Ogre Battle Mod Development Thread

[DelcranWestril]

For a while, I have been thinking about making a Mod for the old Enix game, Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen. I have gotten the map done, but really nothing else.
The problem is that there are two units that cannot be proxied, and they need to be made to capture the flavor of the game. These two units are the dollmage and the beastmaster.
Another problem is that there is no leaderhead that would fit for Deneb, who is a staple of all the games in the series. A leaderhead of Galf would be nice too.
I would make these myself, but I am completely untalented in the way of computer animation. Could someone help me out?

Thanks,
Westril

It might be helpful if you posted some pics of what you are looking for. I've never heard of the game you're referring to.

One of my favorite games of all time.

Would love to see the dollmage, beastmaster and Deneb units as well.

How about those pumpkin heads.

Too bad you can load and unload armies in civ3.

Here is a game shot of a battle and a couple pics of Deneb.

The game had large maps and armies and strategy. Would make a nice scenario.

The first pic is of the Beastmaster. Since I could not find a good pic of the Dollmage, there is a sceenshot of the game. The dollmage is the guy in the back with the long ponytail. The acid that is shooting out of the ground is his back rank attack. He has a doll sitting at his feet, and he animates the doll to attack his enemy for his front rank attack. If anyone tries to make these units, they don't have to be chibi or cartoon like. In fact, make them as civ like as possible.

Pounder, thanks for the pics of Deneb and the sceenshot.

Actually, there are quite a lot of units that should be made if this mod is going to work. Pounder pointed out the Pumpkin, which is a jackolantern that kicks his head at people as an attack.

There are some others, like the priest (1st pic), the eagle and raven men (2nd pic), Wizard (3rd), and traditional Ogre battle witch (4th).

If anyone is up to the task, I will be grateful beyond words.

I played an Ogre Battle on the playstation that was much different, I can't rememebr it's title, but it was Ogre Battle. You had armies of 3 characters (cannon) to 15 characters (goblins). It was a sweet RTS.

I remember ogre battle: march of the black queen being a song by Queen (from their second album)

They also have a remake called Ogre Battle 64 for the N-64 system that you might want to check out for graphics.

There are many different Ogre Battle games. The first being March of the Black Queen. The one for the 64 was "Person of Lordly Caliber". The one on the playstation (which was not the remake) is called "Let us Cling Together". There was one on the GBA, but I don't know the title as I never got to play it. It seemed to disappear off the market after I got access to a GBA. These games tend to do that. The 64 game was on the market for 4 months, then it just vanished.

Anyway, these games are influncing the mod very little, as I want to keep it true to March of the Black Queen. The only thing that will be in the mod that wasn't in the game is the Kingdom of Lodis.
