This mod unlocks and incorporate a new unit in the classical age, The Throwing Axeman.

A new range-unit type that was introduced in Brave New World but is currently reserved for barbarians.



Features:
  • Adds a new ranged unit: The Throwing Axeman, to the game, which was inspired by the new barbarian-only ranged unit 'Hand-axe' introduced in Brave New World Expansion.
  • This ranged unit is comparable to other unit of this era in term of strength but has its own speciality. It has a little more combat strength and defense than Composite Bowman and is 33% more resistant to ranged attack, but has only 1 range.
  • This unit choose his promotions from the ranged unit promotion list when he level up, enabling him at high level to gain +1 range.
  • The Throwing Axeman can be built when Construction is discovered and can be upgraded to crossbowman, just like Composite Bowman.
  • The barbarian 'Hand-axe' unit have been replaced by the throwing axeman.
  • This unit was made from Scratch and was balanced and then the 3d model and icons of the 'Hand-axe' unit was applied to it.
  • This unit is properly flavored and the correct AI script have been attached to It, so the Ai will use it if it fits their flavor profile.
  • The 3d model is perfectly integrated since it comes from fireaxis, you can actually see the Axemans throwing their axes.
  • All these changes are reflected in Civilopedia (see screenshot)

Notes:
    This mod is fully compatible with the 'Promotion Expansion pack', meaning the new units will uses the promotions from the pack if the 2 mods are enabled. If you are interested: Promotion Expansion pack Mod

Unit Details:
    Throwing Axeman
  • New ranged unit available in classical era wich specialises in taking out enemy archers.

  • Can be later upgraded to Crossbowmans.
  • Unlocked with the technology 'Construction' at the same time as Composite Bowman.

I think it'd make more sense to start out with access to this unit, as the barbarians have access to no technology, let alone construction. Still, it is a welcome addition, and I love your work.

Huh. I've used these before (playing as Germany) but never thought someone would create a mod to add the ability to produce them. Thanks!

UPDATE V.4

- Adjusted the Axeman "Flavor", So the AI would produced a better balanced mix beetween Axeman and Composite bowman depending on the situation.

@Yush

Hi Yushatak, As said in the description, all the unit mechanic have been taken from a barbarian unique unit, the hand axe, and have been extended to everyone.

So all the models and animation comes from Fireaxis, this weird city attack animation composed of multiple quick axe attack and some barbarian yelling is their doing.

I played an unmodded game where the barbarian hand axe did this while attacking jerusalem, at first i though this was some kind of wardance =)

Anyway Fireaxis will proly adjust this animation file in a near update, this lil anim bug is something they introduced with BNW.

Good day!

When you attack a city with one of these, the animation plays 9 times before finishing - could you fix that? xD
