Here's a sketch (based on this image (http://www.soldiers-russia.com/grenada/G264.jpg).)

Base the wolf on my avatar (click below for a larger version):

Attack 1 = Spear, Attack 2 = Sword, Attack 3 = Wolf bite.
Victory and fidget = Wolf howling.

This unit is for a mod. Also if possible make a Legionnaire version (no horse, weapons are sword and shield).

Is that a man with a Wolf mask or an Anthromorphic Wlf?

Here's a sketch of a Lycontine Legionnaire (It's an older sketch):

The legionnaire should be able to build roads and forts.

Attack 1 = Sword slash, Attack 2 = Sword stab, Attack 3 = Bite.
Vicotry and Fidget = Howling.

Wolf = same as above (based on avatar).

This request is seconded! I've been considering a fantasy mod based on my favourite series for a long time and it includes a civilization of wolfmen.

If someone does make these units, I'd like to pledge for one with a weapon that is sized like a short sword that is bent like a saber but FORWARDS.

Are you perhaps familiar with Palladium games? They publish such games as Palladium (Fantasy settings) and Rifts (Sci-fi), both of which have "Wolfen" civilizations. If you are considering A civilization and are in need of more unit types (especially modern/futuristic), this might interest you.

Here's a link I found to the official palladium forums -

perhaps there might be people there with interest in providing additional artwork, or even some off-chance of someone there being skilled enough to create these units for this game ....

The civilisation of the Lycontines in the mod is a civilisation of wolfmen (but based on the Byzantines), so the next units would have to be a settler, a worker, a warrior and a spearman.

I don't need futuristic units but modern ones would help.
