Ancient/Pre-Steam Unit Graphics

[Varwnos]

i will probably work on it somemore, since i am not sure just what level of detail people have come to expect for civ2 units!

[The ANZAC]

varwnos: I like it! One thing, maybe the sabre curves too drastically near the end of it? I think the shading is good, though you can never have too much of it

ty Anzac

i made two versions of Ypsilante:
the first isnt historical, it has the "laura" land greek flag (it looked like the flag finland has now). But at least it is more clear what its emblem is.
The second is again an attempt to make the flag in the painting, which i am not familiar with, and was probably just used locally in the rebellion in the moldavian hegemonies.

[Varwnos]

And although i do not want to take over the thread (where are all of the other creators? ) here is a last update: the same units + an ottoman bey and the "philhellene" unit

the philhellene is supposed to look like a french author, for example victor hugo.

the good thing about the philhellene unit is that it is usable in many scenarios and not at all strictly at a greek revolution scen, which anyway i guess wont be made...

[Varwnos]

i will have to try hard to top the sheer decadence of this unit:

this is a "zorba"

zorba is just a name, it doesnt mean anything, but i named it this because it is doing its little dance. I personally absolutely detest this stereotype of Greece, but the unit can be used as a happy revolter (and hopefully be put to the sword)

Mmmm, is his first name by any chance Alexis?

Excellent work

Ty JP

here are two more greek revo units:

The Ali Pasha!

you can check the painting here: (the pic doesnt automatically show when linked unfortunately) : http://members.fortunecity.com/fstav...1/alipasha.jpg

Miaoulis (he was one of the main heros, and a sort of admiral, although the greek fleet wasnt exactly on par with the brittish empire at the time!)

Here is my puny attempt on a mid-14th century mounted mercenary from Italy

[Varwnos]

This is a VERY nice unit JP a lot better than my own (but i am an amateur in this).

I reworked my byz archer

[jim panse]

Good job on that, comrade

Here is another Early Renaissance, this time a pedestrian

[Cyrion]

Very nice!

[Palaiologos]

Say, Gareth (you being Welsh and all) where do you keep those tatooed & blue-painted British Celts?
Better still, that scantily dressed Boudicca, charging on her British chariot?
I am sure you keep these somewhere

Oh i still have those in my HD. Even though i lost that Roman scenario files i've managed to save every gfx that the Englishwannabe created for my scen. I even have the reworked versions. Will post them sometime soon as i am currently in Epirus recruiting militiamen.

What happened to your helicopter-borne equine commando antics? Did you get demoted?

Don't post those nasty old graphics when you ge back home Pericles - I'm ashamed of them now

[Varwnos]

hm, where would be a good place to look for a huge collection of civ2 units?
unfortunately there are too few here

edit: nevermind, i noticed your sig
