Now this isn't exactly a request--it's more a technical question, seeing as you clearly know something about skeletons: is it possible to change the point of impact of a melee weapon? or is it hard-coded somehow?

as it is, I am trying to create a pikeman, who does not require a phalanx*, but who can still use a pike tactically to keep the enemy at a distance. so far, everything is OK: I've disabled the walking, I figured out a way of simulating people getting impaled on the pike tips, and well, almost everything the pikeman could actually do. That is, until I get to the part when it's time to engage in combat itself: the soldiers do absolutely nothing, and have no effect whatsoever, till the enemy opposite them men themselves is ~1-1.5 meters away, well inside the point of the pike (i.e. safe from being poked in RL). If I can get them to do damage on contact with the pike heads, my job would be complete. If not, at least a stab was taken at the problem.



* I know, quixotic, but I have my reasons for trying.

Thank you very much rarity !

You helped us a lot with your work.

I modded the Gaul priests a bit :

I added them a chainmail , a checkered pattern and I whitened their beard so they look older a bit.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I just can't believe how detailed their actually are.

I like your models very much !

Woah, they do look good with the chainmail, nicely done.

Nice work +rep

Thank you kindly friend, much appreciated

Interesting question, as I have wondered about it as well. I tried to find, but there doesn't seem to be a way to make this happen as far as I'm aware of. The length of the weapons doesn't matter much, as they only activate the attacking animations in a decent distance. Would be great to have a way to change this.

[Gen.jamesWolfe]

thanks for the answer.

would it be good if we continued this by PM? I don't wish to derail the thread.

in the meantime: nice work!

So, now this is my first request: If you'd be so kind, Rarity, I would like to have a mule!

I'm not the first one who looks for an alternative draft animal (oxen, mules, donkeys etc.), but it seems that so far horses, camels, and elephants (and wargs, fellbeasts and some other crazy stuff) are the only possibilities for RTW.
Iberia: Total War, which was supposed to have mules to draw the supply wains, also has horses only.

[Raritу]

I know I have the request for the Bithynian Snake Hurler, but I came across this not too long ago.
The Julii Hastati and Principes are missing their shoulder guards and chain mail with them!

The other factions have them.

Would you be able to fix this? I'm surprised there is not a fix for it already. There is no need for UI's.

I believe it's just how they're supposed to be, to make the factions variations. For example other Roman Houses' hastati and principes have shoulderpads, while Julii's and Rebels' don't. Same thing goes for some Barbarian units.

It's just a trick with Alpha Channel though. Here is the 'fixed' Julii's Hastati and Principes, so they now have the shoulderpads, if you want.

Great work Rarity !

Wonderful. You are back, better than ever!

Heh, I'm starting to miss modelling human units now

Here's my first attempt on the Holsteiner. I'm not really familiar with modeling horses and those alike (despite being a pony and all that ) at this stage, so please don't expect something exceptional

I need this unit remake so I don't have to see Hoplite in Carthaginian anymore it very important to me to have the unit done
Subject: Carthaginian Scared Band
Aspect: Unit making
General informations:

Unit making: Elite unit of Carthage fighting in shield wall using spear
Equipments bronze cruisass, bronze shield, short spear,(let's say we use sword as decoration) bronze graves and I think they got a red shirt(this make a nice color mix)

And I trying to find a way to make short spear phalanx but for some reason my unit always appear to carry long pike after I added the phalanx ability for them, If by chance you know how to solve this problem pls help me

[Raritу]

I could provide the model in ms3d and the rusichi body textures

That should be useful, thank you.

but you should add RSII extra armor parts-like head armor for example- on them can you do it?

I'm not quite understand this.

It wont work because those formations atributes cant be changed. Best solution you got is phalanx+short pike. Your hoplites will keep formation and fight with short spears. With short pike only they will have short spears but the formation will colapse on contact. Look for Aradan's EDU Guide for more information.
If you remove both and your unit is not holding a spear then you have a skeleton problem.

Dude,what the heck is up with his crotch in the third pic?!?!?!?!

I thinking about making them a spearman in shield wall
that the best possibility now for me

I also plan to move the old Greek Scared band to Thebes and request Rarity remake for my Macedon Hypaspist

[vietanh797]

I even set it as spear but some how they pull out long pike from nowhere >"<

[Legio]

Very good, Soarin'.

Try giving them short pike attribute as stated in my last post. Post your EDU entry here if you want me to have a better view.

Very good, Soarin'.

Didn't I tell you to add short_pike attribute? I guess I talked to myself then.

Just need Cinuz to confirm and I'll move on to make UI cards and upload it.
