Unit Request: Early Chariot

[Mithadan]

It's been a month, let's bump this feller.

 

[The Last Conformist]

Half the posts in this thread are bumps ... including this one.

Someone please make this one!

 

[Louis XXIV]

I wish someone would make this, but, since no one has said anything by now, I'm begining to think it might be a lost cause.

If someone could make the Chariot with 4 Wheels, I think the rest can be a simple cut and paste. All you have to do is take the regular Civ3 Chariot driver, and replace his long Spear with a Javelin.

 

[Louis XXIV]

If I can get someone to make the Chariot, would anyone be interested in adding the driver? (Basically modify the Civ3 Chariot driver so he throws a Javelin, instead of stabbing with an extra long spear). Then I'll see if I can get someone to make some Donkeys.

 

[Mithadan]

Ooh, that would be cool. I think that's sort of how the Celts used chariots, no? Zipping by the front lines of the enemy and hucking javelins and insults at them. That would make for some cool sounds, too. Hmmm. Course Celts didn't use donkeys.

Maybe one with donkeys and one without. Dang I wish there were more chariots about.

Not like I know anything about unit creation, but wouldn't it be rather difficult to cut and paste a javelin throwing animation onto the Vanilla charioteer? Seems to me it'd be easier if they had a model of chariot to fiddle with, instead of rendered frames or whatever the flc is.

Hmmm.

(long pause)

Hmmmm. Not many folk making chariots out there. Hmmm.

 

[Louis XXIV]

LouLong is planning to make a Celtic Chariot. No one is planning to make a Mycenaean Chariot. And I'm planning on nagging everyone until someone makes this Chariot.

I don't know how hard it is to change a stabbing motion of a spear into a throwing motion of a javelin, but it has been accomplished before (Like Kryten's Peltast). I don't know if I can get someone to make a Donkey, but I'm going to try to get someone (a Llama has been made before, why not a Donkey?).

 

[Mithadan]

I'm glad to hear the good news about the Celtic Chariot.

Good call on the Peltast.

I wonder if they'll be able to put another set of wheels on the donkey chariot? I thought those things had four wheels, but maybe I'm mistaken...

 

[Louis XXIV]

The Chariot will have 4 Wheels. I have to see if I can get someone to make the Chariot, though.

 

[Louis XXIV]

Here's a rough idea of how the Chariot would look (if I get somebody to make it). Ignore the Horse, but the Driver is fine (I even shortened his Spear).

 

[civilleader]

I could also use on of those chariots. Nice!

 

[Mithadan]

I like the four wheel look. Would you expect somebody riding in the back hucking spears or something?

 

[The Last Conformist]

If someone did this, we'd finally have a sensible UU for Sumeria. A Chariot that does not require Horses.

 

[Mithadan]

I agree entirely.

I get the feeling that chariots are just not one of those types of units folk like to make. Dang!

Something like that. I'm not sure if I should have one guy holding the reigns and the other throwing Javelins, or just have one guy do both.

I agree entirely.

I'm getting the feeling my unit requests are types of units people don't like making

Hello,

how about this one?

 

[Larper]

sry, double post

 

[Larper]

next one

 

[Louis XXIV]

All great pictures of exactly what I want.

Again, is anyone interested in making it?

 

[Mithadan]

Would anybody consider making it if it were used as a "Wainrider" in the Lord of the Mods? Yeah baby yeah!

 

[Louis XXIV]

I think this unit would work well as the Sumerian Chariot, so, unless someone wants to make a hand-made version, I consider this request complete
