PERFECT SPRITE EXTRACTION

Here is another one I did late last night. Rohan Banner Carrier. I used bits and pieces from some of my other units and used the Van Hero as the base unit.

Foodstamp can't be stopped! He's a graphic making fool now!

Very nice work. So when's the Lord of the Rings mod coming out?

Just kidding....or am I?

I originally was going to add Rohan as a rare magic site. But it looks like that function is broke at the moment, your only able to add commanders and units to new magic sites that can be recruited by the original owner of the site.

That being said. LOTR is very low magic. So I am having a hard time coming up with enough units and ideas for mages for a total nation based on Rohan.

So far I have done graphics for:

Captain of Rohan
Rider of Rohan
Rohan Banner Carrier
Shield Maiden
(All these names are subject to change)

I am going to do a few more and maybe start working on a nation, but I am not sure it is going to be something that would please the Dom3 community because it will be such a low magic mod and will probably lack variety in units. But for my massive singleplayer games It should be fun to play as them or encounter them. I can't wait to see Rohan vs Master of Magic Halflings <3.

My overall goal is to add every nation I can possibly dream of in the early era and just play singleplayer dominions like woah

If you don't make a full Rohan nation they could be an awesome cavalry corps as part of a larger nation (not necessarily LOTR themed). They're lovely graphics, I'm actually quite excited by them!

Yeah, I also noticed this.

I made some Wyvern Knights, and hoped to have them guard a Castle Wyvern, but it didn't work. Still, it'd be nice to have several ideas ready for the day when we CAN mod magic sites. A "50 new magic sites, and defenders!" mod would be nice.

I am looking forward to the day we can add custom sites like that. I have so many little ideas that do not warrant a nation, and I don't want to squash the existing site units or pop types.

Start modding them, then. Or at least write them down and keep the paper somewhere safe! I've forgotten most of my little ideas.

Once I even wanted to do a total conversion of DomII: Ice Age, with all kinds of tribals running wild (I made my avatar for that project), Jotunheim restricted to Niefel theme, Man restricted to Tuatha, etc. I abandoned it when I read about plans for Dom3, but I had written all kinds of stuff down on some papers I haven't seen in years.

When I get an idea for something new, I normally type it up in a text file and put it in a folder called dom3notes. I come back to the ideas eventually and if they still seem interesting to me, I start working on them

.

btw, your tutorial has really gotten my graphic modding off the ground. It takes me about 5 minutes to do a simple graphic that was taking me 30 minutes to do before. Before I even start on a graphic now, I butcher the base unit up into reusable parts and save it in a file, makes things a lot faster, easier to color through shading tools etc, and the results look really great.

Meant to reply to this earlier but so sore so I will keep it brief. Games Workshop has really developed and fleshed out several army lists for LoTR that include 'casty' type commanders. You could check them out at least for ideas to help you out with a Rohan nation.

Foodstamp · #10 May 2nd, 2007, 09:18 PM

Thats a good idea. Do you have a link available to those army listings?
