Unit requests thread

Has anyone made a zebra unit? Because it would be cool (albeit) unhistorical, to have zebra-riding Zulus.
 
This is the one I wanted to use, but you can use your judgement. Although I think a tomahawk wouldn't really make that much sense for the Sioux.

Interesting, htat is the dog soldiers weapon. But the maceman you ULed has this weapon:

Hence my confusion. Ill just put the dog soldiers weapon on there.

Actually yes. A while back Capo had a list of units and I was making a few of them for him. One of them was a zulu horseman or something and I made an alternate version with a zebra. I lost all the finished units somehow. I do however have the zebra skin, so it would be fairly easy to remake.

I'm relatively sure that both requests are actually for the same mod. :goodjob:
 
While we're on the Sioux right now I was wondering if anybody has made a Sioux or Iroquois cannon? If not I'd suggest the Sioux Musketman body and head made by Bernie14 and the Iroquois Grenadier body and head which was also made by Bernie14. I know Cannons are a bit difficult to make though, so if its too hard for anyone to create I'd understand... :mischief:
 
The Capo: here are your sioux swordsman and archer.

For the archer, I didnt put the big headdress on it because theres already like 4 of the sioux that use it. So I just put some better feathers in the back of its head. I tried to keep it as primitive looking as possible since it is such an early unit. Feel free to put it back if you want.
 
Thanks AZ, I don't know what I'd do without you. Well, I guess I'd still be waiting on someone to make these units, but you know what I mean. I'll check these out ASAP. I also made a bunch of Sioux native modern units, so once I get them in-game and put up a screen I'll send them over to you, because you might want them for your mod. They aren't fancy, but I think the Marine and Paratrooper are pretty cool looking.

EDIT: Damn son! That's much better than I anticipated. Awesome job.

I assume these use regular archer and swordsman animations?

I can't find it, but there is a zebra rider in the database
You should cruise a bit through the fantasy units section.
 
I don't know about zebra rider, but HISTORY IN THE MAKING has an impi riding a giraffe for the Zulu Horse Archer.


Which I believe technically makes them Giraffe Archers.

No . .. .. .. .? That's awesome! I'd like to take a look at that.
 
Oh man, that's way too awesome not to use. Now I'll really need those Zebra skins (I'll probably use them for the cuirassier too). I also have a legitimate question.

I've been trying to use the female explorer for the Sioux/Iroquois in my mod. I actually took it from VD but it seems I can't get it to work properly (using VD's XML). It looks like the animations are incorrect, I suppose the female settelr XML could work but it doesn't seem like they would have an attack animation (if they are attacked while exploring that is), so does anyone know how to get around this? I have another one that has a musket but I'd rather not have her brandish a musket. Any ideas how to get this fixed. Picture is attached.
 
Also those giraffes don't work and they aren't textured correctly. Damn it, you got my hopes up!

EDIT: now I NEED this unit, does anyone have it in working condition? (the Zulu one)

Here try this version. It has custom kf's to make it work. Im willing to wager Avain thought they were normal explorer kf's and accidently got rid of them.

Thanks a lot AZ, again. Now if anyone could get me that damn Zulu Giraffe archer I'd be sittin' pretty over here. Well that is until I need more unit help. ;)

ten chars...
 
Thanks The_J, my alcoholism strikes again! I'll be sure to DL it and see if that one works, apparently I was wrong because AlaskanAssassin chided me for saying his units didn't work. :(
 
A new Ancient/Medieval female spy. The current one (at least, the one I found) is simply not fitting for an Ancient unit, with its flashing blue suit and this bomb-thing in her hands...

Actually, I would like to require two female spies: one ancient, more primitive in look, at best with some tattoos; and a Medieval one, at best all in brown robes.
