No camelry ?
 

Hi,

First I want to thank the developpers for such a great game, I have been playing Dom 3 for a month now and I'm amazed to the deep variety in everything.

I noticed some thing though : there are no units on camels ? We have people riding all sort of creatures but not a single dromedary in all the bestiary. How can this be possible ? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

We could have various units : light bedouin like warriors on swift dromedaries, heavy cataphracts dromedaries like the ones used by parthians and Tien Chi could have archers atop the big bactrian camels.
What do you think ?

PS : Any plan to make an Arabian Nights themed nations ?

Thanks again for your game !

What a great first post there. Now I want camels and a 1001 Arabian Nights nation!

Hmm, I wonder if it's possible to give a unit a selective Fear that only affects certain kinds of units? (So the camels can spook horse cavalry with their scent.)

Animal Awe? It wouldn't work on cavalry, unfortunately.

Seem like something that could be easily modded in. All you need is a base camel sprite to modify and add some different riders and barding to.

I've thought a bit about Arabian Nights, but I have no immediate plans for an arab nation. Philistines, Canaanites and Israelites is up next.

Camels are cool though http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I'm in shock. No camels! An outrage I say!

Re: No camelry ?
 

I want 2 goblins with short bows on the back of a camel. And the unit should be overpriced and underperform. That is all.

Hey that sounds like the moose!

I know KO likes the more off-path races but really 1001 nights would be so much better than philistines

Camels, genies, magic, flying carpets etc you could make 3 great and different races for each era if wanted
