Unit: Camel Chariot

Straczynski · Jan 6, 2004

Call the children! It's the...
:egypt:

Camel Chariot! :egypt:

Preview animations here.

So this is my first unit. Just a copy-and-pasting of Chimtot's Riderless Camel on Vanilla's Chariot. The zip includes Units32 and Pedia icons, run, default and attack animations and the chariot's sounds (couldn't do the .../... thingy).

Also, this is not a complete version, as some stuff is missing... On a next version, I'll tie up the camel to the chariot with a second rope, and make the Victory and Death anims.

Anyway, it's all playable. Download it here.

Def'netly going into my game!

Keep up the great work Straczynsky!!

Supa · Jan 6, 2004

Good, good. I've got a place for it in my mod

I'll looking forward the complete version.

Gogf · Jan 6, 2004

Yay, you finished! I like it, but I can't wait until the death... maybe using the camels kneel?

Straczynski · Jan 6, 2004

Yes, that's exactly how I'm doing. But I'm not sure It'll look good... Maybe I'll make the camel running away from the scene as the chariot breaks apart.

Historically inaccurate, but who gives a :cooool:

?

It's actually what I need for my mod, so thanks very much!! :goodjob:

tjedge1 · Jan 7, 2004

Cool idea. How long till it's finished?

SuperBeaverInc. · Jan 7, 2004

That looks funny :goodjob:

Straczynski · Jan 7, 2004

Tjedge1 => Not sure. I have University tests in ten days and I must study for them... So maybe it'll be finished by the last week of this month.

And thanks you all for the support!

hetairoi22 · Jan 7, 2004

Good luck with the tests! Lookin' forward to the last week of this month, though

I like it, but out of curiousity, can a camel even be used to pull a chariot?

Straczynski · Jan 7, 2004

Hm... They're space camels.

Well, if they can have a rider on their back, I don't see why they can't pull a light wheeled vehicle...

Gogf · Jan 7, 2004

Probably not. Camels are very stubbern animals (I think), and they probably wouldn't be willing to be attached to, and pull (ie hard work) something, but it's a good unit, and a good idea.

ShiroKobbure · Jan 14, 2004

i dont think camels can pull anything ^ ^;;
but I still think its a cool looking unit
good job ^ o ^

Straczynski · Jan 14, 2004

As I've already said, this one can pull stuff because he's a space camel.

ArbitraryGuy · Jan 14, 2004

Nice unit... I like the dude's spear.

jzsf · Mar 14, 2004

Look like a Llama Chariot

Straczynski · Aug 3, 2004

Final word: Yes, they can.

And there was an Egyptian Camel Chariot miniature for sale on E-Bay, as can be confirmed by this Google cached page.

And, much to my surprise, Google's first result on "camel chariot" is this page.

So, a camel can be used to pull things. It doesn't even need to be a space camel.

Supa · Aug 5, 2004

So Straczynski, you've completed it ?

Straczynski · Aug 12, 2004

Nah, but I just had to post these pics.

It's on my not-so-long to-do list, though.
