Unit requests thread

[Kathy]

Can someone take the Blowgun weapon from this and put it on a Native American unit to make a Carib Blowgunner like in AOE3? Thanks!

Funny - I planned to request the same unit type today...

I didn't know that there was already a (strange) unit with blowgun existing... I someone could give me that single unit (including animations) I could even try it by myself to replace the lizardman.

I also have some other AOE3 unit requests ...

Nootka Clubman
Can someone take a clubman and give it that typeof pointy hat and a bark cape? I know there are similar hats that the Mayan Holkan has or maybe an asian unit.

Huron Mantlet
A Native American unit with a huge round hide shied. Should be holding a hatchet.

Mapuche Ironwood Clubman
Green feathered headdress and a huge pole. Think of it like a bo or giant walking stick. Clothing should be similar to the Inca padded armor.

Many thanks in advance to anyone that can make any of these.

while we're on AOE3 requests, a Congreve Rocket would be nice...

 

[Jwitti]

wow, totally didn't think this would be a double....

anyway, graphics for a mounted xbow? I didn't check the db, so..

 

[Kathy]

As far as I know, there is no male crossbow rider in the database until now. I once made a female one for my Amazon civ, look here.

If I don't forget, I can replace the rider by a male model on weekend. Is there anything you would prefer the rider to look like (e.g. European Knight, Arabian looking,...). For very special demands, you can give me a link to an existing unit, and I can try to use this.

 

[Jwitti]

nothing special, I just thought a mounted xbow would be nice as the Mongols in RFC, or in any other mounted-focused civ in another mod...
Thanks, though.
ALSO: can you tell me how to integrate this into a mod?

 

[Jwitti]

I thought of another that may be popular. Or not....
Most units die as if they were killed by.. themselves. Why not make the standard animations for their best counter? ie, a Longbow would die as if by mace or knight's sword (not much difference) melee or as if by musket ranged..
Mostly I thought of this while watching crosbows impale themselves on my calvary and rifles (noble,Agressive Ais) and thought it unrealistic to see crossbowmen act as if they were shot by a crossbow, and the rifles/calvary died as if it was a rifle or calvary killing them
I probably just asked for some thing really, really, really hard, so feel free to say so if it is. And if this is the wrong thread...

I would like to request a Warrior-esque unit with a SAM Infantry Rocket Launcher on it, if that makes sense, I believe (but correct me if I'm wrong) that there is no such unit in the database.

TAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried to do a blowgunner like the one Hydromancerx requested, recombining the FFH-Modell with a one made by Bakuel, but I am not 100% glad with it because of the animations. Nevertheless, I am afraid this is the best I could do, perhaps someone other can improve his movements when he shots.

I think, tomorow I will add a set of mounted corssbowmen, I plan to do arabian, mongol and european versions.

Another thing, does anyone know if there is a unit wearing a pitch fork, a trident or a scythe as weapon or tool? I want a unit of peasant soldiers in my, until now it it armed with a spear, but I think, one of this weapons would be nicer. Unfortunately the worker unit does not use one of them as tool.

I maybe off, but I think I haven't seen a single Halberdier/Polearm unit =)
those would be nice to have.
I imagine you could use original pikemen bodies, but they will need 2hand slash animations and some rather massive halberds =)

original axeman do have some massive axes, but don't exactly resemble halberdiers

Also, another idea I have is to have get some Peasants/townfolk armed with Scythes and Pitchforks =)

Also, not a design request, but I am looking for some post-modern/sci-fi units that shoot actual Lasers - specially for infantry.

EDIT: I just realized that HRE pikeman alternative (the Lancres...sp?) looks exactly like a halberdier should, with only one problem - they use their halberds as pikes. If someone could make them swing them like axes, that would be awesome =)

 

[Goldflash]

While I'm still looking for the Schooner, here is one that might be easier.

I need an anti aircraft gun, so I went rooting around in the World War II mod that was included in BTS, Road to War, and found one. The problem is the unit doesn't seem to have a proper texture; the whole this is just an ugly beige with no detail. Could someone fix this, OR point me in the direction of a better AA gun?

I request a Balloon Barrage for my mod
heres a picture

They were baloons used in WW2, that had cable attached to the ground, so any German fighter that flew underneath would get caught,

its a little interesting unit, i would love to see art for it

you could probably just do airship (without the cockpit) with a line going toward the ground, although something that looked like the picture would be better

 

[Jwitti]

the picture is missing

Here two aditional versions of my Xbow-Rider, requested by Jwitti: European (Charlemagne-Mod) and Turk (Credits to Bakuel).

Looksgood, thanks. How does one integrate this into a mod (sorry, never done this before)

Hi everyone

I meet a problem with a head I Would like to add to a norse axeman I should use in ethnicae ...

Usually, I don't have too many problems to make what I wish but this time, no way ... If someone could help me to fix it, plizzzzzzzzzz !!!

here a link to the problematic head/unit. I included the blender file where the head is + the unit .nif ( which working fine without the head = norseaxeman.nif ) + the unit .nif wich crash the game ( norseaxeman2.nif ) ...

Thanks a lot !!!


what I would like to get :

PS : I think a Xbow-Rider is an excellent idea ! Bravo


EDIT : I have too a blender file where I cut everything except the beard I rigged to the head ( to avoid the spine which the beard bone is originally rigged to ) ... If needing any part of the files, just ask

Could someone make some law enforcement related units? Such as ...

Police Motorcycle
A single person version of this and re-skinned to look more like this.

Police Car
Use like something like this car model and reskinned to look something like this police car. Perhaps just take out the person on the top of the car. Just the car is fine.

Police Helicopter
And some sort of police helicopter. Not sure if there is a good model out there.
