New unit: Kossar (archer) (sep 5th, 2005)

[aaglo]

Hi!

Here is a warhammer fantasy unit: Kislevite Kossar. Due to their looks, they could also be used as some slavic archer/axeman. Enjoy

Here's some civilopedia from the Kislev rulebook (by games workshop):
The Kossars were an Ungol tribe who worked as mercenaries against the other Ungols at the time of the Gospodar invasion. They had adopted a very unique style of fighting with bow and axe, which they then went on to teach the Gospodar warriors. Nowadays, Kossar regiments are a combined force of Ungol and Gospodar soldiers, trained and kept by the Tzairina as a standing Kislevite force. They are well drilled, able to both attack at range with their bows, and meet the enemy at close quarters with their axes.

Here are the files:
Kossar (~614 kb)

Here are previews of some animations: fidget, run, fortify, attackA, attackB and victory.

Attached is a civilopedia preview.

Wohoo!!! First Post!

Great! Definately going in the mod as a flavour unit! Any chance of a Nubian archer at all?

 

[Arne]

Great! It could be used for keltian archer too, I guess.

The Monk by Kinboat would work for that I think. I was working on a cut and paste unit as well. I have no opposition to Aaglo making his own though, since whatever I make should be considered a filler anyway, well except for my Incan Grenadier....

I wanted a black-skinned version. All the Kinboat units are flavour units for Egypt in the mod.

Monk is black skinned...

[BadKharma]

Another wonderful job!

 

[mrtn]

Nice one mate!

 

[Scytale]

Wow! I'm starting to like Kislev! Could you do a Kislev Boyar too?

 

[Orthanc]

Bows and arrows with an axe as a backup? Very unique, again aaglo's creative mind punches through into a new and interesting unit.

naturally...

This is a very nice unit. You are a unit producing factory by yourself Do you plan to move to civ4 fast, or keep making civ3 units?

 

[Vuldacon]

Very Good aaglo...love the combo weapons. He is both a long distance and an "up close and personal" fighter

 

[Bjornlo]

This unit will certainly be widely used. I know I will be adding it to my game. Just have to sort out where it is the best fit.

Sweet. A more fitting Norse archer now. Another unit for the Mystara mod.

 

[Mithadan]

Cool, this is one of those fantasy units that has a handy carry-over into RL. Multipurpose is great. Mind you, with that hat I can't decide if this guy would be more middle-ages or renaissance-style. Either way, thank-you!

 

[Snorken]

Nice unit, aaglo.

 

[Sildo]

Very multi purpose and very usefull
