Egyptian Units

[NikNaks]

Yes please! I'm going to make buttons for the units in Visimod, so I'll post them where I need to. I'm working on the Meso-American ones now.
There will be gaps because I don't have all of the units in my mod, but I can make them if requested.

 

[Bakuel]

Thanks NikNaks93! I hate making buttons personally. It would be great if you could give them to me after you make them so I could add them to the download, with credits to you of course! The gaps don't matter though, I'm glad to be getting any buttons at all and it would be best to focus on the ones in Visimod. The gaps can be filled whenever.

 

[NikNaks]

Cool. I'm doing some atm. Should release later today.

 

[Gedemon]

woooow great job Bakuel

I really like those kind of "what if" units, they're going in my mod with your mesoamericans ASAP

 

[cybrxkhan]

i have a request, Bakuel would you mind making a musketman (and maybe even rifleman) of the same style as these units? that would be awsome!

 

[NikNaks]

He's working on other medieval units. Not sure if those are included though.

 

[cybrxkhan]

thats still great... i love Egypt, these units make me want to play Egypt and conquer the world...

 

[Bakuel]

@Thanks Gedemon!

@cybrxkhan
What do mean by same style exactly? Do you mean a musketman wearing an Anubis mask? Or something more generic Egyptian? I actually have no idea what Egypt would look like in the age of enlightment or the industrial age... I'll have to think about that.
This week I was trying to finish off the middle ages though and then I need to tackle five or six units requested by NikNak93 for the Visimod.
But don't worry these aren't the only Egyptian units I plan to make.

Hopefully the rest of the middle ages will be posted on Saturday or Sunday.

I can't wait to see your new creations Bakuel.

Another thing to think about is egyptian boats. I saw some egyptian caravels in the civ III database which were really interesting what ifs. Just a thought no pressure.

General Matts the guy to ask for ships.

Well then lets ask them to put together their unit making skillz for some real egyptian boats.

 

[Bakuel]

My skill level with blender isn’t high enough to make really technical 3d models like boats. If I teamed up with General Matt I would hinder rather then help him.
Though it would be nice if someone persuaded General Matt to make an Egyptian warship (And more wooden ships in general).

i don't care what it looks like! it'll still look great! though i think some kind of animal mask would make it look pretty cool still! its still pretty great work!

i think maybe you could make a "Horus" unit, based on the god horus... something like this:

or this...

they'd look pretty wicked holding a rifle or machine gun!

 

[NikNaks]

The heavy footman in the OP is a 'Horus Knight'.

 

[cybrxkhan]

er... heh heh... my bad...

you could have a "Ra Knight", though that would sound kinda lame... "the Knights of Ra", or the "Knights of Seth"...

heres a picture of Ra:

and Seth...

though i must admit they would look very similar to the Horus and Anubis knights if you made them into units, so... but they'd still look awesome wielding guns!

 

[Bakuel]

I don’t know if I will make any more god masks, but I’ll think about it. I never noticed Horus’s hat before…
The major problem with making Egyptian Musketmen and Riflemen is that I would like them to be somewhat more advanced then the Middle Ages and Ancient era, yet at the same time keep a distinct Nile flavor. I’ll have try to think of some designs for these.

 

[cybrxkhan]

that sounds great! i don't think an Egyptian nuke would be hard to do, though, just paste some hieroglyphics on it...

good work you're doing here!

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Heres some Egyptian Rifleman concept art I cooked up with my Poser 6 program:

 

[cybrxkhan]

^the guy looks interesting, but i think he has too much a "Western" flair for a pseudo-Egyptian unit. i think he'd make a good steampunk unit, though.

Heres a Egyptian Musketman, also made using Poser:
