This is a good pose for Gaul portraits since this is very used in artistic references:

For the "barbarians", provocative poses could be interesting. Hitting the weapon against the shield for example.

Yep, indeed split variants per etnic as well as shield could be usefull, more specific and less generic.

@Stan` you know what i forgot to add and was very important for future mods? Separate a single finger of the hand for triggers and other actions. Before re-exporting all animations.

Build tweaked starting frames of hand:

Keep in mind that there is a bone number limit and that generally hand should be enough

better

Probably with spears if they are in formation, but we can ensure that formations will have a different "variant" for avoid this. Making formations use only "specific" idle variants. such as this:

Honestly, that's supercool. All these animations really add a lot of personality... The "units" are slowly becoming characters...

Thats the idea, i had first the thought of splitting by etnic because of vikings, you know, a vikings is more know of savage, ruthless, and fearless. Having them walking, idle with the same education of a roman legionary doesn't make it feel like viking.

One game that catch pretty well the animations is this one:

Note: Clipping with shield can't be fixed as it suppose to have a belt holding the shield with infantry.

[Alexandermb]

@Stan` can we make builders select 1 Single building variant animation per variant file while building? That could be awesome to have if i make some saw animations and even plowing.

[Alexandermb]

The attacking repeat time of pikeman is way too slow, the animation even play's slower than blender. What is this? Ultra Nerfed attacking speed.
