Looks nice. It's about time somebody made some Asian Units.
:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Well, it could be improved a little I think.
But otherwise this is a very badly needed unit. I like the armor and headcloth a lot.

BTW you can make only one zip by using the "Upload File" at the bottom of the page, that will be easier.

HuanYing !

As I see you have the chinese version of civ could you answer this question: Who is the leader of China in this version?

Bu means "foot"
"Zu" means soldier
--> infantry sounds a reasonable translation.

Thanks to you all!

To Steph: Buzu(步卒) means an Infantry.

To Yoda Power: Li Shimin or Mao Zedong.

LouLong
Jan 07, 2004, 07:40 AM
WangYuShi, does the "Civ3 Chinese arms" picture mean you will be doing other Chinese units ? That would be great !

Yes, Who is the current leader of China.

;)

Seriously though, I am amazed that this Li Shimin leaderhead isn't a myth! WangYuShi, could you please post him? We were waiting here for ages for someone with Chinese version that could post that leaderhead, as many people feel it is more suitable than Mao, at least for first two eras.

I hate to nag about this, but it's only because I think it's great unit ... and I don't know how to fix it myself.

The unit is not centered; it's far too low compared to other units. Test it in-game --- he'll only attack people's feet.

Wangyushi, wonderful unit!:goodjob:

I beg you to post Li Shi Min! Puh-leeeeez?!:)

embryodead
Jan 07, 2004, 02:40 PM
I fixed what I could:
- shadow (it was too light, almost invisible)
- centering
- some glitches in unit and pedia icons

There is still a problem of default anim being rendered in different light setup, so it looks strange when the unit fortifies. Other than that, it's great.

WangYuShi, I hope you and your friend don't mind if I post the fixed unit here:
http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads6/buzu_fixed.zip

I can help with shadows, centering etc. if needed (it's tricky because FLICster is unfinished program and you have to dig a hidden feature of it to center units). Same for that palette conversions.

@ShiroKobbure
It appears so, look at WangYuShi's signature ;) Seems a large site, though I don't understand a bit of it...

LouLong
Jan 07, 2004, 04:15 PM
Thank you, embryodead.
I guess with some advice from you and Kinboat he could make real good units.

I have found the maps and the units parts on his site but the only units I have found are two by Utha and two by Kinboat.
SBB, Flicster and many maps are from here too so I definitely think we could try to reach an "exchange" agreement.
OK I am not perfectly fluent in written Chinese but I don't think I could have missed the "next" button to find these units.

Great unit, great leaderhead, and great thread.

Finally somebody is making Chinese WWII-era Infantry units, and even Ancient and Medieval units. This is fantastic. Do you have the translation of the names done by WuJixu? It would be great if you would.

I wonder what the other era splashes for the Li Shimin leaderhead look like. I'm going to download it now and hope it's not corrupted.

Thank you so much wang!

Thanks. However, I prefer Mao Zedong leaderhead, well atleast for the Modern Era. The Li Shimli leaderhead looks good for the first 3 eras, I think the Modern one looks horrid. The Mao Ancient, Medieval, and Industrial aren't too bad though.

I thought the Chinese Civ3 had a choice to choose for leaderhead.

It was more like ... well... "hebrew" to me ;)
Actually about SBB, Flicster, etc (and maps or units as well) that is what I said in a previous post, telling we could make a kind of parntership with file exchanges between the International english language site here and the Chinese site "there". Man I am so hungry for these Chinese units. :love:

Wangyushi,

I wanted to join in the chorus of thanks for your efforts and to further extend your already hearty welcome at CFC!

Although I generally try to speak only for myself, I know that many of us -- especially some of those who have already posted (and whose language skills I am envious of!) -- have long thought that all of Civ was far too centered on European history and culture.

Your joining us -- by definition, helping us in these efforts -- is extremely appreciated, and your presence very welcome. -- Do not be shy to ask for assistance in return!

Again, welcome.
