UNIT Preview: Spanish Conquistador

[Wombat_Hair]

Really good job Thomson!
I especially like the dog.
Of course, the close of the dog reminds me of a German Shepard.

I will have to use this unit when creating doing a European Colonization scenario.

thanks wombat!

Am now starting work on the Attack flc. Im gonna have the conquistador fire a pistol with his right hand so he can still hold the lance/spear in his other. Im gonna try and make the dog bite also but ill have to hand draw that

 

[thomson_2001]

the attack flc is taking a while just to plan out.Will start the flc as soon as planing is done.

This looks really cool... I love the idea of having a dog run along the side.

 

[thomson_2001]

im basing it directly on the new Conquistador unit that will be in the expansion pack PTW. Thanks for the support kinboat!

Don't worry about Jimmyh outdoing your Conquistador. If I remember correctly, the one from AoK had a musket. I'm sure people would rather want your version. Besides, the horses from AoK don't look right in Civ3 (although I wish he'd rip the other Spanish UU from AoK so we could have a mule to fool around with).

I love this unit, I only wish I had a way to use it in my GT mod

Hmmm, a mule unit might be dangerous.

Yes, thomson, I like the lance also better than the musket!

Once you're finished with your unit I'll use it for my modpack (if you allow me to do so )!

I'd love to have a mule unit. That way I would be able to cut and paste the PTW Guerilla onto it. Gotta love Guerillas on mules. Che used them!

 

[thomson_2001]

Wow Thamks for the support guys! It really makes it worthwhile to know there are genuine guys out there who support fellow "civvers". Cheers

Ok have started on the attack FLC. Need your opinions on the weapon though. The spear will be in the right hand and at the moment the left will shoot a pistol.Any ideas? should the unit attack with the spear instead like the horeman ....i personally think that the pistol is cool as accurate...i think! Having problems making the pistol stand out though....hmmm

I think Friaxis said the one they have has multiple attacks with a gun, the spear, and the dog.

 

[thomson_2001]

hmmm....thats an idea. At the moment I was gonna make him shoot the gun and have the dog bite at the same time.Would take a long time for me to do all 3 so I might just do gun+dog or spear+dog.

Don't forget the all-important fourth attack, spit!

Hey, my other units can spit, why don't they get an extra attack?

 

[thomson_2001]

What? I don't spit. That's strictly a Spanish thing.

At least I don't eat haggis.....

 

[thomson_2001]
