ok, time for voxel presentation, starting with Paladin units:

Crusader


This is the main Paladin tank unit. Its weapon is a powerful electric bolt, firing at medium range. It can also attack air units, howerver due to its extended range it is much weaker. Armored with diamond crystal (anly Paladins know how to create it), has medium speed.

Celer


Paladins mining unit. It hovers above the ground. Unarmed, light armored. After collecting some resources it teleports back to Paladins refinery - Converter.

Avoral


Unit designed to lift vehicles and drop them anywhere. It can also rip up buildings.
Works the same as Magnetron in YR.

Solar


Paladins main aircraft. Armored with diamond crystal, formed into some kind of prism. This prism diffracts solar light so it can be used to create high-temperature beams. If it is clouded, this unit uses its own source of energy to create them.
This prism also protects against lasers, making Solar almost immune to laser weapons.

[Speeder]

Wow, great work Mevitar!

[Blodo]

These things have starcraft written all over them

Just look at the style of the vehicles and most importantly - the celer Very nice tho.

[Speeder]

Yes, the Celer was based on Protos Prone But the rest are original, even when with partially Starcraft style

After loving Mental Omega, im sure i will love thise, very nice work.

[Apollo]

mmm, ambitious mod vision but damn I like it, keep up the good work

[Verrückt]

The designs are nice ,however the normals could use some work

[mevitar]

normals are being fixed

i've fixed Solar's normals after making this screen, other had screenshot after some fixes... altough i see it wasn't enough

[Ash]

VERY nice. Also a nice storyline. Like Apollo says, VERY ambitious, but I watch this with great interest.

[mevitar]

Now i will pretend to be a Paladin commander

Valkyrie


This small bug-like drone is spawned by Bishops. Only one isn't dangerous, because it is very fragile and doesn't have much firepower. But they are very small, cheap and quick in production, so Bishops can create them themselves and carry many of them. In larger numbers they are very deadly, but don't send them against forces defended with rapid firing AA machine guns, or you'll lost them all in no time.

Eidolon


This unit, called Eidolon, is used mainly for defence purposes. It has a long range medium power laser emmiter and is pretty good armored.
We created this unit when we discovered that mirrors greatly improve light distraction and covered it all with mirror-like armor. Since mirrors only improve the work of light distracting devices, but can't make the unit invisible, we install a cloaking device on each Eidolon. With mirror armor, Eidolons are almost invisible to anyone. However, the cloaking device uses same energy source the main engine does, so it have to stop and turn the engine off to cloak.
Mirror armor can be also used offensively. As Eidolons armor deflects light, other Eidolons can improve a singe'ones laser power, simply shooting its turret. The laser will deflect and give more firepower. But this is almost impossible in movement, so Eidolons also have to stop. If they were cloaked, they'll have to decloak.

Itineris


Itineris is a transport vessel for Paladins. It can carry up to 4 troops or one Guardian robot. Quite fast and has good armor. It's only weapon is a psychic disruption waves emmiter, deadly against infantry but not so powerfull against other units, neither against buildings.
I decided not to make it open topped, because it would be a bit unbalanced (and strange too if the Guardian would fire from inside trough its body )

I decided also to make Archon an infantry instead of a unit. The reason is too many vehicles for Paladins and not too much infantry (Zero Trooper will be removed too)

[Speeder]

A FROG!

[Allied General]

lol looks cool

cloacking should be cloaking

[mevitar]

cloaking transport? wouldn't it be unbalanced?

[Rawlo]

I think he ment that you spelled cloaking wrong at some point

[mevitar]

ummm... oops?
