The Flavour Mod, 'Fun-to-Make' Unit Requests

[mrkingkong]

Hey there, here are some units i need for my soon-arriving Flavour Mod.
They are unusual requests as the mod will be a tongue-in-cheek fantasy epic, and therefore a few tongue in cheek type units are needed!

Any one who would like to have a go at these units are welcome, but i must insist that they have a sense of humour. Thanks

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the IOU (Intellectual Orangutan Union):

A host of monkey units, including

Chimp Labour (a monkey workforce to build tree houses,banana ranches,etc)
Banana Seeker (a monkey scout)
Vine Archers (chimp archers who fire bananas from vine bows)
Death-Swingers (the monkey fast attack option)
Dominant Male (a singular Captain type Orangutan)
Big Swing Hou-Ahah (the leader of the IOU, a big vicious Gorilla)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the Empire of Mauve:

Protectors of the fanatical Mauveian peoples, all of whom fancy themselves as having an arty side, including

Woad Warriors (fanatical blue-faced swordsmen)
Blue Axes (axemen whove perfected lumberjack-ism to an art form)
Skye Cavalry (horsemen who glide like paintbrushes towards their foes)
Mauve Fanatic (think Beserker from LOTR,but human- is a Mauveian Captain)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the Warlock's Confederation:

Enthusiastic yet eccentric magical users/creatures, often clumsy, judged by the amount of bangs and smoke produced, rather than actual talent, including

Enchanted Boulders (groups of, well, magically-motivated boulders)
Nightmare Pixies (tiny people with pointy faces and knifes, plus bright clothin)
Feline Warriors (cat people, persuaded by wizards to walk on their hinds)
Aspring Warlock (younger, even more clumsy and mental wizards)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That is all for now, but if you fancy making a unit that is not here but you think might be included in the Civ List below, you are more than welcome. And if you can think of any units not yet thought-up for the above civs, feel free to make them aswell! In fact, anything you make will be appreciated!

Thanks, and i hope to release the Flavour Mod soon (with your help)

I'd love to play this!

I have very limited skills, xml I can do without burning the house down, and reskinning I actually have some talent with, but we won't talk about the 'warrior in a cocktail dress' mishap when I began.

python and sdk, well my last attempt cost me 1500 dollars and I had to repair the bird bath. I understand the ideas behind adding new weapons with nif viewer, but so far all of my attempts have been frustrated by little things like not really knowing what I'm doing.

but otherwise anything I can do to help. playing a mod which doesn't take itself so seriously would be great!

Nice to see some interest!

Well, anything you can do graphically would be a great help! And obviously at this stage the more ideas the better!

I'll make a thread soon with all my plans (so far)

EDIT: I suspect that some of the above units, especially Mauve ones and the units from Arlee (basically, a race of humans that are a little confused and name everything backwards. 'A bit loopy' would be the best description) could be made simply by reskinning. And if you can add bits and bobs, so much the better!

If you fancy having a bash at some of these then please feel free!

Nightmare Pixies (tiny people with pointy faces and knifes, plus bright clothin)

I remember those from Diablo. Very, very annoying.

I'd love to try the apes, but I'm so far from being able to make one it's scary. The whole unit collection sounds cool and I hope it gets completed.
