[aaglo]

Hi!
Here is a half-pint militia-man, a hobbit with an axe. Watch out, he might hit you to the knee . Enjoy

Here are the files.
Hobbit Axeman

Attached are previews of some animations and civilopedia.

 

[Scytale]

Very nice! The feet are my favorite - they are as acurate as it gets .

 

[Drift]

Very nice. That knee thing wasn't a nice mental image though.

 

[Mithadan]

Perfect 10, man.

 

[Steel General]

[Mr. Magoo voice]By gosh aaglo...you've done it again[/Mr. Magoo voice]

 

[mrtn]

Thank you!
As for the other hobbits, maybe give them slightly shorter arms? This guy's Ape Coefficient is quite high.

 

[oilfan]

Looks like a hobbit to me. Great work, thank you!

 

[Raw is War?]

Very nice.

 

[Orthanc]

Thank goodness they don't use shoes, those feet would require one heck of a pair of Nike's.

And the thumbs go up again...

 

[tjedge1]

Yes! Now I can get better quality halflings!

Looks great. While he does look a bit ape-like in the Civ Pedia Picture, he looks fantastic in the demo. It will look great in-game. Maybe even better than Sid !

sweet unit aaglo. It looks a lttle different than those other hobbit units made by Kinboat(Ithink it was him), but I like the look of it nonetheless. Keep up the great work

 

[tjedge1]

They were done by Kindred72 I believe. He based them off the DragonLance Chronicles. Called them Kender.
If you didn't mean those:
Kinboat did a hobbit worker if that is what you meant.

 

[RRnut]

I think this looks great and totally hobbitish!

Here is an alternate civilopedia icon.
All respect to Aaglo. He does units I can't even imagine how to create; and while this unit is amazing, but this particular civilopedia icon seemed a bit below some of his others.
If there is any interest in having these in PCX format let me know.
Here is a GIF for preview.

 

[Snorken]

Nice little hobbitssess...

 

[PCHighway]

Excellent, thanks so much Aaglo, I love the way he looks compared to the Dwarves, it's perfect .
