Love your Pikemen, Dease... you are delivering Masterpieces, one by one.

Lookin' good. The flappy bit round the Tupi Pikeman's waist seems to be behaving rather oddly though

 

[tjedge1]

Love these pikemen. Keep up the good work.

 

[DoubleT]

Yes very good units, maybe a bit squar?

 

[Dease]

Thanks for the comments everyone!

I mistakenly overlooked the death and victory anims when tweaking the skeleton for this unit sorry 'bout that, attached is a "patch" with the two fixed anims, also the first post will/has been updated with the new file along with the patch
NOTE: I haven't tested these, but they should be centered and such, if someone could confirm this I'd appreciate it.
EDIT: I'll update the preview once I finish rendering it
EDIT2: new preview uploaded

No... South American.

The Egyptian guy shouldn't have so much armour. The hot climate made heavy body armour impossible - that is what actually defeated many European crusaders back in the middle ages.

Well, there's a rather long debate in kinboat's thread if you'd like some quality reading
but my (totally uneducated) view, is that these guys were main line defenders, they didn't really have to move/run around alot, that's what all the other lightly armored units were for.
and when they were travelling, I'd assume they'd simply take off all the plate armor(and the helmet), there's scale armor under it so they'd still have protection but would still be able to move fairly freely.

Thanks,
to be exact it for the tupis but it could be used for really any mesoamerican civ other than a northern tribe.
As for the epic game, I'm not sure which civ it would go best with, maybe someone else knows?

 

[lordwei]

BRAVO!!!!!
Many thanks

2 new "pikemen" added,
the Dwarf Halberdier, and the Viking Halberdier
Enjoy!

 

[odintheking]

YES!! These are great,

 

[Kinboat]

These look wonderful... Although I didn't realize you were posting these all in one thread

The only thing I would change would be to make the Viking's beard a little smaller. But the Dwarf looks cool with the big beard.

 

[mrtn]

Cool.
It seems that the dwarf pedia (and preview gif) has horns, but not the dwarf itself, would you care to make a new pedia reflecting that fact?

OMG, i can't have been so dumb
*checks the unit*
Dang, I was I used the viking model for the dwarf . as for your request, just use the viking pic sine it's the exact same model as the dwarf, unfourtunatley. (I really liked those horns)
