Hi! Me again :mischief:

This time I didn't do a WH-unit for the dwarfs. I did a WH-unit for several 'nations'. The Empire steam tank.

Just don't worry about the death-sound. It's a joke (but goes quite nicely with the death.flc :lol: ).

This unit has not been tested in game, so if any problems occur, please inform about it :)

The files are
here (http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads6/Steamtank.zip) .

Here is a demo of the following animations: default, fidget, run and fortify:

Here is a demo of the following animations: attackA (cannon), attackB (riffle) and attackFlame (a puny attempt to make the smaller weapon a flamethower):

Here is the demo of the death animation:

And here is the xl-version of the civilopedia image

first to post!!!:D

It be even looking better than original..:love:

You never disappoint.:)

Great Unit.:goodjob:

I love it. (and thanks for the flame attack.) :)

These units of yours are really tempting me. I have no logical place for them in MoM, but I would really like to add them.

Very nice! Now all I have to do is figure out what to do with it. :lol: Only two days from preview to the finished project. Speedy. :)

Looks lovely :D The death animation especially is quite masterful...And the attack looks even more great, with it being a little closer to the ground...

What to do with it:

Make it available with steam power (or ironclads in C3C), stats would be (8-4-2), costing 90 shields, requires iron & saltpeter to build, wheeled is true (no mountains or jungle), also cannot load onto ships, upgrades to tanks. A nice option for attacking riflemen, actually this would be a nice WWI tank.

ARGH! I didn't get the second post :p! Great unit (again) Aaglo. Now how about that...

Damn that was quick! Looks excellent. :goodjob: :thumbsup: :)

Aroundandabouts what I was thinking, though the attack
may be a bit high... perhaps have it be an 0-4-2, wheeled, with
a sweet bombard,... 8.1.1 (?)/collateral damage,... replacing the
canon for....... Byzantium.

It's so sweet a unit I can't resist finding some place for it
in my flavor epic mod. :D

Aaglo = :cool:

Hey guys, I just found this fansite,..... and may I say you guys are great! I've been a civ adict for years and finding this site is a blessing. I've looked at most of the created units and I'm amazed, my favs are the steam tank and the tiger chopper, not to mention all Embryodead's fantasy units. You will here of me again, I'm thinking in getting into creating units.....
Keep up the good work

Thank you very much, Aaglo, the Master Engineer :D

Ah the reliable technology of the Empire...

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

Exelent as always:thumbsup:

WOOOO that is great aaglo good JOB

Very nice. I love the death anim.

Nice, as usual. :D

Maybe I should actually play the empire for once... Or the dwarves. I never did beause they didn't have a bombing unit (dragon), but now with the Gyrocopter, that might have bombard... Embryodead, any idea when we can expect a new version? I'm eagerly anticipating it.

I usually play the high elves or the empire myself, so thanks for the addition aaglo! :thumbsup::thumbsup: I think this might go with some of the civs in my mod as a 4th era unit.

Love it! Not sure what I'll do with it yet, but I love it.

HAHAHAHAHA- I love it :) this definitly goes with Leonardo's Workshop - I just have to put this into my stuff- hey, if I included the renown Torro Tank this one really does it for me :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob:

I saw the ilustration of it on a medieval book and the name whas Mechina Inferno.It is great:goodjob:

my goodness... this is your best unit since... well since your last unit. I have them all! Thanks again aaglo!

A Very Inventive Addition aaglo...I agree with W.i.n.t.e.r, this Unit definitly goes with Leonardo's Workshop. :goodjob:

How can you put a steam powered unit before the discovery of steam power??

The steam engine was invented by the ancient greeks, just no one found a good use for it untill the industrial age (though it was the developments in the field of metalurgy caused by the wide-spread use of cannons that made real steam engines possible).

Aglo, this unit is superb! exelent work. :) I'd love to see what you could make of a mech... (perhaps a steam mech!)

:goodjob: :goodjob: Great death too!!
but, sadly, i cannot use it for i have a annoying admin code that no one put on my PC. Anyone know how to take it off?

Whoa, an extreme death animation! Cool! :D

The back wheels also look closer to the main body, so that's also good.

Thanks to mtrn, the death looks that way :lol: (he suggested something like that IIRC).

And yes, the rear wheels are much closer to the 'shield'.

:goodjob:

I like this tank !!!!:goodjob:

I can't say more , just that it's very artistic ...

:)

Cool Unit but I,ve DL 3 times, where can I get the sound files for the steamtank, Anybody ?

Vuldacon is usually right on top of that subject. Maybe he hasn't found some yet. Right now it uses sounds from original Civ3 units.

These dwarfs surprises me again and again. Thanks a lot, aaglo! :jump:
