I had the desire to make a unit, so I put this one together. I've been wanting to make something like this since LouLong requested some Burgundian units in December of 2004 (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=106536). It's been a long time since I've made a unit, so let me know if I forgot any files or didn't get the palettes correct.

Beautiful.
If you'll think of putting a flame instead of an explosion in front, it would make for a great Byzantine Greek fire unit as well.(there was a hand held version of the ship mount device)

Unexpected and awesome.
Like the way the cannon bounces and settles on the guy in the death. The size is perfect, too. I hate short people. And fat people.
Love you, utah

Now, if only someone, somewhere, would make a Hussite war wagon ... :mischief:

What do you mean size? Its just Paperdoll.. Tons and tons of units are of the same size..Doesn't mean they're rendered at the same size. It's a peeve of mine.

I feel like a living legend. ;)


I'm glad to see that the hand cannoneer received such a warm reception here. I see there's been an influx of new talent around here, so it's nice to see that a unit of mine can still hold its own.

And, thanks to everyone for all of the warm welcomes back. After such a long break from unit making, I just might stick around long enough to produce a couple more. I even have a couple of ideas floating around.

Also, there was a request that I upload my hand cannon prop. I have posted that and the helmet prop that I used for this unit. If you're interested, you can access them from the following link.

Yeah, F'real, man! You rank up there with Kinboat, Aaglo, and Embryodead as one of the Great Unit Makers of Olde.

What they said.

Great to see a new utahjazz unit appearing, and it's as top-quality as we'd expect. I'm sure this one will see a lot of action.
