Favorite Unit death animation

[agentsmith952]

Here's a silly question I don't think I've seen asked. What's your favorite unit death animation? For me, it would have to be longbowmen. I can't help but giggle at that funny animation where they grab their face and stumble backwards. Couple that with the "AIIEEE!" sound and it makes me laugh almost every time!

A close second would be crossbowmen. Nothing like getting shot by an archer and seeing them bly backwards about five million feet.

Definitely the Impi.... close second for the War Elephant

Mine is the chariot, it tumbles and collapses pretty loudly

i can't help but giggle if a missionary runs into a barb. they just kneel down and pray before they die, poor guys.

I wish I could edit my poll and add more options. I didn't even think of war elephants!

I love Rifles vs Crossbows, especialy when you get those occasional Mexican standoff RNG rolls where they just seemingly ping arrows and bullets at each other doing no damage.

Then suddenly, its like the rifleman says "I had enough of this, pass me the Elephant Gun", and "bang" the crossbowman gets thrown 30 feet backwards, like an A Team stuntman

^ I agree crossbow does die the most tragic death.

I love watching Longbowmen get it in the eye.

I like it when the greniader kills someone the explosion right in there face it's funny...

How about this:

A worker sits there in a forest area, working on a tile. Just then, out of nowhere, a Cavalry just runs across the terrain towards the forest.
Next thing you know, you see the cavalry, raise their rifle,s the workers stop working and put their hands up.
Now that's an awesome animation!

When a Modern Armor nails a Longbowmen,

The poor Longbowmen takes a round of depleted uranium armor piercing high explosive right in the eye...... thats gotta hurt, for about 40ms.

 

[Desert-Fox]

Crossbowmen.

... Funniest animation, Xbows, but most delightful is those pesky longbows when they finally go down in the masses of trebs and landsknechts!
