Predator, Bishop (cyborg) and a male soldier (who huntes predator) would be good units to the future :)

Probably. It was just called 'Alien' here

They should have called it 'Alien Plus 7 Snacks' :D

Yeah that. :lol:
Anyway, nice job again Civarmy!
I am now getting a strange hunger for human flesh... :scan:

I think I remember hearing the 8th passenger thingy in Finland as well when the movie came out. It's been Alien ever since, though...

I always thought of it as a tagline, like "in space no one can hear you scream".

I had watched all the Alien movies and Alien VS Predator last night. I can make this unit come out of some aztec wonder or something hehe :)

Excellent work. It looks much cleaner. I think I'll use this as a postapocalyptic mutant unit.

Looks good. Nice "monster" unit.
I would suggest that "If" you feel like changing anything it be its attack.
Right now it sort of looks like it is spanking a naughty child... Perhaps have the arm swing further so it looks more agressive in the swipe.
Another option would be to have it swing 1 arm then the other so it looks more balanced. This is obviously harder then just getting the arm to go further.

What a great idea. All we need now are Predators, for a Alien vs Predator mod. Some marines would be nice to.
good work.

thanks for the comments!!! And I agree, we need a Predator unit :) The character Ripley (female marine) I did months ago and I need re-do this unit.

Hm, will you do it, perhaps? :p
Just kidding, don't want to force you to it, but I'd like to see it, too...

I love this unit. :)

Are there any scenarios with it yet?

I'm thinking of adding it to my personal preferences mod. Spaceflight I guess, hidden nationality, enslave, all terrain as roads, costs plenty (+pop) to build. I don't think there's anyway it can be given a % chance to defect to barbarians every turn? :D Anyway, should be lots of fun, except for the poor astronauts who first discover these things.

I think there is not scenario with this unit, BTW, there is a LH that could be useful for some sci-fi scenarios such as here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=92236 (3d Alien LH animated)

I can't understand why I didn't post here before, seeing that the first 3 alien movies were my favorites when I was a kid :)

Beautiful unit, CivArmy.

bkwrm79 > Nope, a Alien scenario would need some others alien units. But I'd like to play one.. Perhaps even make one :D

We probably need a Predator :scan: unit to create a good alien scenario... humans, space ships and cyborgs could be useful in this kind of scenario too.

I could even see an extension to a such mod : Aliens vs Predator vs Terminator ;)

More seriously, I'd like too see an Alien or an AvP mod.

The "Terminator" is busy with another another kind of "aliens" and can't join this mod :lol: :lol: :mischief:

An 'Aliens' scenario would be fantastic. :)

I added aliens to my game (modern start, accel production, so I'd get to them fast). They're a lot of fun now that I've got some. But I think making them the advanced barbarian unit was a mistake. :eek:
