Ice Age Era - WIP

[Scenariole]

Welcome to my Ice Age Era faction! This is currently a WIP mod to be part of the Magitech. Currently this new mod will have about 7 more new units and about 5 more new buildings.

Helpers: Praise them and give them thanks for their generosity
Archmage
Fluffy

Also in future please PM me the links to the blend files. we don't want people taking our models before it is even released...

Units: The Brackets is what it is equivalent to and the [ ] is the size of the model by width and length.

Hunter (Archer/Battlemage) [1x1] Nearly done -Archmage- Just needs unwraping and texturing and few fixes
Spear man (Swordsman) [1x1] Nearly done -Archmage- Just needs unwraping and texturing and few fixes
Stone Thrower (Axe Thrower) [1x1]
Sabre Tooth Tiger (Horseman/Drake Rider) [2x1] or [1x2] Just like the horseman
Mammoth (Battle Machine/Behemoth) [2x2] *NEEDS to be resized*
Gatherer (Worker) [1x1]
Rhino (Even stronger Horseman) [2x1] or [1x2] Just like the horseman

Base (Castle and Farm in 1) *Big Tent with spikes* Done Elim
Camp (Barracks) *Make sure this is modeled big! Like the top of the tent is taller than the swordsman's height*
Mammoth Pen (Barracks for making Mammoth or food)
Rage Cage (Barracks for Rhino and Tiger, btw I like this name it rhymes )
Mountain (Defence Tower, it attacks with snow... Very weird huh?) [2x2]
NEW: Fire (Just something that provides sight lol, its a campfire) [2x2] This is also a blacksmith!

We will need an icon artist if anyone is good at them. Other than that, other unit modeleres will be grateful.

Expect this to be done to be at top quality standard!

lol i don't wanna be on a team , no offense , but i have a project going on =)

[Scenariole]

Well this will be a solo project where people are helping me

[Fluffy203]

yea i don't mind helping at all 

[Scenariole]

I need to wait for archmage to animate the hunter models now.

[Fluffy203]

i would start moving on , don't let someone hold you up , keep moving don't stop

[Scenariole]

I done the xml's already lol. I just need to wait for the models

[Fluffy203]

can you not model at all? what else do you need i'll see what i can do real quick so hurry

[Scenariole]

Animation

Animation of the mamoth Like walking, attacking and dieing. I think I may be asking too much...

The only thing I can make in blender is to keep that default cube lol.

[Fluffy203]

you really wanna start trying to model something and i'm talking about the models what models not animations , i don't feel like rigging a bone system tonight
 

[Scenariole]

well thats ok. ill just wait for archmage to finish his animations

[Fluffy203]

ok i'm off then later 

[Scenariole]

You have fun there

I will work on my flash game while I am waiting

[-Archmage-]

It might be a few days before I"m done with the hunter.

you know, you totally need a dinosaur! T-REX ALL THE WAY!

[Mark]

you know, you totally need a dinosaur! T-REX ALL THE WAY!

I wouldn't go with a dinosaur, but you could have an Auroch (A giant bison), or a giant bear (Or cave bear, a brown bear up to 12 feet tall on hind legs, could swipe with his paws for an attack, or could bite), or a smilodon (Saber-toothed cat, giant lion with banana-sized curved teeth).  These are all prehistoric creatures.  And I could think of more if you like, but what I would really like to know is whether or not you will accept units that intermingle them-Like a mammoth rider who throws rocks or spears, or a giant rhino with riders (concept).  How about it?

[-Archmage-]

Ok.
I'm going to animate a different unit, the hunter is driving me nuts, no actually it's my Blender..........for some reason it just undid all my work turned the model dark black, and froze.........
I'm going to animate a different unit for now.

[ElimiNator]

I will help you senariole give me some thing to model or animate, I can do your Icons too.  

Edit: perhaps the hunter?

[-Archmage-]

I'm doing the hunter.

[Loronal]

I'm up for this. I can animate model and unwrap just not texture. I can xml to and do gae

[ElimiNator]

I thought you were doing something else?

[-Archmage-]

No I'm working on the hunter right now.

[Scenariole]

Elim you can make the model for the sabre tooth tiger Or if you find animating hard, try to come up with a "base" for the ice age men. Since I do not know what they look like... And its got to be made of wood and fur kinda like a tent.

Pheonix, what can you model? I will post the buildings on the first post.

Mark, thanks for those ideas

Wooden darts were known at least since the Middle Paleolithic (Schöningen, Torralba, Clacton-on-Sea and Kalambo Falls). While the atlatl is capable of casting a dart well over 100 meters, it is most accurately used at distances of 20 meters or less. Seven spears were found in the Schöningen 13 II-4 layer, dating from about 400,000 years ago and thought to represent activities of Homo heidelbergensis. The atlatl is believed to have been in use by Homo sapiens since the Upper Paleolithic (c. 30,000 BC). Most stratified European finds come from the Magdalenian (late upper Palaeolithic). In this period, elaborate pieces, often in the form of animals, are common. The earliest known example is a 27,000 year-old atlatl made of reindeer antler and found in France.

Improvements:
Fire-hardened spears, domestication (allows mammoths), tracking (improves sight range)

idea: instead of "pre-history," why dont you make them more into a "people of the north"? (i dont mean the Norsemen, that's already been done), like a land-that-time-forgot feel. this would make it chronologically possible for the tech and magic to fight them. They should focus mostly on hit-and-run, cuz they are technologically inadequate.

like this idea?
