Louis the XIV
Sun King
Hi everyone!
i realized it's very easy to reskin units and also very fun! So I created one thread instead of piling up tons of threads on the forum for all my unit reskins. If you have ever want a different kind of cross or a dragon, etc.. on the shield of a knight or swordsman etc.. you can post your request here.
Every unit has at least 1 picture here and on the download link.
Note: The links in the index are not download links, they are links that send you below to the part where I posted them.
Announcements:
-Because the forum only lets 10 pictures max in a thread from now on there will only be pictures in the download link. Except for the first 9 units.
Index:
I finally created my own unit! I decided the unit to be a real Musketeer from the age of the Sun King, Louis XIV.
The download link has pictures as well: DOWNLOAD
Changes:
-Color of clothes is black instead of light blue
-Has a sword
-When attacking a melee unit the musketeer charges with the sword
-When attacking a ranged attack unit the musketeer attacks with its gun
Credits:
-Me for changing the color and animation
-ChaosSlayer for the nif file of the musketeer with a sword
Instructions:
Unzip into Art/Units.
The only file that you need to define in the XML is the Musketeer.nif and Musketeer.kfm
Hope this comes in useful to someone
