Work in progess and Previews

[wolf_66]

while I agree with Steph comments on firing position I hope this won't discourage you from releasing these units. Models looks pretty good. Some of them, especially JGSDF one, are needed to fill existing gaps in available units line.
As most of previewed units look focused on Asian-Pacific region, do you plan to include a modern Australian Infantryman too ?
Further to this do you have any plan for units with heavy weapons (HMG, mortars or so) ?

 

[Wolfshade]

Shiro, I agree with Steph's comment about the rifle as well, and I also do agree with the point community needs these units definitely of this quality level. You got the same quality level of production as Sandris achieved with his brilliant work, so I beg you to make at least a few modern units to fill the gaps in the Wyrm's lines. Thank you, Shiro, for your tireless work!

1. Japan, JGSF (wanted one for a long time)
2. North Korea, Special Operation Force
3. China, People's Liberation Army Marine (love their camo)
4. Vietnam, Peoples Army of Vietnam
5. India, Sikh Regiment
6. Cambodia, Khmer Rouge
7. Indonesian, Indonesian Army

Most are armed with a varient of the AK-47, JGSDF has a Howa type 64, PLA Marine has a QBZ-95, and the Indonesian Army using an M16.


I'm less worried about the preview images than the flcs. If you think its obvious that the butt is under the shoulder at civ scale I will change it.

I would like to make a few rocket launchers and HMG, but I don't know if I have the skill.

I might make an Australian soldier and marine, but its low on the priority list atm

Very Cool Units , ShiroKobbure , those units can be used for Asian Modern Wars

Darn , all wrong , it looked like i named them correctly

oh yea QBZ-95 or QBZ-97 that was the gun i was looking for ,
in one FPS game , PLA(BF2) is using that gun as a Spec Ops

I noticed something weird when looking first at the preview animation at Civ scale, and then I looked at the large preview and saw confirmation the position rifle butt/ shoulder was not correct.

Update to the JGSDF Soldier

And now Malaysian Royal Infantry

Also, Afghan National Army Special Forces

 

[wolf_66]

Great previews
Thanks for your efforts.

PS do not worry about Australian Marine. There is no Marine Corps in Aus Orbat yet

 

[Steph]

Better!

 

[Wolfshade]

Shiro, a detail I mentioned once but long ago - will these units have a "build" & "road" animations? I definitely know modern troops can build roads and fortifications.

Yes, but the AI will only use them as "Workers" if every terraform ability is selected -- and, if you do (essentially selecting multiple strategies) the AI will only assign one of those srategies to that unit.

Is there a way to have those units behaving like crusaders in epic game? This means ability to build forts, at least.

Crusaders & the Roman Legions in that Conquest will build forts -- I characterize that as a "hack" for the Conquests release. That one flag should work, but that's about it.

Korean People's Army

 

[smirnoff]

Another cool units , you created , very liked them a lot , take your time bud
just wonder if we can try them later

 

[Ares de Borg]

I can hereby confirm that roman legionaries will build roads. At least in my mod, but my settings aren't that special.

 

[7ronin]

Great units!

1. Most of the photos I have seen of Khmer Rouge fighters shows them bare headed.
2. The JGSDF soldier fills a big void. Go jeitai!
3. If you have a Khmer Rouge soldier you will need his F.A.N.K. enemy (all U.S. gear/uniform)
4. Perhaps to dream: Japanese SNLF troop (海軍特別陸戦&#38538 1930's; Japanese Imperial Guard 1905 (近衛師団 JASDF base security; Satsuma soldier 1877; Japanese Imperial Army soldier 1877.
5. Saigo Takamori Leaderhead (General's uniform), someday - please.

 

[ShiroKobbure]

Korean People's Marine (Actually a sailor, since right now they do not have a marine corps)

@7ronin
1. Actually all the photos I've seen of the Khmer Rouge show them with their Chinese type cap. I will be making Royal Cambodian Army units.
2. Bingo
3. I might make my way into WW2, especially for the Chinese. But in the meantime, SNLF, IJA 1937 , IJN Marine , IJN Commando by Gary Childress, and hopefully imperator1961 will make all those Meiji era units, those were all on my request list (great minds right?) I'm not sure what JASDF base security would look like (to distinguish from the JGSDF), but JSDF will be getting some more units.
5. Maybe some day

Also, it would be nice to get this

 

[ShiroKobbure]

Pakistan Army

Ignore the poses, I'm still working on them.

 

[nick0515]

I might make an Australian soldier and marine, but its low on the priority list atm

I'm sure it would be even less of a priority than this, but any chance of a New Zealand soldier at some point?

 

[ShiroKobbure]

Its possible. Out of curiosity do NZ and Australia differ much in terms of uniform and equipment?
