A Truelly Unique Request- Mycenaean (Greek) Chariot

[Xen]

well, I think this unit would be pretty cool, what with the ancient mods coming up and what not, a good lill unit with some very unique feature that could be associeated with it.

besides, this is the kind of stuff they had in the Trojan War

a cool looking unit, more the suitabkle to be used by several ancient societies, including the-

Minoans
Mycenaeans
Trojans
Itallics

but enoughg talk- here are some pictures

 

[Amenhotep7]

I fully support this unit Xen! Too bad we probably can't use it in the Peloponnesian War Scenario.

 

[Gogf]

I also support this unit! I'm suprised nobody has posted it a while ago.

 

[Xen]

its units like this, that, if they had been made by Firaxis, could have REALLY made conquests like the "mesopotamia" one so much more realistic, and better

 

[LBPB]

I of course support it too

I'm waiting for this for so long now...

 

[Xen]

Indeed- with the Amazon units fresh out, I think it would be neat if there were some heroic age Greek units out and about

 

[Gogf]

There is a Poseidon unit, check the library.

 

[Xen]

Posiedon? what? how dose he connect with heroic age greek soldires?

 

[Gogf]

It doesn't really, but you could have a Gods civ, and that would be a really expensive unit. Just trying to tell you about an obscure ancient Greek unit that is not listed in the index at the begining of the thread. I can't find it now, so if you do, please post it here.

 

[Xen]

personally, I feel the idea rather offensive that a god could be killed in the game (I am a classical polytheist religious wise), I also remeber the unit now, and if you look at the thread, you'll my objections to it..

besides, the whole "God civ" thing has been done in AOM, I would prefer to give somthing more firm, and historical in a scenario...

 

[Gogf]

Right, no matter how high the stats, Poseidon could still be killed. Forgot... You could use the Gods as impassable landmark terrain.

I was hoping they had made an early Sumerian Chariot as well (looks similar to this, pulled by 4 donkeys, and had 4 wheels).

I hope this unit gets made, though (can't have too many chariots )

 

[Xen]

chariots are really one of the units with the most possiblities for uniquesness just look at all the variations in the old world of them...

 

[Amenhotep7]

Xen- I must ask:
If you had to choose between the two pics you posted of the Mycenean chariot, which one? I'm considering making this my first unit project.

Note: Considering is not the same thing as will. I'm very nervous to take on a unit project.

P.S. If you asked me, I'd pick the second one.

 

[Xen]

I like the second one as well, but preferabley, he would have a spear it just makews more sense for a charioteer to have a spear (and is more realistic besides)

 

[Xen]

thuogh..ther are a few mor pics I put on the site...

 

[Amenhotep7]

More pics? Where?

 

[Xen]

never mind, posting them would be kind of redundent

 

[Louis XXIV]

Bump

I would actually prefer the Etruscan chariot I put up one time to the mycenaean chariot to be hoinest- both could fulfuil both roles, but I htink the Etruscan charito looks cooler
