New Units: Dragons

[Kanda]

Greetings...

A rider with a very long spear - Like on the horseman, could be the Civ color, and could also be another new unit - Dragon Riders (sort of like a pre tech helicopter.)

Details like a pack, a really nice high pommel saddle, a safety rope to keep the rider from falling out of the saddle, a long trailing rope ladder etc....

Question: In the Ini - there are three attacks - are they played one after the other?
So the first attack could be the flying attack, the second the melee attack etc...?

Kanda, for the Dragon Rider, you could find a Wyvern Rider somewhere. Perhaps it will fit you.

Glancing through here, I can't find a gold dragon. Could someone do a quick color coversion (with no civ specific color) or point me in the direction of one that already exists?

I have a Gold Dragon version I got from Grandraem, but I can't find the link I downloaded from. It will be in my mod. It has civ-specific colors, though, so if you want it anyway let me know and I'll see about uploading it.

The black one seems to be too bony for a dragon..

tjedge1, I would greatly appreciate if you could upload your gold dragon.

Here is the color conversion of the Gold Dragon I have with some sounds.

Nice touch-ups, Drift (though Smaug had a golden belly for the millenia he'd been snoozing on his treasure)

Very nice unit my friend.... I only use two of them but excelent idea on color variation.

These are great units, but I have a question. When I load them into the Civilopedia the background color is blue. I thought it was supposed to be white. Am I doing something wrong?

Did you add the icons in pediaicons.txt? Or did you just add the unit in the editor?

I can't believe that I never commented in this thread to say what amazing units these were! Awesome work, Kinboat! (And awesome work to the others that worked on variations).

Actually, I bumped this thread for a good reason.

Although a link is put above by tjedge1 for the gold coloured variation I created, it didn't include a proper units_32 or any large/small civilopedia pics, so here's the gold dragon variation with all proper files included:

More importantly, looking through this thread it didn't seem that anyone ever fixed the units_32 file. The wings weren't civ coloured, as they are on the unit, and the red dragon's body was civ coloured, which it shouldn't have been. Therefore I remade the units_32, making the dragons a little bigger in the frame, civ colouring the wings, and fixing the red dragon. This file contains all the original 5 dragons' units_32s from Kinboat, plus my gold dragon units_32. I hope that this still helps someone. The file is attached below:

While I've got this bumped, here's some smaller versions of the dragons that I made as well. These were lost in a request thread somewhere, so I thought I should post them here where they're more likely to be found by someone looking through this thread.

Smaller versions:

For PCX files, use the civilopedia pics from the standard versions, and use the new units_32 file that I posted in the post above.

Cool Grandraem. Thanks for going back and correcting.
