All animations for the unit are complete. What still needs to be done are the following things:
- copy&paste all frames (some are already finished)
- pedia images
- pedia description
- unit stats
- sounds(!)

The first two things I will do myself, with the rest I could use some help from you.

Civilopedia Description:
Would anyone like to do the civilopedia description?
Here are the Unit´s most important attributes:
- heavy body armor
- big gun (fast firing, can penetrate light armor)
- very well trained
- all kinds of gadgets (thermo goggles etc.)
- ability to strike almost everywhere

Unit Stats:
My Suggestion would be an attack value of 18, 22 for defense and 2 movement points. It would come available with Intergrated Defense (or Smart Weapons) and would require Aluminum and Rubber to build. Also, he would have the paradrop and amphibious ability.
What are your suggestions?

Sounds:
Senoj agreed to take care of the sounds, but if you have some sounds floating around which you think would fit the unit well, I would like to hear them.


By the way, which victory animation do you like more, one or two?
(I don´t want to copy&paste both)
 
Yes, very impressive except for the 1st victory. I really don't mean to be nit-picky, but who salutes with their left hand? When I went to Field Training in Lackland AFB I saw a moron salute a captain with his left hand and the captain spend a good 20 minutes chewing him out, throwing stuff around, breaking things and covering the guy with slobber.
 
Amazing, I have to "take off my helmet" to salute your unbelievable work!!!! :eek: :goodjob:
You have great talent in foot unit animation ;)
I believe your the best in the forum along with Kryten. :D
JUST PERFETTO!!!!!!!!!!! PERFECT!!! PEREFECKT ...
 
Wyrmshadow,

Actually thats why he did victory 2. The left hand issue was pointed out in the other preview thread. :)

I vote for Victory 2 as well.
 
I'm going to work on these sounds tonight as my software is fixed, it just needs a few creases ironed out OK? Do you want sounds for each or just specific ones?
 
Excellent work! *ahem* I know where your talents could be of use. *ahem* see me signature *ahem* :D
 
Certainly the best infantry type unit I've seen here so far... only your own Modern Infantry unit can rival it.

Thanks for sharing your talents in graphics with the rest of us :goodjob: Hope you haven't burned out yet!

And I guess victory II is the best, most accurate etc.

Looking forward to playing with this unit, I've been holding back from starting a new game since I wanted to add this one first :)
 
Thank you all!
It took some time to put this unit together. I tried to improve my work over the modern infantry and it shows in some cases. The model itself is done with much more care and the animations also improved a bit.
"All my spirit has gone into this unit, now I feel very empty" ;)

Ok, you said it, I will only include the second victory animation.
(thank you Kal-el for pointing this out first!?!)

Take your time Senoj, you don´t need to hurry (sorry if it sounded like that).

Any more suggestions for the unit stats (for normal civ3)?
 
I . . am . . just . . flabbergasted! :eek: Asolutely phenomenal. There needs to be a :jawdrop: smiley because this unit certainly deserves it. Great work! I look forward to seeing more. :)
 
Balou, thanks for another great infantry unit. This is one I've been eagerly awaiting. :)

Personally I think the second victory animation looks more accurate, but why not include them both and let people decide which one they want to use?

Great job!
