King on a raft...?

1: No, this is not a photoshop trick.
2: Both the raft (from EO's template) and the King are units.

First one to figure out how I did this gets a cookie.

Shallows. Or a king that was inside a transport, and then the transport got deleted.

Hand me the whole cookie box, please, I'm hungry.

If I agree with Ingo, do I get half of the cookies?

I think it has shallows beneath the raft. You map copied the King (who was standing on shallows) to the back of the raft making it look like he is on it.

That won't work, as the unit only looks like that when it's moving.

Don't know what the answer is, I just hang around and punch holes in people's arguements.

My idea is: You used a mod pack.

Nice trick!

Too bad you can't make either of the units move, without compromising the illusion.

[in a muffled voice] *crunch, yum* Too late, Aro. *crunch*

Maybe the raft is frozen in motion by a looped task object trigger without a location. *looks around hopefully* Any more cookies left?

Ingo

I should have prevented Ingo from guessing.

1: Place a Transport.
2: Place a unit inside the Transport.
3: Remove the Transport, and place the Raft ship on the place where the Transport used to be.
4: Test the scenario, and exit.
5: Rotate units to your liking.
6: Loop-Task the Raft ship away from it's starting position.
7: Place and hide a cliff under the Raft ship.

You could use a non-location task, but I prefer invisible cliffs.

Maybe this Transport thing could be used to achieve different effects...

Well, he can't have the name Angel Luke, now can he? He's a seraph now, remember?

Angel is a common prefix for all Angels and Seraphs. In fact, I don't think there ever was a Seraph with their name beginning with a Seraph prefix.

[edit] hey, wait a minute, does that mean that you can put all sorts of ships under the unit?

So Luke's a Seraph now, eh?

Nice pic. The king looks kinda funny stranded out there in a raft.

Edit: Scratch that first sentence. I was tired when I said it.

I think you came up with this a few months ago Luke when you were first working on your scenario.

I remember you telling me about it then I tried it and it worked; I have a scenario from that time with it, nice find Luke :-).

Combine that raft ship with the desert making bridge ends to achieve invisible water and you have a very cool podium or stand.

The possibilities are endless, infact I think i am going to use them as bleachers.

'Fraid not, DW. I'm happy to be able to fool around every now and then. Not a lot of time for poor Luke to do anything constructive.

It's Luke's choice.

She was not sick and tired of stopping the English. She wanted to stop them more than any other soldier of the French army.

And, yes, Ingo DID stop when he was sick and tired of the editor (Sort of). He's working on the AoE/RoR editor now. That is, if that counts as getting sick of the editor...

Actuely you can move them both at the same time in the same frame; as long as you block the sides of the area the unit walks.

The only problem is that the units lower half will vanish and you need a unit with reletively the same speed.

A King can't walk on water, Phil. Otherwise, maybe send a demo scx? I'd like to see that with my own eyes.

"Expands Lukes Mind"

No a king cant walk on water perhaps a priest could?

But a king can walk on invisible shallows and the boat can also move on shallows."Eats remaining crumbs of cookies"
