Robert the Bruce animated leaderhead

[thomson_2001]

love that leaderhead.Being scottish myself ive often thought about creating a kilted warrior...but cant be bothered as am far too busy with some MesoAmerican and spanish units....one day though!

 

[sween32]

I'm a big fan of your units, so I'd love nothing more then for you to make a kilted highlander!

Maybe when this is done we could both work together to make a Scottish mod that just adds them as a civ, or a Scenario against England.

Just out of curiosity, what do you suggest for bonuses? Religious should be one of them, but I have no idea about the other.

 

[sween32]

I couldn't sleep so I did what I should have done from the beginning... modeled Robert the Bruce from Angus MacFadyen.

Here is Robert dressed up for the Industrial Age (without a background, that will come later)

 

[thomson_2001]

Im just play testing a mod where I have added 5 civs:- Arabia,Spain,The Vikings,The Maya and...THe Scottish! I made them militaristic and religious as they are a pretty aggrerssive civ. I also made them V.Aggresive on the slider and the efeects have been great. THe scots keep attacking my border villages and destroying them....pretty realistic. I may start work on the kilted warrior soon as the spannish conquistador is nearing the realms of the impossible (as i have no 3d programs!). Trying to add a pistol isnt working as all the surrounding colours are brown or black and Im not gonna make him have a white gun.lol.

Im just gonna add some more robes and some tartan to a units called "tribal warrior". Ill post a preview here soon if you want.

lol.Wow angus..i mean Robert looks great! cant wait to get this leaderhead.

PS: Im all for helping you with a Scotland v England type scenario thing.

Heres something i knocked up in the last hour or so (only 3 frames!). I want to get it looking perfect so it may take a week or two.tell me what you think.

 

[thomson_2001]

ps. there is a shield on his other arm.

Just noticed that the kilt on the blown up pic looks like he has a huge ass....its just looking like that cos i stretched the pic a bit weird.

heres a preview of the SW run.flc

 

[sween32]

Very cool! I'd ask for a shirt like in the pic, but I know how hard that is so it's perfect! Most of them ran around completely naked anyways, so they could have a huge speed advantage against their armored enemies.

Speaking of advantage, what do you think the stats should be? I'd say the same as a Swordsman with 1 extra movement, but that's waaaaay too powerful. That would make the Mounted Warrior look like a little girl! If Persia isn't in your mod, how about 4/2/1?

You prove once again to be a master of cut'n'paste!

The leaderhead and the unit look great! What is the ETA on their releases?

Thanks,

Vivo

 

[sween32]

I don't know. I'm very confused right now. I don't know if I should work on my mod (which is fun to play, but not to do), or make some leaderheads (which is fun to do, but delays the mod).

Here's a preview of defaults for both Ancient and Industrial ages

 

[GhengisFarb]

Looking good!

 

[sween32]

Almost done with the default for the modern age... any ideas for a background image?

 

[sween32]

Here he is for Modern Times. Not sure if I want to keep that background. I'm looking for more of an indoor thing.

Your gonna force my lazy but to start making FOUR different backgrounds for each set aren't you.........

 

[sween32]

hehehe... uh... I mean... nooooooo, why do you say that?....

 

[sween32]

alright... now for middle ages. this one is going to suck. do you have any armor yet, ghengis? or a chainmail texture for the mantle or hood?

EDIT: I found Chainmail on Kazaa but I don't know what it's for. It's still downloading.

Ditto.

I'll show you, I just might not make anymore leaderheads......

 

[sween32]

uh... was that just a retirement statement? You can't stop! You're the best of the best!

I hope you're joking... please don't quit...

 

[sween32]

Here's what I've got for Middle Ages so far.
