those ancient militia units were great, and it's nice to see the progression - cheers.

Very nice, and thanks for the exhaustive documentation too.

Thanks... I might continue them to Renaissance, then Industrial. I won't go Modern because GarretSidzaka made some nice ones, a WorkerMarine, a guy with a molotov, an anarchist....

Very nice, and thanks for the exhaustive documentation too.

Not exactly exhaustive... Just a sentence or 2, which says the PolyCount and a brief description.

 

[sedna17]

Still, with that short description and the buttons it makes a very nice package.

Do you think it is possible you could make ethnically diverse versions of your militia units, like having Native American, Middle Eastern, African, and Asian variants?

Otherwise, great work so far!

mmmh, i thought of using one of your ancient militia units in a small modcomp for medieval militia, but maybe i'll take on of these.

-> Nice .

Shouldn't be too hard.
With some head switching and some reskinning i could do it.

 

[cybrxkhan]

^That would be great, thanks. I'd love to see an Asian guy with that hat and a pitchfork.

 

[mechaerik]

What hat?
10chars

 

[cybrxkhan]

The cone hat stereotypically (though probably rightly so) associated with Asian peoples.

 

[nutnut]

I can certainly find a place for this in my Mod.

These units look pretty good, however the pikeman is a little odd. Pikemen usually didn't have shields because the length of the pike was approaching 1.5m to 2m and thus required two hands. Also, for the same reason, the pike would be held with both hands around waist-high with the butt end planted in the ground.

 

[GeoModder]

I'm loath to report a problem about the medieval swordsman, Mechaerik.

I introduced the unit in a new mod of mine, but have a Python Exception popup whenever I reach the era (medieval era) the graphic is used AND I activate (click on) the unit. The game freezes then.

In spoilers is the xml I use. First the unitartstyletypeinfos:

Spoiler :

And ArtDefines_Unit:

Now, I have tried with the normal warrior button and the button you provide, but that doesn't make a difference.
Do you have any idea why this happens? Sofar this sort of popup only seems to happen with units which were switched to another animation. And never mind the spaces in the unitartstyletypeinfos tags, those aren't in the xml file.

 

[The_J]

Has nothing to do with the buttons. Look at this thread, last 3 posts.

 

[GeoModder]

Renaming seems to work for one of the units I had trouble with. Thanks.
But the one I posted about already has similar .nif -and .kfm names.

 

[Maniac]

The nif and kfm names already are the same in GeoModder's example.

 

[GeoModder]

Solved it. Renaming both the .nif -and .kfm files to the .kf files fixed the issue.
(the .kfm was refering to knightstemplar .kf files)
