you've got a slight problem with magenta pixels around the heads. Other than that a great Mmammoth unit. Perhaps a you could also make a Munit with Plotinus' Ancient mammoth rider leading the group (others riderless)?

 

[Ozymandias]

Excellent My immediate thought was to have them very early on as Barb Princess units to be captured etc. Do you do bison as well?

Best,

z

 

[Balthasar]

AFAIK, Wotan only does multi-units, so if you want bison, you have to first have a bison unit for him to work with. If you have a Bison unit, I'd like to have it myself for a future Old West mod that I'm keeping in a drawer until this mod is completed.

AO has a Bison I can do... Wotan49 is free to make a MUnit of them.



EDIT: Barsoomian 4-Armed White Ape has been posted.

If his sash were sufficiently wide enough, you keep the belt, and leave a codpiece, the area that you'd have to recolor of the tunic would be only the area beneath one arm and a little of his stomach and a bit at the top of the legs. Add a Sword sheath on a strap that comes across from the opposite shoulder to his left hip and a holster on the other hip, and I'd bet you'd never see the tunic changes at civ scale.

That's a helluva good idea. At civ scale, it won't be noticable anyways, and the sash enlarged would make it so only the side portion would be re-textured to skin (as you said). The sash can be civ colored then.

here is my attackA preview...



Im now working on the victory anim....
sorry its taking so long, school started about 3 weeks ago so im pretty busy...

 

[Blue Monkey]

Polyphemus, you're making a unit that captures the flavor of both steampunk & the alien!

It looks good - other than the magenta pixels issue already noted - but would that really be viable as a game unit? It would spill over onto several tiles.

 

[polyphemus]

Hmm so I was thinking....keep the green smoke or go for a reddish orange one?

 

[Balthasar]

I like the green "radium" smoke. It will look good against the red martian background.

 

[Takhisis]

I think that that particular shade of green isn't the exact right one. Maybe one that is, um… slightly darker/greyer?
(X-post with Balthasar)

 

[Wotan49]

Plotinus is right to spread the unity Babar about five to six fields?
Annex a picture from a game!
Since the color deserter would that bother me!



for a unit are approximately 8MB of data!
New unit Mammoth4.zip on Step Unit as Bmp!

I...guess...three! They all look equally good to me, but I want a chance to win...

What the hell happened to my german set?

Okay, it works quite well with the leather strap (No! It's not an Ammo Belt John Carter turned Rambo). And Rambo does almost look like the guy below (if he wore some camo and had a big gun in each hand)


I still have to add sword sheath and weapon holster to right and left side, but the re-textured cloth it is completely unnoticable at civ scale, and even hard to notice up-close. Seems John doesn't wear 'sandal boots', so I gave him regular boots.

There is still an artifact (war wound?) under his shoulder I need to get rid of.

 

[Balthasar]

If I didn't know that it had been re-textured, I'd never guess it. It will be even less relevant at Civ scale. Great job! I can't wait to see him armed.

Not that I mind, but does he have to wear shoes at all?

I can re-texture the boots off; also the leather strap doesn't have to be on. I initially had it not there (and still have the texture file with it off), so that is up to you also.

 

[Blue Monkey]

Although there are exceptions most of the pictures I've seen have him in Roman-style sandals. The leather strap / harness is straight from the stories, iirc. It's used for displaying medallions of affiliations & honors.
