Songhai Knight is Mali, not Chinese(I keep getting the two confused myself lol)
DPII' unit is in his African pack(The Dark Continent) back somewhere on this board. What R8XFT wants I think, is an upgrade for that, something like Kal-el's drawing.

Yeah, Songhai was an empire in the Mali area. The Knight was the best fit for Mali's UU.

Songhai and Shanghai. I thought the first was Chinese, but not Shanghai... 
The Songhai Knight is being used as Ghana's UU in the mod. The Zebra raider is the earliest form of mounted unit the Africans can build.
I have the colour conversion of the Horseman which I can use and am going to experiment with mounted units in Poser. It was just that if you were doing one, then a basic mounted pre-gunpowder unit of your choice for the Africans would be nice. Perhaps something akin to the Ancient Cavalry

How about an "Archer of the Eyes" unit for the Nubians? The Nubians were famous for their archers.

I think Odedai was thinking of the Medival Christian Nubians that held off the Arabic conquerors for several hundred years, though I could be wrong.

well in Egyptian times Nubia was famous for the archers, which is why they hired nubian mercenaries has archers and why the Egyptian word for "Nubia" is "Ta-Seti" meaning Land of the Bow.
do you think you could make the unit I requested as I am planning on making a Nubian civ ^-^//

Hey, S_o_G, I got your pm, and I've seen your unit. I think it looks pretty nice. It just looks funny to me because I know that those body parts belong elsewhere. But, I think this is a good cut-and-paste job.
Oh, don't worry about crediting me for the original units. It's not important.

I think it is. Both of those units were fantastic works of art. I hope you continue to grace these boards with your work Utah.
