UNIT: Slinger Graphics

[heardie]

I have an animation. It is 75 frames, and has S, SW, W, NW, and N

Using Flicster someone could make this into a unit, even if it is just for the S direction, just to test. Unfortunatly i don't have any way to create FLICS.

Nice work

I know someone that I'm almost 100% sure will know what to do - i'll give him a call and he'll post here soon (i hope!)

Cheers!

It was actually quite easy. Downloaded some programs and simply extracted the bibtmmpas from AOE2 graphics.

I knew it looked AoEish

Good ! we will have the first bombarding unit for the ancients scenarios.

Could be a a

attack : 1
bombard : 1
Defense : 0

Should be cheap (10 shields like a warrior).

Somehow a catapult seems more likely to destroy a temple & walls than a slingshot.

They key is to get a crackshot that can wing one over the wall, hit a sentry on helmet, over to the swordsman who will drop the sword on the rope and the door will fly open .... i mean, its obvious to me!

Isn't that a copyright violation?

[Mercury]

It isn't copyright violation. It's for everyone's good. Also you won't sell it for a price.

[SMIFFGI]

It probably is copyright but who the hell cares, it was done in ctp.
and I mean it was AoE + A0E2 that those Microsoft people published, you know the same ppl who gave us Windoze.


PS. Internal Error Explorer has faulted up *again*

Yep, i did not realize artillery was destroying buildings in Civ 3 but I still believe it could be a bombarding (weakening) unit for open combat and could be captured the same way.

Bombard would rather be : 2.

Is it really stupid considering the way they were used (psiloi, auxiliarii = light mobile infantry that does not go into direct contact but harrass the enemy).

Humm

Has anyone made a flc file for this that works with civ3 yet? I sure would like to use it....

[heardie]
