Achilles... Or a Greek Swordsman... Or Almost any Mediterranian Bronze Age Swordsman.

Preview of the attacks... Each attack cycles on it's own so you can use any combination in any order that you want.

It's been a little longer than I said it would be... But here it is. Achilles with a Civ-Specific Color on his shield instead of the Dark Red in the version above. I just have the FLC's in this zip so you'll need the first version if you want the INI file and the Civilopedia images.

Great stuff. Have you ever thought of making units with capes or cloaks?

Every time I get close to finishing my ancient world mod, some new great unit comes out that I have to add. Oh well, the Greeks will be happy- thanks again for a great unit and amen to the civ-colored shield idea.

Not sure about Hypaspist... I don't think anyone is. But perhaps Machairophoros would be a better name.

He does have other civ-specific spots... The blue on his helmet crest and a band at the bottom of his tunic... Xen just wanted more.

I haven't seen Troy so this wasn't inspired by that

I have done a few cloaks and robes... They just make everything harder to animate. Did you have a specific request in mind or was that just a general question?

The shield is beautiful, civ-specific or not! Thanks for another great unit!
