WOW Plotinus! Great units! I put some of these in my Mod immediately. My regret is I cant' use all your units. Thanks.

Thanks for the comments, all.

Blue Monkey, a Tamil Archer shouldn't be too much of a problem. I'll PM you about it.

Nice animations and prop variety, as usual

 

[aaglo]

Cool, Plot

I wonder what those bows & strings are made of - the bows are stiff as if under the influence of viagra, but the strings are like twine

 

[Antiochus VII]

Incredible! The Kanem-Bornu one is a particularly unexpected treat - I've been trying to put that Civ together for a long time!

 

[T-mun]

And the body paintings on the Mursi Archer is a really nice touch. He's got my preference. All great units BTW

 

[CC-2224]

Superb archers, Plotinus! The body paintings on the Mursi archer are an excellent addition!

 

[Blue Monkey]

The really well done body paint on the Mursi makes me think he would be useful for the Australian civs as well.

 

[BadKharma]

Very nice hob on the archers you seem to be filling alot of african holes.

Oh, that could be understood so wrong...

 

[Spacer One]

and I was afraid I was the only one who might see that as misreadable...

 

[Tank_Guy#3]

Great unit pack, I especially like the Mursi archer.

 

[Gen. Rommel]

Beautiful units Plot! I really like the Mursi archer, he looks like a lethal warrior...

One question: which of these would be the most fitting for a Kenyan/Massai civilization? I figure the turban wearing (and therefore more Arabian looking) ones would be the least fitting, correct? I'd appreciate your thoughts on the matter.

Not necessarily, as the coastal regions of Eastern Africa were pretty heavily colonized by the Arabs

 

[Quinzy]

Kenyan IlMurran traditionally dress in the much seen red cloak, so I don't think that any are fitting for a Maasai here

 

[Plotinus]

It's true that the turban look could suit a Kenyan warrior. Perhaps the Sudanese Archer, with red civ colour, might work. Alternatively, the African Archer might work too, since the more stripped-down look is pretty common in most of Africa.

 

[Sandris]

Plot, do you plan to make medieval african archers, maybe arabic-like ones ?

 

[Plotinus]

Well, I think most of these are medieval. I'm not planning on making any Arabian units since there are already a fair few.

 

[Stormrage]

Not really, but Sandris will get there eventually..

3 of them are obvious fantasy units. Others are really old school. The only one (and I keep records of this, with graphic presentations and everything ) that resembles the units we have today is the Arabian Archer (either Utah or Kinboat, can `t remember).

 

[PredatorFett]

These have the best textures of any unit I have EVER seen.
