I thought it was time to try my luck again ... :cool:

... so I'm requesting a Maya spearman looking something like this:

A colour scheme to go with utahjazz7's Ah Kuy would be good:

(blue is civ-colour.)


Similar figurines can be seen here (http://www.tin-figures.de/index2.htm). If someone feels like making another of the warriors depicted there, that too would be appreciated. :)

Are you seriously suggesting I should use the Vanilla Spearman and/or Pikeman as a Maya unit? No, don't answer that.

Javelin Throwers and the other ones that are flavored for Maya's in the Scenario; it has custom units gal-or.

Unfortunatley, you're wrong. It just contains the Vanilla units...

Back on topic, Have you tried the Sea People's Spearman by (I think) Utahjazz?

There is the Quetzul Bowman and the Javelin thrower WHICH IS NOT vallia.

I've seen that, yes. Unfortunately, the overall look of it is Mediterranean bronze age, and the shield seems to have metal bosses, so it won't do.

Quetzul Bowman is the Babalonian Bowman from the epic game. The Javelin Thrower is the Mayan UU from the EPic Game ;)

Moreoever, neither is a spearman, which happens to be what I'm requesting.

The Javlien thrower is close enough.

Anything useful to you here?

Dom Pedro II's Native America units (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=2001560&mode=threaded)

Not really; I'm hoping to replace one of Dom Pedro III's Andean types with something more specifically Maya. :)

Nothing there that'll work, I'm afraid. The Cueztecatyl is dressed all wrong and the Atlante doesn't carry a proper spear. Additionally, both have non-looping attack animations that I don't like at all.

How about some of Steph's conversions, or Dease's TupiPikeman (shown below)?

Edit/PS - You might also want to check out some of Kinboat's stuff in the Unit Library ...

I already use Kinboat's splendid Meso Spearman.

I'd prefer to stay away from conversions. :)

a bit OT, why is it that some people don't like conversions?

They rarely if ever fit stylistically.
