Shiro's Unit work thread

[Stormrage]

Wow! Those look fantastic! I love them!

 

[WildWeazel]

Shiro, any news on the SWAT police?

 

[ShiroKobbure]

um... the news isnt I havent worked on it haha ^ ^;;;

 

[WildWeazel]

Ok, well that's more than I knew before I guess...

 

[ShiroKobbure]

Im going to post a unit tonight, if anyone can guess what it is. Before I post it I will make their unit request.
Try to keep your guess in one post, so I dont have 100 pages of guesses.
only 2 guess per the person. You can change it before I post it.
If 2 people get the guess, they both have to agree on a unit

 

[Goldflash]

Its the Khmer Crossbowman

 

[W.i.n.t.e.r]

Sweeeet looks will it be a Thai spearman (with arm guards)? Could also be a Khmer swordsman.

 

[WildWeazel]

SWAT?

 

[Stormrage]

...... Is it my Orky boy?

 

[Iron Beagle]

Is it your Khmer swordsman?

 

[ShiroKobbure]

[Rambuchan]

That Khmer UU is shaping up very nicely indeed.

 

[7ronin]

Either the Ainu unit or the Chuzan Musha.

 

[Bungus]

Medieval asian infantry? Injun on a horse with a firestick? Triceratops with a shoulder mounted rocket launcher?

new unit

 

[Bungus]

Since you have the drive and the ability, perhaps you'd feel like tackling a Sioux Cavalryman? Your last mounted units were good, and a gun attack is pretty straight forward. I can find some pics. What do you say?

 

[ShiroKobbure]

sure post some

 

[Bungus]

Excellent!
Here's a rifle wielding cavalry-man. Basic idea.

Here's a better view. His costume is good, but knowing how you hate headdresses, I think you should make the unit without one.

Maybe something like this for his head: Just a few feathers. A huge headress is cumbersome and probably wouldn't be worn in battle anyway. This picture is my favorite, by the way.

And here's one last picture for good measure.


I'm just throwing this out there, but for a possible fortify animation you could have the horse rear up on its hind legs, turn sideways 90 degrees, and come back down on all fours. For the Attack, have the brave (turned sideways at the waist so he is facing his enemy) fire his rifle. The victory could just be the horse turning back around.
That would be the complicated way. You could just have him and his horse face his opponent, lean over a bit, and just fire like the regular cavalry. Whichever you want; its just a suggestion.

BTW, I'm pretty picky when it comes to graphics, but I really liked your Ethiopian horseman. The size and proportions are perfect, and the animation looks as good as Utah's cavalry units.

I gotta say, the Lakota (Sioux) Cavalry would be good. I'd need to insist it be a carbine, just like in Bungus's picture, fired with one hand while the is holding the horse.

Second the Lakota mounted brave....
