New unit proposition! (totally awesome)

[Thotiate]

Okay, now how nobody has actually been museful enough to render such a concept intelligible escapes my frail awareness, but seriously, the idea presented henceforth is the product of, a rather magic, recent dream.

Okay, now, one question:
What's more bad ass than Elephants (with or without rocket launchers) yet not as (strangely) erotic as Rhino...but would still, in all fairness, be considered more bad ass than a Rhino in a one on one?....

*Blatantly....a god damn HIPPO.

Were you educated upon the fact that Hippo were seldom, if ever employed in ye olde military endevours? Do you know the reason why?....because our smelly medieval ancestors were absolutely thick as bricks. That's why.

Take it from me, this modification...no...the total war series in general is seriously missing something very spectacular and utterly fundamental to its core, and I bet you think you know what I am going to say...a plate-mailed Hippo unit mounted with javalin throwing men-at-arms? HA! Any fool can dream about such things...nay my good friend, my wicked concept is thus:

Plate-mailed Hippo unit that incorporates flying animation mounted with a god-damn laser cannon that can reduce the walls of the citadel to pure rubble in a matter of seconds!!!!!!

Sorry, I'll wait for you to change your underwear...all done? Good.

Now I cannot mod this myself as I lack the recquired knowledge and skills to do so...so please somebody answer to my noble and just call..for there is work to be done. God's work.

Thank you.

<strides powerfully out of room>

*The answer is obvious I know...please, nobody think I am in any way making a stab at the intelligence of others...it's mere sales pitch.

Armor plated laser rhinos?

[dstarsboy]

Well... armor plates existed back then... and so did rhinos... sounds feesible! Do it! Do it!

rhinos didnt exist back then, are you mad?!?!?

[Skooma Addict]

rhinos didnt exist back then, are you mad?!?!?

And hippos did? But seriously, the first hippo sighting wasn't until 1294 by a french explorer named Pierre de Blanc. After cataloging the species he brought a specimen back to Paris. He later made love to it. :hmmm:

So the implementation of laser hippos would most likely be in the late era campaign as this better fits the historical record. Possibly even a guild of some sort to allow recruitment. Maybe even an emerging faction. The MacHippo clan!

U guys have no idea how big an erection I got of this idea.

That is disturbing for many, many reasons...

[eggthief]

sorry for that, sometimes my naughty alter ego comes out.

this ( ) big?

guess again.

[Bacon!]

i think there is a cheat in age of empires that gives you a flying purple hippo with a funny hat

EDIT: YAY 300th post :sparta:

[Thotiate]

I know you're all excited about the aforementioned prospect, I'd be rather concerned for your gaming integrity were you not so....

But guys, seriously, let's stop fidgeting about and focus ourselves upon this very relevant innovation.

I need someone to mod this for me..or at least help me mod it myself.

And another thing, quit with the Rhino talk, Rhino's are indeed moderately bad-ass animals and receive all due respect when it comes to battlefield considerations, but ultimately of course this is not the beast in question, nay, 'tis the mighty Hippo unit we seek. With úber amour. And laser cannons. That can fly.

PM me if you need anymore information. (Potential stats etc)

[thdot44]

if you really want this thing modded you shouldve posted it in the sub-mod section.

[Barser]

you got 1 out of 10000 chance that someone makes you a hippo to this game... Would be funny though.

[strife1013]

I agree with Barser

[Brewskii]

well in that case why don't we give the english knights dinosaurs to ride on?
