Screenshots?

Whats the difference besides the flag?

Only the city list + Catherine and Peters removed as leaders.

If I get any request or ideas for UU's and UB's for the Soviet Union would I (if I can) create them. I'm not any "Soviet specialist" so I don't have any UU and UB ideas myself. That's why they're russian.

Screenshots will come later tonight (I live in Sweden so the clock is 10 PM) or tomorrow.

You could add the Lenin LH I made, its already XMLed and everything in the downloads section. :)

That would be good. He and the screenshots will come up with the updated Soviet Union soon. :)


Gurra09

The Soviet Union is now updated with a second leader, Lenin and some screenshots in the download database.


Gurra09

Looks good, nice job. :thumbsup:

Don't use Cossack for USSR bcause they belong to the Tsar.
Try the mig-21

And a T-26 or T-34.

Great work Gurra09, now if I may add my two cents...

you should try resizing the soviet symbol so it doesn't look that big. See how the star is is kinda cut off?

This is the flag I've been using ever since I updated Russia to the Soviet Union for my game. Now I know it's far from perfect but I think it looks good.

mourndraken and dutchking: I should only have 1 UU so T-26 will be the Soviet UU.

DWOLF: Good idea about the flag, will fix that today.


Gurra09

Soviet Union is now updated with T-26 unique unit and a better flag. :)


Gurra09

wow what a difference...the flag looks great!

good job.

Great job. :thumbsup:

I have the same Problem. Please help!! :blush:

I thought that I solved that problem in the new update, should testplay so fast as I can...


Gurra09

The same thing happened to me and it seems to be something with the graphics. Because when I tested to use the original Tank art it worked but not with the T-26 art.

I can't find out what it is but here's the XML-code from SovietUnion_Civ4ArtDefines_Unit.xml:

Gurra09

Does anybody know how i could use the original Tank graphic for the soviet union?

Idea for a UB: Secret Police (jail)

Manowar182: I'll update it so T-26 will loke like a normal tank because I can't find out the problem...

Circuit: I think Research Institute is good as UB.

The UB could be the KGB which replace Intelligence agency

Manowar182: I'll update it so T-26 will loke like a normal tank because I can't find out the problem...

I have aslo a problem with "T-26 crash". :(

I hope you can find a solution because i want to try a real "Usa vs Urss".

I'll give the T-26 the graphics of the Tank unit or find a new Unique Unit for Soviet Union.


Gurra09

There is a comma on your button tag that needs to be removed.

OK...


Gurra09

there's a few other tanks that you can use to replace the T-26 Gurra09,

the T-34 , T-55, T-72?

That's likely the problem. My civ (Rema, in sig) crashed upon building the RCC building for that reason. Thanks, Flint.

KV-I, KV-II, T-80, T-90 are all Soviet tanks that have also been made into Civ4 models... I think there's some SU and IS tanks as well... might even be a BT series tank floating around too... in other words, all kinds of choices, you don't just have to think "T" series.

OK...


Gurra09
It sounds like you didnt understand what I said, so...

<Button>,Art/Interface/Buttons/Units/t_26button.dds</Button>
this tag needs to look like this
<Button>Art/Interface/Buttons/Units/t_26button.dds</Button>

All that I did was remove a stray comma
