I did none of the art in this unit, I simply put Kinboat's Howitzer togeather with Smoking Mirror's Gas Explosion. They deserve all the credit.

Here's the essential Gas Shell for everyone making a WWI Scenario. I'm putting it in my WWI scenario (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?threadid=70232)!

Download The Zip (http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads6/GasShell2.zip)

How to install the unit: Put the unit folder (UNZIPPED!) in the "YOUR_SCENARIO_NAME_HERE/Art/Units" folder, and then put it into the editor in the following way (DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING WITH A * BEFORE IT, AS IT WILL MAKE THIS NOT WORK CORRECTLY):

A.D.M: 0.0.1
B.R.Rof: 20.2.7
Cost: Not sure
Creates Craters
Colateral Damage
*Cruise missile
*Ranged attack animation
Requires Escort
AI Strategy: Tactical Nuke

What is Colateral Damage?

In Conquests that is kills civilians, destroys building, destroys terrain improvements (I think). Civilians would be killed, and roads and building ruined.

From the editor help file:

"Create Craters and Collateral Damage (Unit Statistics)
Create Craters - This unit attribute checkbox is not selectable for units with a Bombard strength of 0. Units with this attribute can create craters during bombard attacks.

Collateral Damage - If a unit with the "Collateral Damage" capability attacks an enemy unit and the enemy takes damage, then:

If the defending unit is not in a city, the artillery/bombard value of the attacking unit is used to conduct a bombard attack on that space to determine if any terrain improvements are also destroyed.

If the defending unit is in a city, the[sic, should be then] the artillery/bombard value of the attacking unit is used to conduct a bombard attack on that city to see if any buildings or citizens of that city are destroyed."

Okay, I'm going to ask you guys a question:

How do I post an attachment, so that it has that little WinZip logo on the left of it, and it says how many times it was downloaded? I want to see how many times it was downloaded, and need to do this. However, I can't seem to find out how...

Uhh... Never mind. I just never use the "Post Reply" option, I always use the "Quick Reply." Oh well.

Sorry. How do I make it a .gif? It's an flc.

Edit: If this helps, I have photoshop.

Okay, got the gifs. Be aware, they are rather slow.

The gas you see in enemy territory (the gas has misteriously become darker colored in the gif...):

It looks good, if nothing else. Can't check it in-game, ATM, sorry.

The Gas looks a lot brighter in the flc, it's more of a light green there, btw.

Its probably the conversion to gif that lowers the quality.

I'm sure it is.

BTW, I've changed the AI strategy to Tactical Nuke, as it is sort of an early version. Too powerful to be a Cruise Missile.

btw, wasn't it Kinboat who made that howitzer?
