"Uncle Cam" huh?
Maybe I'll have to change my user title.

A double-weapon unit (axe & sword) would probably be fun to animate, but I'm not promising anything yet. I'll wait until I'm done with the swordsman before I decide on what's to follow.

 

[mrtn]

The guys don`t like it, and I changed my mind after some time, I think a new one matching the swordsman would be best

I like the unit, but it's not an imperial spearman.

bigdog, just because a unit looks great doesn't mean it's got anything to do in this mod. I've been here for four years, you'd have to look hard to find a unit I haven't laid eyes on.
If it doesn't have the 16th century look you don't need to bother with a unit for Reikland, it won't be better than what we already have.

 

[Stormrage]

Let me rephrase that: the guys don`t like that suggestion (like anyone could ever dislike Cam`s units )

Uncle Cam!

i was just wondering are their any african "zulu" or navtive american type civs in warhammer?

 

[LMR]

the lizardmen are "aztecs" in WH, plus there are the Amazons

im not sure about africa, is that the southlands? coz there are lizardmen in the southlands, too...

 

[Tyrion]

Yup The lizardmen seem to represent the native people of South America/Central and there are tribes of them in The Southlands which is indeed the closest continent you'll find to Africa. There are human nations in the northern end of The Southlands but they are more what we would call middle eastern.

As such the native humans of Africa arent represented as fully as they could be. North America just so happens to be dominated by The Dark Elves so any humans there are either chaos or enslaved.

According to that awesome map that came with the White Dwarf with the Lustria Campaign the only continent without some kind of twisted form in the Warhammer world sadly is Australia.

 

[LMR]

Perhaps they are saving that for a HUGE NEW RELEASE or something?

Can you imagine it tho? killer kangaroos, gigantic wombats pulling chariots, packs of dingoes (eating your babies )... would be quite an army!

 

[Stormrage]

I kinda think its kinda racist of GW to kinda not have a kinda african civ...

You could make a sweet army based on that Oh, and on the aussies too

 

[Scytale]

We could go ahead and create it ourselves (the african based civ). I kind of like the ideea and there are plenty of units to choose from.

 

[Stormrage]

Hmmm... WH is a game of conversions

What about the fantasy units? There is a triceratops rider.. anything else?

 

[Scytale]

Some elephant units, lions, anything related to that part of the world. I was thinkig they could be a mostly human civ with few fantasy creatures include. Kind of like a human civ surrounded by hostile forces (Undead, Lizardmen...etc.).

 

[Stormrage]

Hmm, I`ll start working on it

 

[Scytale]

I could help too. I'll start looking for units .

 

[Stormrage]

I`ll go look at the tech tree and list what we need

Warrior
Spearman
Swordsman
Archer
Horseman
Chariot
Artillery
Mage
Infantry
Pikeman
Knight
Assassin
Nature Lore
Creature Control
Aerial
Invention
Adv. Siege
Dragon

 

[Scytale]

Ethiopians look to well dressed to match the other untis

 

[Scytale]

Those zulu units by Dom Pedro are excellent! We could use the musketman too.
Also the ethiopian javelineer and the ethiopian horseman could be used for the II era.
I was thinking that it would be best if they didn't have siege weapons.
