Having made a few new units for Anno Domini, here's one of my favourites. I've uploaded it early for Ares and Stormrage. Thanks very much to CamJH for the animations and utahjazz7 for some of the various props

Go mad with an axe here!!

Real nice Rob! But, there's a pallette problem. Civcolour shows up on the Axe and Helmet. Shame given the huge quality of this unit Rob!

I didn't notice that in gameplay, so that's a pity. However, at least in the mod, it's a Byzantine only unit, and the Byzantines are coloured red, so if anything, it'll show up as blood

Finally! Great work!

Top notch!

Miles Teg · Oct 7, 2007

Ooh. Sweet Unit. I think I'm going to drop the Huscarl as my personal Varangian Guardsman.

That is so bad ass.

Well, this could be fixed by palette editing, I guess.

So, who can I slay now? ...

Magnificent! Long overdue, but well worth the wait, thanks to you, Rob. We Byzantinophiles thank you!

Stormrage · Oct 7, 2007

Thank youuuuu!

Ozymandias · Oct 7, 2007

Very fine indeed - and just in time for the mod I'm working on.

Best,

Oz

Then look out for the next Anno Domini patch due out in a couple of days - it includes some other new units done by me, including a European swordsman and spearman, which might also come in handy.

A smashing job on a much needed unit. He looks very powerful.

CC-2224 · Oct 8, 2007

Sweet! Thanks, Rob!

Wow, he can hold that axe in one hand!

What you see for that animation is about the twentieth attempt - he dropped it the first nineteen times

Can't weigh that much more than the splitting maul we have at home. That thing is pushing 20 pounds, and I can carry that in one hand. However, I'd probably dislocate my shoulder if I tried swinging it one handed.

Very cool unit.

Mithadan · Oct 8, 2007

!!! A much appreciated unit, and beautiful to boot! Yay!

As to the other new units in Anno Domini Redux, you won't be releasing them separately here, will you?

Quinzy · Oct 9, 2007

Will you be able to fiddle with the pallette to fix the little civcolour errors at some time?
