Is there a dromedarii graph somewhere (roman camel rider auxiliary)?
If no can someone put a roman soldier (in mail preferably) on a camel?

Of course, I am trying to make a parrallel of the cavalry but with camels.
The most important would be to have camel lancers as with some retexturing I have already a certain diversity in camel archers. (In fact I checked that earlier today)

There is a camel cataphract here, it could make a possible base, removing the crest and changing the head with a roman head (and ideally another with a european helmet)

There is also a light camel lancer and another with the "middle eastern" knight on a camel, I found them in a mod but I can't find them on the site for some reason.
I came from the mod "sword of Islam" well that light lancer would be the ideal candidate to put a roman cavalryman on it to have something interesting. Alas I just checked and it uses a custom animations, that would probably complicate the process (I don't really know honestly), the "early islamic bedouin chief" of the same mod is also nice.


Thanks for your help. ;)
 
if i understand correctly, you want the unit in the link you provided, with a roman head. so, i downloaded the unit but the thing is you also have to provide me the link with the head (or the unit that has the head) you want. if it's from a default civ4 unit then all you have to do is name that unit and i'll do the rest.

ps: i did some editing just for fun and put the default charlomagne unit with team colour :)

EDIT: since i made the unit, i thought why not upload it? smne might find it useful. so here it is :) :
 
He looks great, the best unit would be the roman longbow, I thought he was in the pack of Dumianos but he is not there. I will look for it tomorrow

I thought I had a copy of the tripod but I can't find it. I too would be interested in it. There are some nice ones for Civ III.
 
Hi guys, it has been a long time since my last post, but work got in the way:(
Again I am trying to learn the art of unit modding...still a long way to go, I was trying to follow the guide @Clanky gave me months ago but I have difficulties following it at this stage.

So far this is what I've managed to do: The Zenith mech from Front mission, got the model and converted it to civ4 nif..now the animation part, can anybody help?

The best roman helmet would be the late antique roman model of the byzantine swordsman http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=12913

Which bit did you have trouble understanding? Unfortunately with things like this tutorials tend to get vague when you get to the nitty gritty. Mainly because the nitty gritty is the part that is different depending on what specifically your doing.

Ha sorry for late reply :blush:.
I'm trying to practice with the skeleton swapping method, I will use the marine skeleton and the Zenith mesh, a work in progress and I'm moving slowly because of work:mad:; this weekend though I'll get something done
