Chariots on the campaign map

[Lentonius]

Okay, i have done some looking around and would like the strat map general for persia in Pantokrator Hellas to be a chariot, preferably with then the general in the chariot. I know persian elites rode chariots into battle but there gives no hint wheteher this sort of stuff can be done for the campaign map...

If anyone knows about this, it would help and maybe this could make a good tutorial.

I very highly doubt youll be able to put a chariot onto the strat map.

Yes, it's possible but would look pretty stiff.
First, you need to install a chariot body on a regular soldier's. You can animate the chariot's wheels by making new animations. BUT you cannot animate the horses.

Actually now that i think about it, with some really handy new animations it is possible to have the horses move. I doubt if itll look perfect and the wheels wouldnt turn but yes it is possible. This is assuming that animations can be editted for the strat map on a unit for unit basis. The other problem is that then the chariot will be centered around the horses. So when it would turn the chariot would turn around the horses rather than the other way around.

The thing you really should watch out for is how big itll be. The chariot will be much bigger than a normal person. It may be too big to work well on the strat map.
