Click the link to download:
African Horseman
African Marine
African Rifleman
Download All of the African Units

Update 8/19/03: I have put all 3 units into 1, easy-to-use .exe file(within a .ZIP file).

Note: The sounds for two of the units don't work. Spiffor has been kind enoguh to fix them. Click here to download them.

You will need WinZIP(or another extractor) to use these files. Go to www.winzip.com to get a free copy of WinZIP.

You need to re-download the African Horseman, since I forgot to put in a lot of the .flc files. If you don't, the unit will not work. If you downloaded it after 2:30 Pacific Time on 7/31/03(add 8 hours for London Time and 3 hours for New York time) then you do not need to re-download it.

Nice additions -- it's about time we had more African units.

I've been trying to Africanise units, by replacing colors of the palette using the Impi as a model, and gosh it's hard to get a satisfying result.

Good job on those you've done :b: What technique did you use to get it ?

i used the palette of the original white unit but only replaced the skin colors. you only need 1 pallette per unit.

I begun working on the African infantry. So far so good I guess. However, it was quite some work to isolate all skin colours, and to replace them without messing with the trousers and shoes. The result so far still is imperfect, as the helmet has some brown spots on it.

Edit : well, if you want to discuss the method, I've just created a thread on Apolyton about it ('Poly is my usual hangout )

Well, I've added your units to my game today, and they work well except for sounds. I've fixed the .ini files, and the sound should now be working without problems (these are the sounds of regular riflemen and marines). The fixed .inis are in the attached file.

I may start making more of these units if I feel like it. I may also do color conversions of units of other races as well.

Great! There is a need for african units. I'm tired of "white" Zulu's.
