The Aztec Units are based off of these pics,



While the Mongols are based off of these,



And that's about it. Screenshots are in the post and in the links so I'm sure this will save many people a extra click, which undoubtedly adds up to saving thousands of lives per year around the world.
Post and tell me if there is anything wrong with the downloads or if you love it, hate it , would have did X different or whatever.

Thank you for the mongolian units. I now have unit art for the Avars, Bulgars, and Slavs in my mod.

No problem Ajidica, I'm glad you like them!

Wow... really, really nice stuff there!

very cool. i think i could use the mongols for the huns too.

Great work!!!

Cheers,

I especially like the middle age mongolian units.

I like the Aztecs and the Mongolians, now I just need to make my Mesoamericans look more like yours so they can blend better.

oh...if I had known that these were coming out today, I would have never wasted my time making my aztec units. I would have just waited for these higher quality models instead...

thanks for the Iraqi Guard & Marine.

Happens to all of us... I've wasted time on reskins when others put out something better within hours!

HEY, that was my idea, , so everyone makes all of these when i get finished making civs, thx. Well back to the drawing boards, LOL thx buddy, units look great.

Great units!!.. shame i just finished the aztec unit skin i my mod 2 days ago.. well can always redo them ...

Bakuel.. would you by intrested in making a set for the Maya or Sumerian civs...

I thought Maya and Aztec are almost the same thing? But I did make a separate Aztec and Mayan Great General so I'm probably contradicting myself.

Great units, need to add them to my mod

Yeah "almost" I just dont like to make them the same...

But got another problem.. the mongol chariot has a pink spear in my game?!?

Use the Chinese_Chariot_Rider_128.dds from Art\units\Chariot_Chinese, works for me.

Bakuel, you should make an Aztec Swordsman too, the default one (Jaguar) just doesn't fit in any longer

Thanks for the kind words guys! I'm happy that people plan to use these. I get the feeling that mongol/hun style units are disparately needed.

@DWOLF Sorry about that ... It happens to all of us, I wouldn't have bothered making a Aztec warrior if I knew that Chuggi had already made a meso american warrior which looked almost the same, expect better.

@Chuggi I'm glad you like them and plan to use them! Are you planning on using the Iraqi Guard as well? I made three versions which could be put together into one unit.
Note: Mayan people life in the Yucatán Peninsula , while the Aztec Empire was based in the valley of Mexico . The golden age of Mayan civilization was before the Aztec's time, even though I think the descendants of the Mayans where in contact with the Aztec Empire and actually even exist to this day (Mayan based languages are still spoken), while of course the Aztecs are all pretty much gone. (I don't think the Spanish conquistadors and settlers liked the Mayan jungle environment that much. Safer to kill and enslave all of the plains peoples and live there instead. )

@mamba I could try to make a new Aztec Swordsman. I'll make him closer to the full suit kind (not the blue furred one of course, that's just a bit too weird.)

I was actually already working on some Korean and Mayan units. I could make some Sumerian units after I'm done with those.

Nice units !

It was, one of the last missing styles, and imo one of the more essential ones.

Looking forward to it, the regular one just looks way out of place now (before everyone looked like him, now noone does )

Looking forward to those as well, some more civs to get their own units.

After Korea and Sumeria, only the Celts, Indians and Vikings lack specific units (although many seem to use Chuggis Rohirrim for Vikings)
