Two Arab/eastern spearmen from MEM. Thanks to Kinboat & utahjazz7 for PDM & stuff. Those have mostly the same animations as my previous spearmen, just different default pose. Again, the second spearman's INI file refers to sounds from the first one, keep that in mind if you're gonna use Spearman 2 separately.

Eastern Spearman 1 (shield based on Early Middle Ages Arab design)

Woah. Very nice units.

As for use, the first one can be an Abna Spearman. The second can be a Muttawi'ah or Qangli Spearman. Or perhaps also, though they used javelins, a Daylami Ghulam (mercenary).
 
I never knew Arabs fought in toddler polka dot PJs and Striped ones :p

Nice units however, will you be making alternative textures for it?

It's actually a middle-eastern pattern, and contrary to popular belief, they didn't live only in a desert and wear all white. Both Persians and Arabs dyed and decorated their clothes a lot, probably a lot more than Europeans.

No, why?

Thanks for all the comments though, even the pyjamas ;)
 
There was a preview posted a month ago for a reason. I'm not remaking it now because you don't like the clothes.
 
Nice and crisp :) they are both lovely !!! Though I'll most likely use them both as spearman flavours - one for the Arabs... the other one for hmmm- the Turks, perhaps.... Any chance there will be more units with that spiked helmet- like Horsemen/Knights (hint hint :mischief: ) ??
