UNIT: Hussar

So how are you(pl) looking at using this unit? I'm using it as a Polish UU, replacing the Knight, with a +1 offense. That's technologically about right for the sword unit in the first post, but not quite culturally accurate. The lancer in Wyrmshadow's post actually existed somewhere between a knight and a cavalry unit so, while culturally correct for a Polish civ, it doesn't have a place as a clean regular unit replacement.

Any other ideas?

Exactly what I did, too. Which is what the Spanish Conquistador will be in PTW.
Wyrmshadow's hussar is pretty rad, only I think it tends to get "stuck" alot (meaning it stays selected even after it's finished moving/attacking, etc. I haven't playtested it enough to be certain though. Maybe it's something with the .amb files?





Oh, and Polish women are just gorgeous

 

[Mortifer]

Great so you are coming to Germany as a Polish in the US army.....
Im sure you wont have too much fun here hehehe.
Guys I really dont care that you are defending this dude. This isnt the right forum to post about races I know it. I could bring 50 peeps here to flame on Slavs like this Polish immigrant. Its just funny when a Polish is acting like this, if you know what I mean.

Oh and one more thing. If you wanna talk about this I can show you the right forum for this. Trust me Wyrmshadow you dont wanna see the various nationalist opinions about your race.

Sealman.......I dont know the source since I saw it like 2 years ago. It was a poll in the US. I absolutely dont care about the US, I just posted this, becase it was a poll about this topic.
What you think if we would make a poll like this in Germany, Austria, Hungary or some other countries, what will be the most disliked country? You bet that it will be Poland, Russia or something like this. I know it because I live here and Im a real German. I know what the people say here. You dont wanna hear what they are saying about Poland hehe. If I post it here I will be banned real fast.

Back to the topic. Dont use the name Hussar for your favourite winged horseman because its not worth for that name. [Even that they are saved Europe, Asia, Africa and America LOL ]
I just wanted to say this all the time, but it seems, that we have a situation now hehehe.

Hi!

Here some facts:
(founf at http://www.kuk-wehrmacht.de/regiment/husaren.html - in German)

The word "Hussar" come from the latin word "cursor" which meant "fast courier" .
On the Balkan this word transformed into "gusar" and "husar".
In the 14th centruy bandids on horses where named this way!

In the 16th centruy they became a good wepaong against the "Sipahis" of the Turks (light and fast riders)

In KuK Austria-Hungary the Hussaren were used for recon missions, courier missions, fast attacks on enemy trails..
In big battles they weren't used taht much, because they were to light armed, and their main advantage was there speed, which they couldn't use in an open-field battle

In addition the Hussaren often had to deal fast and without any orders from above - so they hussaren leaders had a lot of responsibility!

Mortifer- What you think if we would make a poll like this in Germany, Austria, Hungary or some other countries, what will be the most disliked country? You bet that it will be Poland, Russia or something like this. I know it because I live here and Im a real German. I know what the people say here.

Yeah, and we Americans know what people say here , And Im almost certain the most disliked nation would not be any Slavic one. In Europe, people complain far to much about race. A Slavic friend would complain about Jews, same with a polish one.(note: these examples are immigrants, and have been here for barely a decade)

Also, I know people who trust China more than Japan. So why would they trust Germany more than Poland? The Polish couldn’t do anything in WWII, but, if I recall right, a hand full of their Air force escaped and flew to England. And fought from there the rest of the war.

Mortifier, here's a 'friendly' tip, If i hear this:

hehehehe

maniacal nazi laughter again im gonna stick a jagged knife in my eye. Just stop that.

joespainel - I have tried to add sound to Jimmy's units without success.
Anyone got them running correctly?

The sounds? this might be your problem. In the Ini. File, under the sfx section put, (for an example I’ll use the run sound)

RUN=..\Knight\KnightRun.amb

The [ .. ] means to look in another folder (two flips back?) the [ \Knight ] specifies what folder. and the [ \Knightrun.amb ] is the name of the sound. so the attack would be: ATTACK1=..\Knight\KnightAttack.amb.
You see?

 

[pi8ch]

I just can'T see why Poland should be the most disliked nation...

In Austria it's defenitely not!


If there is a most-disliked slavic nation I suggest it would be Tchechia because of the "Benes Dekrete"...

I think there is no realy most-disliked country in Austria people's heads

 

[JBearIt]

I'm still having problem with the Hussar unit "disappearing" when it's not in motion. Any body have an idea for a solution?

Thanks

 

[PCHighway]

I checked The Hussar's Default Flic in Flicster. All angles were good. What Color is the civ your playing? Also I think I got mine out of Labmonkey's Unit Library. Maybe you should Re-Download it. I haven’t used in the game yet. (to many units, to little time) But you could change the Ini. So that the Default flic is the paladin or Horseman's Flic. It would look strange but, It would Definitely solve the problem. On second thought, I t might be his Idle, or fidget Animation? But I checked that out Also, And it’s clear. I would recommend Re-downloading it. Or have other people had this problem?

 

[Jimmyh]

Ok, I think I've fixed the problem with the Hussar's default not displaying. Download and try.

P.S: Go easy on each other, I'm sure poland is a very nice place.

 

[J C Woodman]

Hello, I have been using the Hussar unit for a couple o days as downloaded earlier on this thread, and have had no probs w/ it of any kind. I have quite a number o the little fella's running about in my scenario @ this time to good effect! Great looking unit Jimmy!

 

[Incubus0223]

hey Jimmyh do you have the sound files by any chance cuz if its that you cant make them work in civ3 i can do that if not i guess i could may start trying to get the sounds off of the program that reads all the AoK and AoE stuff just the files are named with numbers so it will be hard to tell what goes with what

 

[joespaniel]

PCHighway - Thanks. I figured that out after my last post, but havent tried it yet.

I'm still new at the Civ3 unit stuff, but I'm learning!

Like I said before, I've wanted this unit for a long time.
I will get it working!

 

[PCHighway]

JimmyH - Great job on the unit! Glad to see your back, and while im here, I'll congradulate you on the Aztec\Mayan units! Now I have a reason to play as the Aztecs!

Btw- is your site down?

Joespaniel - You could also copy the sounds you want, and put them in the Hussar folder. Then you wouldnt have to go through the ..\\ nonesense. Just remember to make sure the sounfd name in the ini. file, is the same as in the folder. At first, none of the units would work for me. Then one did, If The Sound file is messed up, it will crash the game, or at least mine. Any way good luck

Incubus0223 - I would not want to go through Mps and find those files. That doesnt sound like a good idea. besides, you could mess up and have him say 'Lonbuga' as a victory yell

I do know that some of the horse sounds are Resource #5339 and down? Ill check it out.

 

[Polaris]

Jimmyh, I think your Conquistador unit is suffering form the same problem with the Default .flc as the Hussar was.

On a side note, since this discussion has touched on several types of cavalry units in use in Europe at various times, can anyone elighten me about the pandours used by the Autro-Hungarians. I know they were in use in the mid eighteenth century, but are they contemporaneous with Polish Hussars? How are they classified, light, heavy?

 

[CurtSibling]

I know this is old news, but it infuriated me!
Mortifer, You disgrace Germany with your sordid views...be silent!

Hahahaha ok you posted those pictures and I dont know why. We all know that you had winged horsemen but who cares? Dude I just said that dont use the name 'Hussar' because it isnt polish heh. Second note. I dont think that any peeps cares about polish armies expect you and some US guys with polish origins. Sighs. If there is a polish army in the game like the winged horsemen its totally ok. I dont care if I see a polish army type in a game or not. I never cared about 'nations' like yours hehe.
Polish history is nothing compared to some European countries'.

Third note. US guys........ I posted that the major part of the Europeans dont like the Slavs...... right? Just let you know US people that I saw some public opinion polls from the US, that 'What foreign nation you dislike?' The question was something else but it was almost like this. So guess which nation was the 'winner' as the poll? The most disliked nation was Poland in the US! Now guess whats going on in Germany or in other European nations.. This isnt for Poland only, the majority of the people dont like the Slavs at all not just the Polish people. Again this isnt Racism from me, its a FACT.

Funny that people from the US posting in an 'EU' topic heh.

 

[joespaniel]

I dont think he is around anymore Curt.

The little twit was obviously using an alternate ID to post in this thread anyway.
I hope the moderators found out who he really was and banned him.

I was going to reply, but his posts were so stupid and pathetic I didnt bother.

I agree, my good man!

 

[Ossric]

I have the same problem. The unit disappears when standing still. I'm gonna try Jimmyh's attachment & hopefully it works. Otherwise their is no point of using this beautifull unit.

 

[Colonel Kraken]

All I did to fix the default flic problem (and I think this was mentioned elsewhere) is change the default to use the fidget flic. It looks perfectly normal in-game.

By the way, what an AWESOME looking unit! Very cool.

Well, to the Polish people around here. Don't go to Germany, you might encounter Mortifier in person. Come to France, we are not THAT racist and you will be welcome.
Anyway the situation in Germany at the moment is probably worst than in most part of Poland !!

Remember 8th May 1945, for it can happen again.

Oh! If it's in the newspaper it MUST be true. And what do you do when you read another newspaper that doesn't see it the same way? You change your mind? Well, I don't think so, it would require you to have one...

... zip all the other boring and ridiculous stuff...

Am I the only one to fill very uncomfortable with all the s*** (sorry, I can't find another word) that Mortifer can post? Personnally, I think it deserve a permanent ban from this forum.
The pollution generated will be hard to clean with simple workers. Perhaps a Mortifer recycling center?
