Thanks all great modders in this site. Please give them a big credit :goodjob:
I have learned a lot.....and now it's time to give it back......

Now I finished my African units... many units from great modders here
and many units... I just re-bone, re-skin, and modify them to look like
what I have seen from history books and movies as much as possible ...
If you need to download a beautiful complete unit set..... it's here.

Enjoy! welcome any suggestion....
 
Wow, stellar stuff! You certainly know how to make a first impression. ;)
 
this is nice, continue with this nice work!
 
This is great :goodjob: I don't think I've seen that explorer before - did you make it? I'd love to have more flavor explorers!
 
You have a nice collection there, I don't think I have seen the explorer or cuirassier before. Speaking of the cuirassier, imo the reins should not be in the civ-specific color, they should always be black (you were asking for suggestions).
 
very very nice....hope to see more!!!
 
The vast majority are previously released... a few new ones in here, but I think the "skull face" thing is used on too many units... and the swordsman is way over the top... it just makes me think more Halloween costume then African Swordsman.

Nice... but those masks are more varied then a same-old skull mask. I was only refering to having some diversity, not the same-o, same-o. Actually an African tribal mask would be kinda cool... just not the same thing over and over again.

You know... something like this:

Some nice new units here, love the Malinese cuirassier and the explorer and the ancient spy!
I do think it would've been better just to release the new units you've done seperately, though, since I'm only really seeing a few new or edited ones in the pack. Even better would be to do up some XML and release it as a modular modpack.

Couple of minor things - I agree that the Omens swordsman is a bit over-the-top; sepamu created an exceptional Zulu ibutho clubman which I think would be a better replacement.
Not sure about the skull-face on the knight (though I admit to being biased on this point :p), or on the ancient great spy (which is otherwise really excellent). Also, part of the problem with that skullface is that I made it with the modern great merchant head (so that I could get the top hat for a voodoo-ish great prophet) and there's an annoying jutting-out where the merchant's moustache was, so it's not ideal for a commonly-used unit like the knight.

Also, why'd you choose the pikeman with the spearman animation? I did a version of him with the impi animation too (it's in the same post) that I reckon looks way better.
 
Thanks for all comments... ;) ... I just want new comer to download
a complete set in one link... all credits... I give to danrell, bernie14,
Zerver, Rabbit White, GeneralMatt, and all modders here...sorry I
downloaded a lot... so can't remember which is whom...:D

As your requests I will...

1. Put Separate link for new units I re-modified (a lot) : that would be
Swordman (Still love Skull Face :p ), Spearman, Explorer, Great Spy,
and Cuirassier, May be tonight...(GMT +7)
2. Now I am working on Modern Settler... and will update it soon...
3. My XML files are in a mess now please wait until my modpack release.
4. Next Complete set will be East Asian... (50% now)

For African units
Some units I re-bone, re-skin again to make it a bit better... all units
should work fine in game... but when you open it with nifskope, it may
look different.

If you have a better idea I will put it to this collection... I still learn how to
re-skin... now I am at the "beginner" level.... If you have some idea... like
a better African mask... please put it to this site... I will love to add it into
this set...

When I created it, it was intended only for the balseraph merry men of FfH II :p

This collection looks beautiful. great stuff to everyone involved making it.
