Arnor and Numenor are so far most complete and most unique right?
Arnor has all of the new units, yes. I still need to add the others.

Some of these units were originally released by Chuggi. (Specifically the worker and (I believe?) the warrior.) I am re-releasing them here for convenience.
Many others. If you recognize some of your work, please let me know and I will highlight you here.
 
Nice! Let me give you a fun idea. Your username is topsecret, so a funny idea is to change the name of the thread to Topsecret Units.
Maybe if I release a set of spies. ;) But not for now. :)
 
Sneak peek on the Gondor pack. I have 5 (don't quote me on that...) more units to make and then I will release it for everyone to use. :D Check out the new wings on the helmet. :)

Sneak peek on the Gondor pack. I have 5 more units to make :w00t:
Woooow these are gorgeous topsecret! The swords are exquisite. Is it your texturing that makes the chainmail look so richly detailed? And those dark mantles really bring it all together >> powerful, elegant, elite. I'd say they've earned their new wings. Only 5 more to go!

EDIT: Oooops I just read your parenthetical remark. Also, I might have misquoted you, but only just a little bit :p :D

Thank you topsecret! :w00t:

fromAustria created the Guards of the Citadel unit from one of my original units. He deserves credit for that one. :)

For reference purposes, I was really tempted to post a pic here of Civ4's vanilla swordsman...

But before I knew it, the marching band had already taken the field to celebrate this milestone (the yellow one is clapping big cymbals together):

:clap::dance::dance::dance: :hatsoff:

This is an incredible achievement topsecret. Thank you for bringing true glory to Gondor~!!

The worker was created by Chuggi.

Many of the meshes were originally made by Bakuel. Most of these are reskins although many are nif-swaps as well.

Ambrox62 made a few of the meshes and weapons.

Many others. If you recognize some of your work, please let me know and I will highlight you here.

Rohan Soldiers from Chuggi + Weapons by Ambrox62/Bakuel + Shield Reskin by Bakuel/me =

plus a surprise coming later this week
 
Oh these look fantastic! Nice and clean presentation. Don't know if you tweaked the helmet as well? But that is one gorgeously crisp shield. Looks like you even got some age-worn quality on it. And the Rohan coat of arms and the design on the rim... :love:

Nope, no helmet modification. But I do have some customized soldiers coming up. Chuggi's ones look so good I didn't have to make many.

The shield is easy. Uses stuff I have shown in my videos:

IndianShield0Bosses13.png


Bakuel made this shield. I used clone to get rid of the cross pattern.
Use desaturate to change it to gray
Use colorize to color the whole thing green but with the same high quality shades that Bakuel uses.
Find the Rohan Icon and make it white.
Resize it and use smudge to make it fit.

End result: Shiny shield. :D
 
The greatest art assets for a Civ4 unit maker for Ancient/Medieval/Humanoid Fantasy units are Bakuel and Ambrox62's units. I use them all the time. I could not have got here without them or Chuggi's LOTR work before me. :)
