Human unit lottery

Sword_Of_Geddon · Oct 23, 2006

thats right, I'm holding a human unit lottery...simply because I am suffering for unit creator's block...

Here are the rules:

Unit must be something I have the props for, if i don't have it the winner can pick something else

Deadline time is monday after halloween

so who wants to start?

EDIT: found a suitable unit.
reserved for something different.

Darque · Oct 23, 2006

Does it have to be human? or can it be an elf? I am looking for a dark elf spearman or a dark elf settler. Preference in dark elf - whitish colored hair and charcoal skin.

I would like to enter a Hesperian Mercenary from Quest for Glory 5. He should wear some generic armor and have some kind Skull helmet as shown below. He should also have both a Sword/Shield attack and a Bow attack if possible.

Thanks SoG!

I would like to enter Hajduk!
This unit can be used for all Balkan Freedom fighters! (Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Romania, etc.) here is the story:

Wikipedia said:
In Balkan folkloric tradition, the hajduk (hajduci or haiduci in the plural) is a romanticised hero figure who steals from, and leads his fighters into battle against, the Ottoman oppressors. In short, they are seen as a local variety of Robin Hood and his merry men, who steal from the rich (which in the case of the hajduci happened to be also foreign occupants) and gives to the poor, while carrying a small guerilla war against an injust authority.

In reality, the hajduci of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries were as much guerilla fighters against the Ottoman rule as they were bandits and highwaymen who preyed not only on Ottomans and their local representatives, but also on local merchants and travellers. However, most of the hajduci did follow a moral code which forbade robbing the poor and motiveless murder. Those who didn't, were no longer referred to as hajduci by the local population, but were called simply bandits.

The actual origin of the word hajduk is unclear. One theory is that hajduk was derived from the Turkish word haidud or haydut, which was originally used by the Ottomans to refer to Hungarian infantry soldiers. Another theory suggests that the word comes from the Hungarian hajtó (plural hajtók), meaning a (cattle) drover.

Regular white shirt goes beneath the jacket!
1 -> This kind of jacket was mostly used by them!
2 -> "Opanci" are the shoes used again by them

3 -> Pants that goes with the jacket! :lol:

4 -> Every Hajduk had a sword!
5 -> And about two guns, because one gun has one bullet and Hajduks only attacked by suprise that means Charge!!!

so they didn't had time to load the next bullet, they fire first gun, then second and then they draw swords :mischief:

As for the hats! ones in the picture are used by the elders and chiefs, but regulars used this baby!

I think the main reason for those big hats "Subara" where that when enemy fires the gun, he doesn't know where head ends(?) :lol:

As for the gun these are just fine!

Hope someone will build this unit cause I need him for my Scenario and other modders will find use for him!

Lord Malbeth · Oct 23, 2006

I request a Armed Farmhand, from EFZI

Colombian Infantry

Iron Beagle · Oct 23, 2006

Like voracious sharks, the ravenous hordes of civ fans swarm around the unit maker!

Thank you for doing this, should I win I would like an urban counterterrorist commando, in black, with a gas mask and submachine gun:

If you don't have the props for that, then a regular SWAT type unit would be my second choice.

Ozymandias · Oct 23, 2006

OK, a major edit / change-of-choice thanks to good and friendly folk pointing out that the Maquahuitl has been done. Thanks, gents :goodjob:

Even though this post is almost entirely changed, I'll keep the following:

Just a quick admonitory note to those requesting really cool, futuristic looking guys in all night-black uniforms: do consider how they'll look at Civ scale.

That having been said, how about the alternative illustrated below? - It gets my vote anyway

Best,

Oz

Sword_Of_Geddon · Oct 23, 2006

I believe that Roman Legion did that alteration of Utah's Mesoamerican Swordsman, check the Unit artist's libruary, its there. If the die lands on this post, its an automatic re-roll.

Goldflash · Oct 23, 2006

How about that Iperial Gaurdsman you said you'd do for us?

TopGun · Oct 24, 2006

how about an Austrian Worker, clad in traditional garb: Lederhosen, Janker and Tiroler hat?

look here for a concept sketch!

As for yours truly, I came across this - I d/l-ed this preview near the end of last year; have no idea who was doing (did?) it, only that it's called a "Maquahuitl" which is actually the Aztec obsidian edged sword/club he's carrying.

If it has been made (1) my most humble apologies to the creator and (2) where can it be found? (a CFC site search revealed no references).

If it hasn't been made, then it's my vote.

Best,

Oz

That was Qunizy. It has been released.

What happened to the elephant worker of your last lottery?

I'd like to request a Jedi. Lightsabers are easy to find, and it could use Kinboat's samurai robe colored brown.
