WH Fantasy Mod Preview

[tjedge1]

I didn't see a place to download this is it ready yet? Or did I miss it? This mod looks like the best fantasy one so far aside from the work in progress Lord of the Rings mod!

 

[Kinboat]

I figured I post this preview here... partly because it's directly related (and I probably wouldn't be doing it if I hadn't seen this thread) to this mod and partly to keep Embryodead working on this mod

The Slann... Either a king unit or just a very powerful unit for the Lizardmen civilization that Embryodead now needs to include

This takes forever to render and I'm absolutely dreading the run animation (nine little running lizards ) but here is a preview and a link to an in game shot. Still so palette touch ups relating to the civ-specific color to do.


In game preview:

[Warmaster]

Awesome even if that is the weirdest unit I have ever seen.

 

[Celeborn]

kinboat it might please you to know that slann are not carried by other lizard men... they move the palaquin by force of will alone...

so you can remove the 9 little lizards

 

[Kinboat]

I know they hover... But I decided to have it carried by other lizards so that the whole thing could be a little more useful to others not playing in the WH universe. Plus it was looking a little bare without those guys. If it's vital that he hovers it would be an easy thing once I've finished animating this to just remove those guys for another version.

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Yeah, that's certainly up there on my weird-****-o-meter...

But it looks absolutely fantastic!

The most characters I've ever had in a single animation was four, and soon it'll be eight... I can't even imagine how long it must be taking to get all of these guys to work together!

Kinboat: Yuck! But in a nice way.

 

[embryodead]

damn, the slann looks absolutely fabulous! i wondered how much of those lizards will remain at civ-scale but after in-game preview i'm totally speechless

I have also found a way to make both jungles and swamps in one scenario, so this will make perfect home for the lizards (pine graphics are replaced with jungles)

 

[Raw is War?]

OMG! He looks awesome!

 

[Belial]

You still out there embryodead? This looks like a prominising start and, hopefully, a fantastic finish.

I'm no where near capable of actually designing and building units, however I'm more than willing to learn and help in any aspect I can (provided you wanted some). I must admit, I'm not familiar with the Hammerfall series, though but I do have some slight coding experience.

Just to me, it seems that Civ3 has amazing capabilities with creating a 'chess-like' fantasy game and having each move be very important and, usually, lasting a lot longer than your average chess game.

Probably why I play turn base vs. real-time strategy games.

Anyhow, at the very least, perhaps looking for some more sneak peaks at how it's going.

I Agree!

 

[Yoda Power]

have you seen his Fantasy Units Preview thread?

 

[embryodead]

Yep, as Yoda wrote, there are previews of units I do for the mod. I still need to do 7 to meet the requirements for the 1st release (Wood Elf Spearman & Archer, Mounted Wood Elf Archer, Dwarf w/Hand Cannon, Elven Cavalry and Cold One [velociraptor] Knights).

The other thing that needs to be done are some leaderheads, for high & dark elves and khemri (lich, mummy or generally a powerful undead). I'm sorry about the delay, honestly I played too much Morrowind... but I stopped few days ago and I'm back to Poser.

Is this a guy riding on a flying dinosaur? If it is I'd be happy to use it in my Magnamund mod.

nope, the dino looks more like a ... velociraptor no wings. here is a photo of cold one knight found on google.

 

[embryodead]

and here is a preview of a possible high elf leaderhead, very simple and generic one (I doubt I could do a warhammer style high elf helmet and armor so I dont even try). i might add some custom pieces to him if you have any ideas.

edit: just before you say it... on this background I noticed myself how yellow he is

As tired as I am now I wouldn't even recognise a T Rex charging through my hallway.
I think that elf leaderhead could be used for the "you know what" mod. Did you see that Sween32 finished his elf, btw? Just so you don't do too much work in vain if you like his. (Or will you use that as a wood elf, and this as a high elf?)

You already know the answer... yes, I need 3 elf leaderheads... this one is for high elves, another will be for dark elves, and sween's will be for wood elves, though it is possible I will make my own, because it takes very little time (assuming that I just use ready models etc.) and I really hate that wood elf, not sween's work, and not legolas, but that actor... he is the worst thing in the movie... how could they make such an important character a f--... well, nevermind

I could probably make several leaderheads for other fantasy mods quite quickly, assuming they will be as simple as this one. If there is need, let me know (I don't read the LotR thread anymore, got too big for me...).

 

[Yoda Power]

Nice head

 

[Raw is War?]

Looking good
