Have fun!
Steph Aug 11, 2003, 04:38 AM AAAAAARGGGHHHH! I will never finish my mod with all the new units I have to add constantly!
BeBro Aug 11, 2003, 06:25 AM Those are some of the best looking units ever made. :)
Wyrmshadow Aug 11, 2003, 07:22 AM We are all going into overdrive trying to complete the MOD. I've done 10 planes since I started last night.
thestonesfan Aug 11, 2003, 08:49 AM Good luck, guys! It looks great!
Colonel Kraken Aug 11, 2003, 09:04 AM Wow! :eek: Great looking units. Makes me want to whip out my old Panzer General II. :D
thestonesfan Aug 11, 2003, 11:06 AM The Blitzkrieg campaign is perhaps the most played part of any game I own, ever.
"Ah! Good day, Herr General!"
ripptide Aug 11, 2003, 11:27 AM Beautiful job on the icons zulu and stains :)
sorry to cause you so much grief Steph (yea right :D ). Unfortunately, that was an out of date pic to boot )
thestonesfan Aug 11, 2003, 11:39 AM This will be the greatest thing ever.
W.i.n.t.e.r Aug 11, 2003, 12:15 PM Hi guys, Do you have any need for sth like this ???

Seriously, I'm EAGERLY looking forward to this one!
:goodjob:

Steph Aug 11, 2003, 01:02 PM There are only 54 units. American Conquest and Cossacks = 230 units I think.;)
ripptide Aug 11, 2003, 02:42 PM hmmmm don't recall saying that those were the ONLY units )
Troutline Aug 11, 2003, 02:43 PM Hey, you think you could upload a tank model with a machine gun on it? I am going to make a WWI-WWII machine gunner unit and if you already have one then it would make it so much easier on me. The MG42/MG34 or browning will do just fine. After all, the Marine has an AK.
If you decide to, .3ds format is perfect.
thestonesfan Aug 11, 2003, 02:52 PM The Marine in Civ3 doesn't have an AK, if that's what you're talking about.
Troutline Aug 11, 2003, 03:25 PM Well then, what is it?
An M16/M4 does NOT have a banana clip, and the color of the stock and general shape gives the impression of an AK series weapon.
Troutline Aug 11, 2003, 03:26 PM close-up
Hunter Aug 11, 2003, 03:39 PM These units look great but...
When is this mod to be finished?
zulu9812 Aug 11, 2003, 04:38 PM we're actually trying to do as much as pos. between now and Wednesday morning (the deadline for inclusion on Conquests)
thestonesfan Aug 12, 2003, 08:12 AM Troutline - I honestly can't tell. It almost looks like the back half is from an AK and the front half is from a Thompson.

Steph Aug 12, 2003, 08:29 AM For me it is quite close to an AK 47
Troutline Aug 12, 2003, 10:32 AM Yes, the grip does look a little strange, it pops out too much, which is thompson-like. But for the most part it is an AK that they didn't put a lot of deatil into.
Ozymandias Aug 12, 2003, 01:00 PM ... And since when has Civ been known for historical accuracy? :rolleyes:
Troutline Aug 12, 2003, 01:08 PM Exactly my point. If a American Marine has an AK47, why can't an American Machine Gunner have an MG42?
thestonesfan Aug 12, 2003, 01:50 PM Well, I think the Marines are about the coolest looking unit in the game, so I don't mind. But I still can't see the front end as being very similar to an AK. :D
Zeekater Aug 15, 2003, 03:25 PM @ripptide: could you post a list of names of the vehicles in the 'new' picture, i know most of them but some i don't recognize
thx
Kentonio Aug 18, 2003, 08:23 PM Btw for anyone who expressed an interest in playtesting at the SOE forums, this will begin on Sunday of this week. The conditions of playtesting are simply...
1. You have enough time to contribute to deliver feedback on the mod.
2. That you do not release the contents to any other person until SOE is properly released.
3. That you do not use the contents of the scenario for any other mod or scenario until SOE is properly released.
4. Unfortunately due to the size of the mod file we ask that only people with fast connections partake in playtesting at this stage. Upon release of the mod it will be available in several parts for easy download but at this stage we will be using just a single file. Sorry to the 56k users out there but it just isnt practicle for you to playtest at this point.
Sorry if it seems like im laying down rules for what is in effect a process that helps ourselves, but im sure people will understand why the above is necessary.

How come? Couldn't I just d/l it overnight?
Kentonio Aug 19, 2003, 03:21 AM You are somewhat an exception Zulu considering the work you have done on the mod. :)
zulu9812 Aug 19, 2003, 04:54 AM kewl :D
Kentonio Aug 25, 2003, 05:06 AM Ok the playtesting files are now up for all those nice people who signed up. :)
