Not sure if this forum will also be for requests - I am not a modder, in fact I have trouble drawing stick figures! :lol:

I know the game is not even out yet - but one unit I know for sure I would like to see that is currently missing is the Roman Legion.

TIA! :)

I suspect this would be the place for requests - in parallel to the corresponding Civ3 forum - but it might be a good idea to start a stickied thread ASAP where requests could be posted without to much clutter, and where the requests could be summed up/listed in the first message.

To graphics-adepts: Also, about units, I was wondering how easy/hard it would be to convert Civ3 units to Civ4? Does anyone know the format yet?

I'm hardly a graphics adept but I can tell you theres no quality way to directly convert Civ3 Flcs to the 3d format required in Civ4.

However those who made new Civ3 units from a 3d model may be able to use those models to create Civ4 units; its likely a file-formatter will have to be devised first, unless Civ4 engine uses a common format for units (unlikely imo).

I'm sure it will be, same as before. I wonder why TF didn't go ahead and add the subfoums :hmm:

Well, if the subforums are still for completed works, I suppose TF has the time to create them ;)

I just thought he would have done everything at once while he was getting the forums ready.
