new unit: soccer player (15 feb 2008)

[ruby_sauce]

unit is game tested

here are the previews (they run faster in-game):

(default - fortify - attack (x2) - victory - fortify - attack - death)



the pentagon parts on the ball and the shirt are civ-specific

I made the shirt like this so when you are civ color red, you get the tunic of Feyenoord! .

I didn't do shin guards because whatever I tried, it wouldn't look good ...

and if you dind't notice, in the death animation, the ball flattens ...

I included sounds too, the death and attack are modified + unified sounds of normal civ units. the others are taken from other units and I didn't modify those.

oh well, ENJOY

HERE is the download

 

[Red Door]

He kicks like a girl, but I think it's a great unit and amazing idea.

 

[Stormrage]

Thats nuts! Haha, a fun unit.. now where can we use this?

 

[TopGun]

Pretty cool! This must be one of the funniest units ever made for Civ!
Now, if I could find a place for it in my mod... hmm...

 

[aaglo]

Haha!
That's pretty cool.

EDIT: I myself have thought of making a hockey player... hmmm - that could be a Canadian UU.

 

[Kyriakos]

Great unit

Although the victory animation could have been some acrobatic

 

[Ares de Borg]

Time to hit some Zombies with this ball...

 

[The Tuna Bomber]

this can go in the playground mod

 

[cubsfan6506]

nice unit ruby

 

[Bluemofia]

this can go in the playground mod

Considering we have an actual soccer player unit...

But I like the explorer. He has a sword he can wave around! Maybe for the soccer player horde though...

 

[sum_aar_jam]

Love the death animation. Its as if he is collasping after a failing to make a game winning goal or something

 

[WildWeazel]

haha, nice unit. I can see this one going into the Playground Mod. Good work!

 

[Rollinga]

ha, quite original!

 

[Leaven]

Wonderful and original unit! As others have said I'm not sure where to use it, but considering how well animated it is I really want to find a place! Good job and nice attention to detail.

 

[Ogedei_the_Mad]

Now we need a Zidane unit doing a headbutt attack.

 

[Plotinus]

Now that's a clever idea for a unit. The animations look really good and are already a big improvement over your last unit. Of course in the Victory he ought to pull his shirt over his head and go running about, but that might be a bit fiddly to make.

 

[Virote_Considon]

Excellent unit!

He kicks like a girl, but I think it's a great unit and amazing idea.

Oi! There's nothing wrong with the way he kicks the ball- I should know

 

[The Tuna Bomber]

Now we need an enraged soccer fan unit

 

[odintheking]

EFZI0 has a new crazy ass unit...

 

[Tank_Guy#3]

Thats nuts! Haha, a fun unit.. now where can we use this?

Four words: Escape From Zombie Island.

I must say, very interesting unit.
