The Barracks

[Aranor]

Welcome to the Barracks​

Here I will post units created by me and used in my civs. Mostly I work with ancient units. But from time to time I might post a modern unit or two. Currently I have a pack of 6 units ready for release from my Romanian, Baktrian, Thracian, Dorian Greece and Getai civs.

Aranor's units 1: pics

Spoiler :

The units included in this first pack are in order of appearance: Falxman ( Originally by Rabbit White, however I got this one working with the Samurai animations so I thought it deserved its own release), An ancient "Barbarian" spearman, An ancient "Barbarian" Noble horseman, Baktrioi Agemata, the Dorian or "classical" swordsman ( Kopis orginally created by Rabbit White), and the Thracian Pealtist.

As mush as I would love to take credit for all of these Rabbit White has helped a great deal with the "Barbarian" Spearman and Horseman .nif images and I skinned the bodies. Obviously the Falxman and the Kopis on the Dorian swordsman belong to him aswell. All animation files are inlcuded with this mod. As I create more units for Civs I will post them here aswell. Happy downloading!

Ancient Warrior: 13/04/07

Spoiler :

An ancient Swordsman model based on the Europa Barbarorum Taxies Triballoi.

Aranor's units 2: 14/04/07

Spoiler :

Ok here is the latest batch of units that I have made. They will be included in Wyz_sub10's next release of CivGold.

Aranor's Units 3: 16/04/07

Spoiler :

Here is the next lot of Units created for CivGold and released to share with all you cumstom unit lovers out there. The First chariot is an Indian chariot called a "Rathin" and will be used by the Vedic Civ in CivGold4. The second one is one of my personal favorites. It is a Blue Wolf warrior for the Buryat civ. And to the last line of units. The first is a Uyghar Clubman. He is based off the Horse archer model if you think he looks familiar. And the last unit is not from CivGold it is from my Seleukeia civ and is a Thorakitai Argyraspidai. Happy downloading!

Aranor's Units 4: Latest Update 06/05/2007

Spoiler :

This is the Batavian Alae from my batavian civ released last month.

This is a unit for CivGold4. For the Bolivar civ. It is based off of the French cavalry unit created by Chamaedrys.

This is another unit for CivGold4. It is a Jomon warrior but can be used as an Asian style Spearman in any mod.

Again another, and the last, unit for CivGold4. this is a Sami rune drummer. It was created as an explorer but uses the Warrior animations. it does have a slight problem with the animation in that the "drum" doesn't look right when fortified, and it cuts the body in half during the attack animations.

The first of my Galatian units for my upcoming Galatian civ. This is the Tindanotae, traditionally they fought completely naked., and drugged with something akin to PCP, allowing them to feel no pain or fear.

This is the second, and probably the one I will use, of my Galatian units. These men are the Galatian Kleruchoi, they served as elite mercenaries for all of the surrounding kingdoms, however the no one used them in as great numbers as the Egyptians.

Ok this is the Grivpanvar, a late stage Parthian Caterphract. Be warned if you do use this unit, it has 512 x 512 .dds files for both the horse and the rider.

I'm not in need of ancient units, but they are really great.

Thats the Falxman by Rabbit White. While I contributed alittle to that skin, its by far mostly his work. the only reason its here is because I re-did him to use the Samurai animations.

 

[Aranor]

New units added and more to come Check the first post!

 

[asioasioasio]

[Aranor]

From memory, a few people have wished there was a bit of variation in the present Roman units available for various scenarios. Maybe you can add some Roman units to your list for down the track.

Overall, bloody great work and good to see more units becoming available mate.

hmmmm never really tried to make Roman units before I generally stick to either Greek or Barbarian units. But at some point maybe I will look into them

 

[ww2commander]

I thought I would mention it on their behalf, even though my scenario is modern era.

New update. 5 NEW units from the CivGold 4 release. Unique units from the Olmecs, Khosian, Mande, Congo, and the Ainu. Credits must go out to the Warhammer FB mod guys for their fabulous work with the Nipponese units (where the Ainu unit came from). And again to Rabbit White for his excellent work with the African Units in his EDU mod, which the Congo and Khosian units are based from.

Great stuff Aranor. CIV Gold 4.0 is going to look really nice.

Yep. From what Wyz tells me you LH are coming out amazingly too. And with the 3 other units he's got me doing now ( to be released at a later date) Its going to look really sweet. The Indian unit in particular is going to be one of my favorite units for this entire bunch.

 

[Chamaedrys]

I like the Olmec guy.
