Whoa! This competition is small this month...

And is it me, or is it being held a few days earlier this month? (It' normally around the 7th-8th...)

Whilst I like all three units, the triarii looks quite unique and gets my vote.

The Ethiopian Swordsman gets my vote. After all, I was the one who requested it long ago. :D

I thought conversion were not allowed?
Anyway, I voted for Plotinus

They are allowed, but I think it was supposed to be stated so. :)

True. But it was still hard to decide. :D

I voted for Plotinus' Ethiopian Swordsman though.

The rules have changed a few months ago... Conversions are allowed as long as it is stated when submitted.

Mirc
Dec 01, 2006, 01:12 PM
But shouldn't it say that it's a conversion in the first post and in the poll? :)

The Ethiopian Swordsman wins my vote. :goodjob:

okay....
i didn't realize it was a conversion when i voted....
but i still really like the Triarii. i do however think that
it should be in the first post that it is a conversion. ;)

Yeah, tis the busy time of year, unit production always takes a hit in the face of homework mounds...

Sith master.

The lightning is so cool! :D

Keroro
Dec 01, 2006, 06:37 PM
Although I can't imagine a time when I would actually use it I have to say that I think that the Sith Master is the best this month. The others are really good quality too, and I am already using the brilliant Triarii in a scenario, but the animation on the Sith is sooo smoooth I just had to vote for it.

odintheking

The Sith. Love the lightning and animations. Plotinus' entry was great, too, though.

Me too, actually if I were to vote for what I would most like to use and what civ I admire more, I would have voted for the Triarii. :D

But I voted for the unit that I found most nicely done, though it was hard to decide between it and the Sith Master.

Well, obviously it has to be the Ethiopian Swordsman..look at that shield...its gorgeous! :D

beboy voted NavyDawg. I had to throw a dime to decide between the Sith Master and the Ethiopian dude... Good job to everybody!!

I voted for the Sith Master, mainly because I know how @#$@ hard it is to make Lightning and laser effects in Poser, and Navydawg pulled it off much better than I ever could (most of my FX in poser are C&P in after I've got the storyboard done)

Indeed! I think everyone has Aaglo as one of their top 3 unit creators of all time. Yet the votes don't always match the love thrown his way.

Scytale
Dec 04, 2006, 01:15 PM
I would vote for the Triarii but i like the Sith more. Plus the Sith was created from scratch while the Triarii is only a conversion (even if it is one of the best conversions) :).

I'm voting for Plotinus unit, hes great with northern africa, and eventually I hope he does some South African units as well.

The Thud
Dec 05, 2006, 02:16 AM
I voted for the african. The sith, blah. Worst unit yet from navydwag.
Even the goofy lighting effects are just wrong. Just saw all 6 movies. Lightsabers are not flash lights. well ok, maybe they are, but they don't give off brightly colored glowing effects to the wielders.
Also I just do not thing the unit looks good. not just because of the glow. I voted for you last month. Gimme something I can vote for this next month and I'm back on your bandwagon.

Bambi Slam
Dec 05, 2006, 03:10 AM
i voted for the roman.

Plotinus
Dec 05, 2006, 12:04 PM
[The Thud] Thank you for the vote, but please don't make such negative posts. You've got a warning for your comments in the LH thread already. If you don't like a unit, then fine, but it's more helpful to suggest improvements rather than just damn it.

Normally I'm the kind of guy that would get pretty pissed about a comment like this. However, I think it has been established that the Thud treats every creator on this forum this way. Anyways, since you can do so much better, I look forward to seeing your Sith and will certainly make use of it.:rolleyes:

With a pinch of stormrage, but a sesame street trash can instead of santa's hat?
My comment is not intended to troll, but to encourage The Thud to lighten up before he ends up on a lot of Ignore lists.

[The Thud] is like a drunk Goldflash ....:lol:
No offense Goldflash, we still love you!!!

Dec 07, 2006, 05:50 PM
yeah, although it is a conversion, just bear that in mind, plus I actually quite like the cartoony look of some units :)

ok sorry. I do not like this one unit you made. I do like the others. Like I posted in the other thread, I wanted to vote for one you did not enter.
And I can not make units, but that does not make me untitled to an opinion. I can not make a car either, but I still found a way to pick one I liked.

I do not know if that is a compliment to me or an insult to Goldflash. But since I am supposed to be drunk, I guess I better go buy some brew.

I am guessing this is the sorta cheese I am not allowed to repond too. pity.

And that's why you should win this. I do however like the Ethiopian swordsman in addition to your amazing units. The Firefly Serenity from you was truly exquisite.

Well done, Plotinus! Congrats to all three on what were amazing units this month ;) .

Plotinus
Dec 10, 2006, 04:17 AM
Yayy! Thank you. Gaias' unit was really good, but I certainly thought NavyDawg was going to take this one easily. I must admit that I did hope to do quite well this time, as I was pleased with how my unit turned out, but I think the Sith Master is fantastic. It's a Sith Master!

I think this is my two-and-a-halfth win, which actually means I have won more unit-making competitions than anyone else. By half a win. Yayy!
