Has anyone made a Richelieu-class Battleship? I looked in the database and didn't see it there, but I figure its possible its in a mod and wasn't released outside of the mod.

Not that I know off. But there is a Dunkerque class to be found in the varietas delectat pack and the two are very similar. So you can use that, or if not do a conversion.

I got 2 unit requests: an (Argentinian) Grenadier Cavalry and a (Burmese) Arambai.
The Grenadier Cavalry is the Argentian UU in many mods, but they all use a reskinned cavalry as art. I wonder if someone could create a real mounted Grenadier. Preferably with an Argentian look. (The skin of this Grenadier or Cavalry could be used.)
The Arambai is a mounted Darts thrower, which I intend to make the UU for a Burmese civ. It could have the same animations as the Grenadier Cavalry I request above.
A link for reference. (The bottom of the page has some images)

I'll give it a go but no promises. Am sick and thus might forget or die.

Did you make any progress? Or did you forget, abandon, die or something else?

Too much other stuff to do so it can't ever get to the top of my list. Let someone else try.
Has anything ever come of this? Would someone be willing to look into it? Or has something similar already been done?I can't figure out how to get this unit to be as awesome as possible. What I would like to do is create a dogsled UU for the Inuit civilization. Here are the models I currently have ready for it:
Ultimately what I would like to do is have the sled drawn by two dogs, one in front of the other. I want one of the Inuit models to be driving the sled, while the other either wields a spear or bow and arrow. This may require new animations, something I am incapable of doing. Would anybody like to help me with this?
I think it would be a valuable addition to the entire community.
Volunteers?
EDIT: I could provide the dogs too, I was just thinking of using the wolf models, but I suppose I could modify them to look more like sled dogs.
I remember reading about it way back when. I don't think the models were ever released.

Remember when I said I couldn't do it? Turns out I was wrong.
I currently have a working alpha version of the required animation set. As in it all works but needs tweaking to look good. When it's done I'll release it as such and people can just rig what ever mesh they want for the horse and rider.

And it's done. Check out the thread.

That reminds me of how the Carriers worked in Empire Earth 1, also Starcraft's Protoss Carrier had a similiar concept. It is a very good idea.

I have put together the requested animation and attached it to this post. Works relatively well, but it bugs me a bit that the planes start on a 90° angle to how they should normally take off and they pretty much kamikaze into the enemy ship. Interestingly, it looks okay if the "shot" misses. Would be nice if all shots could be triggered to play this miss animation.
Anyhow, enjoy.
