Converting Civilization3 unit animations

[cegorach]

Sorry, very busy weekend, but I think I have all units I need. Or at least almost all of them.

Here it goes.

Scots I

Very old set, so I am not sure if he has anything left... But those units are very useful.

Highland Fusilier, Highland Musketeer, Highland Pikeman

Only one of those musketeer units is necessary, but you could ask for both. I hope that it can be used for Highlanders with a shield, do you think it is possible?







Dutch Units I

Dutch Artillery 16 C, Dutch Dragoon 17 C., Dutch Musketeer 17 C, Dutch Reiter 16 C

XVIth century artillery could be useful, but is no priority.

The dragon - dismounting animation is completely useless, but dismounted and firing is very good. So is the mounted Dragoon's animations. This way we would have at least three western dragoon animations for use for several factions.

The musketeer - great for variety.

The reiter - because we need more and the horse is different than other mounts.

I'll use more posts because sometimes there are problems with too many GIFs and their presence is very useful.


French Units 4

French Front Rank Swordsman 16th C

I am not sure how many Poser files can be acquired. This is just in case. But an animation for western style infantry with a pistol is a must have in the game.



European Wars Part I

French Artillery 17th C, French Line Cavalry 17th C, French Musketeer Garde

All useful, the Guard Musketeer is only for France, but the unit is so iconic for this period it would be a sin not to have it - if we can.

Danish Units II 2

Danish Caliverman 16th C

Alternative animation useful for various light infantry units.



Swedish1

Livonian Reiter 16th C

Not many rider & horse animations are necessary, but this one could give us more variety in the XVIth century where very few are in use.



Swedish4

Swedish Musketeer 17th C

A musketeer in a grey uniform - will be useful because not all models should use faction specific uniforms.

Russia 1

Russian Archer HM

No fight animation, but I need one animation for mounted infantry - it will ride a horse when fighting.



Russia 3

Russian Arquebusier 16th C, Russian Caliverman 16th C

Only one is necessary, but it is nice to have a choice. A handgunner in chainmail useful for Russia, Georgia, Circassia, so pretty important.

Good I found those, because they have fight animations.





Russia 6

Russian Front Rank Swordsman 17th C, Russian Feudal Archer 16th C

First very useful, second just like above - for mounted infantry.





Russia 8

Russian Oprichnik Light Cavalry 16th C

Great for Oprychnyki, but useful for mounted infantry because it has a mount and a rider in the same animation.

[cegorach]

All right I believe it ends the list.

I hope it will cover all or almost all needs. Now let's hope at least some can be found.

If not those GIFs are there to show what I am looking for.


What the list is lacking is Gallowglass animations and black-skinned handgunners with fight animations.

Second hopefully can be made from different animations.

@zweihander, @Stazi if you have any ideas please post them in a way which allows reviewing the animations - I think it can save a lot of time.

Here is a gallowglass made by Balam-Agab, or we can just use the unit animation of doppelsoldner.

I think the German Front Rank Swordsman 16th C from this pack is better than the French one. What do you think of it?

Looks good to me. If it has pistol animations it would be acceptable.

I prefer the Musquetaire du Roi from this pack, what do you think of it?

You are right, the pack is newer so possibly easier to find Poser files.

Do you mean we should keep it grey in game or give it faction colour?

I'd like to have him in grey, possibly with a small detail in a faction specific colour - it would be nice to have a grey musketeer and a detail such as a scarf or a feather would be enough to make him look different.

Do you like the Austrian Reiter 16th C from this pack, with a lighter colour armour and a closed helm?

[/QUOTE]

If we find space. We have a black horse thanks to LOTR animations so when choosing horse & man animations I am trying to find something different - not brown, black or grey.

Is the Dutch Musketeer only for Neatherland or for various use? If it is for various I suggest the German Musketeer 17th C from here instead of the Dutch one.

I'd like to have the Dutch one, but the German can be used as well. We will see how much space is left after all this, and which files are possible to find.

And I also suggest the Papal States Pikeman 17th C and Papal States Musketeer 17th C from here, give their uniform faction colour and use them as various late era Pikeman and Musketman.

Yes, it is very good and can replace current PMTW pikeman/musketeer animation with a hat.

Here is a gallowglass made by Balam-Agab, or we can just use the unit animation of doppelsoldner.

If he provides the files that would be great.

Some questions and suggestions:

Russian Arquebusier 16th C, Russian Caliverman 16th C

Only one is necessary, but it is nice to have a choice. A handgunner in chainmail useful for Russia, Georgia, Circassia, so pretty important.

Good I found those, because they have fight animations.

I prefer and 2nd one.
