The Newbie Nightmare
It's finally here!
I'd like to thank utahjazz7 for his wonderful tutorial and continuing help. I'd also like to thank everyone who posted comments in the preview thread. I initially started this project merely as a 'proof of concept' to show everyone at CFC that utah's tutorial works and that now anyone can make units. Originally, my carthaginian pikeman was just going to be a simple colour change. But then I added the shield, and then the helmet, then I made new texture maps for the shield and kilt, then the longer spear, etc. and this unit was born.
As I said in the preview thread, I'm in 2 minds about how to use this unit. One part of me wants to use this as the Carthaginian ancient-age spearman, have a different UU and use the Numidian Mercenary as the Carthaginian medieval pikeman. The other part of me wants to use this new unit as the medieval pikeman (technically, that's why I made it). Suggestions would be welcome.
I don't have Civ installed at the mo, so I'd appreciate it if some kind soul could test it out for me in-game. Looks okay in CivIII FLC, though. I've included the Civ Spearman sounds in the folder, in case anyone doesn't know how to link to the sounds in the real Spearman folder. If anyone either wants to make some specific sounds for the this unit ore suggest some existing ones, be my guest (it would make the unit more unique).
