:beer: YES! Though I wish you had done the Gaucho first. Brazil is too often ignored, especially here in the middle of nowhere. Remember, Brazil had a better navy and was considered able to conquer the eastern coast of the U.S. at the turn of the 20th century. My question would be: how inaccurate would it be to use some of these units for other SA civs? They, too, are underepresented.

Daniel: Here's a better Pedia entry for the Cascavel... Yours has some errors...
The EE-9 Cascavel Armored Vehicle was developed by the Brazilian company Engesa in the 1960ies to replace the similar US-made M-8, in use since WWII. It is a light, small, low-cost, easy-maintenance and all-terrain fighting vehicle. Some countries, like Iraq, produced the Cascavel under license in the 198ies. In the First Gulf War, it was one of the main concerns of the American forces. Nowadays, these vehicles have been replaced for more modern ones.

Manny: How innacurate would that be? Some of the units aren't generic enough to be used as anything else, such as the Cangaceiro or the Capoeirista. Others, however, can be used by other South American civs, like Gaucho for Argentina or the Seringueiro for Uruguay... Also, the Pracinha, the Canhoneira or the Dragões look European enough to be used by European civs, too! :)

@Carlos, thanks for the new civilopedia entry, it was upgrated in the topic. :)
@Manny: thanks for enjoying! If u have requests, post.

@Fellows: do not forget to check the new Tucano's model, in the post number 02.

No no no! You still have jet exhaust coming from the black of the plane where there is none! And you need to ask someone for help with your explosions. Also, the current model looks like a step backwards.

I posted Canhoneira and Tucano, enjoy :)

I like the Canhoneira, it looks quite okay at Civ scale. Keep on working and improving on your skills, you're on the right track. :-)

One last question: Were these ships used by other american nations as well?

Daniel: Here's a better pedia entry for the Canhoneira and the Tucano... Nice units, as always! :D
The Canhoneiras (literally, "Cannoneers") were sailing warships used by the Brazilian forces in their Independence War against Portugal (1822-1825). The first ones were built in English shipyards and dispatched to Brazil on the final years of Colonial rule. Some weeks and months after Pedro II proclaimed the independence of Brazil, a number of regions rise up against the new government and, supported by Portugal, attacked the independentist forces, mainly in the North and Northeastern provinces and in the southern region of Cisplatina (nowadays Uruguay). The Canhoneiras were used against these Pro-Portugal forces, bombarding the shorelines and quickly transporting troops, having a essential role in the conflict. The Embraer Tucano is the result of a Brazilian project initiated in 1978 to replace the older aircrafts of the Brazilian Air Force on recon, training and light air-to-ground support. The Tucanos are built by Emraer, one of the largest aeronautics company worldwide. The Tucano's most recent versions are considered the best turboprop-driven airplanes ever build, being low-cost and having a bigger operational radius than standard prop planes. Some countries operate the Brazilian Tucanos, like Argentina, Egypt, France, Iraq, Paraguay, Peru and Venezuela, while others build the Tucanos under license, such as Britain, Kuwait and Kenya.

Ares: The Canhoneiras were used mainly by Brazil and Portugal, but, since it has quite a generic paint scheme, I don't see why it shouldn't be used by other civs.

Congrates on making the first non-Aaglo wooden sailing ship in ALONG time Civarmy my friend! :goodjob:

Yeah, this ship is really cool. Thanks for making a new version. The former Death animation was a bit odd. ;) :goodjob:

All right, that's what I'm talking about, Civ!! The new deaths are awesome! I commend you, :salute:.
edit: I just downloaded them, they look awesome, but they are small like your other units, :( why does this happen?

My mistake, the first version were too big and I do not note that the final version became small then other, but it is not too small, but I have to fix it, don't worry :D


@SoG, @Aluminium, @Ares, thanks for enjoying!!!

@Carlos, thanks for the new civilopedia entries!

Download Dragões da Independência: http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads8/Dragoes.zip . It is my best unit until now :)
BTW, I have searched about them and I discovery they really fought in battles of Independene War and maybe he fought in a little battle against France in Napoleonic Times, invading a French Island near Brazil, when my country was a colony.

As I said on the preview thread... Wonderful job on the Dragões! :D

On the subject of if they fought in any war or not, the Dragões da Independência were probably formed only after the Independence. However, Brazilian cavalry corps on the XIXth century had uniforms very much like the Dragões', so... :)

And the French island they invaded wasn't an island: it was French Guyana. :)

And, as always, here's my version of the Pedia...
Created by Dom João VI of Portugal in 1909 as the 1st Brazilian Army Cavalry Regiment, the Dragões da Independência (literally, "Independence Dragoons") has been acting since then as the Brazilian Head of State's Honor Guard, first of the Emperors Pedro I and Pedro II, and the Presidents' since the proclamation of the Republic, in 1894.

Alright! good unit, right size, this is what your units need to be like, :goodjob:

Carlos, thanks, but check this site out: http://www.presidencia.gov.br/gsi/subchefia/dragoes.htm , they talk about Dragões and it is official page. And the year 1808 make sense, Dom João VI have arrived here this years, have not he?

@Odin: thanks for enjoying again friend!!! :goodjob:

I think the Dragos is a step up in human-unit creation for you Civarmy...he's more Civ-like than your past human units...keep up the good work...

Perhaps he'd be a good Cavalry replacement? Hmmm

Civarmy...my friend, the Dragoes are your best unit yet! I think they are the nicest looking cavalry unit in Civ! (And that's not just because of the beautiful uniform!)

SoG, TopGun, thanks for enjoying!!! :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob:
Dragões won the Canhoneira post of the best unit done by me, I hope my next unit, the Gaúcho a Cavalo, beats Dragões and the next one, beat Gaúcho...

Raising the bar higher and higher are we? :thumbsup:

Gaúcho à Cavalo, unique unit of the south region of Brazil is ready: http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads8/Gaucho.zip

The Gaúcho à Cavalo is...well beautiful sounds awfully feminine :mischief: , but it is great. Keep up the excellent work.

I need finish this unit pack, the unit Mula is available to download in the post number 7, I think. It works like a Brazilian settler :) The other unit is Soldado da Floresta, post number 8.

Thanks, man. These covered up some gaps in my Spanish-esque unit tree in my mod. I'm glad you're finishing these up.

Well, I'm finishing this Unit Pack soon, just 3 untis left to be done. They are all in page 01. :)

:goodjob: :goodjob: finally I finished this pack!!! :goodjob: :goodjob:

I think it is just clothes, not armor, well, this kind of clothes that they uses in day by day to protected the president is just symbolic, the real clothes that they used in the case of a war is different and I think it is very similar of the currently soldier :)

The fortify needs to be improved. But all in all a very good unit :) .

In the old game Street Fighter, the character "Blanka" was from Brazil....

The fortify needs to be improved. But all in all a very good unit :) .

Yes, he 'pops' right to the defense stance. That may just be the preview, but that probably is wrong.

Also, the attack is better than your previous pole armed units, but he seems to move the weapon in a circle after thrusting and before withdrawing. Shouldn't he pull straight back?

We have to remember the fortify is always the first frames of the attack animation ;) Well, he attacks and come back, when he comes back he moves a little the pike to the left, um, I can fix it in a future version ;)

Ooooh... very nice, the Lanceiro!
