Mod: Djinnibad - Nomads and Genies

[Endoperez]

First version of a Djinnibad Nomad.

EDIT:

No hands/weapon yet, but I haven't decided how to do those yet. Pure MS Paint while waiting for work to really start, with Prince of Persia and screenshots of Dom units as reference. He's currently about 25 pixels high, so I think he might be few pixels higher than most humans. That will be fixed once I can play with this stuff back home and actually read the modding manual and test the unit.

my nomad stats:


#newmonster 2807
#spr1 ""
#spr2 ""
#name "Nomad warrior"
#descr "The nomadic inhabitants of the deserts have these warriors as first line of defense. Every male nomad has a sword, without sword no pride, and will defend what belongs to him if needed. Nomads day to day live is ruled by their own sheiks, who are adviced by nomad wazirs. Nomads consider all genies sacred, and above the human sheiks are the genies and their nobles who rule the nomad sheiks as a king rules his lords."
#hp 11
#size 2
#ressize 2
#prot 0
#mor 9
#mr 12
#enc 2
#str 11
#att 10
#def 11
#prec 10
#mapmove 2
#ap 14
#gcost 10
#rcost 0
#armor "Daraq"
#armor "Turban"
#armor "Desert Garb"
#weapon 800 -- Scimitar
#wastesurvival
#end

reasoning: I see the nomads as people living of the land, a hard land. That way they are at bit between the usually city people and barbarians. This accounts for HP 11 and strength 11.
All Nomads learn to fight: def 11 (still thinking of going to 11 att too)
Less organisation: morale 9
high MR: just because this is a highly magical nation, it just rubs of on the nomads.

Those nomads seem pretty superhuman. Stronger, tougher, more endurance, faster, more skilled, better magic res,.. not by much it's true but still, they're flat out better than your usual dom3 humans.

[Aezeal]

hmm are they faster, maybe that should be lower and I didn't know I did anything with endurance

what are the normal stats for those 2

for the rest well.. barbs are stronger too and morale is lower

They have to be stronger .. they only get low grade material, they live in the desert, they are no pampered city inhabiting dogs

[Sombre]

Normal human enc is 3.

Normal human AP is 12.

Since a lot of the good modders seem to look in here now and then I have another question: can you arrange in which order the troops appear on the recruit bar?

(I'd like nomads first, then my 2 sacreds and lastly the HUGE roc)

[Endoperez]

Yes; it's the order in which you list #addreccom and #addrecunit. Any units available from sites are always added last, though, so if the Roc isn't site-spesific and even one of the sacreds is, you can't do it.

[Aezeal]

ah so cap only units are always last..
hmm one of them is so I guess then I'll do nomads, roc, sacred

[Aezeal]

btw endo:
I really liked the nomad warrior, keep up the good work if you figure out how to give them a scimitar (you could copy the one the jann has?) I'll add them to my mod file.

Think you can do the cavalry too?

What do you think about the discussion about stats?

What do you think about the roc?

PS I attached what I have in sprites and .dm file so far so those interested or working with me on this can check it out if they want.
