Undead Unit Pack

Master of Mana has its own website at www.masterofmana.com. Unfortunately, to my knowledge you will have to download the entire mod to get to the art.
I have about 1,000 units lined up and these are on the list. If you want these stat, let me know and I will bump them up in the queue...

I'm afraid you'll have to download the mod itself. I looked a bit in the forums but couldn't find the art-only files of the aristrakh. sorry.

Good news everybody! Despite my lack of production lately, I've managed to get the unarmed Skeleton done tonight! He isn't uploaded yet though - I'll do an archer as per PawelS's needs and maybe a sword/spearman... then upload all in a big pack.
Other unit modders may be interested to know that the Iroquoian Mohawk Warrior (u_iroquoian_mohawkwarrior) has very good-looking animations on weaponless units - previously I had thought that only the Aztec Jaguar was halfway decent. But the Jaguar always makes these wide, slow, sweeping strokes that when done with an empty fist always make me cringe at the ineffectiveness of the attack (just from real life observations - I have gotten in a few fights over the last couple of months and NOBODY makes punches like that). The Mohawk Warrior, on the other hand, makes either a hard fast uppercut (attackb) or a fast right hook to the ribs of a humanoid adversary (attacka).
I'm planning to turn this thread into an Undead unit pack, so I will redo Deliverator's Zombie with Mohawk Warrior animations and upload it here.

More good news! The skeleton archer is finished, I will upload him tonight when I finally get home around 20h00 here (so about 3 in the afternoon in North America).

And now the really good news - the first two new units are released! Summoning the Skeleton!
And the Skeleton Archer!
Next in line are the Skeleton Spearman, Skeleton Swordsman, and a new Zombie!
If anyone has requests for a certain undead unit, feel free to ask!

Thanks SepticStreets!
It appears that Master of Mana has some cool undead units - while I'm still hunting for a good skeleton horse, I have all of the stuff I need for a set of two or three vampire knights!

I'm pretty positive you can find a undead horse in Warcraft3 and WoW.
Don't have to tell Blizzard, though.

The problem with that is Civ5's lack of alpha transparency - so if the horse's stomach, for example, is a big transparent area on the texture, in Civ5 it will be a huge black patch. That's the trouble with the WoW horse shown a few posts back.

Oh, I see. *stupidme*
So, having no clue about modelling, couldn't you 'simply' put some skin over the area?
Like it's done here: http://static-2.nexusmods.com/15/mods/110/images/376-1-1321486165.jpg ?

What is alpha transparency? Is this mean part of the model become invisible when set the alpha texture to black? I reameber that Civ4 support this, no idea about Civ5.

@SepticStreets: Since all the "skeletal" steeds appear to be reskins of normal horses with transparency, I could do that, but doing so would make it no longer skeletal, more like a zombie horse if you see what I mean.
@zwei833: Alpha transparency is when part of the texture is transparent, it goes to alpha color. In Civ4 you can make a transparent part of a unit model, but in Civ5 the transparent parts are filled with black on units (but not on improvements for some reason).

Thank you for the Skeleton Archer! The unarmed Skeleton looks good, I think I'll use it as well
The only undead unit I need for now is a Reaper (or "Death himself" as you called it) - a scary looking individual with a scythe. I need it as a high level unit for the Undead civ. I don't know if such unit was made for Civ4.

@Civitar: of course I know what you mean.
But, to be honest, it wouldn't crash my suspension of disbelief seeing skeletons on zombie horses.

@PawelS: I was hoping you'd see the Skeleton Archer, as you've mentioned a few times you needed one.
As it happens, "Death himself" was made for Civ4 in not one but three versions! All are a sort of skeleton in black robes and hood plus a scythe. There were also two alternate versions with a horse or an hourglass (I don't like the hourglass though). I'll convert him then, once I get over my jaw currently sitting on the ground at the kind of units Master of Mana has...
@SepticStreets: I guess I'm just too picky...
