Unit Request Thread

[King William I]

I'd like to request a Monaco Palace Guard Unit

With a hat like that, a reskinned redcoat could work.
I might look into that for you.

A couple requests. Most are for conversions of models from Civ IV, so shouldn't be too hard.
From the base game I need a conversion of the Numidian Cavalry.
From custom models, I need the Humvee from here, and the armoured car from here. On the latter, if the Italian coloured could be removed, that would be awesome.

The last thing I need is more complicated. I need a mounted crossbowman unit, and as far as I can see, no such thing has been created for any edition of civ. Would it be possible to do this by simply stitching the crossbowman body onto the knight's horse, or is it more complicated?

@DoctorMcGann: A couple of the ones I missed pointing out from your earlier request might fill in for your Humvee and armored car: Soviet APC: BTR-152, Polish Armored Car: Ford FTB

As for your mounted crossbowman, the hard part would be combining the animations.

 

[DoctorMcGann]

That Polish car should work nicely, but the Soviet truck is a bit too outdated for my needs. Thanks!

I know it would be tough to make, but I would like to second the request for a mounted crossbowman!

I'd like to second this request. It'd be perfect for another UU for Carthage for the 3UC project.

I'd like to request mages for World of Asmos
I know there's a couple wizards out right now, but... eh, I just think they could look cooler without the beards and staffs, casting magic straight from their hands. And then I can do the reskinning of the robe for different colors. But I couldn't find any non-wizardy magical units.

Right now, I'm considering the Gandalf-style wizard because of its special combat animations.

This is the fire sage icon, just so you get the idea:

TIA,

There is a mounted crossbowman unit available for Civ4 here, the correct animation set can be downloaded here.

But I do not know how well the animation can be converted to Civ5.

 

[Belzhorash]

I always wonder how one would bend a crossbow while on a horse.
That being said, we could need a model for a unit that is
A) mounted with a crossbow and
B) uses a siege/ready mission to dismount and be ready to fire.

If we wanted to be historical adequat.

Thanks! I really need to get Blender's nif importing to work properly so I can do conversions.

Don't you just use Nifskope to export to obj and then import that to blender instead of the nif itself?

 

[DoctorMcGann]

That's not what the tutorial said, but I'll try that...

 

[IntelPlus]

Hello. I am looking for modern models:

Russian Ka-50 Helicopter Gunship

or Ka-52:

Also Apache Longbow:

Su-35 bomber:

 

[IntelPlus]

Is there also any modern units skins pack?

 

[Nutty]

@IntelPlus: What kind of a "pack" are you looking for? I assume you mean something more modern than danrell's WWII packs? Note that the download database is categorized by era: Civ5 - modern era units (modern there denoting 20th Century and beyond)

 

[Hypereon]

I'm requesting a McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet jet fighter if someone is interested.

Here's a link:

And if someone would like to make a catholic bishop/pope unit, that would be awesome!

One already exists!

Note there's one for Civ4 Colonization that could be converted...

 

[nokmirt]

If one of you guys gets time, could you make a modern cavalry unit? Like the Polish cavalry in WWII. Something like this...

Whoops, I somehow haven't noticed that... Thanks though!
