Very very cool looking. What was the process that led to "I need to create giraffe archers", though? Just curious. :)

Nice! But the archers could look more African.;)

Useful to a civ without access to horses. ;)

Very cool.

Download now includes version with Zulu Impi riders.

Happy now Chamaedrys?

Why giraffe arches you ask hamtastic? Mostly just to see if I could.

But woodelf, they'd need access to the Giraffe resource, and I doubt that there are many of those on most maps.

Nah, you simply need a Zoo building and you can use those. :D

They look awesome.

Yes

They're beautiful. I'll use them as a UU for the Zulus.

Impaler[WrG], here is a version without the rider.
It will still only use the animations of the camel archer, so it will not look quite appropriate in battle.

I would personally like to use the giraffes as new bonuses for ambience on the map. I don't like the lack of exotic creatures.

How about some gazelles too?

I love these, though technically the necks need to be longer. :p

What's next? Amazon archers riding panthers? ;)
Only if they have blue or purple skin and can cast Starfall.

All I used on this unit was nifviewer. (Available in the utility programs forum)
Although you will also want The Gimp (for skinning) and Blender (for advanced work)

I think this would be a great unit for Balseraphs in FfH. In fact I would be dissapointed if it isn't included.

Yeah, that units fits perfect for the crazy balseraphs.
