Unit requests thread

[Keinpferd]

I would like a Rennisance/Industrial War Elephant, sorta like this:

As in, a guy with a guy with a rifle mounted on an elephant. There's currently no such unit.

Business idea, renting elephants to gays.

I just spent a minute cracking up.

I would like to request something along the lines of a chinese cannon. Like one that has the cannon inside the mouth of a golden dragon covering. Kinda like the one on Kung Fu Panda 2, or the one on board the airship in Avatar The last airbender. It'd be fine to use the artillery skeleton for it..

Quick question

While importing/exporting an nif into blender, it messes up the skins. Im working on a berlin wall art, and its just one item (the wall) but has 8 different skins going to 8 different areas. When i export/import it into blender, blender changes it so now i have 8 different items (all the whole wall) and each going to one skin. Is there an option while importing/exporting that does that?

I don't think i's perfect, but I did this unit some time ago. Maybe it could be the start of a better work.

It is based on embryodead's Mughal siege elephant.

Some times agon, someone requested a cannon, moved by horses. Does anyone know if there is any progress with this project? It would be very interesting, I think.

Secondly, there are different artilleries towed by lorries in the Civ3 database. Could someone do this unit for Civ 4, too?

Could anyone be so kind and help me with this units? In Facts, I am not skilled with animations, and those units will need some work on animation. Otherwhise I would have done it by myself.

Can anyone make the Hornet for BTS 3.19? I'd like to see a unit get attacked by some angry hornets. I have big plans for making the hornet a real threat to early exploring units. If the hornet wins the combat, it will make another nest! These pests will spread like barbarians and will be difficult to get rid of. As always, everything depends upon the graphics. Who will be so kind to make the angry hornet?

Very Respectfully,

I'd like to request an unarmed Siamese Muay Thai unit. I'm planning on using it as a Siamese UU replacing the Warrior, so if it could have an ancient sort of look to it, even better.

Could someone please make the flying wings from Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow? Note that their wings flap like bird wings rather than fixed like normal aircraft.

Could some make a Herero Rifleman. Basically an African unit with a Riffle and the clothing style in the image above. Thanks!

In Civilization 5, the Danish Civilization has the Ski Infantry.. perhaps it's better to have some of this wonderful unit in Civilization 4 and a better addition to the game.. maybe all you need to do is to add ski graphics below the infantry or fusiliers feet... PLEASE can someone make this unit...

this not a request for a unit but a question about a unit.

I'm using this Roman Legionary by zenspiderz in my mod and everything works great except one thing: when the unit dies, or when one of the three units in the group dies, its replaced graphically by a standing still Legionary for the duration of the combat, then it disappears. any idea how I can fix this?

the unit includes road and fort building animations, but I haven't tried to use those. I'm totally inexperienced with modding units, but I have included lots of custom ones in my mod with no other problems.

zenspiderz hasn't been on in 2 1/2 years so I hope its ok to ask this question here. thanks in advance.

sabiot leigh knows about that... I think I have a working legionary however....

 

[DataByne]

I have a fun challenge for someone more skilled in skinning than I:

I've been using j_mie6's Ninja mod with an orangified face, but... it's not the same.

 

[j_mie6]

at least somebody is using him

I would do this but I am not that skilled

Not sure if this is exactly the same unit, but i added two missing files to one legionary some years ago. The missing files (the unit lacked the die fade animation files) causes the error you describe. The additional or changed files are uploaded in this thread (at least the kfm and the two kfs are necessary)

I would also like to request an asian handcannonier as well. I know about that chinese cannon unit, but it's not really what I'm looking for.. I would like it to have a handcannon like the ones in princess mononoke, but to be dressed in a generic oriental military uniform of the time.. like around 1100 AD..thanks.

I suppose I could use the hawk from FFH2 as a base. It would be a nice challenge.

Very Respectfully,

The hard part would be the swarming thing. And the animation. The model might also be tricky. In short, only someone really, really good could do this.

I still cannot find a Chinese cannon, a real cannon, not a hand one. Zerver made two packs of ethnicly diverse cannons a few years ago, but the link is broken.

Just for the record, I'm giving up on that and just using the warlords Chinese Cannon. It should be fine.

Hello everyone.

I would like to request a unit that would look like original Civ4 Cuiracier, but have a melee attack animation from say Conquistador with a similar sword weapon - essentially I need a Cuiracier and Conquistador crossbreed

thank you much!

PS: I have seen a unit like that before made by someone, but its quality was very very poor- the unit colors were very very dim and unrealistic. Hoping someone could do a better version.
