Some New Units For A Mod

[Razor1952]

There are lots of units and skins out there on the usual sites. I downloaded a Myrmidon unit yesterday , very nice.

BTW you can just change skins using a 2-d editor (textures).


There is free 3dmax like program called gmax from discreet, unfortunately it can't export the files only import them.(using the Vercingetorix tool) But you could use it , save in gmax format and send to a friend with 3dmax who could then change it into a CAS file.

I'm struggling with this at present , having dug out my 3dmax 4.2 version, this version sometimes works and sometimes not.

If I can get things to work properly then I'd be happy to help you.

BTW look at TWcenter.com and stratcommander.com for more modding advice. One of those contains a good tute on 3d max other tutes are here on the org .

If you've never used a 3-d modelling program its quite a steep learning curve, I reckon you'd have to spend 10-20 hrs on the tutorials first before you would get a reasonable expertise.

Hoggy wrote a tutorial on modeling, there are also some on basic stuff like head swapping etc.

Hi, what about a new spartan unit (not hoplite) but forms up to make a shield wall thrusting spears over the top. I love spartans but feel the spartan unit needs to be more flexible for close hand to hand combat.

i think they are good already.

btw the new mods are planning to take away the spartan units, because they weren't as powerful anymore.
