Has anyone figured out how to extract the units from "Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom"?

There are some great units in that game. It would be great if somebody could figure out how to extract them and convert them to flics.

I don't have the game, just ran across it in a search and thought, well now, those would look great in Civ3. :D

Isn't emporer made by sierra? if so when someone does work out how to extract units from emporer can they tell me and i'll do the same for Pharaoh and Caesar III

yeah, they are all made by the same group. They have a Greek game as well, thhough I can't remember the name of it.

i think its called Masters Of Olympus by i could be wrong i actually ordered it last year but they didn't have any i wanted all of the different games Caesar, Pharaoh and Masters of Olympus (assuming thats what its called) as this was before emporer came to my attention which i'm supprised i don't have

Actually, Emperor was made by Breakaway Games (distributed by Sierra, though). I think they use the SG3D format for animations.

Wow, those would make great additions to DyP, er I mean Civ3.

i was asking the question to anyone who could describe it apart from being chinese orientated

ok, well it looks basically like Pharaoh and Caesar but from a Chinese perspective.

there is an online tutorial at the Sierra site.

So now that Breakaway Games is doing Conquest we shouldn't have any legal problems with importing these units into Civ3. If someone could just explain what the SG3D format is and how to convert it to usable flics that would be great!
