Islamic Militant

[Gary Childress]

An Islamic Militant for those Jihad mods. The unit is pretty versatile however and can probably be used as regular infantry for some middle east countries.

I tried something a little different with the Civpedia images. Instead of pure white background I went with a slightly off white. The civpedia image is below. Let me know what you think of the off white and if you think I should go back to pure white. Thanks.

NOTE: Speed in preview gif is off for certain animations.

Nice, Apache fodder!

Is that an AK? You know, I have some AK sounds in the database.

 

[Virote_Considon]

That was quick!

Good work

 

[TopGun]

Nice! Very nice!
How about an alternate "attack" animation, where he pulls a cord and blows himself up to meet the 72 virgins? I could have a use for that as a "suicide bomber" unit (would work like a cruise missile).

I was thinking about that also. Does anyone happen to have some good Poser props that simulate an explosion? I know how to do it in Bryce but I'm not quite sure how to do an explosion in Poser. I guess something for me to tool around with in between units.

@ Ares: Thanks Ares! I'll check out your AK attack sounds and see if they will match up with the attack animation.

Wow you made me spit out my coffee from laughing good one!

Excellent unit Gary, and welcome back!

Wait, I've read this thread before!

I've rated this A+, its all what I can say.

What are your plans Gary?

I don't think the uploaded AK sound is going to work. It needs to be a steady rate of fire from beginning to end to match up with the attack anim.

@ John Falkner: Hi John, right now no set plans. I'm just sort of browsing through my props and figures and piecing together some fun units to make. I may come back to my WW II stuff later.

Could this, as yet unedited, sound work?

Are you aware that Islam and Quoran prohibits muslims from terrorism and killing innocent people?
Terrorists that call themselves as "Muslims" ignores half of Quoran and half of the teaching they claim to be "their" path.

Luckily it's just few terrorists and not a whole nation

Otherwise, nice unit Gary

Looks Great Gary... Glad you are enjoying Unit Making and keeping your inspiration

Great unit once again !
This just prompted me a couple of questions:

1) ever thought about making versions of your units WITHOUT civ colors ? These would be less usable in traditional epic-style games where lots of different civilizations are present and some necessarily share similar units.
Nevertheless they would definitely look better in more specific scenarios where sides are easily identified. Time ago I edited some existing units removing civ colors for El Justo Vietnam War Scenario but - to be perfectly honest - it’s a boring process and results are not always as good as original unit was.
(It’s a bit easier if original unit creator uses simplified single-row civ color palette as Wyrm does)

2) is there any chance to see PAVN (People’s Army of Vietnam) and Vietcong soldiers in your excellent AK-47 trooper series ?

PAVN

Vietcong

 

[Gary Childress]

Hi Wolf_66, I can make some north Vietnamese and Vietcong units. Are you saying you would prefer them NOT to have civ colors? If so I guess I can do two versions of the units, one with civ colors and one without. Are these units going to be for El Justo's Vietnam scenario?

 

[Gary Childress]

How do these guys look?

 

[Ozymandias]

FYI for filler units there're both an NVA and VC unit which, although dated, are IMO still serviceable.
