Units Request for Midgard mod

[Yorgos]

I wish to request for some units for the now releashed Midgard mod based on the homonymous civ2 fantastic worlds scenario. If an animator starts working with a unit I would like to know so that I may not post an update without the new unit.

So here are the units, listed on priority:

Merman

Merguard

Merman Settler and Worker

Triton Legion (Land unit)

Witch (Land unit, flying animations)

Skidbladnir (Air unit)

Ellida (Air unit)

Winged Settler and Worker (Like my avatar!)

In addition I would find useful a modification of Kinboat’s Angel Swordsman with armor and shield (so that it will be more convincing as an upgrade of the angel spearman) and his Angel leadearhead with mountains as background (so that it will appear more like a winged woman, I ‘ve already done this with the pcxs).

Hmm, I don't have access to the attachments? Can't view them...

The first post has been updated with the correct previews.

The previews are visible now.

That was one of my favorite mods for civ2. Would love to see it in Civ3. I hope somebody does do some of these for you.

 

[Yorgos]

Any volunteers?

I might be able to do the winged settler and worker. However, I can't make an promises.

I really hope someone makes the witch, it's weird one hasn't been made yet.

I was just about to say the same thing. If i was a unitmaker i'd be ashamed for not making one.

LMR agreed to do the c'n'p angel worker and settler in a while, he's really with school ATM (I need 'em for my mod, too). Also, I'm making an angel unit you couls probably use, .

Um, couldn`t the ships just be used as land units, thus giving them the air-ship look? There`s lots of ships that would fill the spots nicely.

As always, any interesting unit has the "approved and seconded by Stormrage" stamp on it

but any normal ship wouldnt be floating. it'd be on the ground, not in the air.

 

[Stormrage]

C`n`P it off center? You know, up?

 

[Quinzy]

i suppose, but then shadow would have to be drawn in. it just wouldnt look 'up' without shadow to show it. now maybe c&ping it over an already existing plane animation could solbe that, providing the planes shadow somewhat resembles the boats shape. i'm sure a generic airship shadow would works.

 

[Stormrage]

Aren`t there floating ships in the D&D mod by Tjedge?

 

[Yorgos]

There are, and I'm actually using one of them. But believe me, it looks much worse than what you'd expect, and I'm using it only because I have nothing better.

Wow, thread coming back to life after a year! Well, it should be, because I'm working on a small update. I've already added seven new units (which were made after Midgard was released). It will probably come during this week, details will soon follow. However, anyone willing to make some of the above units is welcome, even if it takes some time.

 

[Goldflash]

Oh holy crap seconded

 

[Yorgos]

Here are the details of the upcoming update:

In fact I've already added the new units and art, and all I need to do is the small map and the self-extracting archive.

BTW, does anyone know what is the default installation path of civ3? I'll need to include it in the installer, but I don't know what it is (I never install programs in their default folders)

 

[Lord Malbeth]

Probably:

C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Civilization III Complete\Conquests\Scenarios

For Complete.

and c:\Program Files\Infograms Interactive\Civilization III\Conqusets\Scenarios
