Unit Request Thread 3

[Pleistocene]

Hallo again everybody here. I am sorry if I did something wrong with graphics in this request. It is a complicated forum system here with lots of functions and on-line tools, which I do not know. But I will not post other big graphics any more. Sorry.
Still, I'm glad if you liked the pictures.

It is the ornament and colour spectrum that is important in the East-Siberia units (they will do for the whole Siberia in combination with the colorless but powerful Mongolian units for the more westerly tribes).

Generally the Siberian units could be based on some of the already existing Amerindian units with removal of all feathers and totally clothed (the natives of Siberia did not use bird feathers for decorations and unlike American tribes they wore full fur-garments because of very cold climate - they could not afford running bare-skinned).

Reindeer and laika-dog sledges are very important...
Currently I use the Mongolian settler and worker by Plotinus for the Siberian tribes. They will do more or less with reasonable allowances, but alas, the graphic is typical steppe-like. Very drab and grey. South-East taiga tribes had beautiful multi-colour garments with LOTS of special ornaments shown above.
But how much better it would be if there were sledge-settlers to run swiftly along the tundra and snowy taiga!
Military units for High Arctic are non-existant at all.
For the Udege-Nanai tribes of the Eastern-South parts of Siberia the Ancient Japanese set will do pretty well. Except that there is no hunter. Other military units are quite ok, since there was an poorly known middle age Buddhist-Confucianist state of Bohai in the southern part of the Russian Far East and the units of Ancient Japan can look quite like those from Bohai. The today's Nanai and Udehe tribes - are all that remain from Bohai people after repeated Mongol-Zhurzhen invasions from the westerly steppes.

Thanks for the support!

No need to be sorry. The pictures were great. Ignore what I said. I certainly wasn't trying to discourage you from posting pictures.

Yes I like Mr. Pavlishin's art very much, too

Well. maybe some of the unit artists will get interested enough in those beautiful Siberian tribes that are almost unknown to the world, to make some units.

By the way, the tribes that lived near water in the South-East Siberia made cute garments out of scaled fish skins. I did the same for myself when I was a child - fish-skin gloves based on neolithic models from local museums ))

any chance with Eagle from Space1999 ?

If anybody gets into the whole making-Siberian-units thing, apparently the Evenks used to (and in some cases still do) ride reindeer -- they used a saddle that goes above the animal's shoulders, which opens up some really interesting possibilities for unique cavalry.

I could use the toy these kids are playing with.

Not sure what it is ,but the pics name is "TrainingwithDKZ"

Recoilless Rifle, I believe it is a 90mm

Yep that would be a really beautiful unit, especially given the fact that they ride the biggest and most big-antlered male-reindeer.
I just thought it would be too difficult to draw... And the unit itself is quite weak anyway. Riding a reindeer, even the strongest one, is not the same as riding a battle-horse. It can have a bonus of swiftly going through taiga\marsh\tundra terrain though.

and while at it any BSG Viper be it from the 70s or 2000s would be nice .

I loved Space: 1999 and would love to see an Eagle unit as well...

Requesting a palette transformation of the Holy Relic Civ3 Conquests unit into an Army unit. It only has 4 animations, which should make it easy. I'll probably try to do it if no one gets around to it, but it would be easier if someone else did.

wow , that is some nice frontal shot you have posted there , any chance to see the other views of the profile would have been also nice . ı know this is a unit request thread but ı really like the thing .

I have a request that should be easy and fast to do.

I want some generic units that can be used as "recruit".

The idea is to have them autoprocuded by buildings, then autoupgrade to your civilization flavour units (as king units to avoid having them buildable directly).

As the unit would be immobile, and be useless until upgraded, I basically need a one frame default animation. Perhaps a death but I'm not even sure.

I'd like something like a paperdol, with no detail clothing (just a vague civ coloured tunique can be enough for instance). Just one infantry, one cavalry can be sufficient, or if you are in the mood to make a mini series, it could be specialized a little with basic weapons
With "ancient or medieval cloths" (a simple tunique is enough)
- Swordsman
- Spearman
- Archer
- Crossbowman
- Cavalry + sword
- Cavalry + spear
- Cavalry + bow
with "renaissance / industrial" cloths (trousers + vest)
- Musketeer / Rifleman
- Cavalry
with "modern" cloths (kind of fatigue)
- Rifleman

Hmm, a very unusual request for monster hybrids that I don't think anyone will do, but might as well put it in.

A werewolf with the tail of a scorpion. (walks on two legs)
Or a wolf with a tail of a scorpion. (walks on four)

Not very picky.

Kind of like the monsters from Impossible Creatures?

Yeah, kind of.

 

[tom2050]

I might be able to do both from by modifying wolf units from AO with scorpion tails. I'm pretty sure it has a werewolf also.

That would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Time for me to pray someone is willing to put up with my extremely specific request here....

What I need is a guy with a sword. Okay, starting out simple enough. Either in a completely white, or a civ colored uniform, either works for me. Also with long blond hair (I'd say waist length, but I'm under the impression that would be harder to model accurately, so I'm fine with it just being long-ish).
Now for the most specific part. For his fortify animation, I'd need black intangible/made of darkness wings, looking like bat or demon wings, to come out of his back, and remain there for the attack animations.

 

[Wolfhart]

I think I will renew two unit requests I renewed one and a half year ago

I think I'll renew two unit requests I made about two years ago:

• I would like a modern Army unit, with mortars or howitzers firing as Attack1 animation to support the units loaded in the army. This animation plays whenever the Army is attacking and also when the Army is bombarding. This would simulate the Army's own fire support, like Corps, Division or Brigade artillery.
  
• I would like a fantasy Army unit, with a wizard/sorcerer/mage/druid/some other magic dude casting spells in support of the attacking units in the Army.

These don't have to be custom-made units; I would be quite happy with palette-modified existing units.

 

[Axolotl]

Anybody wanna make some Tlingit?

I might try myself, but that'll probably end in disaster.
