Sherlock Holmes (26/02/10)

[Plotinus]

It's Holmes - what more needs to be said?

(The cape and hat are civ-coloured.)

Get him here.

This unit won Unit Of The Month January 2010!

[EDIT] Vuldacon has kindly tidied up the sounds for this unit. I have put the altered ones in the file and re-uploaded it. He's also made a non-civ-coloured version, with a dark grey cape:

Get the grey Holmes here.

Plotinus you are a god

 

[Takhisis]

Blimey! Could he be fit into the Zombie Islans scenario somehow?

I guess this is why you were saying you were 'busy' .

Plotinus you are a god

And I'm a goddess

 

[Kyriakos]

Elementary my dear Watson

 

[Deth McBones]

Wow, that's a big coat. And I see that he remembered to bring the revolver. I thought that was Watson's job?

 

[Grandraem]

As always you add a lot of character to your units, and the little animations (such as fidget) are well done and lifelike. Very nice!

 

[T-mun]

Wonderful cape animation, Plotinus! That part wasn't elementary I guess

 

[Virote_Considon]

Excellent once again! The Steampunk guys will be chuffed!

 

[Balthasar]

Egad! It's Holmes! Huzzah! Huzzah! Chuffed indeed! I am positively burbling with delight! Well done, good man! Well done!

Wow, that's a big coat. And I see that he remembered to bring the revolver. I thought that was Watson's job?

I could imagine an M-unit with this Holmes and Kinboat's Sherlock as Watson, but I'll be keeping them separate for now; they did do some things separately, you know... how else could Holmes fight Moriarty at the waterfall?

Edit: Not to be particular Plotinus, but can you make a version in which the cape and deerstalker aren't civ-colored? It's showing up terrible in-game, unless I change the Civ color (which is white for the hero civ) ....

 

[Moosezilla]

Wowsa!

 

[General 666]

GREAT ! Another gentleman produced for our game.
Now we need an London City Terrain.

 

[utahjazz7]

Love those animations—very expressive. And, the cape movements in the attack are amazing. Good work.

 

[Vuldacon]

Plotinus... That's an Outstanding Sherlock Holmes. Great animations with the Magnifying Glass and Pipe too Great Character

 

[Ares de Borg]

Great unit.

 

[CamJH]

Smashing!

Who needs the movie, I'll just watch this guy investigate the world around him in game.

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

This is one awesome unit!

 

[tom2050]

Looks terrific indeed! Nothing like Sherlock to bring back some great memories!

@Balthasar: You can use Flicster to make non-civ coloured version pretty easily. Any particular color you want him? I can do so for you if you wish and PM you it if Plotinus doesn't mind of course.

[Mithadan]

I really don't know what to say! I'm flabbergasted.

 

[Ozymandias]

10 out of 10. He's amazingly lifelike - fluid movements and the evoking of a real sense of character.
