Here is a Sumerian Infantry unit, basically a spearman replacement. It was requested by Mithadan. It's my first unit in eight months, so if anything isn't working properly, let me know. I hope I got everything right though. :)

edit: As far as I know, there were no coordination efforts between aaglo, R8XFT, Sword_Of_Geddon, and I to all release units today. It is kind of interesting that it happened this way though.

Holy crap! Four unit releases in one day? Two of which haven't released a unit forever? It's like Christmas! This is definitely the best of the bunch, though. Is that a new cape? If it is, please post it in your prop section, we could always use more props, :).

Great unit Utah, keep up the good work. Who knows what unit ideas you'll come up with next considering you created the Rocket Team out of the blue, altoghether one of my favorite units.

Fantastic. The skirt looks really nice. This will be a much-used unit.

Very nice unit Utah. :)

Though I think the attack looks a bit static. He looks like he doesn't use all his potential when stabbing with the spear.

If you created the props, is there any chance of you posting them over in the thread you've kindly put your props before? This way, I might be tempted to create a couple of matching units in time for Anno Domini Classic's release ;) .

Ah, those are feathers?
I thought they were supposed to be wool! :blush:

Maybe this companion piece might be appropriate? Using the same model and props? :mischief:

I thought they were supposed to be wool! :blush: :lol: It is wool. It just has that nice "feathery" look, like the depictions.

If they were actual feathers, the soldier would have to have caught an ostrich or something. ;)

I could do this easily after my EFZI pack.

Regarding the DBAOL depiction. The black spots on his cape actually ought to be little pieces of metal, a primitive type of body armour. And his shield should have a boss in the middle, like the one carried by the pikeman.

As for the dude himself, he would probably have been one of the better off citizens or a minor noble. His helmet and axe would be made of bronze.

In the unit tree he would appear before the Sumerian pikeman, but fight alongside him until the Kassites came down from their hills and shot them with their bows, after which the Kassites ruled Babylonia for ca. four centuries.

Another cool request would be a simple Mesopotamian javilinman. Wearing that neat wool-feather-kilt-thing and nothing else. Javelinmen were very common in early warfare.

Thank you.

I'm not familiar with CivIV, but is your avatar from an equivalent unit found in CivIV?
