Unit Request! Kalaripayattu or Kalari ~ The first Martial Artist

[Mithadan]

This is a really cool unit idea, in my books. There is a dearth of subcontinental Indian units, especially for a civ that's been around since Civilization I! (or so I remember...vaguely)

'Course I can't imagine a unit maker doing the ribbon sword. The sword the jumping guy has got in the first pic would be far more reasonable, I presume.

I had this almost unconscious response that it would be fun to play a mod called the battle of frogs and mice, then consciously reread that post, and laughed at myself. Made me reflect on the kind of post the mythical newbee would leave, so I made a comepletely inappropriate response and posted it. Just a non-sequitor.

Ah ok, that was too much for my brain convolutions. For a moment I thought you were drunk

Actually, now that I think about it, a 'Battle of Frogs and Mice' mod would be fun indeed. Oh, and of course the literally inclined among you will have noticed the classical allusion

 

[CartesianFart]

I agree that this unit should be made.Unit makers really underate India and its rich history.

 

[The Last Conformist]

If the urumi is too hard, make the unit with a sabre like the ones in Ram's pic in the OP.

More visual references...
(without the urumi)

WTH is wrong with them? They have jet-packs or something? People can`t jump that high! Michael Jordan couldn`t do that!

 

[Rambuchan]

These guys don't even have the Air Jordans on their feet!

 

[The Capitalist]

I can't believe that nobody(the unit makers) made these,these guys are cool!

Like a lot of worthy ideas, this one will probably fade into obscurity.
