Wow! It's awesome, Utah. Thanks!
I mean its perfect. The feathers are a really nice tough.
Ah, those are feathers?
I thought they were supposed to be wool!

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

It is wool. It just has that nice "feathery" look, like the depictions.If they were actual feathers, the soldier would have to have caught an ostrich or something.

I could do this easily after my EFZI pack.
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.

Thank you.
I'm not familiar with CivIV, but is your avatar from an equivalent unit found in CivIV?
