Battles Squad:

Multi Battleships you don't want to mes with.

INSTALL for Civ 3: copy content into your CivilizationIII/Art/units folder,
Go into your editor (of whatever Scenario) and add the unit in the Units Tab, add the values
of your choice. (add Civilopedia entry if you have PTW)

If you have PTW you must have an ANIMNAME_PRTO_ entry and maybe a ICON_PRTO_
entry added to the Pedialicons text Doc.

Didn't you notice that when you were making this some of the battleships appeared to be INSIDE each other...

looks good, but maybe 5 of them is a bit to much..

Yes, on a few of them I did notice that they were in front of one another.




5 is just enough.

Wow, I've never seen battleships crowd in together in groups of 5 to battle it out with the enemy. Haha, it's really unrealistic, sprnv.

Any word on how it looks in the game?

Let me get a pic for you.

it's really unrealistic, sprnv.

there is alot of stuff from Civilization III and PTW that is unrealistic.
You need to use your imagination to make them realistic.

You mean to tell me that you are N/A years old and you don't have a child in your soul?

YOu still haven't seen it in game.
It could run all over different tiles, having battleships on land, covering citys, just generally looking rubbish.

I wouldn't have posted it if I didn't see it in the game.

Yikes!!! That is one major traffic jam. Personally I think the battleship as well as the sub, destroyer and AGEIS crusier should be left single figured

Except:
- sub for a German UU wolfpack
- Destroyer with transport to make an escorted convoy

Steph: Can your program do just that, add two different units together?
I tried to do something like that but when I added the second unit there was a black bow covering the other unit.

Sure it can!. But all the storyboards must have the same number of frames, and the same size.
So first, you need to export the animation as a storyboard using FLICSTER, but change the number of frames and the size of the frame to be sure they are the same.
Then, simply select the files your want (up to 6)

I did it and I am now working on an Stealth Bomber escorted by two Fighters

Civanator

That would'nt be right for it to be escorted. The Stealth bomber relies totally on its stealth ability to sneak through and bomb em. Maybe 2 stealht bombers would be good.

I think you could "de-sync" the attack animation a bit, if you feel like it.

What make them move as one?
Wouldn't that look kinda silly?

No, Grey Fox is saying the attack animation is synchronised and suggesting that you might want to change that.

(BTW is it un-synchronised or de-synchronised?)

Also if you want to have mutli-battleships within the unit, why not reduce the size of each animation?

I like them this way. Now if only I could get SBB to make me a 5x6 rank of Battleships...

i like the destroyer-transport idea, like the worker-modern infantry one that was made... has anyone done the escorted transport?

Not that I know of.

Let me look around and if it is not here I will try to make it.

Guadalcanal, Jutland, Hawaii, plus many bombardment situations like Normandy and the Pacific islands involved 5 or more battleships.

IMO it should be 2 battleships.

I concurr- uhm is there any chance that somebody is going to make a two-ship variant (I am thinking about modding an Admiral unit - I.e. Two Manowars- 2 Iron Frigates- two dreadnoughts- and two Battleships...)
