Mounted versions of units (06/04/06)

[Tyranausaurus]

How many ways can I spell awesome?? Superb Work .

My only suggestion would be an archer on a horse. this would make it possible to have Mesopotamian horsearchers - rather than the horsearcher which already is in the game but looks rather Mongolian -.

Oh man, I totally forgot about the Horse Archer. I might even do horse archer versions of the units I already posted - I mean an Indian on a horse with a bow, if that's not straight from The Last Mohican then I don't know what is.

The more the merrier! Personally I do prefer having units look correct on a map, I don't like the Babylonians with Mongolian horsearchers or Iroquois with a generic archer,,, and from seeing your 'Ethnically Diverse Units' thread, I see that I'm not the only one who does .

Anyway, keep inspiring, it would be nice to see some horse archers look ethnically diverse too . Thanks for all the work Rabbit.

WR, are you planning to make ethnically diverse versions of these units?

 

[Rabbit, White]

If I'll need them I'll use them. But I haven't gotten to any horse units with EDU yet, I still want to add Egyptian style, though that's probably not gonna be done for another week. Once I get them done I'll probably move on to the next batch of units including Archers, Horse Archers and so on, but it'll be another two weeks or so before I get there.

Hey Rabbit White what program do you to do stuff like this and could you show me what it is and where to get it ???(note I am just wondering and you have the right to not to tell but I was just wondering) It would rely help

Did Michelangelo tell everyone how he created all his masterpieces? Did Picasso teach others how to incorrectly draw the human anatomy? Why should I...

Kidding. I'm using the NIF Viewer that comes with 3ds max plugins for . I've written two tutorials on its use, the links are in my sig. As for the particular technique I'm using to create these, well you should first read the tutorials and try out the viewer yourself, 'cause it won't make sense to you otherwise.

Any chance you could make a mounted spearman?

 

[Rabbit, White]

Yeah, I can swing that. Which animations would you prefer for him Keshik or Immortal (I've been using Immortal for these guys)?

 

[Rabbit, White]

Updated with more units, see first post.

 

[seZereth]

hell yea, you rock rabbit

 

[Chamaedrys]

Wow! I always wanted to see the tknight on a horse. Thank you!

 

[Ploeperpengel]

Awesome Rabbit! Thx for the Templar and Swordsman

 

[Rabbit, White]

Glad you like these.

If you already downloaded the new set, there is something I forgot to mention, which you might be interested in, so I put it in the first post right after the screenshot.

Ah thx, that's comfortable. Most of them will receive your Lance and the Keshikattack though but comes in handy for the officers

Rabbit, could you make (I know this sounds stipid) a setler, a archer, a warrior and a scout on a raindeer (note there are Native Siberains that ride Raindeer like a horse)???

The raindeer in the game is a resource - for one they don't play nice with units for some reason, i.e. can't use a resource as a unit. In addition that raindeer doesn't have a rider by default, I need there to be a rider on the horse in order to put a different one. So the short answer is no, sorry.

 

[Cannae]

Well could possabaly edit and probabaly reskin a horse to make it look like a Raindeer(sorry if I am being persitsnt and anoiying)???And I was not talking a bought the resorsue.

Awsome!!!!!!!!!!

But I was just wondering if someone could get the XML going?
I'm just begining with the adding units and all.

 

[Rabbit, White]

@Slavic: You can't turn a horse unto a deer, they're too different. The most you can get is a horse that looks like somebody glued antlers on its head I can't imagine how would one go about reskinning the horse to look like a deer and I'm certainly not good enough of a skinner to do that myself.

If you'd like I can model the antlers and you could easily attach them to the units I made, but you'll need to find someone else to do the skin.

@Zebra: There is a tutorial on how to add units.
