Looks nice, but I think it would look a bit better if he holds up the sarissa a little higher so that it doesn't look like he'll bump the butt into every low obstacle on the way.

Moved upward the sarissa a lil bit:

the pikes are complicate to use with single hand. only if are fixed i the ground.

marching with a long sarissa will be difficult. the pike is kind flexible.

se tenderia a mover como un vara pesada y larga , no es rigida.

Yes, they longitude makes them complicated to use with a single hand or the tip will be dancing instead of hitting a target. Same while moving, controlling with a single hand such spear would be difficult so i placed the sarissa resting on shoulder.

Gonna proceed to commit the latest changes of animations on the pikeman.

Stay aware that pikeman variant is now renamed from pikeman_base to base_pikeman_relaxed for follow the rest of the variants and also added the ready variant.

Animations renamed from idle_relax to idle_relax_0#. attacking_melee_a to attacking_melee_01

@Stan` fixed the 3 hoplite, but for fanatic:

The new idle i've done for the gaul/brit spearman is relatively similar to hoplite idle but less "straight" similar to reference posted before so it works for how the fanatic is already:

Spoiler

Should i use it for the celtic spearman and leave it as base for the fanatic?

Just now, Alexandermb said:

@Sundiata you can share some opinions and references if kushites may have another "idle" like gauls, you are the most appropiated for reference them visually in their life time.

I think they can have similar/the same animations as the other factions. But for something more specific, here are a bunch of ideas from mostly Sudan, idle and ready mixed. Some of the melee ones would require the units to put down their shield, and let the shield lean against their body, freeing up their hands. 

Spoiler

For archers, resting the bow on the ground would be good for all civs:

Excellent reference, this one :P

If you want to get really fancy, the archers could even do a small simple dance, lol... There's actually reliefs of Nubian archers doing some kind of war dance. Don't know if it's possible to synchronize across a group of archers in close proximity to each other. Probably way to complicated huh... Anyway...

For something typically East African pastoralist style, this pose is quite popular, good for spearmen.

Another typically African pose is that African squat. I believe ancient writers even commented on this position being a natural resting position for Aethiops, (lol, I squat like this a lot). Basically like those squatting Slavs, you know, the ones with the adidas attire.

For swordsmen, shield hanging down, leaning forward:

Check out how the old man is using both hands to lean against his spear with his full weight, almost as if he's hanging from the spear

I liked this one a lot of a Beja horsemen standing upright in his stirrups to get a better view, but then I remembered that they didn't have stirrups back then... Would still be cool for a cavalry man to sort of extend his body like this, face up a little, trying to get a better view. I dunno...

For cavalry:

Check out how African cavalry rest the butt of their lances on the ground:

Horses, especially stallions can be rather boisterous, making them a little difficult to control sometimes. Horses jumping up, trampling it's feet on the spot and making short, 360° turns are all common. Sometimes the does some show jumps on the spot just for fun.

Rider looking back would be a nice animation as well:

Sure you don't want to use that animation mojo to rig and animate Mickets models and let me do the texturing ?

@Sundiata sadly for cavalry i can't use longer idles than 60 frames, since this would end in broken animations switching inmediatly one for another breaking visual. Maybe this would be possible after implement turret.

@Stan` if turrets are implemented, also may be good to consider each horse in chariots and trader carts as another entity. Only as entity i don't mind if they still have the same chariot HP as a single entity but it could fix the sync bug of each horse playing the same idle, the same walking animation and the same death animation at the same time.

Same could be applied to riders, if each one is considered an entity maybe this could give us the chance to have longer idles for riders and horses since they will be another entity.

The problem is mainly turret restoration, currently there is no such thing as common health. Could be an idea for @Freagarach It guess that would be in V3
