New Unit: Shadow Warrior

[Eclipse]

Basically, this unit has the transparency of any shadow. Kind of a cool effect. Zip includes Civilopedia PCXs, Units_32 icon, INI, and FLCs. Don't forget to create the necessary entries in the appropriate txt files...

Enjoy!

If you'd prefer the a Shadow Warrior that doesn't cast a shadow download the one a few replies down the page.

Nice work! Actually its kinda funny that a shadow warrior still cast shadow on the floor.

But its definitely a great piece of animation!

 

[Eclipse]

Good point! Here's the same unit but hacked the shadow off. Actually, it took me much less time to make it without the shadow than with!

That is one hell of a cool effect, now I know how I can make "invisible" units.

What do I do after I download the file? Do I have to create a new folder in the Civ3Edit thingy or what?

Yes, kind of...

You have to create a new unit within Civ3Edit matching the folder name that you unzipped the file into. Should be Shadow Warrior if I remember correctly. You also need to add an entry in the Civilopedia.txt file and PediaIcons.txt files for the new unit. There is a thread that better explains this process here...

Well, it would be hard to hit, so a high defensive rating is a must. But, if it gets hit it should take more damage than a normal unit IMO. So, high defense + HP penalty. Instead of just a regular attack, consider giving it bombard with a range of one. I believe it would still have to get an attack of 1 if you want it to have any HP though. In addition perhaps it should be an invisible unit?
