Cool, how come you only made three though? Maybe because theres alot of natives already on the forums? Can't say I blame you but your a creative one and I enjoy seeing your creations.

 

[Chuggi]

Looks good, especially the horseman. Glad my stuff has been useful

 

[mamba]

Looking forward to the next 6

 

[woodelf]

They'll do nicely. Good stuff danrell.

 

[danrell]

Thanks
I already used bts's native units in game,
these 3 units to fill in the vacancy, So should not make the others

Thanks Chugginator , your units are great, I also used your Flavor worker in game

Great stuff, Danrell! Love the work you're doing.

On a side note: Does anyone know if there are any Native American musketman, rifleman and cavalry units available somewhere?

Seeing Native American warriors turn into American-looking cavalry and rifleman after discovering gun powder is rather disturbing (to say the least), and doesn't really make any sense to me whatsoever. The Native American tribes had firearms (springfields, winchesters, etc.), but they didn't lose their traditional appearance entirely with the use of gun powder ... and they certainly didn't look like Custer.

Of all the civs in the game, they seem the most 'short changed' when it comes to the unit graphics. No native american gun powder units, and most of their earlier melee units appear to be south american in style.

I think if you search the forums you'll find alot of Native units, if no rifleman are there I'll ask Bakuel if he's willing to make some more natives.

There is a very nice cavalry unit out there, but no other decent north american native gunpowder units that I have come across

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Anyone else know of a Musket or Rifle native?

 

[sepamu92]

Looks great, danrell! I like the pikeman's shield!
@Sword_Of_Geddon: Bakuel's Mesoamerican/Andean pack has a Musket, Rifle and Cavalry for south & central americans. Don't know how appropriate they would be for the Native American civ.

 

[Zimarath]

Absolutely stunning as usual.

I've just renamed my mod to "A tribute to Danrell" cos most of the units are made by guess who?

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Only THREE? Are you kidding me? danrell, I'm disappointed...

Just kidding. These look great! I won't be needing anymore.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Well I wish someone would compile a list of native and I mean non-mesoamerican units.

 

[The Navy Seal]

Wow, there awesome!

 

[GeoModder]

There's no native musketman yet afaik, except for the Jaguar musketman. But there is a generic native/meso rifleman (looks like a US-post civil war infantry) and a native cavalry which I used as a native cuirassier. (the rifle doesn't fit the era of course )
For the earlier unit classes, there's a number of models outthere and I found at least one for every class except for the crossbow, which I slotted the atl-atl in for the moment.

By native I mean non-mesoamerican, got plenty of those already lol....

After doing several searches on the forums I've come to the conclusion that there just aren't very many Native American unit graphics. Most of what's out there seems to be derived from South American unit graphics, with their exotic animal and feathered headresses, and all manner of crazy-looking weapons that look odd in the hands of Native American units.

There's a nice Native American cavalry unit, an archer unit, a canoe, and ... well ... that's about it. There are some minor re-skins here and there, but nothing really close to the look of units that actually appear to be from the Native American civilization, with tribal and frontiersman dress, tomahawks, bows, rifles, etc. There are some unit graphics that are close (like Bakuel's andean graphics), but even they are clearly South American in design.

Incidentally, Civ III doesn't seem to have this problem, as Steph has a whole thread overflowing with awesome looking Sioux unit graphics.

Yes i've seen that before. It'll be interesting to make. Basically it's a native american in european clothes and some native american symbols and shall we say "components"
