A unit from recently released Medieval European Mod II (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=218602), a late (c.14th century) Byzantine archer from Trebizond. He may not be particularly Byzantine (if there was such a feature), but it's based on drawings by Agnus McBride ;)

Looks great!! :D

The death is a little too dramatic IMO, but I love how his hat/helmet/whatever that is falls from his head. :thumbsup:

This one is fantastic! A great model and really nicely animated. I'm sure he'll be widely used.

Its awesome! This unit alone makes me able to say "F you Medieval II - Total War makers whose game I can`t run, I have all the cool medieval units I need in my games*, thankyouverymuch".

*Of course I don`t, one can never have enough units, I`d love to see more! :bounce:

Yes! Yes! A fine replacement for my placeholder (a dark elf costumed as trebizond archer).

ED, those are some of the best archer animations I've seen. Great unit.:goodjob:

BTW, what are you using for the bow?

Oops, I forgot to mention this time - this is the bow by utahjazz7 from CFC library, and the clothes are Kinboat's as usual.

Thanks for all the comments :)

Downloaded MEM last night, but haven't found time to play it yet. Looks like you put some really nice flavor into it. Can't wait to play... maybe I can save the Byzantine Empire? ;)

Wonderful Detail and Clarity embryodead...even his mouth is visibly animated as he yells in the Victory. Very Clean animations, Textures and Color. Excellent :goodjob:

Um.. the PDM doesn`t have a mouth?...then it must be an illusion caused from the mustache and beard with the animation timing and angle but it looks Good Regardless.

The whole unit looks great! Ed chose just the perfect texture for the helmet, and I really like the leather cuirass he gave to his byzantine units.
