India: Age of Gunpowder (19 Jan, 2008)

[rifleman]

I think it's fine.

If you want to make it perfect, it still needs work, but for a civ-scale unit, it looks great.

 

[Quinzy]

The recoil should happen during and after the cloud of smoke

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

?

Perfection................holding that rifle like you do...

 

[Plotinus]

That unit looks fantastic. My only comment is that as you have it now, the recoil from the shot and then the return to the firing position are the same speed. The return should be slower. He's not being blasted back into position. Otherwise it looks really good.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I'm adding all of Sandris Rifle guys to Heart of Destiny when hes done with them I think. The more flavor the better. I can't wait to see what he puts out.

 

[BadKharma]

A bit more recoil and you have it.

 

[Steph]

I must download your Mod from Civfantic's or fron your site http://stephane.f.david.free.fr?

@Sandris:
- Agreed with Plotinus, the recoil should be fast, and then coming back slower.
- The backward motion of the should and the upward motion of the rifle should be simultaneous. Currently, the rifle raise a bit, and the shoulder move backward after. There is no reason for that, it looks strange.

 

[Stormrage]

Agreed with Plotinus and Steph, you almost nailed it. Thanks for listening to us, quality animations add a huge amount of value to units.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I hope he posts his animations so I can make gunpowder units too. My only decent ones is my Egyptian Musketman and my Samurai Flintlockman. I lucked out with them.

 

[Sandris]

Here`s my Shooting Attack Animation Pose. If someone has some time and intention to modify it in a better way, it would be great.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Thankyou Sandris we will be all the better for it. I pmed you back btw.

 

[rifleman]

Once I get some time, I'll work on it Sandris. What prop do you use as the rifle? I'm not sure I have it.

 

[BadKharma]

Whatever rifle it is it looks like a perfect flintlock.

 

[Sandris]

I used Kinboat`s musket prop of his Janissary Musketman.

 

[cemo1956]

Thinking on thios India Gunpowder age.
Perhaps this Bengal Lancers for the future in your GREAT library of units Sandris.

 

[Steph]

They would be nice. BeBro made one, but earlier version (yellow shirt)

 

[cemo1956]

Perhaps even the British Lancers for the same time I think.
Last of the Horse riders I believe ....

 

[DragonBird]

Wow! they are very fancy

Not the last, there were still cavalry during WWI, and even WWII.

 

[Ozymandias]

Not the last, there were still cavalry during WWI, and even WWII.

And even at least into the 1970s, with the PRC using them to patrol remote, mountainous areas.
