Aegean Sailor (24 Apr 2007)

embryodead · Apr 24, 2007

Another late Byzantine-wannabe unit from MEM. It's not likely accurate, but I needed an amphibious unit that looks somewhat different from normal spearmen/infantry, hence the attack (I imagine you'd stab people like that from a boat

)

1st post!

Oohh... Pointy shield... You can kill someone with that!

Mirc · Apr 24, 2007

Wow. These MEM units are amazing. :eek:

But when I saw "sailor", I was expecting a ship...

Ozymandias · Apr 24, 2007

Fabulous. Love that kite shield :goodjob:

But what's it doing in the hands of a sailor :confused:

No idea

It was supposed to add the late Byzantine element, but as I said, it's not likely an accurate unit :blush:

It looks really good. I especially like your Death animation - the bounce is great.

Stormrage · Apr 24, 2007

I thought the Normans used that kind of shield? :confused:

My history section was always a bit rusty. I like the attack btw.

As far as I understand, Byzantine shields were oval at first, then changed to kite design, likely under the influence of Normans.

I can imagine him fighting aaglo's sea-monster

I love the feel of this unit, it's just great. :goodjob:

Virote_Considon · Apr 25, 2007

There wouldn't be any chance of this unit loosing his tights, changing his shield and wearing sandals instead of his current footwear, is there? He looks like he could make a perfect ancient sailor, too!

BadKharma · Apr 25, 2007

Great job I really like that overhand attack animation.

I second that. Great as is too, tho :goodjob:

Mithadan · Apr 25, 2007

I don't care if he's historically innaccurate or whatever, he rules! And I'll give him to my Byzantines! Yay!

flamescreen · Apr 26, 2007

Byzantines have a history of using a number of mercenaries in their armies after a point(most notably the ones we called Varags). I don't see why this cannot be a mercenary unit if nothing else.
It's great work for sure!

Vuldacon · Apr 27, 2007

Another Sharp Unit...Love the Force you have animated in his Attack, he really puts some power into it and it looks Great! :goodjob:

I've been playing MEM as the Byzantines lately, and noticed a little glitch when the Aegean Sailor looks to the North:

Here's a little correction I made for this great unit (only one frame was wrong so I pasted a bit of the next frame, no big deal).
