I would like to make a new unit. asabara were the former Persian horsemen, along with sparabara and archers (I do not remember their old Persian name) formed the basis of the army of the Achaemenid Empire. they fought mainly with axes, spears and swords.
here I will put their photo:



Unit description:
Asabara are persian light cavalry. Very fast, perfect for fighting infantry and archers, but they will quickly die in the fight against pikemen, so it is worth supporting them with infantry. The ideal unit is scouting and capturing cities.

Stats:
Cost: 5
HP: 23
Attack power: 6
Range: 1
Armor: 0
Pierce armor: 1
Speed: 9
Sight: 12
Action/turn: 2
Heal bonus: 1.0
Size: 1x1

Builders: Stable (and upgrades)
Requires: Persans


Bonus against:
Archers 50%
Infantry 50%

Reduce speed to 6 and reduce sight to 7.. 9 speed and 12 sight Is too op. No land unit should have that amount of numbers.

With speed & sight aside, the stats are well balanced.
I would change the damage to 5 so it doesn't go annihilating every infantry and archer unit in sight. It can always be buffed by blacksmith upgrades.

Bonuses should be:
50% Archers
50% Siege machine
50% Foot
100% Siege machine armoured

New Stats:
Cost: 5
HP: 23
Attack power: 6
Range: 1
Armor: 0
Pierce armor: 1
Speed: 6
Sight: 8
Action/turn: 2
Heal bonus: 1.0
Size: 1x1

Hello. Who could teach me to make pixel art to create units?

The first step usually is to find a good app. For computers, I think Gimp 2 is the best, and for mobile, use Pixly or Pocket paint. If you are new to drawing images, it's usually best to edit an existing unit until you get better at drawing images from scratch. In the "Talent" section of the forum, there is more info if you need it.

Regarding the unit, if they fought with multiple weapons, could there be multiple versions? For example, axe for anti infantry, sword for balance and lance for anti cavalry.

Ok. Thanks. The stats for axe and spear are not ready yet, but I will publish here.

Hi. Here is my prototype image of asabara with axe.



i know it isn't good, but i am still learning.

I can't seem to find the axe. Use light gray for the axe, not black. It isn't visible. Plus the golden hair needs a black outline in order to differentiate terrain from unit.

It isn't hair, it is Phrygian Cap

Well i try to modify it without much change

Looks better but still looks like light cav.
Change - Face, battle stance and horse color to make it unique.

Change in horse color
Better face for rider
Axe design to make it visible

It is a light cav

You don't seem to get the point. The image doesn't have a uniqueness, it looks like light cav it only has a hat and axe added.

edit- Nvm, you changed it already.

Yes, I just pressed on the notification and it led me to your reply before the posted image. So it was my fault.

Quick gradient mixing

I suggest to use the template I sent
if so, cut your rider and paste it on the horse tmp.

Better lighting

That is ridiculous. The neutral horse is slightly smaller than the horse rided by warrior. So if i replace it exactly the same, it looks like riding over a mule or a large dog. I tried it and compared.

Good work guys.

Oh wait, your right. I sent the wrong horse.
That horse is a prototype of a hobelar mount (a pony).

therefore we must find a bigger horse. possibly, I can make it a bit bigger.
