New Unit: Wizard

[Kindred72]

My first unit in quite a while. For the upcoming fantasy mods.... It has a couple tiny flaws that I'm sure some of you will find. But, enjoy.

BTW if there are any Pallette Masters out there feel free to create White wizards/black wizards from this.

First to reply.

My first reaction was "Saruman King Unit", but I'm not a LOTR freak, so I can't be 100% sure.

Thank you Kindred.
Glad to see your making units again. Your Scottish Warrior was especially fantastic.

Nah, it's Gandalf the Grey!
Nice unit Kindred, good to see you up and running in the unit creation again.

Sorry to reply to myself, but I saw that there where transparency issues with the pcxs.
Kindred, it's easy to learn how to do it. If you use photoshop I can give you a "course".
Anyway, here they are:

Yeah, I did it all in poser. However, If I were to do it again, I'd make the light stream in the victory animation a little thicker, it's a little too hard to see in the game.

edit: Also, I wish I would have made the square wider so that the ball would fly a little farther.

Fantastic!

Super!

 

[Mackel-Loos]

Thank you for this beautiful unit Kindred72.
We have now an Istari (like Gandafl, Saruman, Radagast, ....).

What do you think about a Nazgûl unit?

Don't be so tough on yourself Kindred 72... This is a very Cool unit and I like your handling of the Light and Reflections. Great addition for my Fantasy Game.

Well, I know how picky you guys are.

The attack and victory took me a long time to do with the lighting animations, so I kinda just sped through the other animations.

Sweet !

great unit as always, but isn't the death flic not a little to stiff? I know he's old but..

I have discovered it is always best to animate a 239x239 animation, it doesn't make the file size much larger, but allows you flexibility if you ever want to add to it, and 239 means you can use a a 10 wide pixel grid easily in a paint program. (there is an extra pixel in between animation cells that would throw off and make the grid useless)

Oh yeah, and this unit looks cool too.

OMG! This is one of the best units ever made, thank you!
