.... Time to make a Tengu unit!
Honestly, it's awesome that you keep making all of these cool units, Nomad or What!

Thanks! This particular unit is actually incidental; I need the custom animations to create angels, demons, devils, etc. and this particular unit had the animations I wanted. More to follow!
These look great, and flying units are always welcome. There is a civ I'm planning to add to my mod (at some point after the first release) where these units will fit nicely 
If you could only make a flying angel I'd be more than happy (but, as with my other suggestion, the urgency level is low
)

I needed to make this unit first as a template for an Angel. Otherwise, the angel would have been first! I should have the Angel complete within a week.

I'd recommend using the wings from Deliverator's Griffon on the Angel, Nomad: he painstakingly reshaped the wings so that they don't have that alpha transparency issue that this unfortunately has a lot of... nice animations from what I'm seeing though! Elohim from KoW maybe...
can't wait for the angels
it's a guuurl !!
(and not a bikini-chain-mail !!)
shame that I expect few people to use her.
as a side note, I expect she would be better with a more mundane weapon... with a spearhead of glittering steel ! (it might make her less outlandish)
keep the nice jobs coming !
thanks again

Changing the spear would be a very easy fix. To be honest, I converted this unit for the animations; I wasn't really concerned with the unit itself. This set of custom animations is the precursor to angels and demons as well as other flying humanoids
.
Yes, they hover in place. There are custom Griffon animations that I will be working on someday as well (I already have them, I just need to convert them).

This may be looking a gift horse in the mouth, but I wonder if we want angels and demons constantly flapping wings even when stationary. I kind of think I want them to stand on the ground, then fly when moving or attacking. But then I also want to win $60,000,000 in the lottery...
(Really, Drakes look great hovering and probably it will be OK since demons and angels never appear in huge numbers.)

I prefer when flying units stand on the ground too, as then it makes more sense that they can be attacked by ground melee units - I don't want to make them immune to ground melee attacks like it's done in some games, for example MoM. But the animations are not a big problem for me, and I'm still going to use the hovering units, like the ones here.

Nomad must have annoyed JFD somehow, as I believe nobody's heard from him in a couple months.
I might be able to do an angel unit using the animations for this, but then it always has to have a spear.

Why, yes, there is still a chance to get angels. I never should have put a timeline in for them to be complete; fate somehow always sets you up to fail when you do.
