Can he pull the bow string back further?

Only if he gets a bigger arrow

I tried making a horse archer unit ages ago but I gave up on it, the problem is that the bow needs to be straighter before he strings an arrow. At the moment the bow string is too tight and the bow itself does not flex.

I don't use poser so I don't know how possible this will be.

With the prop I am currently using, I don't think that's at all likely, but I'll look into it. It has a "pull-string" morph but that does not flex the bow nearly as much as your graphical example. I might be able to exaggerate the flex by scaling down the Y values when i pull it back. I'll look into that when I get back to him tonight

Any news ?

 

[Risbinroch]

Wow, I remember looking at this thread a time ago, had completly forgotton about it - this will be fantastic, every civ should have flavor units for every unit available....

But this look absolutely great, hope it will be done...

how about you use the archer with no pants as a replacement for the "archer" unit, and the archer with pants as a replacement for the "longbowman" unit? The pants could be part of the technological advancement .

 

[pdescobar]

I haven't forgotten it; it will get done, but other things have taken priority recently.

Good idea! We could add "pants", "mini skirt", "wonderbra" or "silk stockings" in the tech tree.
Actually, it had some impact on history.
Look at the French revolution, were revolutionner called themselves "sans culotte", because they were pants, when the nobles didn't.
Or the US army offering stockings to French women, chocolate to kids, when they free the country : it had a good impact on the morale of French, and helped a lot for the welcome of US troops.

Steph, that's actually an idea for a WW2 scenario, having stockings as a luxury!

... Actually, it'd just be silk. Pre-nylon, women's stockings were made of silk, which all got diverted to parachute production --

-- Hmmm ... which means silk should be a required resource for pre-synthetic-fiber parachute units ...

That's the case in Steph's mod . Silk is a ressource needed for paratrooper.

BTW, you are right, I should have said nylon stockings, not silk.

As some wise man once said -- "Great minds think alike -- and so do we!"

Looking Forward To Your Mod,

The unit was looking great mr. escobar,... dont mean to bug ya,
but is there any chance it'll get finnished relatively soon?

 

[pdescobar]

That all depends on your definition of relatively soon It's still on the horizon, and Kal-El makes sure to mention it every so often to keep it on my mind, but I can't give any kind of estimate.

 

[gael]

That looks class pdescobar, I did'nt know you made units.
