here are the previews (they run faster in-game):

the pentagon parts on the ball and the shirt are civ-specific

I made the shirt like this so when you are civ color red, you get the tunic of Feyenoord! :D.

I didn't do shin guards because whatever I tried, it wouldn't look good ...

and if you dind't notice, in the death animation, the ball flattens ...:)

I included sounds too, the death and attack are modified + unified sounds of normal civ units. the others are taken from other units and I didn't modify those.

oh well, ENJOY

He kicks like a girl, but I think it's a great unit and amazing idea.

:lol:

Thats nuts! Haha, a fun unit.. now where can we use this? :hmm:

Pretty cool! This must be one of the funniest units ever made for Civ!
Now, if I could find a place for it in my mod... hmm... :)

Haha! :lol:
That's pretty cool.

EDIT: I myself have thought of making a hockey player... hmmm - that could be a Canadian UU.

Great unit :D

Although the victory animation could have been some acrobatic ;)

Time to hit some Zombies with this ball... ;)

this can go in the playground mod

nice unit ruby

this can go in the playground mod

Considering we have an actual soccer player unit... :p

But I like the explorer. He has a sword he can wave around! Maybe for the soccer player horde though...

Love the death animation. Its as if he is collasping after a failing to make a game winning goal or something

haha, nice unit. I can see this one going into the Playground Mod. Good work! :thumbsup:

ha, quite original!

Wonderful and original unit! As others have said I'm not sure where to use it, but considering how well animated it is I really want to find a place! Good job and nice attention to detail.

Now we need a Zidane unit doing a headbutt attack. :p

Now that's a clever idea for a unit. The animations look really good and are already a big improvement over your last unit. Of course in the Victory he ought to pull his shirt over his head and go running about, but that might be a bit fiddly to make.

Excellent unit!

He kicks like a girl, but I think it's a great unit and amazing idea.

Oi! There's nothing wrong with the way he kicks the ball- I should know :lol:

Now we need an enraged soccer fan unit

EFZI0 has a new crazy ass unit...

:lol:

Thats nuts! Haha, a fun unit.. now where can we use this? :hmm:

Four words: Escape From Zombie Island.

I must say, very interesting unit.

Good Work ruby_sauce...That is a very novel unit and the animations look very good. There are many things he could do for a Fidget animation that would add to the unit as well. :goodjob: Oh, and I like that the Ball "Dies" too :lol:

Nice! very cool, this will have a place in the "highschool uprising mod" (if it ever comes out)

you´re crazy man :crazyeye:

Whoever requested this needs to be shot. *Just kidding*

I think you should do some Baseball units next (e.g. Batter, Pitcher, Catcher, Umpire).
