New Unit: Teutonic Knight

[BeBro]

Ok, to the anims I have now:

Generic 12/13th century knight (similar to those knights from the earlier preview, but with a more generally usable civ-color scheme):

attackA - lance
attackB - axe
run and default show him with lance, but i´ll include additional run/default anims without lance

Generic 14/15th century knight (the guy from the last preview):

attackA - lance
attackB - mace (sp?)
as above run and default show him with lance, but i´ll include additional anims without it

In that way you can choose yourself if you want these two knights with, or completely without lances. The ini files I´ll release will be with lance, but you can edit them to use the additional anims.

For the three knights modelled after those medieval kings I don´t plan alternative anims so far (probably all with swords in attackB).

I didn´t make one with a hammer, because I´m not sure if that fits for medieval knights (since they are not mainly for fantasy).

I hope to release the complete pack later this week, in the "worst" case on the weekend.

The "hammer" wasn't used a lot, but the "bec de corbin", or military pick, was really used a lot because it was quite efficient against some armor.

Here are some drawing I've made for my RPG. They are based upon historical weapons

 

[Costa e Silva]

The "star mace" should be great, but i think it could impossible to be noted in civunit size...

 

[embryodead]

by hammer i meant something looking more like that "bec de corbin" that steph has shown If you haven't started yet, I'd also think bec de corbin would be better than mace, though I'll use whatever you do in fact

 

[BeBro]

Those look cool, Steph

embryodead, here´s a little static preview of the two generic knights, they show what i use currently. I guess I´ll not change them, however, I still have to do anims for those other three knights, one could have such a "bec de corbin"-style weapon

 

[embryodead]

Previews look great of course I generally prefer short weaponry for knights, they just fit more civ3 unit vs. unit combat. BTW I'm pretty sure that knights were using axes too, though smaller/shorter ones ("riding axe" or "knight axe", but I'm translating directly from my language).

If you're still doing more knights, is there a possibility that the guy with bec de corbin-style weapon had no helmet? Sorry if I get too far with my requests today

 

[mrtn]

BeBro, they look stellar!

No problem

Without helmet? But what should the rest look like - clothes, armor, shield etc.? Do you have a pic I could use as help?

 

[John Falkner]

Great! I like them, even in original size

maybe i change my Avatar with one of them

 

[embryodead]

Thanks BeBro

Here's the pic, The Order of the White Wolf. Other knights from Warhammer are normal, european-looking, just this one is pretty unusual (they're sort of berserker-knights; war hammers and lack of helmets are their obligatory battle setup, though fur isn't).

EDIT: I added text description from critical-hit; lack of shields is mentioned too while the weapon is called maul (but from what I found maul, bec-de-corbin and war hammer are almost the same).

[...] In keeping with the traditions of how their forebears fought and defeated Chaos, the Knights of the White Wolf only fight with large, two-handed mauls and never wear helmets or carry shields. In fact in battle they fight with little finesse [...]
The White Wolves may not care for wearing helmets or carrying shields but they do wear suits of plate armour and mantles of wolf skin. [...]

 

[Madeira]

Those look awesome!!!

That´s a cool pic - I´ll make him during the next days. I had the others finished, so decided to throw them out. I´ll release this one separately then

 

[embryodead]

Thanks In the meantime I'm adding the other 5 to wh-mod

 

[Jason The King]

Can i use this too BeBro?

 

[BeBro]

Well, yes, and as Yoda wrote in another thread, all units here are free. However, it would be nice if you credit all creators in your mod´s readme (in case you want to publish you work ).

 

[achs2007]

Good job, i would have used the moring star, but good job

 

[BeBro]

Here´s what I´ve done so far for the WH knight. There is still some work to do on the details, but before I coninue I´d like to hear if there are any objections, or if you think basic changes are needed.

The civ colors are the red elements - I´d like to cover the wolf fur only the upper part of the mantle because I tested it before and it didn´t looked so good when all was in white. Should I leave the rest in civ-color (red) as on the preview, or simply in another darker color like brown or dark grey.

 

[embryodead]

It's great! You even did the fur and warhammer-type horse armour
I like the civ-colouring, it's good that it is visible.

 

[RedAlert]

This is so cool!
What's even cooler is that I just found out that my great-great-great-great- X I have no idea - grandfather Johannes was a Teutonic Knight. Awesome!

Bright day
I am very sorry for this necromancy. I just found it very interesting that knight (one before the last) BeBro made is essentially Czech one. BeBro if you are with us, would it be fine if I try to sell them to Embryodead for use in Mediaeval European Mod?
May all your days be bright.
