African Units

The TRUE last update!

I just added five new units to the database,

African Sam Infantry,

I based it’s skin off of my African modern infantry so they should go together fine.

African Heavy Spearman,

I tried to add a bit of a bronze effect to the armor… I don’t know if it turned out right tough.

African Heavy Swordsman,

Most of my time was spent on this unit! The sword is based off of one of Rabbit White’s scimitars using this image as inspiration,

(The lil’ guy with the sword to the left of the main figure) I think it turned out ok, even though I don’t know what anyone could use it for.

African Modern Worker

It tried texturing this guy some jeans to give him a “John Henry” look, however, to quote another poster on this site, they always ended up looking like pajamas. Oh well.

African Light Horseman,

Bits and pieces of this unit where lying around on my computer so I desided to finish it off and upload it.

This will be the last time I update this page, hopefully anyhow. Enjoy!
Screenshots are in the links!

PS.
I should state that most of the units in this thread come from these images posted by Plotinus, (Hint the African Early Calvary and Modern amongst bits and pieces of others)

CAn you post some screenshots?

Edit: Sorry, i didn't know you had pics in the download database.

nice units... i'm putting some in the arda mod

These are pretty good! Nice. Simple. And they fill in some big gaps. Thanks!

Really amazing work !

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I have a african pikeman and a crossbowman in the works, however, it's a tad bit hard getting the textures to look at least respectable.

Approved and ready for d/l. Nice work.

some really creative units there, I like the new heads and that Zulu chariot rocks

Gosh, there's almost enough units now to give each Mali and the Zulu's their unique armies!

Very nice Bakuel. Hope they are included in the larger mods.

These look very nice. Hope to see more medieval units like these!

Thanks for the compliments guys!

I just uploaded ten more units! Please see the first post and tell me how they are!

Make fun of them! Take them apart piece by piece! Tear them up and throw them in my face! Nuke'm while your at it. I don't care. Just don't insult my mother!

lol! Looks cool but THe crossbowman has no SS.
Oh and I asked the Total realism team to add it to their mod. Hope ya don't mind

Sorry about that, Screenshots added.
Thanks for the kind words! I’m just happy someone’s getting some use out of these units! They can be used as placeholders until better african flavor units are made at the very least.

Screenshots pretty please?

SoG, click on the links. There are screenshots on the download page.

OMG
What a huge (i would said even heroic) amount of well done units!!!

They trully fill gaps in civ4 for Africa. Good job

Is White Rabbit still making the EDU mod or does someone want to take it over? When's he going to add all these guys in, and all the other recent uploads? These are all great btw Bakuel I'm struggling to think of African units that haven't been made now...

Haven't heard anything EDU wise in awile....

Maybe he has ties with Firaxis now !
