DPII's Unit Previews

[Goldflash]

People don't understand the difference between a Multi-figured unit anmd a unit with multiple Figures, Kinboats Golden Horde is a good example of a unit with multiple figures.

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Yeah, it's really not a M-unit but a multi-figure unit... and I have already made several from some of my cavalry units to the Pioneer...

 

[Rhye]

I've been planning to redo my first eight units (the three elephants, and four camels, and the Jomon Warrior) for quite some time because first of all, the palettes are terrible, and second of all, the camera angle is wrong on all of them.

Then I'm waiting anxiously

 

[Risbinroch]

I would love to see an african settler with both a man and a woman, would be more distinctive. I don't have a problem with multi-figured units, allthough IMO it shouldent be used to much. But the Golden Horde is a good example of a good multi-unit and another is the "celtic" swordman and this little boy that carries his sword, forgot the unit's name.

 

[Dom Pedro II]

The Galloglass.

 

[Risbinroch]

Yeah Thats right! And I am a big fan of your units, too bad that there ain't no viking units on your to-do list though... But lots of units I'm looking forward to.

 

[Ozymandias]

Just curious -- what Viking units would you recommend be added?

-Oz

I'd recommend a simple, well-done hersir who swings his axe overhead. Then the proper amphibious unit would be spilling out of those longships, instead of drunken berserkirs.

A unit like that could also serve as a genuine huscarl.

Then again, the stock berserker could be better used as a hersir/huscarl, and the stock swordsman as a berserkir.

The Civ3 Swordsman is pretty Viking looking to me, he could be a Huskarl, but in retrospec there is already a Huskarl...

 

[Aluminium]

The CIV3 Swordsman is looking like a Ulfsark (wolf skin), the little brother of the Berserker (bear skin).

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Utahjazz made a Huskarl unit I believe....

Thanks for the info Aluminum!

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Well..... if the the Berzerker is a Huskarl, and the Huskarl's not a Huskarl, and the Swordsman is an Ulfskarl, then what does a Berzerker look like?

 

[Risbinroch]

Hehe, I'd like any Scandinavian unit, i'd like any unit at all. I have a dream to see flavor units for every civ in the game.

 

[Mithadan]

Just rename the Civ3 Beserker a "Hersir" and be done with it. It's not like the graphics show a half naked madman biting his shield.

 

[Rhye]

DomPedro, here's your old Elephant Archer, with many things fixed by Aluminium and me; I hope it can be useful to you. As I said, the perspective is still wrong.

I see that you've improved a lot the quality of your works recently, and I'm sure that a re-make of this unit will be worth the effort.
Will you do it next?

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Well... "it" is now probably going to end up being two units... one distinctively Indian and another Carthaginian, but generic enough that could be used for other civs as well.

 

[Rhye]

Great! I'd like to include the generic one into Rhye's of Civilization next patch.
Translation: I'm waiting to release next patch to include the unit in it

When will it be done?

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Unfortunately, I don't have any real time frame on this... I'm making a lot of the props for it rather than just using ones available online...

 

[Rhye]

can you give me an estimate time I'd have to wait for that unit?

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Well, if I push this unit to the top priority... which I very well may do, probably about two weeks... that's on the outside.
