A satyr druid could be really nice. It would add a bit of uniqueness, instead of just another old human in a robe (which I hope is not what it will look like, regardless. >_> )

I am still waiting for Lamia to be finished. I really want to see one added to the Kuriotates, but it keeps getting put on the back burner. Can the currently active artists work on that next, scrapping all of the old work if need be?

 

[Valkrionn]

The issue with the Lamia isn't the art (It's long finished) but the animation, which is something I believe both Warkirby and SeZereth have said they have issues making?

 

[Verdian]

Ah! I thought the person that had said they would do it stopped making art/coming to the forums, but nobody wanted to pick up where he left off.

A female Satyr druid might be interesting...

I'm pretty sure there are no female Satyrs. The horns and hooves only show up in male descendants of Cernunnos. He had many daughters too, but I believe those still just look like elves, although I guess they could be nymphs instead.

"Cernunnos was with us then as well, and had 3 mortal wives. They all bore him children and all the male children were born with the horns and hooves of their father. They were powerful fighters among the Ljosalfar and used to play games to test their strength. The greatest was said to be Gower."

(Does anyone else suspect that Arendal Phaedra and Faeryl Viconia are two of these three wives? And maybe that the third died after learning of her son Gower's demise, possibly while giving birth to Yvain?)

You aren't alone. I've long agreed with you in this point

Pre-op maybe

I can't speak for kael or seZ, but personally doing that would be a nightmare of such epic proportions that I don't want to attempt it. The number of FFH units which only have shader versions i huge. it's pretty much most of them.

...

I'd advise you get a better video card personally. They're getting cheaper all the time. I use an 8800 GTS and it handles anything Civ can throw at it for ease. they're probably pretty cheap now, I paid £100 for mine almost 2 years ago.

Then, could you at least release new unit in both version? (the druid comes into the mind...) I will downloaded and modded it into FfH myself. The video card still cost me two month of my salary so... not in my top 10 list. My son makes my priority

The Druid looks nice, I suggest with a wooden staff as weapon.

Thanks!

Sickle is traditional

 

[Tasunke]

I agree with Sickle or Scythe

 

[blade117]

I prefer sickle, scythe is too Death-esque

 

[WarKirby]

Sorry for not posting more updates. Been busy with other things. Will try to post more progress soon.

A sickle is too small of a weapon for the animset I think - think along the lines of Chalid's animations - I'm presently leaning towards something staff/scythe/spearlike. I'll give him a sickle too, but as a decoration - hanging fron the belt, not used in combat animations

A sickle isn't a weapon anyway. It's a tool for cutting herbs and branches, which just happens to be quite sharp and pointy.

 

[Squiggs]

Yes, a sturdy stave for the wandering druid. Keep it up, WarKirby!

 

[Tasunke]

Scythe!!

Dont some units already use a small weapon? Elven assassins, and the like?

I reskin the Elohim Mage with Elohim Adept's dds and resulting in Elohim Archmage. The file can be downloaded here

Credit goes to seZereth, obviously. All I did was reskin it

 

[esvath]

I reskin the infernal arcane units.

The first is Imp-reskinned with Mane.dds. The second is Mane Warrior (by seZereth and WarKirby) with little flame effect (stolen from Beast of Agares ). The third is Executor unit in FfH 0.23 (I believe also being used in the Scions?) reskinned with Mane.dds and added with little flame effect.

The download link is here

 

[Lone Wolf]

Woot! Thanks.

 

[esvath]

This is a reskinned work for the Hippus arcane line.

The first and second are reskinned from Austerin Mounted Adept (taken from RiFe). The third one is from Wizard model by Rabbit, White (here).

Credits go to original creators, as always.

Download here.

You make me look lazy.

I'm reeeeeeeally close to finishing the druid. Atm trying to solve a shader problem causing crashes when I try to get him to show ingame. but he's fully modelled, textured, rigged and animating, and 99% ready to go

 

[esvath]

Nah, all I did was using complete units and reskin them. I did nothing with designing, rigging etc you do.

Regarding your shader problem, I still prefer non-shader unit, as shader ones will not show up in my laptop ) I, however, learn how to remove shader from a model here. So, throw me your new (shader) units, and I will un-shader them. )
