Unused animal as units

Post by MrTroodon »

I maked this topic to see the different opinions of the people about ¿What animals believe that they could be used as units?this due i think Paraworld have many animals(in my opinion)could be great units but for some reason they were not included in any clan :( So i start with apatosaurus,diplodocus and some ceratopsians cuold be pretty good units maybe diplo and apato as strong transporters or living fortress :D (like brachio but apato could be in Dragon Clan but diplo idk in what clan)

i like the idea. now that we know how to make those units controllable without them crashing the game and also know how to add stuff like transport baskets, we are rather free to do these things. what kind of units did you have in mind, concretely?

Well XD many ones apato can work in a similar way to salta transporter but like a better version of it(like dustrider with stego transporter and brachio transporter)ceratopsians in spite of being a famous group of dinosaurs we dont see many ones as units(only a titan and that bionic tricera)and can be great to see more of this dinos as units i have many other ideas but I want to stress is that there are not many mammals used as units well norsemen use more mammals than dinos but see units like gigantopithecus or smilodon can be nice to see

gigantopithecus and smilodon will be useable in the next mirage (2.5.8.). gigantopithecus will be the dragon clan's super lvl5 unit available from epoch 6 on. warden's NM eusmilus kennel will be replaced by a smilodon kennel. the dc also has an epoch 4 close combat battle triceratops, basically only a triceratops with a rider, dealing area damage, but no transport basket or any other buildup. we could easily replace that by another ceratopsian. which ceratopsian do you think would be best?

Good news to see taht 2 in the new mirage :D but also you dont think gigantopithecus can have a harvester unit also(like mammoth with norsemen) and for the ceratopsians idk hmmm maybe depending of the biome(like jungle for dragon clan or tundra for norsemen) is for what tribe it can be thats why i think apatosaurus would be great in dragon clan like a more strong salta but more slow hmmm acheluosaurus in dustriders and pentaceratops and styracosaurus in norsemen or dragon clan ¿also nobody was thinking in mosassaurus like the acuatic version of the titans?

1. gigantopithecus throws oil barrels and is a huge fighting king kong. we gave him a new, black texture and awesome fighting skills. we won't degrade him to a harvester. :D

2. the new DC epoch 4 unit, the "battle triceratops", is only available for DC at the time, and we have not planned adding ceratopsians to other tribes (yet). This may come in Mirage 2.5.9., but for now we must finish what we already have.

3. Apatosaurus, Seismosaurus, Saltasaurus.. I think this might be a bit much on the sauropods for DC..

4. the mosasaurus will be available for DR in Mirage 2.5.8.

5. So.. the triceratops for Dragon Clan, make a concrete suggestion, what would you like to see it replaced by? Achelousaurus, Pentaceratops, Styracosaurus, another ceratopsian? I'd be happy to give them a different ceratopsian instead of the triceratops, but which one?

I think you dont stend my with the gigantopithecus idea XD i dont whant to degrade it to a harvester i just have the idea he can be like the mammoth of the norsemen 1 combat unit and 1 harvester this because of its nature apes(like in ark survival evolved where giagnto is a powerfull combat creature but is good to harvest at the same time) are actually good doing this and yep i think dc clan already have many sauropods but this give me more ideas for norsemen and dustriders :D and good to see mosa will be in the mod strange is not already a unit in vainilla and hmmm i dont see achelousaur with norsemens or dragon clan maybe with dustriders hmmm maybe pentaceratops with norsemens and styracosaurus with dragon clan but this are just a few ideas i have i actually can make a list with all my ideas XD

oh, now i get it :) the main problem is that there are harvesting animations which not every unit can use, and there surely is not one for the gigantopithecus.
and i just talked to Henry, using another model but the triceratops is difficult for linking the models :( and also, he doesn't want it ^^ :|

1. giganotosaurus is a seas unit which you get when you level Tarna to level .
2. I don't know if we can use the baryonyx' swimming animation for the spino, if we can't, him just walking on the water would look a little unreal, don't you think? ;)

we can't add build ups to the spino, they don't work properly and look awful :( the durstiders will have a spino handler from epoch 6 onwards though, kind of like a raptor handler but with a (young and therefore small) spino
