Tom's Unit Factory

[Balthasar]

That sandworm design comes from that awful Lynch version of Dune. I was given a book once on the making of that movie that described the awful time the creators of it had not to make it look too...err, phallic. Interesting conversion, Tom.

 

[Supa]

Great unit, Tom! From where did you convert it from ? Emperor: Battle from Dune ?
Sand SFX is truly wonderful.

KA, I hope you'll resume your scenario. Your ideas were very good. Are you still planning to use the multiple planets concept ?

 

[KingArthur]

@supa- that's an old screenshot but yes the map has surrounding planets for the Emperor, the Bene Gesserit, Harkonnen and Tleilaxu

So many animal units! These would have been invaluable when I was working on the Great Zoo... Still many will find their way into the MZ series, if nothing else as barbs. Of course, the most devastatingly powerful unit will have to be the Chipmunk Of Annihilation...

That Sandworm is awesome by the way. I would love to see the Dune Mod resurrected. Loved that series when I was younger, and had plenty of ideas for that Mod when I first read about it so many years ago. Could potentially be used for a Tremors mod or even Star Wars mod (the reissue had something similar for those desert pit beasts). Would be great for a stationary defensive creature.

The whale rocks too.

@KA : Great!

Haha! I just watched that movie like a month ago! Yes, fits there too...

A Dune unit? Amazing! (In my best Dr. Zoidberg) Always with the surprises!

 

[Takhisis]

You've made me remember that I still have to win my Ordos campaign from a couple yers ago -I left it unconcluded once I got a new copy of civ3 (old one had sadly died). Must… resist…

I've just noticed that the Victory animation, the sand lump is brighter than the sand lump in all other FLC's. I'll re-render it to try to fix it. Not sure why it's like that though, I don't remember changing anything.

Cool Sandworm Tom... Also was in the movie Beetlejuice, which is one of my Favorite Movies

Sandworm download in Post 1277 and in Download Database updated to include excellent recolor by Vuldacon! Redownload the file to get both versions. Thank You Vuldacon!

 

[Manny Kant]

Tom, thank you very much. Very happy to be able to plug this in and get a couple of die-hard Dune fans back into playing.
And thank you, Vuldacon.

Would you be interested in converting any of the following Civ 4 fantasy units, Tom?

Paladin

2 Vampire Lords

Seraph

Elven Enchantress

[Grandraem]

PALADIN looks nice! And Vampire Lords. Only if you have time, of course. And of course all your work is much appreciated!

 

[Goldflash]

Yeah, a lot of people around here knock Civ 4 and it's modding community but they make wonderful awesome things. Sure the models are low poly, but so what? Won't be able to tell at Civ3 scale.

Beetlejuice still has very, very fond memories for me also, and is the same thing I thought of when I saw the unit!

Demon (unit conversion) (requested by bigdog5994)

Civ Colours have been added. Modifications of the texture have been made to the original unit; Sword added by tom2050.

... and use Vuldacon's excellent improvements Demon.zip! The Improvements he has made are shown here.

Download here... DemonBD.rar

Unit32, Large/Small pcx, and Sound Files included. Is an Atlantica Online unit.

Any chance of you doing a spear and shield version of this guy at some point, Tom? Then you'd have nice demon attacker, defender and ranged (fireball guy) units.

Looks like the existing animation can be used to make a spear with minor alterations needed. So shouldn't take much time. Will add to list to-do.

Fantastic! Thank you, Tom! All the units you do are greatly appreciated. My newly reformulated fantasy mod is full of your units.

The Demon with the sword is IMO one of your absolute best. The red colour is perfect and the animations are great! Can't wait to see him with a spear.

I've been trying to get around to doing the same, but never find a good way to do it. To many units I want the use for the same race.
