*Update! New Pedia Icons: New Pedia Icons

and units_32 by Kal-El


Here are the units I've been working on for DyP:

First up...

Camel Rider


http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads5/Camel_Rider.zip


This is the Camel Rider... meant to be an early camelry. Based on a picture of a Moorish camel rider.


Second:

War Camel


http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads5/War_Camel.zip

This is a Saracen War Camel for the Middle Ages. Great for Crusade-era mods and scenarios.


Third:

Mamluk (Mameluke)


http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads5/Mamluk.zip

The always famous mamluk, mameluke, mameluk, however you choose to spell it...

They were slave soldiers in Egypt who eventually came to be the rulers. For some reason, in Arab cultures, giving slaves weaponry was not contradictory to common sense, and it worked pretty well too. This Mamluk features a Bow and Sword animation because they were trained in both. They would later use gunpowder weapons, but there's no animation for that :). But I may make one in the future.


Fourth:

Bedouin Raider


http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads5/Bedouin_Raider.zip

This is the Bedouin Raider. The Bedouins have been around since far back into antiquity, and they have harassed many of the great Middle Eastern empires. This unit is based on a photo provided by Kal-El in his request for the Bedouin Raider. It fights dismounted and fires a mid-19th century rifle, but it could also be used for earlier times since the rifle doesn't have a great deal of detail at Civ-scale. Nonetheless, I think I may do one with a carbine, and possibly have it be mounted.


Fifth:

Elephant Rider


http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads5/Elephant_Rider.zip

This is the Elephant Rider... it's not particularly faithful to any one ethnicity. I borrowed a bit from a number of elephant-using cultures, but its mostly meant for the Indians. The elephant itself was based off an African Elephant model, but I've made it slightly more generic by altering some of the features.


Sixth:

Elephant Archer


http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads5/Elephant_Archer_(Fixed).zip

* Fixed a palette issue that was causing civ-specific colors to appear in the armor. If you already downloaded this unit, you may want to do so again.

For those of your who tuned into my preview thread some time ago, this unit is no surprise to you... It probably would've been done much much sooner if I hadn't started working on the other five units here :).

This is an elephant archer. Most of the time, archers were used on top of elephants because its a lot easier than giving them a lance and telling them to use it effectively from that height. The riders are based on Indian military uniforms of the age, but the armor is something more typical to what the Greeks or Carthaginians might have used. This way it can be used for almost anybody, though its really meant for the Indians.

P.S. I'm going to make an Indian foot archer based on the archer here, but the tunic will be civ-specific, not white.


Well, that's it folks! Enjoy...

Note: There will be more. I'm making another nine camel/elephant variants as fillers between the Horseman/Knight/Cavalry slots for DyP. There's also a tenth unit I'm working on... very specific, but very cool. I'm not going to ruin the surprise though.
 
first of all, great units!!!
second: the previews just show red x's and the bedouin raider is only shown half,

Ok, I've PMed Thunderfall about the upload problem...

In the meantime, I'm uploading the units to the Flavor Units Discussion Group. Follow the link in my sig if you want to download them from there... you don't need to sign up to download from the Files section.

it seems you can't dl from that discussion group without signing in, i get an error 403
 
I'm sorry.... unfortunately, for whatever reason, I can allow people to look at the files but not download them... makes no sense to me.

Anyway, hopefully the problem here will be corrected soon and then you won't even have to bother with the discussion group.

Until then, does anybody have webspace where these files can be uploaded to??

EDIT: And I'm definitely not the only one with uploading problems... so hopefully it'll be fixed soon.
 
These all look great !!!!!!! :eek: :goodjob:

Pedia icon for the war camel is a bit weird though (the white of the trousers and the face).

GREAT JOB !!!!

That is a pack
