New unit: Medieval Mortar!

aaglo · Mar 30, 2004

The precessor (?) of the medieval bombard - a bit heavier and clumsier mortar. Any similarities with previous units seen before here are completely accidental :mischief:

The files for mortar

Animations:

Civilopedia with a twist (meaning 'transparency')

Love It

But where to put it in the techs? hmmmm

The Last Conformist · Mar 30, 2004

I guess it ought to come with Gunpowder.

But statwise, Trebuchets and Cannon are already very close (6.1.1 vs 8.1.1), so I don't think it makes much sense to add this to the Epic game.

Good for mods and scens, tho. And beautiful unit as we've come to expect from aaglo. :goodjob:

Great job.

I don't mind the similarities between the two units - it gives them continuity.

Ukas · Mar 30, 2004

Already finished? This is so great!

About the mortar: I think this design was the actual first siege cannon.

Wot? You haven't modded yours? Fits into mine perfectly. First gun, range two but not that effective, Field cannon will be more effective but w only 1 range.

ancient:
ballista - catapult - fire catapult - trebuchet
medieval:
mortar & field cannon (fc bit later) -heavy cannon & horse arty -
industrial:
howitzer & artillery - towed arty - Self-Propelled Arty - Heavy Gun & railroad gun - rocket launcher - heavy spa
modern:
-AMV SPA(amphibious) & radar arty - misl launcer - modern rocket launcher

And if anyone has ideas...

isnt that one of the French Cannons used in the American Revolution?

Gogf · Mar 30, 2004

Very, very gppd/

Great! Just what was needed for the medieval period. Cool, Appropriate Units and Smooth Upgrades :goodjob:

tjedge1 · Mar 31, 2004

That was fast aaglo! Thanks it looks really cool. :cooool:

Mr. Do · Mar 31, 2004

Looks good, but why does the person operating it look like an elf?

aaglo · Mar 31, 2004

it's just your imagination

Kinboat · Mar 31, 2004

Both these units are great Aaglo... I just love these Elven artillery units

Ozymandias · Mar 31, 2004

Looks great as usual -- and, finally, something worthy of the final siege of Constantinople!

Best,

Oz

I like how the mortor explodes, falls apart, and throws the guy backwards! One little thing though.... the guy looks just a bit too stiff as he bounces on the ground.

aaglo · Mar 31, 2004

But... people become stiff, when they die...

nah, he's just wearing a studded leather armor, which is four sizes too small for him (and thus making him stiff like he'd swallowed a spear

)

Vuldacon · Apr 1, 2004

I Like the fact that he becomes rather stiff as he Bounces during the Death Animation...I think it animates a Startled Affect and the Rigidity that would take place if a Mortar like that Blew Up right in front of the person pushing it. I mean, who would be relaxed if this happened? :lol:

Love these Bombard Units aaglo...Great to use in the Game.

Arne · Apr 1, 2004

Good unit again, aaglo! And very usefull.

Aluminium · Apr 1, 2004

I like they all :jump: !!

Figaro · Apr 8, 2004

I use this thing as an upgrade for the Catapult (which lasts way too long anyway) at Gunpowder, requring Saltpeter and with a slightly higher bombard than Catapults. Musketmen come in in a different tech., Musket, which comes afterwards. This is more accurate, because it was a while after the discovery/invention of gunpowder that Muskets started being used, and that cannons etc. were used way beforehand. In normal Civ3, the Catapult can still be built when there are Musketmen everywhere.

Goldflash · Apr 8, 2004

You obviously don't have Conquests yet, do you? Sid and his guys added the Trebuchet as an upgrade for the Catapult at Engineering.
