A selection of worker units to add a bit of variety to the game. Thanks go to all the usual people for making the programs, figures, and props...

These units all use more or less identical animations. The ones labelled Worker/Warrior have attack animations as well, so they can be used as workers, military units, or combinations of the two.

There are some settlers (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=237897) to match some of these too.

Great set !

:lol: Satyr Worker.

Oh my.... Plontius. You are incredible!

Wow, i had no idea there were gonna be so many! :wow:

Incredible work Plot :thumbsup:

You forgot one worker :hammer:

I have to download it and expend my mod again !!!
Cool!

Can't wait to get more, you're the man, man!

Incredible Plotinus! :thumbsup:
This is the pack-of-all-packs. You've been busy.
All of the animations run smooth, they're convincing, and I like the diversity of the models. Great contributions. I'm sure you'll be included in the credits from every mod and scenario from here on out. ;)

Beautiful work. I like the Satyr and Amazon worker best(but all are great) cause they can go straight to the Noburkor Mod. I think all of those were needed.

These are all fab and the relevant ones are straight into the mod ;) .

You are insane. I love you! :D Thanks man, these units are awesome! Its unusual for me, and I have absolutely no use for it, but I like the Prospector unit the best :)

:thanx:

I can use 5 of these!

Huzzah!!!

6 units straight into my mod...the community owes you a great thanks!!

For my part, let me say THANKS!!

You can't believe how awesome it was to realize there were even more workers in post 2. You rock, man.

Huzzah!!!

6 units straight into my mod...the community owes you a great thanks!!

For my part, let me say THANKS!!

All but 1 (Satyr) got their places in my epic mod. :goodjob:

Where did ya use the amazon, Supa?

In my Amazon Civ. They're in my Civ-3 epic mod since.. pfu.. forever. :D

From what I can tell via the preview, you got the dhoti on the Indian worker to work well. Certainly it looks good in the 'pedia image. Its unusual for me, and I have absolutely no use for it...Doesn't he use an axe in one of the animations?

:lol: He`s a bit modern for my type of games ;)

Wow.....wow.....
This is amazing. I really like the Amerindian units, very original. I have use for almost all these units.

A suggestion could it be possible to add an attack animation, where they would use their tool to fight?
It can be interesting for some scenario, like peasant revolts

An optional animation that we could set manually in the ini

Wow! :wow:
These are awesome... every one of them! ...and you even made a prospector, too! :D
Thank you, sir!

Wow, you've made a bunch of them. They're all great too! :thumbsup:

Holy Frick-Knocker, this is crazy! I'm bowled right over. Astounding...

I have a massive update to do for my mod geez thankyou Plotinus....your the man!

:wow: AWESOME...just AWESOME :faint:

Great, but does a Satyr actually ever work at all? :mischief:

You are amazing Plotinus :goodjob:

Have you considered an elf worker? The current one isn't very good.

BTW the Indian one could be used for the Middle East too, couldn't it?

YOU DID THE SATYR WORKER!!!!!11oneone :worship:
Now, to figure how I'm going to add them all (or, as many as possible) to my Greek scenario and then download away!

Thanks Plotinus!

Plotinus... What an astounding level of work! All are Excellent and The Prospector worker is a neat character worker indeed.
Marvelous Game additions that I am sure will be used by most players. :clap: :band:

You are amazing Plotinus :goodjob:

Workers of the World! Unite!

Wonderful. :) These will quickly become some of the most used units in the database. Except the Satyr. :mischief: But that ones cool anyway.

Oh, and thankyou. :)

All you crazy people who can't use the Satyr worker...

Holy... holy... holy cheese-stick man. @_@

I second Yoda`s Elf worker request :)

Wow, looks like people like them. Thank you for the comments. I'm glad that even the Satyr Worker is usable by more than one person!

There will be more on their way, including an Arabian Worker (he would have been included with these, but I've run into problems with him). I might be able to sort out an Elf Worker, who knows?

There are already twelve animations per unit, which is quite a lot, so I haven't done attack animations. But I will make a Nubian Worker with attack animations, because I need one.

All I can say is WOW I am overwhelmed thank you for making these wonderfull additions to the growing number of available units.

O M G !!!!!

A fitting hymn for all these workers:

"Vstavaj, proklyat'yem zakleymyennjy
Vyes' mir golodnykh i rabov
Kipit naš razum vozmuščyennjy
I v smyertnjy boj vyesti gotov.
Ves' mir nasil'ya my razrušim
Do osnovan'ya, a zatyem
My naš my novjy mir postroim,
Kto byl ničyem, tot stanet vsyem!"

...for those who have no idea what this is, this is the "International", the original hymn of the Soviet Union. ;)

Great workers. :D

I expected you'd post like 5 of them... which would be a lot already. Needless to say I was quite shocked. The animations are most impressive, of course, especially since it's so much more than the usual fortify-attack-death combo. Thanks!

Workers of the world, Unite!

Amazing pack, Plotinus. I love 'em all.

By god, though I can only reitterate what everyone has already said, I want to thank you for making some of the greatest units I've seen in a while (or ever, for that matter). Almost all of these will be getting a place reserved for them in my epic game!

The prospecter looks awesome, one of my favorites of the pack...I'm tempted to take the San Francisco map, add him as '49er unit, place a sh**load of gold in the hills surrounding San Fran, and make a cultural victory mod out of it...but then again, it may lack any substance at all and be one of the lamest scenarios ever created. But damn it, I shall try!!! :D

I also have to comment on the greatness of the Meso-American, Egyptian, Native American, and Indian worker. They're all extremely good looking!!! The Roman, African, Satyr also look gre....you know what, they all kick major arse! ;)

Now, if only we had that Southeast Asian worker... :hmm: ;)

...for those who have no idea what this is, this is the "International", the original hymn of the Soviet Union.

As well as the hymn of Communist China, Vietnam, Korea, Germany, and any other nation that was engulfed in the commy movement during the Second World War/Cold War. But I guess the name of the song already implies that...I have a German version of this song on my computer.

Those are great! Only thing to make them better would be for the prospector to have an attack animation, that way hes also a industrial era scout

thats actually not a terrible idea...an attack with an old Winchester rifle would suit that guy just nicely...shoot them looters who been pannin on his claim

As we all know, workers make or break (in lack there of) a Civ, even more so than Nukes (for deliverer or recipient!). More than most revolutions have been about workers, so it is natural that each culture (perhaps even civ) should have their own unique worker to really express this difference.

Thank you Plotinus for giving us this needed variety. I've always played with different kinds of workers, now I can really make them unique from eachother. Bravo on another impressive unit set! See you in Unit of the Month!

:thumbsup:

I third that one! If the Prospector was given a winchester or somesuch rifle, he's going into the FF mod as the "Citizen Militia". Even as is, he may be going in as the new European type human worker (for civs that have a european flavor and aren't dwarves, elvaan, etc).

Excellent work, BTW ;):goodjob:

I have to admit that the Prospector is my favourite so far too, which is why I've entered him into the Unit of the Month competition. I think a Californian Gold Rush scenario would be great fun, and I'm tempted to make a shotgun attack for him ("Get off my land!" etc). Maybe it'll happen.

Prospector is my fave too. He'd be perfect for the Farmers in EFZI2 if he had a shotgun. Excellent work on all the others.

These are amazing - can someone tell me, or link to the suitable thread, that tells me how to modify the main in game graphics, to these guys?

They're brilliant. Thank you!

Abbadon, look at a thread at the top of the units sub-forum, its stickied :)

Grat work... but as the settler unit i've found here for the amazons, i think that the worker should has been a male slave :mad: (in this case i hate the amazons) :mad:

These are really nice. I love seeing a bunch of nice units with a few reserved posts beneath them.

But I do hope that the workers of the world don't unite; that would make for one boring Civ game.

Wow Plotinus! This is unbelievably great stuff! I hope you do modern/industrial age versions as well!

This... is... just.. great!! :eek: Thanks a lot!

These are terrific Plotinus. :goodjob:

Darn! :wow:

You ROCK Plotinus. Rock. Thank you!

ШФЯКЗЯS ФF THЗ ШФЯLD UNITЗ!

Good Job.

Great job Plotinus !!! :goodjob: These were most needed and and I can see a lot of uses for them!! Thanks!

Plotinus, thank you very much for your phantastic work :goodjob:

Brilliant work, Magnus. Wonderful rendering and animation!! Will you be updating Rood and Desert to make use of these new workers? And may we dare ask for Chinese and Japanese workers someday in the future?

What are the chances that a defend animation could be made for the prospector. I like to add defense to my workers, sure I'm not the only one.

Swinging across with the pick axe would be excellent.

If you really need to, you can always use the Jungle animation as an attack (this is what I've done with worker units in the past). I shall probably try to do a shotgun attack for the Prospector at some point as well, and maybe one or two others will get attacks too. But it does mean a fair bit of extra work!

I will use the jungle and the Prospector is great BTW, looking forward to the shotgun attack if you decide to do it. I know that it would be a lot of extra work, just thought I would ask.

Could you make a Elvish worker? Kause your workers are really kick butt.

I'm simply impressed... I guess the requests out there are for a southeast Asian and a communist-era worker? can we throw in a polynesian one as well?

I would ask for a middle eastern one but the generic civ3 one works, as well as the Indian one, i guess

Could you also make a Child/Student worker and a Teacher worker... (for a scenario)

innuit worker...?? Slavic worker of any kind...? Modern Mexican worker...? "Construction worker"...

something else that might be neat, is a Haz-mat worker...just trying to think out of the box :)

also, note: these are not requests at all, just ideas that pop in my mind...

Some of these are possibilities.

After I post the next batch of workers, I'll make the animations available, so anyone with Poser will be able to churn out their own with minimal effort.

Oh good, that saves me from typing one long PM :mischief:

Thanks Plotinus!

maybe Hazmat worker could just be for clean up pollution animation. So it would only be one animation for all workers.

hazmat worker would be cool but I think the comp uses the same anim for clean pollution & irrigation

no, clean pollution is a seperate animation (as shown by Wyrm in the Modern Worker)

Is there a way we can get poser for free?

no, clean pollution is a seperate animation (as shown by Wyrm in the Modern Worker)

I'm pretty sure the line in the ini for irrigation is also the animation played for clear pollution. Wyrm did make a separate animation, but I don't think it can be used (unless you want it as your irrigation as well).

Yeah, there is only irrigate in the ini files...

Yeah, there is only irrigate in the ini files...
Ah, irritating irrigating....

Hmmm...that is strange...perhaps "Clean Pollution" is another command in the INI...

but what is more likely, is that I am mistaken...I'll look into it...

does Wyrms Engineer have an irrigate animation?...

I don't know about Wyrmshadow's unit, but there is definitely no Clean Pollution animation - they use the Irrigate animation.

Wow, how did I not look at this thread until now? These are all excellent and much-needed units. Thank you Plotinus! :thumbsup:

wow.. just wow, its all so amazing... I definitely plan to use a lot of these hot babies in my mod.

Workers of the world, Unite!

Hey, thats not a bad idea. How hard would it be to make some socialist/soviet workers?

I'm actually trying to make one, but I can't find a sickle prop anywhere!

Do like you done with the katana and the Ethiopians- get a dagger/sword, break it up, and reposition it into a sickly shape?

What do you intend to use a sickle for? The workers don't reap crops of course. I assume it is for clearing jungle? That seems to be the most similar action.

Incidentally the Angolan socialists put a machete on their flag a replacement for the sickle as an agrarian symbol.

I saw a commerical where they had the florida communist party and their symbol was a sickle and a palm tree. It was for fun of coarse, not a real communist party symbol or group, just a stupid commericial. But it was funny.

Does anyone know if you can make the animation and icons change for units based upon culture, the same way you can do for buildings?

We all know that you can for units by era, just by looking at settlers, workers, leaders and armies in the vanilla game and by this tutorial (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=47486).

But is it possible to change this type of thing by culture? So that the "Aztec Worker" would be used by the American cultural group, the "Celtic Worker" would be used the European cultural group, and the "Indian Worker" would be used by the Middle Eastern cultural group?

That would make these units a lot easier and better to use in game, imho.

Irrigate animation?

I'm going to use a sickle for the Jungle, and also as part of his costume.

[wolf brother] You can do better than that - you can have a different worker for every civ if you want. In the Units page of the Rules editor you can specify which civs are able to build a unit. So you could, for example, add in the Aztec Worker and make it available only to the Mesoamerican civs. Then you could add in the Roman Worker and make that available only to the Mediterranean civs. And so on. If you want all the various workers to be called simply "worker", so they really differ only in their graphics, you will have to add spaces to the names to differentiate them - "worker", "worker ", "worker ", and so on.

If you do that then you end up with gaps in between the name of your unit and the next word. So you could follow this (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=203187) tutorial if that started to bother you

I just saw the title of that thread and never read it, I assumed it was about the spaces. Cool, thanks kai! :cool:

You can also use Gramphos copy tool to just makes as many copies of the workers as you have same, and keep the same name

IT may be confusing, but it works.

In my mod, I'm adding a "code" in the name

so US_01S # Worker

Is the worker for the American save, first era.

Does the "US_01S #" show up as part of the name?

Does the "US_01S #" show up as part of the name?
Yes. With more than 3000 units, I decided it was the best way to keep it managable

3000 units? Your insane, do you like eat, or sleap?

I do.

But I also take years to make my mods

Eat? Sleep? Kai, you have your basic Living Dead. And then you have the Civing Dead ;)

Oh, ok then, anyways I think I am going to try and use every single one of these units!

You forget that Steph is French, and therefore capable of doing pretty much anything whilst at the same time enjoying a five-course meal.

I make my 3,000 + units mod, work on SSS, paint my figurines, work on my software at the office, suf internet, take care of my familly..

Why do you think it says "multi many tasks man" under my name?

and at what point during this are you eating a 5 course meal?

Every ;)

I cannot "overwrite" the starting Firaxis worker.
When I start a new game I always have the standard worker, even if I set another worker for that civilization.
Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

I cannot "overwrite" the starting Firaxis worker.
When I start a new game I always have the standard worker, even if I set another worker for that civilization.
Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.Not really. What you can do is to change which units you start with, but that change will be for all civilizations. You change the starting units in the C3C editor:
Edit General Settings, then you have Default Units to the right.

Epic C3C has Settler as Start Unit 1 (this should be a Settler type, for obvious reasons :)) and Worker as Start Unit 2, and you can change the latter to whichever unit you want even though you can't give each civ their own (but you can make the Default worker upgradeable to them!).

Also observe that you can change the unit any Expansionist civ gets, under the heading Scout, and the unit you get when you capture units like settlers and workers, and more.

So basicly, your first settler and worker will always be the default Firaxis ones, but the ones you build will be the ones you added. Just.. ignore it :mischief:

The WH mod gets you started with just a settler and he is gone in the 1st turn. No worker to avoid the orcs, dwarfs, elves, etc. having a human worker.

I used a "wandering tribe" as first unit to replace the first settler for every civ, and gave them a barbarian first unit to get protected a little.

Then, each civ has its own units

so, even if the initial worker has an upgrade path to a culturally specific worker, it wont upgrade???

It seems to me, that on turn 2, the worker should be able to upgrade...

so, even if the initial worker has an upgrade path to a culturally specific worker, it wont upgrade???
It seems to me, that on turn 2, the worker should be able to upgrade...
Yes, it should be able to.
I suggest you create a generic worker to start with, an expensive one, so it can be upgraded for free to the specific workers.

so, even if the initial worker has an upgrade path to a culturally specific worker, it wont upgrade???

It seems to me, that on turn 2, the worker should be able to upgrade...Well, for that to happen on turn 2 you have to give the Palace the Veteran Ground Units flag, the same flag that gives the Barracks the ability to allow upgrading land units. And I'm not sure that the AI would care to upgrade anyway... :(

Well, for that to happen on turn 2 you have to give the Palace the Veteran Ground Units flag, the same flag that gives the Barracks the ability to allow upgrading land units. And I'm not sure that the AI would care to upgrade anyway... :(
The AI is likely to upgrade if the cost is 0.

Well, for that to happen on turn 2 you have to give the Palace the Veteran Ground Units flag, the same flag that gives the Barracks the ability to allow upgrading land units. And I'm not sure that the AI would care to upgrade anyway... :(

There is my issue...I have always thought that the Palace HAD those flags checked....

No, the Palace doesn't act as a Barracks, at least in standard epic Civ. I think the various methods suggested above are the best ways to get around this problem. Of course, if you are making a scenario or mod with a set map and set starting locations, you can turn off the "start units" altogether and manually pre-place the relevant settlers, workers, and whatever as you like.

Im trying to do this to the Epic game (My MWNN mod)...I think making the Palace a barracks will do the trick :)

You can do better than that - you can have a different worker for every civ if you want. In the Units page of the Rules editor you can specify which civs are able to build a unit. So you could, for example, add in the Aztec Worker and make it available only to the Mesoamerican civs. Then you could add in the Roman Worker and make that available only to the Mediterranean civs. And so on. If you want all the various workers to be called simply "worker", so they really differ only in their graphics, you will have to add spaces to the names to differentiate them - "worker", "worker ", "worker ", and so on.

Well, I don't consider that better. It's very messy, both in the editor and actually in game, and I don't see why I need to have so many different units that are all workers.

So again, does anyone know if you can change unit animations based upon cultural group?

Yes. The very same way as Plot pointed out.

You can for the era, but probably not for cultural group

However, perhaps we could try?

Graphics can be changed for building, perhaps using the same syntax in the pediaicons it could work for units

Did someone ever tried that?

I meant "better" as in "more flexible". You can assign any given unit to as many - or as few - civilisations as you want. So you could apportion out workers precisely along cultural grouping lines if you want, or you could have more diversity, or less, depending on how you like it. You could have one kind of worker for Old World civs and another for New World civs and leave it at that, or you could have a unique one for every civ, or anything in between.

:( Sad... I always had it somewhere in my mind that it could have worked... my dream is broken!
Still the units are beautiful, I had missed the thread and found it long after the first DL, but I'm collecting them all right now! :goodjob:

@themanuneed...I dont understand what you are trying to do, but if I get the idea of your question, you just want to add workers to every "cultural" group...

You have to add each unit seperately, and assign each unit to the civs it would go to...then de-select the Firaxis worker from those civs...Easy peasy

I have it like this in my MOD:

Firaxis Worker -upgrades to-> Asian Worker -upgrades to-> African Worker -upgrades to->Arab Worker -upgrades to->Egypt worker -upgrades to->MesoWorker -upgrades to-> Medi Worker -upgrades to-> Celtic Worker [end upgrade path]

then you just select Asian worker for all the Asian civs (For example) and de-select the Asian civs from the Firaxis worker...repeat for each civ/culture group

@themanuneed...I dont understand what you are trying to do...

What we're talking about is changing this;


#ANIMNAME_PRTO_Worker
Worker
#ANIMNAME_PRTO_Worker_ERAS_Industrial_Age
Worker Modern Times
#ANIMNAME_PRTO_Worker_ERAS_Modern_Era
Worker Modern Times
#ANIMNAME_PRTO_Worker_SLAVE
Enslaved Worker
...
#UNITICON_PRTO_Worker_ERAS_Industrial_Age
73
#UNITICON_PRTO_Worker_ERAS_Modern_Era
73


So that the worker's animation would change based upon cultural group, the same way certain buildings do, like this;


#ICON_BLDG_Temple
CULTURE

Ok, thats what I thought you were doing...and it wont work...but the way I suggested above will...like I said, all the workers in my MOD are culturally specific (except the initial one), and the graphics for each one upgrade through the Eras(where there is a possible upgrade, for example, all Workers become the "Engineer" (done by Wyrm) in the modern Era, but through the game they are culturally/Civ specific

So, how's that Soviet worker coming along? :mischief:

wouldnt it be funny to have workers that unionize and strike for more wages, maybe steph simulation can do that somehow

Meh, I`d just nuke them and make the survivors clean it up :goodjob:

I support your course of action. And yes, Domestic Advisor, I know they're our people. :D

Can you possibly make a worker in like a fancy suit?

Like if you put James Bond to digging roads and building forts? :mischief:

That would be rather odd - what would he be used for?

A butler? Or as Bluemofia said, James Bond :D

That would be rather odd - what would he be used for?

Like putting a politician to manual labor? :mischief:

For if the is a communist revolution!

A fitting hymn for all these workers:

"Vstavaj, proklyat'yem zakleymyennjy
Vyes' mir golodnykh i rabov
Kipit naš razum vozmuščyennjy
I v smyertnjy boj vyesti gotov.
Ves' mir nasil'ya my razrušim
Do osnovan'ya, a zatyem
My naš my novjy mir postroim,
Kto byl ničyem, tot stanet vsyem!"

...for those who have no idea what this is, this is the "International", the original hymn of the Soviet Union. ;)

Tradability issues.

The second unit on the list is the only one that can be traded. You can put any unit in that position and put workers wherever you want, but only the second unit will be tradable. Which means, of course, that if you give different workers to different civs, they won't all be tradable.

If you just have a "slave" unit, then could you sell your sefs of as slaves to other countries?

Can't you make them tradable if they upgrade to each other? (Worker A upgrades to Worker B which upgrades to Worker C and so on)

Nope, they have to be in the 2nd position.

TY :) So a "slave" would indeed have to go into this slot. It reminds me of the original Civ where only one tech tree slot allowed +2 techs. Why the blazes don't these people code more flexibly? (At this point, the question has simply become one of professional astonishment.)

Not even if you do something like this (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=114923) except with workers instead of military units?

EDIT: Oh wait. I read farther down and read that I can't. Oh well.

What I do is make the workers turn into slaves when they are captured, so slaves are the 2nd unit on the list. So civs can trade slaves. It is also more historically accurate I think. The only problem is you can only have one type slave unit(that can be traded)....

I have different workers for several civs, and they are all tradeable...just like BlueMofia suggested...unit A --> Unit B --> Unit C...and they are all tradeable...

I know this because my favorite "glitch" in my current mod, is playing as Tibet, Capturing African Workers, and then upgrading them into "Asian Worker(Maori)"...then trade it back...

(P.S. I dont know why this happens in my Mod...Im trying to find somewhere to host it as we type)

Not really. What you can do is to change which units you start with, but that change will be for all civilizations. You change the starting units in the C3C editor:


But no.. you can have different starting units for every civ.. just in rules/general you take starting units away.. and instead you add starting units in scenario properties/players.. then offcourse players/civs have to be defined

But no.. you can have different starting units for every civ.. just in rules/general you take starting units away.. and instead you add starting units in scenario properties/players.. then offcourse players/civs have to be defined

What's the difference between "Players" and "Civs" (I don't play this game H2H). If the answer is "none", does that mean that pre-assigning techs in the Scenario's properties is the same as assigning starting techs elsewhere in the editor? :confused:

Thanks,

Oz

"Civs" are the actual civilizations that you can choose from. "Players" are the current civs in the game.

And yes, you can. But those civs will be guaranteed to appear in the game.

To put it another way, civs are types and players are tokens, although it's hard to tell the difference because you can't have more than one type of any given token (two players can't each be the Romans, for example). Rather like Thomist angels (every individual is a unique species).

This is what happens when I'm left alone all day, putting together fifteen flics for a single unit (!) gets dull, and my mind wanders.

... fifteen flics for a single unit (!) ...So much to look forward to... :drool:

[insert too much set theory, not enough theology smiley]

I'm finding this discussion of unique/flavored/civ-specific units very instructive. Keep it up, everyone.

I don`t get what are we discussing in the first place? :hmm:

How to best impliment; a) Flavour units in genoral, and b) Flavour Workers in particular. I think...

But.. don`t we know all that? Just open a .biq from any better mod..

This is what happens when I'm left alone all day, putting together fifteen flics for a single unit (!) gets dull, and my mind wanders.

I look forward to seeing the results.

@Bluemofia & Plotinus - So there's a 1:1 correlation between Players and Civs, meaning that the "free starting techs" option is available via two different options, in two very different places, in the editor. Of course. After all, why should any of this make sense? :p

Thanks To All,

Oz

Not necessarily. Players <= Civs. You can have 31 civs, but only 8 players in a standard map in Civ III Conquests for example.

Well, the free starting techs given in the civ section in the rules gives them up to 4 techs that they start with. But the civ doesn't necessarily have to appear in the game.

If the techs are given in the scenario properties, the civ must appear in game, though you can potentially give them all of the techs in game, not just the 4 they start with in the rules. (plus you can further customize it by removing the ones they start with, leaving them with no techs, or some of their starting techs.)

Plotinus:
It seems redundant to add one more piggy back onto all the others, but I'm going to anyway.

This is one of the most fantastic pieces of work that have been released in these forum's. I am incredibly impressed. I think that this group of units is perhaps the most supurlative ever, with perhaps only the knight pack made by BeBro being their equal. I had replied to a different thread a while ago indicating that I believed leaderheads to be the consumate work. I am having to re-evaluate that opinion. Thank you.

Prospector's a lefty!

Wha? :confused:

The mining animation is southpaw.

Are you sure? I just copied the Firaxis worker and I must say that were I to wield a pick-axe I would do it in that way, I think. But I never have, so who knows? My girlfriend holds the knife and fork in the wrong hands for no good reason that I can tell.

Glad you like them, Azmorg. I hope to have some more up within the next few days.

You leave her alone. I hold the knife and fork the "wrong" way round and can't seem to use them the "right" way round. I think it was a form of rebellion in my early days as I was initially left handed, but the pen was forced into my right hand.

The amazon worker has become an Iceni worker in the mod ;) . I'm looking forward to your other additions. What has been great with these different workers, as well as them looking like the region they're intended for, is that I've been able to set different "strength" levels for each civ, depending on their other advantages/disadvantages in the mod.

I use my nife and fork the wrong way round too! and I am completely right handed, its just so much easier with ya fork in ya right hand...

ye I almost forgot....brilliant workers dear "The One" or Plontios

Plontios? *adds one to the list, beneath Plontodendron*

I`m lefthanded, if thats what you people are talking about (never heard the term southpawn). Tons and tons of famous and talented people in history were lefties. I`m proud of it. I taught myself to write (like Tarzan!) before school (I started out drawing the letters), so I told the teacher to bugger off. Of course, my handwritting is horrible, but I`ve seen worse :D

What possible need can there be for a Theologian to use a pick? Unless seeking to dig out the nature of divinity or excavate the archeology of religious history?

I'll look forward to the new workers you mentioned. Are there any settlers or an arabic worker amongst them?

Stormy - I've never noticed your handwriting being horrible on the forum. :mischief:

Kinda late reply, but this issue of second-on-the-list confused me a bit... since none of my mods have workers in second slot, and there are no trading issues that I know of. The tradeable unit is the unit that is set as "captured unit" under general settings. Looking at the tutorial from 2005 it looks like a misunderstanding (because in an otherwise unmodded civ3 game, second unit on the list is also the captured unit, but you can change it).

I love it when you turn up ED, here we are finally agreeing about something and you just have to prove us all wrong don't you? ;)

Anyways what the devil does southpawns mean?

The term is "southpaw" and it is American slang for a left-handed person.

Embryodead, I really think you're wrong, and that the second unit on the list is the tradeable one, not the one tagged as "capturable". At any rate, that's how I've changed the tradeable one in mods, by changing which one is second in the list. But maybe the method you mention is an alternative one?

There aren't any settlers among the new units - I will be posting those in a separate thread at some point - but there is an Arabian Worker among them. And an absolute bugger he has been to make, too.

Well, not so much an alternative - it's just a coincidence that by default, the second unit on the list is also set as Captured Unit, so by changing it, you also change the Captured Unit entry. From other mods, I've just checked EFZI2 - the Supply Parcel is like 20th on the list, but set as Captured Unit - and it's tradeable.

Ahhhh so it isnt actually the position in the cue it is whatever unit is marked as captured unit. That is very interesting news,

One of the first feats that I take when playing as a rogue in Neverwinter Nights. :) Very useful. I tried to train myself to use the left hand once - it was actually easier than I thought.

Experiment - everyone who's right handed - try writing with your left hand for 10 minutes a day for a month and see how well you're doing. I wager that your left handed writing will at least be legible.

What possible need can there be for a Theologian to use a pick?To penetrate the thick skulls of those advocating heterodox cosmogonies of course.

Quite a crude, and probably offensive joke, eh? Even if it was said with a light-hearted intention.

As a left-handed person I'd like to point out that things like "southpaw" or "I use the fork in the wrong hand" are considered by many of us to be as repulsive as racist remarks that I won't repeat. That they are quotidian and ubiquitous is no exoneration. In everyday speech in English we don't usually say "that's correct" or "is that all the ice cream that remains?" And the alternatives hurt, even if we have been struck so often that we no longer notice. Ask any of our French-speakers what "gauche" means, or let those who speak Latin tell us about the real meaning of "dexterous" and "sinister". They are not isolated examples, either.

I once wrote a paper for a graduate course pointing out the difference (several percentage points) between the proportion of the population in the US born left-handed vs. those still left-handed as adults. In the 21st century west any ethnic group that forcibly lost members through the efforts of a whole society would soon revolt. Aside from the experiences of those like my grandfather, who had his left arm tied to his side in school, or those of us who have had our hands repeatedly slapped or beaten, there are many subtler prejudices. I had to teach myself to write, and to tie my shoes, without adult help, because they baldly said "I can't do it the way you do."

In my short paper, for which I did only three days' research, I was able to identify well over 150 common items that are designed for right-handed use. This includes everything from steak knives and spiral-bound notebooks to computer mice and keyboards. If you don't believe me about that last one look where the numeric keypad is located. Image the outrage if ATM touchscreens or commodes were designed to be more awkward for Christians than for Muslims.

I know that there are going to be some left-handed members here who will apologetically describe my position as extreme. Poor unfortunates! As Paolo Frere has pointed out in Pedagogy of the Oppressed (http://www.amazon.com/Pedagogy-Oppressed-Paulo-Freire/dp/0826412769/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-5396061-3296045?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1182559724&sr=1-1), the ultimate oppression is to so inculcate the system of dominance that the oppressed carry the now invisible oppressor within themselves.

^ So, how 'bout them workers, eh? :blush: ;)

@Blue_Monkey - but if everything was made easier for us lefties, I for one wouldn`t feel so special anymore :)

Luv the new avie!

[Blue Monkey] I don't think that knife-and-fork usage has got anything to do with being left-handed - my girlfriend is right-handed, and all the left-handed people I know hold the knife and fork in the normal way. As for the attempts to punish left-handers for doing things the "wrong" way around, surely that doesn't happen today? It's the sort of thing that went on in the nineteenth or early twentieth centuries, akin to anti-onanism devices and suchlike.

This place has a gazillion threads and a trillillillizillion posts, but I`m pretty sure its the first time the term "anti-onanism devices" has been mentioned around here :goodjob: Reminds me of the first episode of Beavis & Butthead that I`ve seen :lol:

Well not acording to this search (http://forums.civfanatics.com/search.php?searchid=309802). But then I wasn't actually able to locate the word anywhere in the threads.

Left-handed workers of the world unite! You must find common cause to join your left hands together and throw off the oppressive yolk of the right-handed elite. Do not allow yourselves to be humiliated any longer by the snobbish superiority of the right ones. Take your left hand from behind your back, do not be left behind, raise your left hand into the air. Raise the left-handed fist of defiance and cry out, "I am not an animal! I.. Am.. A.. Man!"

Unless your a women. In that case, keep your darn hands down and go get us men some food.

Ho boy, I hope Mathilda or Chieftess don`t come along and see this.. you would be missed, Bretwalda :D

[Blue Monkey]As for the attempts to punish left-handers for doing things the "wrong" way around, surely that doesn't happen today? It's the sort of thing that went on in the nineteenth or early twentieth centuries, akin to anti-onanism devices and suchlike.1960s is hardly "early" 20th, which is when I remember being whacked with a ruler on several occasions for not writing like everyone else. If punishment is strictly physical torture then why does everyone have a problem with what went on in Abu Ghraib? Daily pain and early exhaustion from forced use of backwards tools, as well as the mental stress of living in a mirror world, can at some point be considered punishment. Left-handed tools can be had; usually at 50-100% more cost than what is referred to as the "standard" version, not to mention the difficulty in finding them in the first place. I'm not going to recite the whole list of items I'm aware of that are dextrous by design. But do contemplate the use of screws and scissors. Most of those who haven't experienced things like having their cut and paste Mother's Day cards be the butt of ridicule through no fault of their own year after year wouldn't understand the humiliation of having your essential nature repeatedly and ubiquitously attacked by objects as well as persons. At least I "got" Kafka and PKD in middle school.

And we're talking about discrimination against a whole category of persons, not just random individuals. Frere points out that one of the most effective tools of the oppressor is to get the oppressed to see each other as the enemy, or at least focus on each others as competitors. As an educator I'm sure at some point you've been in those lecture halls with the fold-up writing table or in a classroom where you slide in from one side of the desk because it has a similar writing table. I never saw one in the US in which 12% were left-handed, to match the student population. Try doing 11 years of college when the facility itself hampers your ability to succeed. In one of my doctoral seminars at Columbia University I had to compete with three other left handed students for the single left-handed desk. If I wasn't in the room 1/2 hour to 45 minutes before the professor, I'd end up sitting sideways to use a right-handed desk at an angle where I couldn't both see the board notes and write. Furniture doesn't care about your ethnicity or religion. How's that for punishment?

I'm taking a break from the forums until about the 28th due to RL demands. I look forward to more enjoyable postings both on and off topic by all my never-met friends, and the chance for continued pleasurable collaboration, on my return.

I sure you do realize that this is just humor. And yes, our humor is offensive to a certain group of people, but then again... isn't all humor that way?

lighten up! :)

BTW, look forward to see you again

No, I don't think humour needs to be offensive - the claim that it does is just the sort of thing that certain kinds of people say to defend the likes of Bernard Manning. And I don't think telling someone who feels discriminated against to "lighten up" is very helpful, no matter what you may think about the justifiability of the grievance.

Anyway, enough of this.

I understand left handed scissors, as I tried to use one and made a right mess, but I will never understand the need for left handed items which are simetrical, like pens, or mugs...

Blue Monkey makes some very valid points. I was fortunate that I was never punished for using my left hand but I know that even today their remains a strong stigma against left handed people. I served my country in the US military and let me ask anyone that has ever fired a rifle before what side the spent cartridge ejects from? If you are left handed the answer is right across your face. I wasnt aware they made left handed pens and mugs though.

They even made left handed hammer, which are very helpful if you need to save the world from an evil purple tentacle.:hammer2:

Yah, I too had trouble using the rifle when I was in the army. But.. we really need to stop. Plutonium, I suggest you use the "bold dried-blood letters of command", cos its obvious us rascals can`t control ourselves..

Well, I can let you know that I'm finishing off the next batch of workers right now. It's a terribly long process though. Also I've just found that one of them looks terrible if the civ colour is anything other than blue, which means I may have re-render the whole thing, which is a real pain and delays everything.

Thats great news! :D

Bummer! :(

Well.. it still good news :)

No previews? :)

No, I prefer to unleash them in a blaze of unpreviewed glory...

How many will be in the new batch?

MORE!!...how many brilliant units can one man make???

thanks again for this amazing project Plot...Workers are so important to the game, and yet Ive abandoned Mod ideas because the workers didnt exsist...Now there are enough workers to fill any Real World scenario (At least bearably) A great Huzzah to you sir...Huzzah indeed...

Well, I have nine ready to rumble, one rendering tonight, and two more that I thought were complete but turn out to have problems which will probably require me to re-render them. Which I really, really don't want to do, but there you go. Especially annoying as they're probably the two that would be most widely useful.

9 more!:eek: That is a major addition.

:salute: Major Additions awaiting deployment Sir!

Yayness. 9 more different slaves workers to join my workforce. :D

Prospector's a lefty!

Oh, wait. We already did that one.

I decided to add the nine I've got - they're on the front page. Hopefully the others should follow before too long. Special thanks this time go to utahjazz7 for the Sickle prop, and to R8XFT for the civ-coloured tartan.

goody goody! These workers rule supreme. Which should fill every commie's heart with joy... :lol:

Great addition to your workers library!

Since you said something more should come... I would like to draw your attention to a (in my opinion) badly needed unit: combat engineer i.e. military worker

'cos these guys are not normally involved in thinghs such minin or farming this unit should not need all "normal" worker animations. I would rather suggest to include "build road", build fortress" (maybe piling up sandbags) and "pillage" animation (used to simulate breaching and/or combat engineer demolitions) as well as "attack", "run", "default" and "death".

HarHarHar! :rotfl: The chain gang and pirate workers are now my most favourite units of all time. Great fun. Thanks for these Plotinus.

They are very nice, but now I wonder how I could use them in my mod...
I guess, they'll go with the Satyr worker

They are great. :)

I love the American and the Arab workers. The Chain Gang was a nice touch.

What is the Soviet "harvest" animation supposed to be? Irrigation?

edit: Just had a better look at the Scottish worker, that kilt is pretty cool too. :goodjob:

:woohoo:

They`re great! Can`t wait for the other 3! :D

Which would better suite the Khmer, your Polanesian or the Asian one from shogun?

Wow amazing. Now what can be done with the pirate worker?

Dude!!! I love you. And your units, too. You rock, Plotty!!!!

Thanks for the comments. The Soviet Worker is clearing jungle in the preview. And the Khmer would probably be best served by one of the three remaining units that I'm working on now, so wait a few days for that one.

Wow, everything looks wonderful. Even the lazy Scot looks great just standing around.

I like the idea of the lumberjack. Colonization had them and so should Civ. Sometimes I wish I were a lumberjack, leaping from tree to tree as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia... =)

If all the terraform functions are not included the AI will not use the work abilities. Although a combat engineer would be a great addition. Maybe something like a navy seabee, or more generic wearing a helmet. The chain gang is a real hoot I'm going to have to replace the captured worker with that one for sure. I originally liked the Celt worker as a pirate worker but I see now you specifically made one once again great job.

Wow!

So many workers! Soon, you'll have more workers than we can have civs in a game! (Which can only be a good thing :))

This is a simply excellent collection of units. Great work!

I think that somebody had already made a combat engineering vehicle. I'm not completely sure about that. Although that wouldn't be the same as an individual dude of course.

The awesome pack, now with double awesomeness :goodjob: The pegleg worker is hilarious...

Holy cheesecake! These are smashing! :D

You could simply replace the lumberjack animation.

Absolutely wonderful range of workers... and still more to come. Great job!

These are absolutely amazing! Great installment, Plotinus.:goodjob:

BTW, has your PC exploded yet from all the rendering?

:D

Awesome! Keep up the good work!

Plotinus......
you have GOT to put a Claymore in the hands of that mighty Scottish warrior!
*ahem* i mean "worker" ;)

oh man...you just GOT to! :please:

these are so great! thank-you!

Well, not sure if Plot will take it, but I second this!

Imagine the fidget or victory animation - he moons ya! :rotfl:

And the Khmer would probably be best served by one of the three remaining units that I'm working on now, so wait a few days for that one.

Hmmm, is that by chance a hint for a Southeast Asian worker? If so, that would be the most glorious news to my ears in a while...finally, my Vietnamese and Thai civs could have their own unique worker! ;)

Great expansion to the list by the way. I love the arabic worker, he looks simply stunning. And the highlander worker looks awesome as well! Now I'm considering who to dump so that I can add a Scottish civ just so I can add this great looking unit to my epic game.

Well, not sure if Plot will take it, but I second this!

Imagine the fidget or victory animation - he moons ya! :rotfl:

hahahaha! that would be sooooooo sweet.
see that Plot? the fanatics have spoken! ;)

i really feel we should have a mod about Edward I, and his ambition of turning
Britain into an empire. We'd need many Scottish units, and this guy is just sooo
awesome! :D

but i love them all, already worked in the Egyptian and African workers into my mod. great work!!

Plotinus... Congratulations and many thanks for undertaking this major endeavor. Your workers are all Very well done and will probably be used in more games than any other units since workers are always needed and so few were available before you decided to take on the task of making this variety.
:clap: :hatsoff: :goodjob:

Yes, I may as well tell you that the final three of this set will be a Vietnamese Worker, a Germanic Worker/Warrior, and a Viking Worker/Warrior. I was hoping to have them all done before the new cabinet is announced but unless there is a sudden political crisis, this is unlikely!

A sort of modern soldier or marine worker is an idea, but I don't feel very inspired without images, and in any case I can never get very excited about modern soldier type units as they all look much the same to me. The William Wallace unit idea is more fun, although kindred72 made something similar (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=47986). You could have him shout "Frrrreeeeedom!!!" during the Death.

a Germanic Worker/Warrior, and a Viking Worker/WarriorBoth Germanic and Viking workers, and with attack flics too?! Oh my... this is even better than I hoped for! :drool:

I'm very happy, my mod is becoming more and more interesting to do :)

Nice units!

Adler

...this set will be a Vietnamese Worker, a Germanic Worker/Warrior, and a Viking Worker/Warrior...

Oh my bahjesus! That is such a nice list of units on the way, I get giddy just thinking about it. In fact, there were no other worker units I could think of that I could use, besides those, that you still could have made. Now I don't have anymore possible units to request, I'm as content as possible. Thanks man, can't wait to see the outcome! :goodjob:

I felt that I should stop by again to congratulate (and thank) you on this fantastic selection of units.

The Germanic and Viking workers will be most interesting. They'd fit very nicely in a large number of scenarios.

I might possibly be able to engineer some kind of political crisis, if it were useful for you. ;) By the way, Gordon Brown is the first person in an awful long time to be Prime Minister and Chancellor of the UK at the same time. Anyone name the last one?

Bimey, this is phenomenal!

Perhaps a flametyhrower attack for the combat engineer, if one is in the line at all.

Well, not sure if Plot will take it, but I second this!

Imagine the fidget or victory animation - he moons ya! :rotfl:
Na... Starter attack ;)

A) Plot thank you SO much for the Chain gang worker...that one was my request I believe, and Im super pleased with it

B) Holy (expletive deleted)...Arab and Polynesian workers are going straight into my Mod...a few other need to be worked in...

C) The soviet worker is cooler than words

The Lumberjack is going into the FF mod as the "European" type worker, and the chain gang guy is going in as the captured worker.
