New Unit: Sumerian Infantry (April 12, 2007)

Maybe this companion piece might be appropriate? Using the same model and props? :mischief:

Should be called Sumerian Spearman.
 
Regarding the DBAOL depiction. The black spots on his cape actually ought to be little pieces of metal, a primitive type of body armour. And his shield should have a boss in the middle, like the one carried by the pikeman.

As for the dude himself, he would probably have been one of the better off citizens or a minor noble. His helmet and axe would be made of bronze.

In the unit tree he would appear before the Sumerian pikeman, but fight alongside him until the Kassites came down from their hills and shot them with their bows, after which the Kassites ruled Babylonia for ca. four centuries.

Another cool request would be a simple Mesopotamian javilinman. Wearing that neat wool-feather-kilt-thing and nothing else. Javelinmen were very common in early warfare.
 
Looks great. Your animations are always beautiful.:goodjob: :)
