I almost forgot, Kindred.

While play testing the sound files, I noticed that the North facing animation tends to flicker at around the last few frames. Is it missing some of the final frames?

Works fine for me, does anyone else have this prob?

Those treesie sounds work for ya?

Yes, they are awsome!

Do you make these yourself?

My only question is, what is that tapping sound supposed to be in the default wav?

 

[COAtlantis1745]

I only wish I had the equipment to go out and do some sampling of my own, hehe. No, these sounds are mixes of other material. My sources include the Thief series by Eidos, a goodly-sized sound effects cd library, and Civ II and III ofcourse.

That tapping noise ( drawn from the Tree Beasts from Thief) was my attempt to convey the Ents talking to each other over vast distances. I thought it was pretty clever myself, hehe.

 

[Kindred72]

ok, cool.

Well, you do an excellent job.

 

[Balrog]

This unit + these sounds are really decent! You both did a great job guys!

 

[Sarevok]

damn... and ive had to use a jaguar warrior as an ent... good job!

 

[Mephansteras]

Ah! An ent! That checks another one off my wishlist!

 

[GIDustin]

Here is a question for ya, how hard would it be to make alt-attacks? One where he is kicking the enemy, another where he throws a large rock at him? If it is not too hard, could you try to make them?

Wow, perfect, do you make the model by your self?
What's your next plans? That's a great unit, I it!

 

[Amenhotep7]

You could also use this for like a unit aqquired through the genetics tech:a genetic tree experiment gone horribly horribly wrong...

But seriously, I know what it was intended to be, since I'm a LOTR fan, and it's one of the best units ever.

This may be a little late but for any who need or want to fix the NE Default Flc for Kindred72's Ent unit...here you go. The NE Default Flc was missing a Frame that caused the Ent to Blink Out in that direction.
...Very Fun Unit Kindred72 and the Sounds fit Great COAtlantis1745.
Here is the corrected Ent Default Flc zip (just Overwrite the Original file). Size 138 kb http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads6/Ent_Default_Flc.zip

cool unit kindred72!

 

[tjedge1]

Thanks Vuldacon for the fix, though I never noticed this problem before, now I won't have to.
And thanks again Kindred for making this unit.

 

[darthintrepid]

Awesome for a fanasy setting!
You do awesome work.

W00t! This is getting worked into my FF mod probably have to research "geomancy" (to create geomancers), followed by "contact with the treefolk" or something.

unless you want me to tie a ribbon around the old oak tree.

Good one! Although that might actually not be a bad idea... I might have to see what I can do with Animation Shop 3

Sorry to bump a relatively ol' thread but would you possibly be interested in modifying or adding attacks to this unit. Maybe making it a little more radially symetrical so a clump of them looks more like a clump of tree-like things rather than units.

For the attack, something like vines whipping about in every direction, or maybe like an electric discharge from the tip of the top canopy (kinda like neural discharges).

Ok let me rephase that. Would you mind If I modified this unit, (giving proper credit ofcourse) to make it look more tree-like than ent-like? Because I desperately need Chaos trees.

I think that Kindred would not mind, but he's also not really here much anymore to agree or object. I'd say you'd be safe to modify it, but don't count on him to make the changes.

I'm still around, just out of civ right now, though I need to buy a new conquests disk as mine has gone bad, so that I can play the new WH 2.0 that I've been waiting for.

Feel free to do what you like to my units, just give credit where due.
