View Full Version : Aegean Sailor (24 Apr 2007)
embryodead Apr 24, 2007, 03:07 PM Another late Byzantine-wannabe unit from MEM (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=218602). It's not likely accurate, but I needed an amphibious unit that looks somewhat different from normal spearmen/infantry, hence the attack (I imagine you'd stab people like that from a boat ;) )

Oohh... Pointy shield... You can kill someone with that! :D
Mirc Apr 24, 2007, 03:12 PM Wow. These MEM units are amazing. :eek: But when I saw "sailor", I was expecting a ship...
Ozymandias Apr 24, 2007, 03:35 PM Fabulous. Love that kite shield :goodjob: But what's it doing in the hands of a sailor:confused:

embryodead Apr 24, 2007, 03:47 PM Fabulous. Love that kite shield :goodjob: But what's it doing in the hands of a sailor:confused:
No idea :p It was supposed to add the late Byzantine element, but as I said, it's not likely an accurate unit :blush:
Plotinus Apr 24, 2007, 04:12 PM It looks really good. I especially like your Death animation - the bounce is great.
Stormrage Apr 24, 2007, 04:42 PM I thought the Normans used that kind of shield? :confused: My history section was always a bit rusty. I like the attack btw.
Ares de Borg Apr 24, 2007, 05:08 PM Wonderful. Just wonderful.
LizardmenRule! Apr 24, 2007, 07:24 PM Great work ED :thumbsup:

As far as I understand, Byzantine shields were oval at first, then changed to kite design, likely under the influence of Normans.
Varwnos Apr 25, 2007, 01:37 AM I can imagine him fighting aaglo's sea-monster :)
Yoda Power Apr 25, 2007, 09:11 AM I love the feel of this unit, it's just great. :goodjob:
Virote_Considon Apr 25, 2007, 12:14 PM There wouldn't be any chance of this unit loosing his tights, changing his shield and wearing sandals instead of his current footwear, is there? He looks like he could make a perfect ancient sailor, too!
BadKharma Apr 25, 2007, 12:50 PM Great job I really like that overhand attack animation.
rifleman Apr 25, 2007, 10:30 PM He looks like he could make a perfect ancient sailor, too!
I second that. Great as is too, tho:goodjob:
Mithadan Apr 25, 2007, 10:43 PM I don't care if he's historically innaccurate or whatever, he rules! And I'll give him to my Byzantines! Yay!
flamescreen Apr 26, 2007, 09:59 AM Byzantines have a history of using a number of mercenaries in their armies after a point(most notably the ones we called Varags). I don't see why this cannot be a mercenary unit if nothing else.
It's great work for sure!
Vuldacon Apr 27, 2007, 08:24 AM Another Sharp Unit...Love the Force you have animated in his Attack, he really puts some power into it and it looks Great! :goodjob:
