Unit Request Thread

[Nefliqus]

@Nelfiqus: Is it a complete Civ5 unit? If so, better create a new thread for it and add it to the download database...

It was just a request. I have transferred this units but only with one animation.

Hey guys,
since I'm working on a reconquista mod with a portuguese civ, I wanted to ask if someone can try to put a portuguese skin on the Knight model. Something like this:

If there's the cross of the Order of Aviz (image above, green cross on white bg) on the shield, I'd be able to make a special unit "Knight of St. Benedict of Aviz". Anyone interested?

 

[Nutty]

Anyone interested?

With the work I've already done on the knights, that should be (relatively) easy. I should have some time this weekend.

Thanks, I'll be waiting!

EDIT: Oh right, I guess the textures on the torso might also bear a green cross, thought I didn't find any relating pictures to prove it... Otherwise I'd say you'll use a simple blue cross like below. Just try it out and take the one that looks better in your opinion.

any horse unit with civ5 skeleton and civ5 animation in blender format

Thanks, I'll be waiting!

Here's what I slapped together yesterday. I still need to at least do some clean-up, but do you have any suggestions?

I had totally forgot that I'd been working on a Russian knight, where I'd already made a bit of facial armor for the horse:

(I really liked the caparison from this miniature, so I stole the texture from here)

Seconded. ;-)

That's a great Christmas present... Looks great so far! What's still left for clean-up? Did you leave out some of the Knights in the unit graphic for contrast? Would you be interested in making other models like the Almogavar for the Kingdom of Aragon in the future?

Requesting a Pikeman reskin:

Swiss Mercenary to look like the top right below:

I would prefer the metal armor on look (the default pikeman) but with the addition of the Red plume if possible.

Thanks!

Requesting a Pikeman reskin:

I did a reskin, but you're right that it needs the plume.

1. Swiss Guard pikeman BETA (retexture) - Retex of the vanilla pikeman unit. When I discovered a few relatively hi-res TGAs of unit textures in the CiV art resources, including the Pikeman and the Arcabucero, I got the crazy idea for a Swiss Guard unit. I want to swap out the helmet for a conquistador's, but until I figure out why I can't get Blender to work right, I'm not going to try tackling that. But I put this together anyway as a starting point. (SEE ATTACHMENT)

I can send you what I have, if you like.

I'd love that. Thank you for your lovely work!

If someone could make or convert a Cataphract unit, I would like to add that as the UU to Rome to replace the Scorpion, so that as my Roman empire advances to the medieval age it begins to reflect it's transformation into the Byzantine Empire.

 

[Sneaks]

Hmm, that's probably just a chain mail reskin for the knight. Might be easily doable

 

[Nutty]

And from a couple of my threads:

i think the greek knight should be replaced by the cataprach

A true Roman knight would probably be along the lines of a Cataphract anyway, IMO...

Everyone wants a cataphract, it seems.

Sneaks, it would need more than just a reskin... it's the helmet. I could throw chainmail all over everything, but a crusader helm is still going to be a cylinder on top of its head. I don't think any of the unique units will work to reskin, either.

Someone's probably going to need to convert something from Civ4, and I don't think anyone's done a mounted unit yet for CiV.

 

[Nutty]

I'd love that. Thank you for your lovely work!

Hey, Sneaks. I'm sorry I didn't post this earlier. I've been sick and braindead.

Same to you vivastpauli. I didn't even see this reply. The other knight in the pic is a vanilla one that I'm just using for contrast. I think it makes the unit more interesting. I was going to fix up the gold edge on the reins and the shield, but I was waiting to see if you wanted to play with it all, e.g., put the green cross on the tunic, what-have-you.

 

[Sneaks]

Nutty, just a question: would the head feather for the Swiss Guard need its own bone, or could it just be attached to the head bone?

Not sure, but I don't see why it'd be necessary. I'm not really a 3D modeler, but since I've used the vanilla pikeman to do this reskin, it can't really be edited as-is. Maybe after danrell's spearmen are released, I can try my hand at blender again.

Hi, can you create the "Almogavars"?
This unit replaces the swordman and have a bonus attacking. Thanks

 

[eldarlmari]

can some1 create some modern units? i dont see many of them ard here. like jet fighters like the american f-22 raptor, chinese j-20 black eagle, etc

The game ships with the American F-22. Check your unit viewer, or upgrade a fighter to a jet fighter in your next game.

Are there any dog or wolf units out there? If not could someone please make one... preferably a rat terrier
