Very very cool looking. What was the process that led to "I need to create giraffe archers", though? Just curious.

 

[Chamaedrys]

Nice! But the archers could look more African.

 

[woodelf]

Useful to a civ without access to horses.

Very cool.

Download now includes version with Zulu Impi riders.

Happy now Chamaedrys?

Why giraffe arches you ask hamtastic? Mostly just to see if I could.

But woodelf, they'd need access to the Giraffe resource, and I doubt that there are many of those on most maps.

 

[woodelf]

Nah, you simply need a Zoo building and you can use those.

They look awesome.

 

[Ploeperpengel]

Haha that's funny but topquality.

Good i'll be the first to download again, thx.

 

[Impaler[WrG]]

Can you make a rider less version as well for use as an animal

 

[Grave]

This is a very original concept! I like it!

 

[GeoModder]

What's next? Amazon archers riding panthers?

 

[strategyonly]

I need a bunch of female units, HOPING?? LOL

Yes

They're beautiful. I'll use them as a UU for the Zulus.

 

[hrochland]

Very fantastic. I himself wont to do something similar (giraffe), but this is excelent
@ Strategyonly: yes, yes, yes - more female units

 

[AlazkanAssassin]

Impaler[WrG], here is a version without the rider.
It will still only use the animations of the camel archer, so it will not look quite appropriate in battle.

 

[Dom Pedro II]

I would personally like to use the giraffes as new bonuses for ambience on the map. I don't like the lack of exotic creatures.

How about some gazelles too?

 

[LunarMongoose]

I love these, though technically the necks need to be longer.

What's next? Amazon archers riding panthers?

Only if they have blue or purple skin and can cast Starfall.

 

[Roland787]

is there a certain program one needs to create ones own units such as these?? if so could somebody please let me know what it is, ive been askin all over what i need to create my own units but no answer yet and am curious because i really wanna start doing something such as this.

any help highly appreciated!!!!

 

[AlazkanAssassin]

All I used on this unit was nifviewer. (Available in the utility programs forum)
Although you will also want The Gimp (for skinning) and Blender (for advanced work)

 

[Roland787]

thank you, i now have blender, cuz its free, lol. now im tryin to work thru the rocket science in figuring it out. hopefully ill be able to do a few things with it before too long.
