Flamand - Puddle Jumper

utahjazz - Aztec Knight

Lizardmen Rule - Hellhound

Ohhhh.... It's so hard to choose beween the Aztec Knight and the Roman Officer! (BTW, you said "April" in the thread title, it's supposed to be"May").

 

[Red Door]

April? Quick, change it to May!!!!

 

[Flamand]

Oh Cr*p... time flies...

 

[Red Door]

I voted for the Roman Officer...

 

[Flamand]

Is there a way to edit poll questions? Otherwise: it pronounced 'May', but is WRITTEN as 'April'...

 

[odintheking]

Ask a mod.

 

[Orthanc]

I went for the Aztec Knight, solid animation with great, original modelling, it's one of those units you'll forget Firaxis didn't make it.

The Etiopian Javelineer came very close for me...

 

[Ogedei_the_Mad]

I like the Ethiopian Javelin, not only because it is one of the very few Sub-Saharan African units available but the javelin attack animation seems to be expertly done.

Utahjazz's Aztec knight was a close second.

 

[CamJH]

I vote for the Keeper of Secrets.

Hold on a sec... aaglo didn't enter it! Guess I'll have to vote for the flying carpet then.

Another great competition this month guys. All of those units are wonderful contributions to the Civ world.

 

[Goldflash]

When are we going to see somethign from you, CamJH?

I voted Ethiopian as well.

 

[Traianus]

Aztec Knight for me. The rider is very well done. The shield is very cool.

 

[WerBackIII]

Go-go Roman Officer!

 

[Plotinus]

I like the Ethiopian Javelin, not only because it is one of the very few Sub-Saharan African units available but the javelin attack animation seems to be expertly done.

Utahjazz's Aztec knight was a close second.

Thank you - I'm very touched that anyone would think my unit superior to Utahjazz's excellent one, or indeed any of the fine work on display here. It really is a big boost when you're not much experienced at this sort of thing.

 

[Traianus]

i think that would have been my choice for second. It's not far short of Utah's. Another really good unit!

 

[Stormrage]

I voted for the ethiopian

 

[WildWeazel]

The Roman Officer gets my vote. I always like Roman units.

 

[CamJH]

When are we going to see somethign from you, CamJH?

Well, I never reinstalled Poser after my computer crashed a couple months back, but it's become more and more tempting lately. I may have to dig up the cd over the weekend. It's been so long since I've put together a unit though, I'd probably have to go through utah's tutorial.

 

[Stormrage]

CamJH! CamJH!

 

[Goldflash]

Wow, it looks like the Maypril Unit makers Competiton will be close!
