Thanks! Im glad you like the unmasked Knight. On the pants thing, I once read that the early robe wearing Chinese warriors used Chariots, after the introduction of horseback riding the Chinese warriors had to develop (that is to say borrow from Northern and Central Asian tribes) trousers in order to ride the horses comfortable. The Egyptians clothing might have developed similar; their warriors at the least have to develop pants. I just think that they would have worn a loose robe/pants combo like these guys,

Perhaps some just wearing robes and short leggings so the knee down is bare. Of course Im just talking about the robe/pants and how they fit together; Im not going to make Turkish/Greek soldiers of the 19th century. Honestly.
Thanks Chugginator!
Ill see to that armored horse, thats a good idea and would make the guy look more medieval. About the Nubian bowman, originally there was going to be a normal Egyptian bowman too, this guy was more of a bonus unit I was making since the Egyptian were always employing Nubian archers. Sadly enough, while I was trying to finalize a design on the Egyptian bowman (black wig or cloth headdress thing?) for the update though, I got side tracked thinking about Egyptian rifleman. Since I said I would update today I just uploaded the finished units. Hopefully Ill finish it some other time.
Added the missing pikeman screenshots!Sorry about that! It was 2:00 AM and I just wanted to go to bed, give me a break.
The pikeman is loosely based on Kal-el's concept art.
