Well, this is just a slightly altered animation of Jimmyh's Throwing Axeman unit. I just changed the .flc so he follows his attack through. Could be used to represent Galloglass Mercenaries.

Well, the mercenaries were mostly Vikings and Scotch but served in the Irish armies.

It's useable for me anyway. I've tried to change the clothes of units by cutting and pasting but I can't do it effectively.

Actually it was suppose to throw the axe, but the frame wasn't big enough in JimmyH's tool he made to make AOE and AOK conversions.

(No, he didn't release the tool)

This is a like that explains what a Galloglass is.

It was me who suggested that it could be a used as a Galloglass.
The previewed modification was in the Irish leaderhead thread by Sween32. I have been looking for a Galloglass unit and I thought this was close enough to do.
If you can have the Numidian mercinary as a UU for Carthage, I thought why not the Galloglass for Ireland.

thanks skullbones!

I was still not sure if I should use this unit or not, but now I will!

btw, the shadows and transparancy on this unit are so much better than on some other AoK units. Is that handwork or is this unreleased tool so much better?

Oh, and last question shouldn't the run animation be more up to speed with civ 3 units?
