Complete Set African (human) Units

[siam]

Thanks all great modders in this site. Please give them a big credit
I have learned a lot.....and now it's time to give it back......

Now I finished my African units... many units from great modders here
and many units... I just re-bone, re-skin, and modify them to look like
what I have seen from history books and movies as much as possible ...
If you need to download a beautiful complete unit set..... it's here.

Wow, stellar stuff! You certainly know how to make a first impression.

 

[esnaz]

this is nice, continue with this nice work!

For custom avatar, you need a number of posts and/or a couple of month since registration. Looks like you can already do that or you will be able in 26 posts. Very nice work by the way !

This is great I don't think I've seen that explorer before - did you make it? I'd love to have more flavor explorers!

 

[mamba]

You have a nice collection there, I don't think I have seen the explorer or cuirassier before. Speaking of the cuirassier, imo the reins should not be in the civ-specific color, they should always be black (you were asking for suggestions).

very very nice....hope to see more!!!

Really nice, i really like the Maceman and the Swordsman, very nice details.

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

Siam, you forgot to tan face of the longbowman. Thus far, this set is really top notch. Very !

 

[Wolfshanze]

The vast majority are previously released... a few new ones in here, but I think the "skull face" thing is used on too many units... and the swordsman is way over the top... it just makes me think more Halloween costume then African Swordsman.

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

Well, perhaps it will be fixed when siam will release is full mod. By the way, are you (siam) going to make a modern settler as chuggi released a caucasian one at CU ?

Linkie, please?

No, follow Ball Lightning link to Civ United in WoL thread, that's more simple and faster !

Here's the link, and hunting it down according to your description sure wasn't easier than providing a link as far as I am concerned.

Here are a couple of masks if you were wondering? Dont look an worse than these. The one on the right is King Kuba

Nice... but those masks are more varied then a same-old skull mask. I was only refering to having some diversity, not the same-o, same-o. Actually an African tribal mask would be kinda cool... just not the same thing over and over again.

You know... something like this:

Some nice new units here, love the Malinese cuirassier and the explorer and the ancient spy!
I do think it would've been better just to release the new units you've done seperately, though, since I'm only really seeing a few new or edited ones in the pack. Even better would be to do up some XML and release it as a modular modpack.

Couple of minor things - I agree that the Omens swordsman is a bit over-the-top; sepamu created an exceptional Zulu ibutho clubman which I think would be a better replacement.
Not sure about the skull-face on the knight (though I admit to being biased on this point ), or on the ancient great spy (which is otherwise really excellent). Also, part of the problem with that skullface is that I made it with the modern great merchant head (so that I could get the top hat for a voodoo-ish great prophet) and there's an annoying jutting-out where the merchant's moustache was, so it's not ideal for a commonly-used unit like the knight.

Also, why'd you choose the pikeman with the spearman animation? I did a version of him with the impi animation too (it's in the same post) that I reckon looks way better.

Thanks for all comments... ... I just want new comer to download
a complete set in one link... all credits... I give to danrell, bernie14,
Zerver, Rabbit White, GeneralMatt, and all modders here...sorry I
downloaded a lot... so can't remember which is whom...

As your requests I will...

1. Put Separate link for new units I re-modified (a lot) : that would be
Swordman (Still love Skull Face ), Spearman, Explorer, Great Spy,
and Cuirassier, May be tonight...(GMT +7)
2. Now I am working on Modern Settler... and will update it soon...
3. My XML files are in a mess now please wait until my modpack release.
4. Next Complete set will be East Asian... (50% now)

For African units
Some units I re-bone, re-skin again to make it a bit better... all units
should work fine in game... but when you open it with nifskope, it may
look different.

If you have a better idea I will put it to this collection... I still learn how to
re-skin... now I am at the "beginner" level.... If you have some idea... like
a better African mask... please put it to this site... I will love to add it into
this set...

When I created it, it was intended only for the balseraph merry men of FfH II

This collection looks beautiful. great stuff to everyone involved making it.
