Assassins

A plea

Please, please, please can someone produce better artwork for the assassin. I know the tight leather clad feminine figure is nice eye candy, but she looks a bit out of place now.

Chuggi made some cool ethnically diverse spies that could easily double as assassins. I couldn't find a specific link to all of them, but they're around.

 

[The Capo]

Wow, sorry, I just realized this was for FFH. I guess those units would look really out of place.

A bunch of civs already have some nice assassin artwork. Theres a list of importance when it comes to unit artwork, I dont know where to find it, though. But im sure they'll get to the rest of the assassins eventually.

I think it's basically a given in all fantasy games that all female characters be portrayed as kinky sex symbols to arose the interest of the typical gamer (young, virgin teenage male). It's really stupid, but I've learned to just accept it instead of complain.

But remember, the current model is just being borrowed from Civ vanilla

Yeah, cry to firaxis, not the community.

If someone can direct me to an "idiots guide" to getting models into the game, I'll try to make some kinky sex symbols for the more mature gamer (aging, zavvi 30-something male).

Can you model a rich old woman with a bad cough?

 

[BeefontheBone]

Some sort of cat lady, perhaps? *drools*

On the topic of assassins, there's definitely too many of 'em about methinks.

before people start flaming about complaints, they might do better to read the first two words.

This thread is the perfect spot for me to say: Wtb new War Charriot model, seriously this isn't Egypt. Also WTH is up with Arquebrusiers, seriously they are SOOOOOO out of place, please instead of spending time on making civ unique graphics for units, fix the world units that look like they belong in another game.

Thanks.

Agreed, I've changed the defaukt assassin to the Hippus one, which looks much better and works ok as a cross-civ-model. Changing it is very easy, if no one more competent in modding can write a short guide I can do one myself when i get home from school.

Unfortunately, the war chariots are very low on the list of units to get new graphics (since they are late game units.) The reason they haven't been changed yet is because they eventually will have civ specific graphics. But if you want better art for them now, just do what loffenx did, replace the normal wc unit with the Hippus one.

The Arquebrusiers look great for the Lanun.

Go to

Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Fall from Heaven 2 034\Assets\XML\Art

or your equivalent, open CIV4ArtDefines_Unit.xml

replace the text under

<UnitArtInfo>
<Type>ART_DEF_UNIT_ASSASSIN</Type>

but above </UnitArtInfo>

with thhe text inbetween thoose two markers for the units which graphics you want to copy, for example between

<UnitArtInfo>
<Type>ART_DEF_UNIT_ASSASSIN_HIPPUS</Type>

and its </UnitArtInfo>

She always looked out of place.
