Hello, I am looking for a human crossbow unit. I recall seeing one on a map, but I can't remember which map it is. Some help would be appreciated, thx 
Also, if you know some interesting units(humans or the likes) that would fit in well inside a post-medieval-renaissance era it would really be helpful
Making some kind of warhammerish map

You need to try and find the Hexographia tagset, it had spearmen, crossbowmen (iirc), catapults and balistas.

I don't think there are crossbows in hexographica, although you can get plenty of other nifty medieval units from that tagset (pikes, cavalry, ballistas, catapults). There was a crossbow unit in an old map called (I think) Deathtrap, but it looked pretty terrible. The only other crossbowman I've ever seen is the one in TFV (since you're a beta tester, Zeph, that might be what you're remembering), but it isn't available for public use yet.

Are you saying Myth 2's bowmen are not human? :O :;):
Is there a reason you need a crossbow type instead of the old bow and arrow type? Or its just for a variety?

Matthew J Redding's "Megalithic" was the source for that crossbowman. Speaking of units, I'm going to post my list of units in the General Forum in a few minutes.

Dreamseedz had crossbowmen, though their artistic style may make it difficult to use them alongside other myth-ish units.
