Kyoujin's Spartans [release .99]

[Kyoujin]

Included are two models, a skin for each, gloss, the best Spartan unit cards out there and a comprehensive readme.

Thanks go to Andriyko for the model, Kanaric for the unit cards and Meretrix for the skin I built these upon.

This is the final release unless my PS skills take a drastic step for the better. I'd like to do some more work on the horizontal plume but there just isn't anything I can do at the moment.

EDIT: Removed

[Kyoujin]

And for those who missed the creation thread, here's what they look like.

very good job, are not accuarate historically but i highly prefer em to the 200 bc skins

[AlCord]

Nice, now I use them instead of ATG's spartans without the lambda (sorry ATG )

[j4k3]

impressive!

[sabaku_no_gaara]

beautifull

[eiffryn]

They do look like the best out there, though I'd better mention that the comp. readme and unit cards don't seem to be with the zip, any chance of uploading them on this thread, thanks for the good work.

[sabaku_no_gaara]

here they are in normal formation

[The White Knight]

Hey! They look great. :happy

Did you actually add a new animation to the unit? They are holding the spear different now as far as I can see in sabaku's last picture.

[BassV2]

they look great but it looks like their shield is made of cloth :blink is it supposed to be like that?

Well, I downloaded and examined the .rar and everything seems to be there. Perhaps your download was corrupted somehow. Try downloading it again.

Is it easy to do or not? I saw a thread discussing overhead phalanx animations but it didnt say how to modify it. :sad

this solves that problem. i have highlited what to change again. don&#39;t copy paste this since the text files are sensitive to tabs and spaces. also this is my version so the kanaric skins are installed aswell.

i can&#39;t stress out enough that you have to type in those changes yourself.

just open the textfiles press ctrl + f to search and search for spartan. then change the highlited things i would upload the 2 textfiles but i have other mods installed aswell.

[OG Grenadier]

Also if you want them to move and deploy quickly (the Spartans ability to perform complex pre battle manouvers at moments notice was legendary), use fs_fast_javelinman They were modestly armoured after all. Not like the lumbering Armored Hoppies.

[sabaku_no_gaara]

thank you for that tip (if i remember correctly you where the one to come up with this entire overhand idea and changing textfiles weren&#39;t you? there is no limit to my gratitude for that)
