DPII's Unit Previews

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Who are you sending PM's to Aluminum? Why would anyone ignore you?

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Yeah, I use Poser.

Ah, I didn't realize I was supposed to respond to that last one.

 

[Aluminium]

Nobody does ignore my PMs. And I do not meen you Dom. It's the other way round.

And for Poser. Perhaps I could render some units.

 

[Dom Pedro II]

You're going to need a lot of stuff to be able to render... a lot of files. Besides, the actual rendering, for me, isn't nearly as time-consuming as the posing and the prop arrangement.

 

[Aluminium]

I forgot the textures. That would be lots of MBs to transfer. It's better you send me the pics.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Aluminum and Dom Pedro II toghether....are we looking at the first Civfanatics Unit Making Tag-Team?

 

[Dom Pedro II]

I guess the cat's out of the bag... I was hesitant to name Aluminium specifically because I wasn't sure if he wanted the spotlight until there was a finished product.

Yes, he's offered to help me, and I was more than willing to accept.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Aluminum and you will make a great team I'm sure. Wish I good help myself...but I have no idea on how to use a 3-D graphics program...plus I don't have one...

You and Aluminum toghether will certainly speed up unit creation, and lower your stress level DP...either way we all win!

 

[Supa]

Ostrich ? Yak ? That would be fun

Dom, what happened to your Cannonneer Elephant ? I though you were going to make one.

 

[Dom Pedro II]

I'm going to jack my own thread for a moment:

I just found out my next door neighbor, Jimmy Gnecco, is on the Spiderman 2 soundtrack! [dance]


That said. Supa, sorry, I missed this before...

The Yak is conditional on a Tibetan civilization. And the Ostrich is conditional on that I actually GET an ostrich model.

The Elephant Cannoneer (and Gatling Gun Elephant) have been pushed back simply because I feel that there are more important gaps to fill. We currently have enough elephant units to fill all of the vanilla Civ 3 gaps. I'll sinch up the historical pachyderm holes later.

 

[Dom Pedro II]

BEWARE ALL!

For the Saracens are here!

 

[Supa]

I'll search after a Ostrich model for you. I've already an idea for this unit-line, and I think it could be really fun (damn the historical game ! ).

The El. Cannoneer would be useful as counterpart for the Reiter in Horse-line, but you're right, it can wait.

 

[Supa]

Does this fit you ?

I've got other models in EPS (?) and MAX format, but I couldn't load them (I haven't the appropriate program). If you want, I could send you them.

 

[Ozymandias]

Scaled up, Supa's model of an ostrich should work well enough for a moa as well --

 

[Ozymandias]

BEWARE ALL!

For the Saracens are here!

AAAARGH! HIDE THE WOMEN AND MOAS!!

 

[Dom Pedro II]

I have a suitable Moa already... but it's way to bulky to pass for an ostrich.

So yes, I'd like that ostrich!

I don't know where you got it because I looked in a lot of places

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

The Moa is extinct? Looks familiar, I think I've seen a live one somewhere to be honest.

Almost like a bird version of the Llama.

Thanks for taking the time and doing all these units Dom Pedro II(AKA Aaglo), us civ modders really appreciate it.

I'd imagine you'd need to make a new unit pack thread for the Australian/Polynesian Units though. Someone requested some Koori units awile back, he even did conscept art for them(the Crocodile Warrior is the best). If you need inspiration for any other Australian Native units, that thread is the place to go(probably on page four by now)

...

I'm fairly sure you haven't. The Maoris got to New Zeeland 800 years ago (or was it 800 CE?) and saw "Hey, great 3.5 meter high birds that can't fly. Let's have a barbecue!" and exterminated them in a hundred years.
You might confuse them with the emu's.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Maybe. But I'm serious, I swear I saw a big bird that looked much like that image. I'm not joking.

 

[Goldflash]

You're probably thinking of the Emu or Sesame Street.

Anyway, I don't see the Aztec War Elephant in that List. I was looking foreward to that one...
