North African Unit Pack

[Rob (R8XFT)]

Absolutely 100% sensational !!

 

[Mithadan]

Oh, okay. In that case, the only other North African units I can think of would be:

--Some more of those wicked looking Ethiopians (some with flintlocks) that Plotinus (if memory serves) requested. Super big spearheads, whitish robes, crazy black hair...

--A Vandal warrior of some kind (the Germanic barbarians that took over Carthage from the Romans). Heck, for this maybe all one need do is reanimate CivArmy's Visigoth model...!

--A Ptolemaic Phalangite (before the Roman acquisition of Egypt).

--A Berber or Arabic soldier from the early Muslim conquests of North Africa. Foot soldier would be nice here, as we've got plenty of mounted Arabic units.

--Maybe even an Axumite soldier (I've no clue what they looked like!!!)

Dunno if any of that piques your interest. Obviously North Africa is not my historical forté.

Ethiopia and Nubia arent apart of North Africa.
I want something native to North Africa so no romans or vandels. Carthage is ok

 

[Mithadan]

Hmmm. Then I'm fresh out of ideas. The only Carthaginian unit I can think of that I'd like is a nicer version of that Celtiberian legionary-type guy, but that's only a mercenary from Iberia that the Carthaginians employed, not a native Carthaginian at all. Drat. Hope somebody else has got better suggestions! At any rate, I'm off to bed. My going-to-sleep is long overdue.

Cheers,

Mithadan

P.S. I am really glad to see some historical units again (not to denigrate all that fun fantasy stuff, of course). Many thanks!

 

[CartesianFart]

Ok, you can post now.
I will make 2 more North African units. If you want to make a request in this thread thats fine

Cool! How about some more Israelis units?

 

[ShiroKobbure]

NORTH african

 

[Yabanjin]

Excellent job... It's always nice when people bring out packs of units and stuff. As your asking for requests, how about Moorish units. Moorish cavalry perhaps?

 

[COAtlantis1745]

Shiro these are absolutely amazing! Thank you very much for the Canaanite-ish spearman especially, he was a badly-needed Bronze Age unit indeed!

Some North African possibilities:

North African Slinger. Skin-tone variation would make this fella almost universal 'tween Egypt, Nubia, Libya and Carthage.

Libyan Egyptian Cavalry

Since Carthage utilized these Iberian-Celtic units, the Carthaginian Swordsman

...and companion piece. . .the Carthage Spearman. Could also double as a late Phoenician spear unit as well?

 

[Ares de Borg]

Let me have a look at my Osprey books...

 

[Ares de Borg]

Some ideas for a start. There's more if you want.

 

[Yoda Power]

How about making some Mamluk or Hafsid units? I could use them for my new scenario.

And very nice units btw

 

[Stormrage]

Make all of those!

Numidian Calvary

Unit:http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads11/Numidian.zip

Info:Numidia was an African Berber kingdom, in modern Tunisia. Carthage used the Numidian mercenaries in war, I think this is a better UU than the other Numidian Mercenary from PTW.

yess this is definitly a MUST-DOWNLOAD perfect also for the Barbarians (since the Numidian Kingdoms were at civil war during the prime of the Carthagian rule)

That archer is also superb (actualy all 4 are) since I finaly got a good UU for my Sudan/Nubia civ

 

[Stormrage]

Guys? Whats up with the horse`s front legs? he looks like is going to either brake them or fall down during the attack anim?

 

[Mithadan]

Oooh, frickin' eh! Do some of those Muslim Conquest units that Ares posted, for sure!

(Oh, and if you're thinking of doing COAtlantis1745's Iberian-Celtic "Carthaginian Swordsman," see if you can get Ares to scan "plate F" of Osprey Men-at-Arms 121 Armies of the Carthaginian Wars 265-146BC for a cooler pic of this guy.)

Editted out of existence...

Didn't realize there was a page 3...

YEEESSS, those Muslim blokes should do the trick from ancient time to modern

If they don't already been made just crank up some that fought the French Legion mid-19th century upto WW1. Especially horsebacks cavalry.

The ones already made is just top quality. Good on you mate

 

[Snorken]

Great units, Shiro.

 

[Grandraem]

These look great.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

OMG you made the Habiru ???
That thing is in my mod; i thought no one made/willmakeit so i added a strange looking spearman instead.
This is great.

Can i make a request too ? I see there are a lot of them over here... oh well, there is no harm in trying. But i should ask if it exists first.
Did anyone ever make a moorish cavalry unit ?
