Unit Pack: Pikemen

[Arne]

Nice units. May be, the egyptian pikeman needs a little more contrast? Compared to the Civ3 pikeman he looks a little "pale".

 

[Dease]

first post updated, and added the Koori Pikeman
next is the Mimbukabá

@ arne - you could just choose black as the civcolour

 

[IamsocleveR]

I very much like your pikemen, Dease.

Pray tell, who are the Koori?

 

[Dease]

Thanks,
the kooris are Australian aboriginals, the armor on the unit is croc skin

 

[Goldflash]

Which one is next?

 

[Communisto]

Sick! the Rasta Farian Pikeman i absolutely love IT!

 

[Straczynski]

Which one is next?

The Mimbukabá... My Tupi guy!

 

[TopGun]

Ohh my ohh yes! The Koori Pikeman is here! Thanks, Dease, he looks awesome!

 

[KabeDerlin]

Very impressive. Good job.

Huh? the koori thing, are you sure it's an australian aboriginal? certainly doesn't look like that. they don't wear armour nor shoes. they also have markings on their bodies.

 

[Master Kodama]

Great units all. Keep them coming.

But I keep wondering: with these great Koori units being created (of which the afore-posted pikeman is an excellent example), where's the Boomerang Warrior, the essential Aboriginal unit? How can you have the Koori without boomerangs? That's like the Norse without Berserks, the Japanese without Samurai, pizza without cheese, pastries without cream filling!

 

[TopGun]

Kodama, great master... I am still hoping for the Boomerang Warrior as well... but I'm glad we've gor the Pikeman and the Crocodile Warrior!

Hmm, keep up here. It is a what-if unit - what might have developed if the aboriginal australians had progressed technologicaly into a middle-ages like society...

Love the unit. I don't use australia though - may have to steal it for another culture...

looks to me like you'll have to steal it for another culture as ancient australian units and middle age aus units were the same thing. and as australia moved into the modern ages, they used western units.

The armor is croc skin, I'd assume they would realize by the middleages that they should find protection from projectiles
Infact, he doesn't have shoes, he has croc skin ankle guards, they cover 'bout half his feet
And he does have red markings all over his body, sometimes it's more noticable on different views, but they're there

BTW, a tupi preview is in the preview thread.

 

[Dease]

The tupi pikeman is here

And here's a larger pic from the preivew thread

 

[Supa]

The Tupi is very colorful. And good, thanks you

But.. Aren't you afraid to step on CivArmy's toes ?

 

[Dease]

Nah, Straczincsky checked with civarmy to see if he was going to do one, apparently he wasn't so I did strac's request
Glad you like it though.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Great and colorful...perfect anotherwords...

Whats next for the Dease Pikeman factory?

 

[Goldflash]

Either the Spanish pikeman or the English Pikeman with a PIKE, not a long spear.
