Nice unit Chuggi. And the woodelf position is mine!

Hurry up Arda mod, so we can play already.

Beautiful - real jewel in arda mod

Chuggi, Amazing... i really think you are one of the best unitmakers around here... Beautiful.

Nice unit Chuggi. And the woodelf position is mine!

Hurry up Arda mod, so we can play already.

Trying. I've, with Geomodders help, found something very strange: the Barbs show up as a choosable choice for a civ. (in the Civ4civilizationinfos.xml, Bplayable is 0...) any idea?

 

[Chamaedrys]

Wow! A very good unit.

Unfortuneately the green gras isn't good for such an evil leader.

 

[woodelf]

Heh, he should be standing in FfH2 Hell terrain.

 

[Chamaedrys]

Heh, he should be standing in FfH2 Hell terrain.

Yeah, that would be cool!

 

[thomas.berubeg]

If FFH wants to use him, then fell free... (that goes for all the units) unless chuginator doesn't want them used

 

[Chuggi]

Feel free to use him in FfHII.

Here's some stats:

Uses two textures, plus gloss (all about 256x256 pixels) also some environment maps. 256 should be alright for Civ IV as the vanilla tanks use 256, but you can always resize the maps if you like (it's easier to resize down than up )

The head and mace models are about 1100 polygons together, which isn't too bad. In The Lord of the Rings you're only going to have one of these guys anyway but you could have an army of these guys and probably not notice anything.

Enjoy!

WO that is ****ing awesome!!!! you are the man!

 

[Chuggi]

Thanks it's definitely one of my better units.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

he is Amazing!

 

[Zuul]

Very nice .

 

[Dunraven]

Sorry for the thread necromancy. Does anyone know where the elven warrior Sauron's fighting in the second image is from/where to find it? It looks amazing in it's own right but I haven't been able to track it down anywhere....

 

[thomas.berubeg]

It was made by Sezereth for the Arda Mod, and is hidden somewhere in the Arda Mod thread.

Sez, if you see this, do you mind posting it here, too?

 

[Dunraven]

Thanks for the help, but that doesn't quite seem to be it. I tracked down the post I (think) you were referring too (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=183703&page=13&highlight=elven). The elven unit SeZ upped there looks like a prototype of the one in the image in question. So...helpful/getting closer, but not quite there. I comb the rest of the thread and wasn't able to find a further-developed version. Maybe someone else took it and ran with it? Or maybe I just found the wrong post! Either way thanks for the help - it's a start

 

[Chuggi]

Hey Dunraven!

I used some of the awesome textures SeZ made (by copy/paste/free transform) and then used the Knight's Templer as a base model with a new head I made. But I did all this months ago and I don't think it's good enough to upload, SeZ's original is probably better

 

[Dunraven]

Thanks! I may well do something similar myself - I was actually already thinking about it!

 

[Chuggi]

Cool Do you have any modding experience?

 

[whistler1331]

This looks like an awesome skin, but I am a noob in this department. Can someone please explain (step-by-step) how I load unit skins after I have downloaded them. Would love to have this unit.
