Unit SLP graphics for a queen or princess look. Has four unit portraits and animations for attacking (a melee dagger stab), standing, walking, dying, and rotting.
This is the first unit I've ever made, so a lot of time was spent with software trial and error. These graphics are probably rather rough around the edges too, so I'm looking to clean them up where needed.
Please offer it to AOFE... it would be great to have this in a general scenario (I've tried to put Elizabeth I in a game, and been forced to use Joan of Arc to do so).

Great work R-90!!
So this queen unit can attack?
Is it possible to re-skin it with the default king to have a king who can fight back in regicide games?

@ Felipe and Ilya:
I will consider doing this in the very near future, but I still want to make some updates before I ask for anything to be included in AOFE (Age of Forgotten Empires mod, right?)
@ chiruscan:
Yes, this unit has graphics support for melee attacks (it's a dagger stab). I currently have no plans to offer other attack animations.
I currently have no plans on merging these graphics with the default AOK/TC King unit. For me, it looks a little silly for a king to have his lady do all the fighting.
@ all:
Thank you all for the feedback. I'm surprised to have received reception this positive. Look forward to updates for this unit in the future.

'Twould be funny if she took off her glove and slapped the enemy's face with it, as an attack animation. X-)

This is an excellent unit. May I use it in my mod Wheel of Time: The End of the Third Age?

As long as I'm credited, go ahead and use it.

This Queen/Princess unit by RNineZero is the perfect addition to any mod pack or scenario that needs a royal female lead character.
Usefulness/Novelty: 5
The usefulness of this mod pack is without a doubt one of the best things about it. For people who still use the The Conquerors vanilla editor the only female characters you can use are either the Joan units or the female villager. Those using The Forgotten get an additional queen unit now but it has the same characteristics as the king unit with no ability to attack. There have been other attempts to create female characters such as Agamemmnon's Warrior princess and Achesun's Noblewoman, but none of these other attempts have been royal Queens or Princesses. This unit can be clearly identified as a royal queen due to the crown on her head and elegant dress. Unlike the Queen in The Forgotten this unit also has graphics for attacking, to allow it to be used as a main character in your scenarios.
Quality/Instructions: 4.5
The blurry screenshot image that comes at the top of this page does certainly not do this unit justice. The unit is of top quality and certainly blends in well with the other units in game. The unit comes with all the necessary graphics; Attacking, Standing, Walking, Dying and Decaying, as well as a choice of different custom icons. The units moves smoothly and swiftly, and there is rarely any error to be found. The only flaw I can find is that, as the designer said, it is a little rough around the edges and could be smoothed up a bit more. Overall this is a fantastic unit, especially for a first try.
