization mod? Regardless, someone needs to make a MTW2 mod for civ. Unfortunatly I am already working on something.

ZachScape · May 06, 2009, 06:11 PM

I don't think I have heard of that mod, but sounds interesting. Can you post a link.
(Unless it's for the official Civ IV: Colonization Game. I know of DCM though.)
