Help with my Zulu scenario...

Hobbes · June 28, 2001, 15:03

I need a people.gif with african (black) people. I have found two already on the net, but they suck. I was wondering if there were any good ones?

Any other suggestions for my scenario would be cool!

thanks.

IIRC, the scenarios about Ethiopian independence (from the scenario contest) had good people graphics. There are good files out there...

Hobbes · June 28, 2001, 15:37

Well, I downloaded all the Eithiopian scenarios, the Haitian and Congo scenarios, as well as every other scenario with Africa in it and...... nothing. Oh well, I guess I'll have to pull a 'Nemo' and draw it all myself! Thanks anyway.

Really nice...

Well, let me see. The only thing I have is this.

It´s a Zulu unit from one of my actual projects (I do this together with ... Others

). It is a *.gif file, but made as *.bmp for use with ToT. I also don´t know if this will be okay, becouse I dont know, how the rest of your units look like.

Wow, AroSch! I think I know what he is for!

AroSch · June 29, 2001, 06:40

Yes, I think you´re right, Hendrik.

@Hobbes: Ups, f***. I should read more attentively. You are looking for people.gif but I told you somthing about zulu units... Sorry. No Idea where you can get african people.gif.

I'll check my file collection this evening. If I have the people file I was thinking about, I'll post it here.

Really nice unit Arne

AroSch · June 29, 2001, 13:20

"Really nice unit Arne

"

Thank you, Henrik. I´m afraid, you are looking more for somthing like this:

Am I right with that?

I hope, this little Landsknecht is nice for you too.

Henrik · June 29, 2001, 14:13

That is one good looking landsknecht graphic

I almost thought you'd forgotten

Are there more of them?

Marquis de Sodaq · June 30, 2001, 18:45

Okay, I remember the people being better than they are. This might even be what you found on the net. If not, it might be a starting point.

Arosch, dat is one nice Zulu!

did you adapt that from a photo?
So, Aro, what scenario would this Zulu fellow be for?

Marquis, those were the first african people I looked at, and I though, naaaah....

anywho, here is a sample of my Zulu units. start with the green soldiers, then the trained, then the veteran, and finally, those armed with guns (hope this works):

Thank you, Hobbes. Well, the answer is yes and no. Most I need a picture to know, how the units will look like. If you mean this with "adapt from a photo" then YES. Sometimes I make a bigger picture and scale down, somtimes i take a Photo and change it.

Well, it´s a Sceanrio about Jules Verne. (It is not exact the same like you could find at the FW-CD, but it is not only convert to ToT with some ToT events and more.) I do this together with SCDARS - better to say he does it together with me.

And Henrik: Yes like I wrote to you, there are hordes of Landsknechts...
