Orthodox Priest (9 December 2006)

[Kyriakos]

It is archbishop Christodoulos!

As he can be seen here, impersonating De Niro when he played Satan, alongside Mickey Rourke

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Nice work, Plot! This will replace MRTN's Temujin modification as the Sage UU for Sassoon in my FF mod.....

 

[Mithadan]

Looks sweet, Plotinus. Looks like he even crosses himself in the proper Eastern way, no? Naturally you'd pick up on that detail, though, given your education!

 

[Plotinus]

Naturally, Mithadan! Although in this case Partizanac told me how to do it, so I didn't need to look it up. It's a long time since I've been to an Orthodox church and actually seen it done.

 

[Lord Malbeth]

Wow! This is really cool. I love it. Do you mind if I put it in my World of Magic scenario?

 

[Yoda Power]

That's just one great unit, even better than your previous monks!

 

[Grandraem]

Great job, as always.

 

[Balam-Agab]

I love it!

Could you passably make a fireball attack?
That would be cool

 

[Plotinus]

I originally planned a fireball attack, but it didn't work out.

[Lord Malbeth] Of course you can use it in any mod. That's what custom units are for.

 

[T-mun]

I really like him. I may never use them, but all of your priest units are just amazing. Why not make another great bearded man, dressed in red, throwing presents, y'know errr... what's his name ?

 

[beboy]

Very nicely done!!! as always!

 

[Tank_Guy#3]

Shame the scenario Rambuchan (mainly) and I were working on is sort of headed towards cold storage. We were in desperate need of units like this.

 

[Ekmek]

any morereligious units in the future?

 

[Onza]

Well... no need to repeat what's already been said - superb work, Plotinus.

Every monk unit of yours are overwhelming - I've just seen them to-day for the first time.
You are a Theologian??? And a very unusual sense of humor. - Respectful bow .

Can you possibly be also interested in making a Yogin?

I my view it would be very logical since you do like religious units and the high-ranked yoga-practinioners are probably the most powerful superpower-owners on Earth.

Something like a very slim oldman with brown skin, long-long black-gray hair and ribs seen on his chest, sitting in a lotus-posture with closed eyes and lighting hitting his enemies. (it could be the same animation for defolt/fortify/attack, while running could be just walking oldman)

And the same model but with bright orange Buddhist wrapper and bald head - for a Lama or T'herawada Priest.

It would be very much needed for Oriental scenarios... and maybe not so very much diffikult to do (ginven the complexity of the units you've already made).

Thank you in advance if you really like the idea and make the units.

 

[Mirc]

Good suggestions, but attack animation has to be really different to the default if you want a professional unit.

 

[Onza]

Oh, yes, of course, the attack animations would better be with lightning (or a kind of semi-translucent mist emanating from the Yogin/ Buddha monk) and the defolt/fortify should be without any "superpower effects"
But the posture of th unit could be the same for all three types of animations - since it is all the same, the meditation posture, which should be used by such a unit .
I just wanted to make my request easier for Mr. Plotinus.... - maybe that would make it more likely that he gets interested in making a Buddhist monk and a Yougin units...?
Because they are needed in Asian scenarios especially given the fact that the units of the way less Superpower-talented Christian priests and even the muslim-looking "monks" have already been created.

 

[Plotinus]

Glad you like it, Onza. The Asian ascetic idea sounds interesting - especially the Buddhist monk, as I have a good friend who is one - but I don't have any plans to make any at the moment, I'm afraid. Too much on the list already!

 

[Onza]

I see. Thank you for the reply, Plotinus.
Maybe later you will find some time... to make a cyber incarnation of your friend

Good luck!

 

[dragonprobably]

Looks more like a Rabbi than a Orthodox Priest! But, what do I know? I'm a Protesent

 

[Ares de Borg]

Please be advised that needless bumps are not appreciated, young man.
