Quite simple... not my best unit, but will serve its purpose I hope. I included needed icons and sounds.

Some background information provided by ozymandias:

From the Encyclopedia Brittanica:

"Spanish Mozárabe (from Arabic musta'rib, “arabicized”), any of the Spanish Christians living under Muslim rule (8th–11th century), who, while unconverted to Islam, adopted Arabic language and culture. Separate Mozarab enclaves were located in the large Muslim cities, especially Toledo, Córdoba, and Sevilla (Seville), where they formed prosperous communities ruled by their own officials."

From Another Source (etymological):

"One of a group of Spanish Christians who adopted certain aspects of Arab culture under Muslim rule but practiced a modified form of Christian worship. ETYMOLOGY: Spanish Mozárabe, from Arabic musta‘rib, would-be Arab, active participle of ista‘raba, to become an Arab, adopt Arabic customs, from ‘arab, Arab."

Nice unit. In the epic game I won't call it the Mozarab infantry. Instead, I'll have it as the Arabic pikeman flavor unit. In RotO scenario (check it out btw :D), I'll probably use it as a Mameluke spearman.

Very dynamic attack. Good job. :)

Yes what Drift said this is good but why is it called the Mozarab Infantry?

:confused:
Embryodead provided two dictionary quotes explaining that.

@Drivebymaster
Because it's Mozarab infantry... it was a requested unit, and was based on a picture of... Mozarab Infantry.

Great animation there. Will be extremely useful. Very dynamic and realistic. I'd love to see him use his sword, too, though ;)

(Consider this to be a very crude, rude and indirect way of requesting another unit).

Nice unit, Embryo! Its surely going into StrOMod as a Spanish flavor lancer! :)

What do you plan on doing next?

Looks very good :thumbsup:

... although fidget and/or victory animations could spice this unit up a bit ;) (not that they are needed, but they would add a nice extra touch :mischief: )

I love this stuff. Thanks, dead embryo guy!

Very nice, even though he has a small shield;)

Very nice Embryodead!

@Yoda
Actually the shield is 7% bigger :) I hoped you'll notice :(

:hmm: I like it. :thumbsup::thumbsup: Now where to put it in my mod. :hmm:

embryodead, very good! :thumbsup:

Cool! New unit to add to the mod! Thanks! :goodjob:

nice work!

:D Great...Very nice unit!!!;) I like it, great! What can I say, I'm just wordless... I :love: it!

This is UNBELIEVABLY COOL

Always welcome more MUSLIM UNITS

THANK U VERY VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

Very nice unit Emryo. We could probably use this in LOTM as a Southron or Easterling Unit.

The "arab wannabe" is ready for action! :goodjob:

cool unit embryo ... but....... his cloth....
...whatever is cool though

Very, VERY nice!

DOWNLOADERS CHECK THE ini FILE
Had to add .wav after spearattacka and spearattackb in the ini file to make it work. It is now the medieval spearman for all civs in my game.

Great unit. Thank you.

I'm certain it was something on your side. The unit was tested, and to be sure, I just downloaded it myself - the INI file has everything on the right place:

[Sound Effects]
BLANK=
DEFAULT=
WALK=
RUN=..\Spearman\SpearmanRun.amb
ATTACK1=SpearAttackA.wav
ATTACK2=SpearAttackB.wav
ATTACK3=
DEFEND=
DEATH=MozarabDeath.wav
DEAD=
FORTIFY=MozarabFortify.wav

Oh, right, false alarm...
Thought I'd better post just in case....

Thanks again for the unit.

Speaking etymologically ... way cool.

Looks like that Mozarab Infantry could use some energy bars. :D It attacks very slowly, i doubt it can even pierce the enemy's skin ;)

previews are always slower :rolleyes: You could have at least check the unit in game or FLICster before posting.

Nice unit and good attack animations.

I just came back, because it said some1 posted.... and once again i am stunned. You know embryodead, its almost too good :) it makes firax's units look like crap! ...wow...

It's a very good unit, but I think that general_kill is right about the speed of the attack!!! :p :p :p

Just speed it up a bit in flicster yourselves - mine is at 65. That's still one of the better player-made units.
