alpha123 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I really like those Enrique. I'd say gold for the chariot details.But wait, I thought the Mauryans only had a champion chariot. Do they get a hero chariot and citizen soldier chariot also?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no citizen-soldier chariot (only the Persians have that). The "three ranks" should probably just be the champion chariot's variations. They all look great though. One thing: Let's not put player color on the wheel spokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrique Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Oops, I misunderstood the champion thing and thought that they increase their rank to champion or "elite".I'll remove then the two crossed axes and shield of the variation I thought for the "elite" rank and remove also the playercolor on wheel spokes.I'l follow the setup of the persian chariots to add the driver and archer. But I have no clue how to animate the wheels or the guy holding the parasol :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still slightly confused about the hero chariot though; will Acharya Chanakya have a chariot?On a similar vein, in the Mauryan Civ Profile it says for Ashoka the Great:Mount: Armoured war elephant.Currently he's a cavalry lancer, is that temporary or does the civ profile need to be updated?

Enrique Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Perhaps parasol guy can use one of the the pikeman idles.I've been trying to get a chariot working ingame using the same armature as the persian cavalry chariots (with modified versions of their .xml) without success.I'm getting "too much objects to convert" with an empty called "twowheeler" that's present on pers chariots.When deleting it, i get: "failed requirement: recognised skeleton structure" error.The armature I used has both wheels correctly assigned to it's respective bone.Could someone tell me how to get them ingame? or has the time to add them?Blend file:chariots with rig.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrique Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 I finally got it working reusing Pureon's persian rig and animations.I'll make the chariots a little bit bigger and try to fix the (reocurring) playercolor transparency texture issue: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satchitb Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I'm not sure the umbrellas were only for protection from the shade. Ancient statues, engravings and popular depictions that I have seen all seem to suggest that the chhatris (umbrellas) were made of a harder substance (perhaps metal) and protected the warrior from arrows. To give you a stylised example: https://www.google.com/search?num=10&hl=en&site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1366&bih=664&q=mahabharat&oq=mahabharat&gs_l=img.3..0l10.574.2662.0.2842.10.8.0.2.2.1.294.1307.2j3j3.8.0...0.0...1ac.1.jIQcvjJohws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmo Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) Well, I think these umbrellas are too small to give useful protection against arrows and spears, since arrows and spears show the usual ballistic behaviour. See http://www.uwgb.edu/...s/kinematics/4/ --> Draw a picture. It would protect some place behind the chariot, though.

Mythos_Ruler Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 You guys should add these pony tails to the horses.I agree wholeheartedly. All the horses need new textures and props, actually. Right now they use textures from other civs. It's one of the loose ends we need to clean up for the Mauryans.

Pallav Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 How about making the simple Mauryan chariot with a single rider and horse? The riders usually stood in the chariots unlike chariots used by other civs. However, after upgrading them to scythe chariots, they would have two horses and riders, of which one rider would be the warrior who would remain standing wielding weapons while the other drove the chariot? Add scythes to the wheels and u`re done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
