Wow, pretty colors :) But, should he be that colourfull? I always imagined trappers wearing "fashion by Mr.Boring Brown"

Extraordinary use of color, and the perfect level of pattern detail for Civ scale.

It`s a collar prop. It took 5 hours to render the unit because of lots of textures. :crazyeye:

5 hours? For just one animation? One direction? Or the whole thing?

Either way, it was worth it, cause this is quite excellent.

The death looks like someone got a spectacular head shot on him, or his head was just mauled by a bear swipe...

Just a side note, the name should be Coureur des Bois (= Woods Runner), note Coureur de Bois (= Wooden Runner).

Sweet! Now if you'd make some worker animations for him, we'd be well on our way to having an Age of Empires III mod. :D

What an unexpected and wonderful surprise. Thank you for this unit! I think I may make him slightly more generic in my mod however since all the colonials had trappers in one form or another.

When I grow up I wanna be just like him.:lol: Me too :D Great work, beautiful colors. I second Stef about his name. The only critic I would do is that we've seen this death anim too much, you may change it a bit... nice unit anyway.

I have to agree I like the death animation and see no need to change it.

This would add some variety... if you have all these units in your mod you may have maybe twenty of them streching their right arm up when they die, probably with the same sound playing. That's ok they have different colors and costumes, but is it enough ? But that was only minor criticism about a very little thing that could be changed easily...
