Unit requests thread

I don't think those are Hoplites, that looks like a Macedonian Phalanx to me, not all Greek soldiers are Hoplites.

And I believe Bakuel has already made that unit, or something very similar.

The troops in the Phalanx are hopites but the formation is called a Phalanx;)
 
In a macedonian formation, they are 'phalangists' - hoplites used short spears and big shields while Macedonians had huge great pikes and relatively little shields.
 
Hey community :)

I'm looking for a dragon with green scales and some bronze parts ... Fall From Heaven 2 got a red, a white, a golden and a black dragon ... but no green :(
I already found the dragon.nif but I don't know where the skins are and how I can add them to the nif ...
 
It's way too colored for what I need but it's a great mod, I'm looking forward to use it, too.

But I already found the big dragon mod thread where a perfekt green and bronze dragon was made ;)

Exactly, therefore they are not Hoplites. A Hoplite carries a Hoplon, which was not carried by Macedonian Phalangists.
 
Hey,

I'm looking for a skin for a human warrior using a spear.

Appearance: Oberyn has a lined face with thin eyebrows, black "viper" eyes[8] and a sharp nose. His hair is lustrous and black with only a few silver streaks

Here's a portrait:

And a picture where he's in action:

Any idea of a existing skin that may fit? In general a red warrior with a spear would work well :)

EDIT: A second request ... I'm looking for a simple unit -> dragon eggs ... ideally three of them, one black (with a little red), one green/copper and one golden/creme

Hey! I didn't vote for Bush, mainly because, well, a decade or so ago when he was first running for office I was but a tweenish brat and not of voting age and was too concerned with comparing the merits of N64s and playstations rather then political parties. But my family has always leaned more toward democrats then republicans.

@10lire
I will make the uniform, it should not be that hard. And I don't mind the Bush's face. I don't like him, but, life happens and in a democracy people sometimes vote for people they probably shouldn't.

@Doomwyte
If you haven't found any yet Doomwyte, here goes my Macedon units, I think you will probably be able to find what you are looking for.

And just for good measure here goes my Greeks too.

I second my request of a reaper drone with air unit behavior and helicopter altitude.

Hey,

There's really no unit like this in ffH2?

Not exactly what you mean, but i guess this or this could work.
 
To creat my own unit graphics, what programm would you advice me to use?
Blender, 3DS Max, or an other one.

I'd like one which is easy to use and I don't have to learn for ages to handle.
And of naturally, I'll have to be able to creat graphics with absolutly new froms, with it.

So which should I use?

It´s quite simple, if you can afford 3DS Max use it (it´s the professional tool), but lets say, first you have to find an old verson which works with the offizial scripts firaxis released or use the scripts form niftools. A "free reduced" version is gmax (iirc it´s based on 3DS 4), i think for this you must use the niftools scripts instead of the offizial ones.

Blender is free, but imo it´s a bit harder harder to start with (i did my first steps with gimp [p38 tutorial], and using blender the first time was a small change). But if you follow the first, lets 30 - 50 pages, of the from noob to pro blender tutorial you should know the basics.

Basicly you can try and use every modelling tools you find and can afford, as long as you can exportthe model in a way blender / 3DS max can import to create the nif for civ4 with this programs
 
Great, the eggs will work, will try to color them myself ;)

I guess I didn't clear out what I need ... the spearman should be more like a light armored knight with a spear than a simple barbarian warrior.

...mmhh...FfH2 empyrion units do look like this, don't they?
 
I'm not sure if this is the right thread... but I want to add civ-specific colors to my units. Can someone refer me to a guide or tell me what to do with graphic files before converting them to .dds?
