This set contains 24 Stone Age Javelineers that I've made, collected or assembled using models and textures released by firaxis or other forum modders.
By reading this THREAD you'll understand the purpose of this collection, and you'll find additional in-game screenshots also.
In the process of learning blender, I reworked my previous javelineers in order to improve their look. Nothing really new here, simply an attempt to do old stuff better. Now you have 3 fresh meshes to reuse or reskin at your pleasure.
Compare to previous version, the most important differences are:
they wear real shorts instead of textured ones
they have better heads for middle-east and european models
These units are fully playable with nifscope, have both shader and no-shader nif and all strictly needed art files. Use vanilla maliskirmisher artdefine for xml purpose. Tharcian and Dacian javelineers use mongolian anims, while the remaining 22 javelineers use maliskirmisher anims.
The package contains 2 animation folders for convenience (mali->"anim" and mongolian->"anim_peltast"), and a "anim_effects" folder to manage the different kind of javelin when they reach the opposite field, otherwise a "custom" javelin turns into a "default" javelin during its path (read HERE for more details). A detailed jav_spears_readme.txt file into "anim_effects" folder explains how to do that.
Credits go to EVERYONE who made ancient units before me.
