Okay, sorry for the misunderstanding. In this case, there are three possible useful units I know:
Female archer scout and female archer. Perhabs the most stone age like female archer. Does this help you?

I've gotten a good number of civilizations added in my Rohan's Rise Mod, but I was going to add the hobbits before I uploaded it. Can anyone make any like the ones from LOTR? Some hobbits with swords and bows would be awesome.

No one wants to make hobbits?

Not many unit makers left sadly :blush:

There are some but no one that really takes that many requests, havent seen someone make a succesful request in here in a while

...And I'm not the greatest when it comes to art, so I can't do it myself either. :sad:

thanks for the suggestions

Does anyone know of what ballista models are out there? We in C2C are currently using Kathy's Ballista, but that causes animation CTDs (confimed as the cause), so we need to replace the graphics. I did a quick search and Kathy's was the only stand-alone ballista I could find.

Kathy · Nov 23, 2012

Do you use the correct animations (khmeerBallista Elephant)? In my Mod, the Ballista has never crashed.

The only other Balliste I know is this Skorpion.

Here's the define.

		</UnitArtInfo>

We've pinpointed the crash as an animation issue through the debugger and minidumps. Any ideas?

Kathy · Nov 23, 2012

Hm, no idea, if you are using this .kfm... What happens, if you use the original Khmer Ballista Elephant Animations, with the original path?

Does to unit allways cause this crash, or only sometimes?

It only happens sometimes. I'll try getting the art again from the Downloads section and test with that.

Just started playing Civ IV again after a break. Not sure the best way to say this, and with all respect to the creators of the game, but I do find the units and some of the pictures just a bit cartoonish for my taste. I would like to find a modpack for a more realistic look. I did brouse around the forums a bit but I would appreciate anyone's thoughts or recommendations. Thanks.

has anyone ever made a modern/future era sentry style machine gun? basically a machine gun on a tripod autonomously defending.

this would be an upgrade to the machine gun as a siege unit.

i've searched and i can not find a mod which this type of unit.

The_J · Dec 9, 2012

Don't think we have such a unit somewhere :dunno:

.

I guess shrinking down some of the mech infantry models could maybe do an intermediate job :dunno:

I have been trying to make an Clockpunk Airship by combining a Hot Air Balloon with a Sloop ship. So it looks something like this. Can someone help combine those 2 units into something that resembles that picture.

Many thanks in advance!

I've attached a MG without a gunner to this post. It looks the same as the one of the MG gunner unit through, but you can always reskin it if you like.

Do you have links to the units? In the best case, they can just be combined using NifSkope. In the worst case, some Blender work is necessary. But this is only for the model, don't know if the new model will play well with the existing animation.

thanks! ill check it out!

EDIT:

SaibotLieh, I started creating the unit and this is pretty much exactly what I envisioned! awesome!

I'll post a screen shot once complete, thanks again!

Yes I do.

Balloon
http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2703

Note the balloon part may need to be widened or even have 2 balloons.

Ship
http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=11489

I am not sure which one of these would be best. Possibly top row right or 3rd row right. The triangular sails I think best match the concept drawing.

Thanks in advance if you can merge a balloon and ship to look like a Clockpunk Airship. :goodjob:

Sounds good, glad you like it.

I think it might also be worthwhile to upload the finished sentry gun to the download base, since there seems to be no similar unit so far. :goodjob:

No problem, here you go.

Should work the same way the balloon does.

here's a screenshot of my testing.

Spoiler :

i decreased the size and set the unit display count to 1. the sounds are set as well, i just need to do the text and attach it to a tech.

I will most certainly upload the unit as part of my "basic expanded" mod.

How difficult is it to skin a variant? I was thinking of something more chrome looking for an "advanced" (upgrade) version.

Oh that looks really good. However could you move up the Z axis so it hovers around Airship or Helicopter Gunship height. Right now its at sea level and I would like to use it more like a Helicopter or Blimp.

Thanks! :goodjob:
