North African Unit Pack

[odintheking]

Oh, baby! These will really help my mod, thank you, .

BTW: Could you do an Eyptian with a bow and arrow? I know Kinboat mad made one, but I need two for my mod.

 

[ShiroKobbure]

can you upload some photos of moorish calvary?

 

[machia]

​

The Moorish are the ones with turbans

 

[Yabanjin]

Shiro I have never been able to get used to the upload system. Here is the link to the picture I had in mind at dba http://www.dbaol.com/armies/army_65_figure_1.htm

Good Job all of your units

 

[Ozymandias]

Wonderful additions, Shiro

Many Thanks,

Oz

So it was never made ??? That is strange...

@machia: I'm not quite sure those are moorish cavalrymen... I seem to recall them being a berber nation so they have a more darker shade of the skin.
The moorish neophytes formed only a part of the muslim army that conquered spain. So in that picture those must be the other part of the army.

@shiro: I searched for a picture of a moorish cavalryman when i was looking for a wonder splash and i didn't found anything.
This is the closest thing to it:

This looks better, and more specific. (it is also the wondersplash for my "mauri" wonder ). They look better with that black hood-turban thingy than with the turban. This way they could be used in pre-muslim scenarios like the roman empire ones.

Imperial Arab

Berber & Moorish

High Moorish (Granada)

The thing is unit makers don`t have acces (yet, atleast I haven`t noticed one?) to an arabian horse breed model
Poser horses are just plain ...fat.

Odin - I think Rob made an Egyptian archer.

 

[Mithadan]

An emphatic "yes" to all the Moorish stuff above!!! (Mind you, I'd prefer foot units over mounted units as there are quite a few mounted-types already...but whatever.)

 

[ShiroKobbure]

well the poser horse is skinny. I use utahjazz's morphs to make it fat.

Im going to make the Moorish calvary
and a foot unit.

 

[Stormrage]

Where can I see a default poser horse?

Moors are cool Thanks.

 

[ShiroKobbure]

 

[Yabanjin]

Looking good...

 

[Bungus]

because North Africa is a mostly caucasian. "North African" is a term for caucasians native in North Africa.
Dont mistake Numidia with Nubia

I Did! And I'll do it again! AHAHAHAHA

But do you have accesss to a camel model? That's the most needed deserty type unit

 

[ShiroKobbure]

no I dont, but Dom and Aluminiums AoE conversions both have camel riders

 

[Goldflash]

I have two Requests/Ideas

Light Ancient Egyptian Infantry:
Egyptian Dude wth a loincloth and little or no other armor, maybe a buckler or some other small shield, with a spear or a sling or both. He's poor and can't afford the good stuff like armor and Kopeshes.

And...

Barbary Corsair
Fellow in a Turban and such, with a scimtar and a flintlock pistol.

 

[Stormrage]

The Moor looks great! Even the horse looks better, somehow

 

[Heretic_Cata]

I like where this is going...
The horse doesn't seem that fat.

 

[Stormrage]

The horse looks much better than in the javelin thrower dude preview. Does this horsy brake its legs during the attack anim too? No offense, I realy like your units, but it seems only Bebro`s horse units are good enough for me. I got spoiled!
