OK. All the animations are done already, I'll post it on monday when I've got sounds and every thing, won't have time tomorrow. Perhaps someone else can post some sounds to help me out :)

Its a unit to come before the gurilla fighter (armed with a Asault rifle) and is armed with a cheap rifle;

Some of the animations are a bit jumpy, but thats just a side effect of the program I use. People may want to use him for other roles, he's very flexible and is a unit that I've wanted since CIV III first came out, but every time I made a model I wasn't happy with it, one of the reasons being, its actualy difficult to make a good rifle model. :)

Heres the attack animation, I may change this one slightly once the unit is all finished and posted, but for now its OK.

What do you think?

That looks great, but it still looks a bit too modern. Is it at all possible that you could do one in obviously civilian clothes, rather then fatigues?

Civilian clothes make for a very unimpressive unit and are not actualy representative of most partisan forces in WWII, which were actualy trained soldiers with special equipment and training to work behind enemy lines.
A resistance fighter would be a better name for a civilian dressed partisan, and I would suggest using Embryodeads trenchcoat wearing Private eye unit, as its light armament would be representative of the actual military value of a freedom fighter, whose activities would be limited to spying, and pillaging ememy improvements.

Smokey, excellent as per usual. This will be quite useful and the graphics look great. Soldiers are so hard to animate. Please post this soon cause partisan soldiers are badly needed for civ3.

This unit is needed so much it hurts! Thanks, SM!

The run animation is a little stiff, I agree...mainly due to his left arm. Perhaps you could put a knife in his hand. That might make his arm look more natural.

But other than that, it's top notch!

Great unit,
but I must ask if someone has made a soldier representing American Marine around the time of Spanish American War. That's at the turn of last century I think.
Both the Marines and US soldiers had some nice looking hats I think. Wide, round and a cowboy looking top. Do anyone know what I'm talking about.
So a movie with Sean Connery the other day. Wind and the Lion.
The Marines came to rescue in Morocco about this time 1904. These units swarmed all over the world 100 years ago and they had a little different headdresses than the later WW1 units.

Could I find anything similar or is someone thinking on it.
Smoking Mirror how about you

Smokey, please don't forget to post this unit. We want so bad. And no cigar is better. It's fine like it is now. :)

Hmmmm... Yes.. this would make a nice Castro King Unit if you remove the rifle and add a Cigar.

Only the one girlfriend, we've been dating for a year now, a record for me. :)

This is a unit I've wanted to have for a long time, so I'm trying to make it as best I can, I still think the reload animation needs redoing, but The rest of the animations are fine as far as I'm concerned. Its just not possible to get better from my program without risking an error.

heres somthing else I've been working on for a while, its actualy a reorking of one of my earliest units, the advanced german U-boat, or type 21 E-boat.

This time I've actualy found some original desings to base it on.

Thats prety cool wrymshadow, its definately in the same style as your other sea units so it should go well in the SOE scenario. I love it when a mod has a coherent look.

Ive tried to make mine as much like a civ 3 submarine as possible, the animations are going to be very similar, and Ive made it the same size as the original sub, and the nuke sub, though it looks a bit chunkier.
