Unit Request- Cataphract

[Nder]

the bow attack by itself is mui impressive, but in conjuction with the other animations the run makes it look out of place. My impression was that Kinboat was concerned about the unit firing a bow as looking out of place, my feeling is that the actual bow attack will look fine with the other animations if the horse doesn't run. It will be much like the Crusader switching from spear to sword to spear.

 

[Kinboat]

I'll try a version without the running horse then... I actually think I'm going to rework this a little. Would it be better to have him carry the bow in the default/victory etc and then switch to the spear at the end of AttackA or leave those as is and just have him readying the bow in the fortify and switching to the spear at the end of AttackA?

 

[Nder]

how bout a version with the spear in the fortify since you have that done already and then one where he readies the bow in the fortify.

It would be cool if you had a version where he carries the bow in the default and run too, that way it could be used as a flavor unit for the mounted archer. But the easiest thing to do would probably be just make a new fortify where he readies the bow and then adjust the bow attack to remove the running horse aspect.

Not in the nearest future, too busy, too many problems.

I have the unit rough drafts lying about somewhere. So there is still hope.

 

[Nder]

Any chance you could post what you have so far and maybe others could take up where you left off?

who´s the work going Kinboat?

 

[Kinboat]

I'm still chugging along ever so slowly up the hill... I may have a few days off soon and be able to finish this up. Sorry about being so slow.

 

[Yoda Power]

its ok, so long I can still have it in the next version of the MEM

 

[Kinboat]

Well there is good news and then there is bad news... Now before you go assuming the worst I'll give you the good news. I've finished the animations Now the bad news... It'll take me a few more days to render everything and fix up all the files.

 

[hetairoi22]

I'll say this: The news could have been worse... Sounds good Kinboat!

 

[Grandraem]

I'm sure everyone is willing to wait a few more days. Your units are never a dissappointment, Kinboat.

I think thats good news
