Russian Units Pack, part 1

[Steph]

My request was just for translation, as the list of units I presented is a list of units already done!

It was also to help him decide what to do next, by showing what is already available.

Spoiler :

Of course, if he spots the "using placeholder graphics" parts in the list and decide to make animations for these units, I won't object much

 

[Sandris]

Is he good to be a Russian Medieval Spearman or not ?

 

[Ares de Borg]

Wow. He just jumped out of my Osprey book. I have to sit down.

Don't wait, upload!

 

[Tank_Guy#3]

That Russian medieval axemen looks like a Varangian Guardsmen. He very well could play that part.

Great units, I personally like them a lot.

Might want to have that top hand move down when he's swinging the axe (medieval axemen, obviously), but that doesn't detract from the unit any. Just a preference of mine, that's all.

Russian Medieval Spearmen: Go for it!

 

[Stormrage]

Moving the hand down the handle is correct, I was going to post the observation at the Animation Library when I got around to it.

My apologies Steph

Sandris, another one! And its awesome! Weee!

 

[Spacer One]

Holy crap, that was fast...are you human???

[edit] he look sbrilliant!!...get that guy in the fields(crags??) ASAP

 

[Sandris]

Stormrage wants the Medieval Russian Pikeman to be made. What should I change or add to the unit shown above ?

 

[Stormrage]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

 

[Wateus]

very nice graphics ^^
good job

 

[Madeira]

One thing I like about that last picture is the black beard, I dont have russians in my mod, and the vikings are part of the germanic people, allready have units for them. I do have schytians though, im planing on using these units for them, i just dont know if they were blonde

 

[Ares de Borg]

The Heavy Pikeman looks very good, I'll have a use for him. You could give him a little shield and an aventail (chainmail for the lower face) if you want.

 

[T-mun]

@Sandris:I really like the textures you're using. Did you make them yourself ?
@Ares: great pic! Very detailed... where did you get it?

 

[Ares de Borg]

Some sidenote: I love the historical correctness of your units. You must know the Osprey Book "Armies Of Medieval Russia", don't you?

Here's a link:

I think I could use each and every unit from this book, I really like the armor and style. Maybe because I'm a Norman Re-enactor, and the shields and helmets look similar.

 

[imperator1961]

Regarding post-medieval - pre-industrial period I would like to make a couple of strelets units (with a halberd, with a halberd and a musket) and maybe a horseman (oprichnik).
Regarding industrial period I would like to make a grenadier.

Oh Sandris, your units are incredible! I am interested in post-medieval - pre-industrial and industrial period 'cause I'm working to a Mod named Age of Colonization. This Mod cover the period 1496 - 1796 and I need flavour units. If you can expand the number of units you made for this period, I put all in my MOd. Thanks.

 

[Steph]

These previews are really good. I guess I'll have to update Russia regularly now

 

[Sandris]

What`s your preference ? Some modifications are needed ? And what about the round small shield ? Maybe colours ?

 

[BadKharma]

Is he good to be a Russian Medieval Spearman or not ?

That would be an awsome scandanavian unit as is.

 

[Sandris]

That would be an awsome scandanavian unit as is.

I plan to make some of the scandinavian units too, as well as the other civilizations` units, including such rare civs like myceneans, assyrians, native indians, chinese, mongolians (huns), scythians ...

...all I need is the time ...

 

[Stormrage]

I like them both, if more people like the masked guy, I have no objection. If you`re going to put extra armour, it should use the same texture as the helmet, no?

Great plans, I see! We`re very lucky to have you

Edit: You really should open a preview thread, I decided I like the masked version better, and without Ares it wouldn`t have happened...

 

[Ares de Borg]

The "masked" version looks better imho, and a shield would be great!

If you need any info according skandinavian / norman units, ask!
