Slavic Slinger

[Walter Hawkwood]

Basically this is a reskin of peltast included in Warlords. This unit represents light skirmishers of early slavic peoples (V-XII centuries AD).

I don't recall what the vanilla unit looks like, but I like the reskin.

Original unit is used in "Alexander the Great". Thanks!

 

[Head Serf]

Thank you, it looks great! When I get around to adding in second UUs for the European Middle Ages Mod, this is going to be my first choice for the Slavs.

Very nice.. so was the Peltast unit in the Alexander scenario a slinger then??

Well, yes. The model is the same, so he was a slinger. Still, his pelte is right, at least. I might actually try to correct this and give him javelins one day, but it worked good for me, as a slinger is somewhat more characteristic of slavs than a javelinner.

Oh, that's exactly the one I needed! Great job!

Good work

If you're going to reskin it, just take peltast from Warlords . This is a reskin itself. Still, you're welcome.

OK. I am not playing warlords. I doesn´t know I think: Warlords are better mod only... My mod is big too

Could someone share the warlords button with me?

This would be a nice meso american flavor unit if u just took the helmet off and darkened his skin

I agree. In the request thread I requested a reskin of the peltast for a South American unit, an Incan Fire Slinger. You can attach fire to projectiles, apparently, so it would work nicely, and hopefully look pretty cool. Wouldn't necessarily have to remove the helmet.

This reskin is really good though, for other purposes.

 

[blunt3d]

yeh i was thinking you could maybe add feathers to the helmet or just make it a darker color

Great primitive unit, but I can't seem to see the rocks flying. Do I need to tweak something in the XML for the range attack?

Don't really know much about XML, I had rocks when I tested it (you can see it in the screenshots). Guess you really need to specify that it's a ranged attacker.
