Like RAT SCUM INFANTRY!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!! (spear, shield, poor moral, aprox 100 in unit)
Hamster Foot Soldiers (Sword, Shield, Thrown Thing)
Mice Archers

And please post the faction list soon.

I'll watch and see how this gos. It seems like a really good (and fun) idea

Isaac, I like your idea and with the mod unit list, I'm gonna include animals using the human skeleton and being used as infantry! Hope you like what you see Ferret!

llamas are just like camels so we shouldn't heve a problem there. But with most unit mods it's just the skins but for animals we need whole new models but not skeketons.

I'm going to try and create Rat Scum Infantry Models now but I wanted an R on the shields and I wanted to mod from Roman City Milita but I took a look at the texture and the shield texture is just a quarter mirrored 4 times. So I'll have to modd a hoplite or something like that because they have whole shield textures I think.

I will inform you when I've finished the model and whole unit of Rat Infantry with some screenies.

llamas and camels missile units? (they spit)

Fantastic, ideas for all the units are still welcome, the list is by no means final. Isaac, love the idea for rodent infantry! have onagers that fire cheese with mice as officers and the workers! For infantry, the animals should be able to walk upright or stand upright, so no horse infantry or anything like that, bears and rodents and penguins or anything like thatis great! Is that ok Isaac?
We need to do faction logos soon, does anybody know how to create, Edit them? I'm gonna post some more unit lists! Isaac what do you think of the current ones. Kreig is starting to reskin horses for the zebra units!

That's great. I'm haveing a few minor problems with improting animations but no real problem. I still need to work out how to edit vertexes on units but 3d studio MAX Is a bit different than the programs i'm used to using. Do any of you know where the RTW unit.txt stuff is? I'm trying to edit some units but I don't know where they are to open.

Are they in Pak files?

Heavy Squirrel Infantry
80 per unit, spears, shields, fight in four ranks, good morale, can sap, defend well vs rats

Guinea Pig Trackers
swords, smalle shields, light armour (like chainmail), short bows, fast, can sap, average morale, 80

Hedge Hog Heavy Pikemen

pikemen, good morale, 100, medium shiels-damn good armour due to spikes, no sapping (too big and lumbering for tunnels)

Mole Medium Infantry
Can can deploy anywhere (try that out), 80, armour, swords, shields, average morale, may run amok(their blind eh?).

Gerbil Cavalry
fast moving, javelins, shields small, no armour, swords.

Mice Ballistae(have a wild guess)

Hamster Legionaries

how bout it folks?
