New Unit: Roman Army 3/21/04

[Aluminium]

Nero means: !

 

[Dann]

Ooo, yes. A Roman flavor army.

Will use this for Fall of Rome scenarion. Since here, only they can build armies anyway.

 

[Goldflash]

I think I migth replace the anicent army with this. looks better.

By the way.. anone know if there are any other army Units laying around?

 

[Kinboat]

I don't know for sure... and after saying this I'm sure someone will come forward and prove me wrong but I think this is the only custom army unit made so far... At least the only one I can remember off the top of my head. I really don't know why that should be the case, as aside from a little more palette trouble it wasn't any harder than a normal unit. In fact it was a bit easier as it had fewer animations.

 

[Arne]

This looks much better than the ancient old man from Civ3.

I believe you made the first custom one. There is a Japanese one with PtW, but other than that I haven't seen any others. A shame, because some Lizardman, Amazon, Orc, Giant, Elven, or Dwarven armies would be really nice for my mod. This is not really a request as it would be nice, but not a must have, as the random leaders that are generated from battle all look the same. Only the buildable ones would apply to the several types.

 

[El Justo]

looks great...has anyone used this unit in-game? how does the AI handle/use it?

 

[Corn Shucker]

THanks Kinboat! lol seems im a bit late at relying but oh well. Im sure i'll enjoy using it as much as the roman leagionary

@El Justo: Kinboat said he did use it ingame and it worked fine, and its just basicly a relplacement graphic for the ancient leader, it should work exacly the same as be4 cept it looks better! I'm using it for my roman mod, i personally am not using it for all civs in ancient times.

 

[stgelven]

perfect job! every body use it as he wants, for me, it could be an uprade, i have to think about that.

Dear Kinboat, What your are doing is BEAUTIFUL thing! But how about giving a novice like myself a hint on how to incorporate your art into the game. I would greatly appreciate this and hold you in even higher regard. Thanx.

 

[Kinboat]

Are you asking how to add units in general to the game or how to use this unit in particular?

There are tutorials out there that show you how to add units to the various versions of the game... As for this unit the simplest way to use it would be to just replace one of the normal army units with this one. You could just put these FLC files into the Ancient Army unit folder and then open up the Ancient Army INI file and change the FLC names to the Roman Army FLC names.

 

[Mr2NineD9]

Thank You, Thank You Very Much - Kinboat you are most gracious.

 

[Figaro]

Yes there is another Army unit somewhere, in the Unit Library, a General- just like this unit, he's far better than the in game ones, who look like an Old Man and a civilian... great unit Kinboat, by the way, your WW1 units are great, but could you do a Zeppelin? Nobody seems to have done one, for all the WW1 planes to shoot down...

 

[Kinboat]

There was at least one blimpy type unit done... By Pesoloco if I remember. I think there might have been more but I'm not sure. I didn't recall the other army unit, thanks for pointing it out

 

[Kal-el]

There are a couple more Zeppelins by Wyrmshadow floating around in the ether.

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

I wasn't aware this could be civ-specific - and it looks superb .

 

[MHS]

Thank you, kinboat for this perfect unit!

The civ-specific colors and the animations are great.

 

[kevincompton]

This I will use!

 

[Dark Russell]

Any chance of seeing one that matches the Industrial Legion unit????

 

[Panzer_Blitz]

well its a nice unit even if you can't have battle created civ-specific armies.
