Sure go ahead. He gave me a PM, but I hardly mind sharing! Have fun. 
Unit requests thread
- Thread starter Thunderfall
- Start date
Ya know, I wouldn't mind given that a go myself. It could be my first unit!(I only have made LH's right now) I'll give it a try eh.
Units are a 1000x more fun to make
There is always a work around to a problem, you just need to know where to look. Not just buy 3000$ software! troytheface

request a Balearic Slinger for a UU to use in another request for a Civ in the Civ request section. (shirtless, javalin, buckler (small round shield) and sling)
Requesting several units. If someone already made these, please direct me to where it can be found. I used the search, and couldn't locate them specifically for CIV IV, BtS expansion.
First, a F4 Phantom II, using standard Jet Fighter animations.
Use this to design it. I'd prefer it to be in the desert camo seen in the picture.
2nd,
an IDF unit using standard Marine animations. (Israeli Defense Force) Possibly something that resembles Shayetet 13, or the standard uniform. (Seen above.)
Now. The rest I have in mind are a little more...different. They work on a different concept of the game. They are as follows:
Tycoon, Beacon Trooper.
I can't really find a picture to associate with the tycoon. I want it too look like a richer, more wealthy version of a corporate executive. And, he would use the standard executive animations.
The Beacon Trooper is a little more...ambitious. And I understand if noone wants to attempt it. Basically, it'd be a hybrid between a Marine and a Navy SEAL, uniform wise. Instead of a gun, he'd be holding a beacon. (In RL, it'd be a GPS device.) For the concept of him to work in my mod, he'd require custom animations. Mostly, for when his special ability is put into affect. His special ability is based around a technology + building I will be adding in. It's a futuristic space weapon. Upon activating his special ability, a laser coming from orbit would touch ground where he his standing, and proceed to have a massive explosion/blast occupy the area.
Or, it could be kept simple by merely having a missile descend down. But I haven't worked up a mental image of what that missile would look like yet.
I'm not entirely sure how exactly it'd work, but i'd imagine it'd be possible. I'm currently planning to purchase 3D Max sometime in the future, so if you can't make all of my units, i'd be able to pitch in.
Thanks for any help.

The F4 Phantom already exists... it's probably in the download database, but if you can't find it there, I have it in my Wolfshanze Mod... I think I got it from Snafu's Modern Warfare mod... so many models... I can't remember them all.
Here's the Celtic version:
Like the helmet wolfy?
I DO LIKE THE HELMET CHUG!
Any chance of combining the Helmet with the "German Spearman" though? I don't like the body paint (I know the helmet + paint is your Celt and the no body paint + no helmet is your German, but if it's not too much trouble, how about sticking that same helmet on the German guy with no paint... for a third option... that wouldn't be hard, right?!?!?).
Oh... and where's the download link! :wink:

Snafusmith already made the F4 with the markings of the USAF (or was it Navy markings?). Check mods such as the air force mod, Varietas Delectat.
In addition the Wolfshanze mod has a re-texture of Snafu's F4 on civcolors. All the mods I mentioned are BtS-compatible. Snafu's own mod is for Warlords so you better don't use the XML in it for BtS if you want to avoid crashes and bugs.
As on the IDF soldier, there are in the download database several marine units with different weapons like the M16, FAMAS and one or two others I don't know out of my head. Check there first, perhaps one of those weapons looks close enough to the one you want a "simple" retexture of the unit might be enough for your needs.
If you can find uniforms for dutch riflemen, grenadiers infantry or marines, I'll make them next
I am probably late to the game, but here are a bunch of pics for the napoleon era

Looking forward to your January release
I know there are some very talented unit creators out there so I'm putting out a request for an ox-cart type unit. I need it for the UU for the Indus Valley Civilization I'm working on, so if anyone could do that, it'd be great. Thanks in advance
How about the Supply Train unit from the Charlemagne mod ? that is an ox cart

Wow...I didn't see that
. Thanks for letting me knowMaybe but it's silly to have the germanic one with the celtic helmet
I'm going to really start unit modelling now because I have to get out a first release this month. I might upload a couple of units before then tho

Well, let me be silly then... you can just PM me the silly unit then!Maybe but it's silly to have the germanic one with the celtic helmet
Who's to say a German spearman didn't kill a Celt and steal his helmet!?!?
Speaking of unit modeling and releasing stuff soon... don't forget those German and British Explorers! I think those should be worked on and released first (hint, hint, beg, beg).
