Front rider still have some concepts.

For turret rider i can add a frontal attack thought it is very possible it won't reach the target due to high attack range of elephant (this should be reduced seriously). And also im thinking on delete the shield from the turret rider for avoid clipping thus this can be ignored, but i would like to have an attacking turret rider instead of an useless statue above elephant.

I wish to implement another elephant meele attack. maybe an stomp yet i need a concept of how it would be and the range should be 40 frames long.

 

In other notice, remember i've made some time ago some attacking animations for exclusive kind of assets, Some of them i consider most of them would require some adjustment while others just some small timing tweaks.

For example: Legion attacking.

We also have crossbowman (though is just a template name) @Stan` if han goes into EA and even if it doesn't, should i export also han crossbow animations to the core game?

Attacking for archers added.

In other talk: Looking this scene from HBO Rome had the idea of adding marching for rome as formations, yet i will have to reduce the speed of the formation.

Experimenting with walking and relax animations for remove the lightweight shield effect we have on the walking animations.

All this with the intention of soften the walking animations and less jogging side to side. (Gifs would really help me to show my point but my internet is reeeeally slow this days).

Walking:

Looks similar to hoplite stance but with a more relaxed right arm and an straight shield arm for better sync with walking animation.

Will replace the spearman standing too since it looks kinda stiff compared to hoplite soft stance;

If ya'll agreed.

In other talk: Archer attacking animation added for maurya elephant riders archers.

I love it! I've always thought that the relax stance looked stiff and unnatural...

Saddly the walking speed is too fast. The walking animation looks so good at half speed and in 0.5 speed.

Nice tweak on the m_pants mesh.

Thanks! i followed some celic references for match the end of the foot. It was weird having just a pipe as a leg going straight with the foot.

Proposal: Replace the idle of the javelinist with this for a more relaxed stance.

@wowgetoffyourcellphone thoughts on this idle for ready?

[Alexandermb]

another idle intended for roman triari or if we implement animation variant based on stance (Pasive, aggresive, hold ground, defensive).

Nothing wrong, remember sometime in history they used mercenaries as their legionaries and that was one of the factors that caused the debacle of the empire.
