Subdued Animals in C2C discussions

[Hydromancerx]

The babirusa mesh seems to be acting up again (build 7873).

Ok I tried to fix the Babirusa again. Let me know if you find any more graphics glitches for it or any of the other animals.

Thanks!

Seems to me that it would be a slow down because it has to look for this so many times and each time also, because it is modular and not core??

It loads it all at start and stores it somewhere so the only slow down should be in loading.

I updated with a new version. Let me know if it fixes it now.

Thanks the Glyptodon looks ok now.

The Maned Wolf is still causing me a CTD

Hmm, I don't know. I looked though the file for more Skin Partitions (which cause the stretching), but I cannot find any.

So I was thinking about the Trained Animals. And I think Bronze Working (X29) unlocks too many things. Could we move all the Trained Animals to Veterinary Medicine (x31) tech instead? They are not to far off from each other and it would give Veterinary Medicine tech a bigger draw to research it. Currently all it unlocks in the Ancient Veterinarian building.

EDIT: The Beastmater units too might be good to move there as well.

The Beastmaster units are the trained animals.

How do they work? Cuase I see 2 Beastmaster units and lots of Tamed Animal units.

 

[Dancing Hoskuld]

The Beatsmaster is the one holding the whip on the tamed animal. It is added to the animal unit as a leader giving the unit you see.

Oh I must have that setting off or something. All I see is the animal unit.

If it can't be fixed it should be removed.

If you have single unit option on you wont see them.

That's ok. I think I can find another model. Just not as good as the one we have now.

I always play with single unit option. So what am I missing besides extra graphics usage?

Maned Wolf was added back in. Now with a brand new model.

Let me know if anyone gets CTD or stretchy splines. This model uses the on the ZT2 African Wild Dog and a new skin. I have had less trouble with re-skinned ZT2 models (as opposed to custom made models).

There is a human with a whip herding the animals. See images here, in the spoiler. It uses the leader animations so you are probably not seeing them either.

 

[JosEPh_II]

Probably wouldn't have noticed anyway as I rarely use Animal units as Mil units. The AI likes to use them though.

Heh. Tell me about it - I seized a city in the late Classical era from Charles V and he sent over twenty rhinos, elephants and boars against me in one turn in an effort to retake their city.

 

[JosEPh_II]

And if he had instead produced at least archer units he would've had a better chance at it.

The AI over values these Mil animal units. Perhaps the AI weighting for them needs reduced? Or these animal units need better promos to start? (although I feel there are still too many Promotions available in the mod, just mpo.)
