These are alright.
I dislike how the first one is just a blue dummy though.

And how they've been plastered with glow as a substitute to shading.

Awesome idea, konoshi! I hadn't given the dropships much thought.

Thanks for the comments, guys :) Glad you're liking it

Maybe you could make a Trojan Horse Acrab.


You took the words out of my mouth. They look amazing, I can see you put alot of work into them.

What is you definition of shading? They are a solid color. No shading.

Awesome!
A medival Times looking Faction!
This IS a faction, right?

Hope the final version is awesome!

Unless someone has already said this, in which case I apologise for being too lazy to read the thread, this is actually based off Roman leigionaries, although the style of some of the units looks more like high medieval or late medieval, which is a little bit confusing.
I also wonder what a sorry state that society must have gotten into for people to mistake Latin for ancient greek and/or medieval europe.
Egad.

I've done glow? What?

And they are shaded, perhaps my monitor is dark? They aren't shaded heavily because I wanted them to look bright, Legio Machina is an imposing force on the battlefield. I could probably go a little darker, though, looking back.

I know the Machinator is pretty much just a Dummy re-colour :P Don't worry, I had intentions of changing it. That guy is how this force started (testing the colour scheme, trying out the Dummy's upright posture - it works really well for such a uniform, precision based force), so don't be hatin'! Everyone has to start somewhere, right?

And I'm not really too bothered about keeping too close to Roman history. The Hastati is probably my favourite to use, and I admit I just wanted an awesome Spartan style guy, he stays, he's cool. Names can be changed for accuracy if it's really a problem.

I'll definitely beef up the single-shot weapons, though. They aren't too effective against armour, so that's probably why they seem underpowered. They can kill the Soldier-Light guys in a couple of shots, but I think I was aiming for the head (probably as a result of them being underpowered :P).


Thanks for all the feedback! I'll start work on them again at some point, make a lot of changes to make them really stand out. I was wondering though - Can you attach actors to actors? I'd love to have a mounted unit!

Well, limbs Are technically actors.
So I'm Guessing, yes.
Code:
AddActor = Arm
   InstanceName = Soldier Arm FG A
   AddToGroup = Coalition Parts
   Mass = 7
   Sharpness = 1
   HitsMOs = 1
   GetsHitByMOs = 1
   SpriteFile = ContentFile
      FilePath = Base.rte/Actors/Coalition/ArmFGA.bmp
   FrameCount = 5
   SpriteOffset = Vector
         and Wayyyyyyyyyyy More code.

Roy-G-Biv, stop talking. Seriously.

Also, to the mod creator: It is in fact possible.

AddInventory = AHuman
CopyOf = Whatever

The actor will "hold" whatever its inventory is, and the held infantry is capable of shooting, as well.

Thanks, Grif! That's a relief, mounted troops will looks pretty damn cool.

Main post has been updated! No updated rte, since there have only been minor changes. Tell me what you think of the new Machinator, though!

Great mod man you should make the Aquilifer a brain unit since in the battlefield if the flag bearer was taken out the battle was considered a defeat (right?) If nothing else its a good idea

Uh, you know, that wouldnt be attaching, that would be holding.
Attaching as in "AddAttachable" is not possible, but it can be simulated via holding. It brings in some problems with it.

This is a fantastic mod I think, the actors and weapons arent overpowered so its fun fighting the default cpu actors and they all look pretty cool to boot, hope to see more.

I'm having some annoying trouble with an ACrab... the legs keep sinking into the ground! They are outstretched and look fine in the air and in the actor viewer, though. It seems when I moved the foot Y vector up it helped, but then the legs were all bent up and it didn't walk too well.

I've seen some great long-legged actors in other mods, what's the secret? :P How do I stop it sinking into the ground?
