Preview - War dog!

[Straczynski]

So... You know that dog who walks alongside the Conquistador in C3C, right?

(and yes, FLC2GIF messed the pallete)

I'm just separating the dog from the rider. All I have to do now is finishing the death and victory anims. After that, it will be up to you (well, up to me too ) to copy-and-paste this dog and make some much-needed units with him. Just think of the possibilities...

- Roman War Dog
- German WWII Canine Unit (it's a German Shepherd after all)
- Soviet Anti-Tank Dog
- Police K-9 Squad
- Dog Sled
- Counter-Intelligence Operative (a guy with a dog who would sniff out invisible units)

So... What about it?

 

[Goldflash]

Hey! Good idea!

 

[Louis XXIV]

Definately a good idea. Aside from a War Dog, I'm sure Noah's Ark could use it (along with Dire Wolves).

EDIT: One thought. Is it going to be off centered because the Conquistador was originally taking up the middle?

Yep. And since the dog's master will also take up the middle... But, if you need it, I can center the dog easily.

I will obvously need this unit for my mod 'Animal Wars: Pet and Pest' that you can check out from the link in my sig. This will be a BIG help since the dire wolves are the only other dog unit I have!

BTW, I would like it centered please, if it's not too much trouble. I would be very grateful!

Could you also create a conquistador without the dog? I could really use it as a light cavalry unit for a scenario.

 

[shadowdude]

Awesome, good job!

Sure, why not! Yeah, I can make the Conquistador into a Caballero!

Don't forget European Medieval war dogs -- mastiffs were certainly used in this role in Britain.

A War dog would be useful to my mod as well. Very good idea.

 

[mrtn]

Maybe add the dog to a swordsman? (Not neccessarily the vanilla one.)

Victory preview. Now we need a matching "howling at the moon" sound.

I think it isnt in the center of the animation, am I right?

 

[El Justo]

very creative and i'm likin that vicory anim. reminds me of my own pooch a little.
what kind of stats would he have?

 

[Straczynski]

I think it isnt in the center of the animation, am I right?

Yep. As I said before, the Conquistador used to take up the middle of the frames, and this space will also be used by the dog's new masters.

what kind of stats would he have?

That depends on how you plan to use him. I'd make him avaiable on the Industrial age and give him something like ADM 2/2/3, so he can defend itself in some situations, attack those unprotected workers and settlers, move a bit fast and also have "detect invisible units" flagged, so he can sniff out enemy spies.

 

[subbss]

I would be very happy someone if someone could please make him centered!

 

[Kinboat]

What about the dog alongside the king of Austria in the Conquest Expansion... It only has four animations so you don't get an attack but it looks more like a Medieval Mastiff type dog...
