Unit is game tested

A boomerang soldier, perhaps from ancient times?

previews:


animations run faster ingame!:
(run - default - fortify - attack (x2) - victory - fortify - attack - death)

well, this idea was floating in my head for a while now, but I have so little time lately. University is keeping me busy..

I didn't remember someone making anything like this, and I just like making units that are not completely conventional for armies.

I hope you will find a use for it!

enjoy!

Excellent stuff Ruby!

How about an aboriginal chap with a boomerang? Might be fun for an Australian civ, or for barbarian units placed on Australia in an epic mod?

I actually have a use for such a unit, as well as the one Ruby did here.

As always very nice and original unit.
I agree that it'd be nice to get a historic Aboriginal unit

@Jerry: you really should read what other people say a few posts above yours:

BTW I second (or third) this request. It comes to mind as soon as you see this unit.

not a joke - real serios thing - the one boomerang was used for scaring the wild and the other was thrown at it, or you could immagine a arboriginee with a russian furcoat, handgloves and heavy shoes....

edit: cause the tv movies show people running towards empty(of prey) landscapes and than something moves.....very very small...so if one did not show his second boomerang he could not scare the little creepers he calls food. - i am vegetarian, and i will remain vegetarian, jerry

Great work, Ruby Sauce!

Quite a fine boomerang soldier!

If he was from a green coloured civ he'd remind me of "Link"!
