Finally the Grenadiers and Doughboys of the Good old Days have a counterpart:

The WWI 3rd French Republic Trench Infantry

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads6/snap090.JPG http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads6/FrenchGrenadierAttackA1.gif v.1.3.2

Perfectly ueable as a French Replacement of the Firaxis "Infantry", Grenadier and "Kaiserjäger" (http://www.cdgroup.org/forums/tbs/civ3/viewtopic.php?t=4697) in game mods. In a scenario, this unit may be used for French or Tzech units in the late WWI time (for Tzechoslovakia even until WWII times). If need be, it may also be used as a late WWI Italian Infantry unit.

Thank you guys !! :)

Thunderfall, Padma and Chieftess,

When will you stop the CDG-sect from mis-using
the open the friendly and open attitude of CFC!!!

Rocoteh

Did you make the model, or is it cut and paste?

[To Rocoteh]
my dear impatient religious (civ-)fanatic,

had U asked nicely I would have told U where you can find this unit on CFC as well, as it has already been residing here for some hours- but sorry- I'm sure U'll find it on your own (if done quickly its not too hard to find anyway)- too bad that this topic seems to be the only thing that some people come to this forum for.

If you don't want it don't download it- I just thought some people would like to have it- as far as I am concerned I do not really feel compelled to swearing "loyalties" to any of what you may call "Sects". If you have issues concerning posts, threads or other CFC members I can merely advice you to send the moderators a private message.

W.i.n.t.e.r, please provide your modpack on CFC too. In order for people to download that mod, they have to sign up AT CDG. It's nothing more than a sly attempt to disguise an advertisement thread. "I've got this mod, but you have to sign up and join MY site in order to get it".

Aaaah, now we are talking- see :p it is the magical word that does the trick, Thank you Chieftess:

Here thus the latest version + Ini Fix (http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads6/French_Grenadier.zip)

(since u r here; is there a way to check the number of downloads? because I really miss this particular feature- another reason why I preferr uploads on CDG)

W.i.n.t.e.r.,

I am sorry to see that you are avoiding a serious
discussion. That is cheap rhetoric and I am not surprised.

I am not interested in your units and I am not interested
in your juvenile talk.

I am concerned that CDG which I regard as an elitist
and snobbish sect misuse the very open and friendly
attitude of CFC that has 43 000 members for their
own miserable interest. CDG = 2 500 members.

BTW: Your post has been reported.

Rocoteh

Interesting to hear that you are calling me juvenile, Mr. my site is bigger than yours :lol:

but if you really would like to get personal I'd say you PM me :) otherwise someone might get banned

Several of my relatives was murdered in Bergen-Belsen

The German people has my respect.

The kind of "German humour" you represent gives
me very bad memorys.

Period!!!

Rocoteh

Excellent unit, W.I.N.T.E.R :) Cool stuff, as always ;)

Maybe the unit should look better if you add a shadow. If you can't get the transparencies in the right way, just create a plain grey one, that would do the trick :cool:

Then why do you post? If you're not interested in the units, just shut up, don't you think? ;) You should post constructive feedback, not nonsense. Better visit the OT section to find some friends :D

1 year ago you said you were a German student.

Rocoteh

lol this is great :D first of all Rocoteh if you aren't interested in his units then why the heck did you look at this thread. second, if you want to tell the moderator something, why dont u pm him, not fill up threads with ur complaints no one wants to hear. Third, Winter made a unit, shouldnt he have the freedom to do what he wants w/ it? fourth, what the heck are you talking about german humor and junk?! lol. well w/ all that said.... you arent making any sense Rocoteh.

Silence! As Rocoteh says this is indeed a shrewd way to advertize a site that specializes in WW2... specifically Nazi units. As it says in the rules:

Posting of advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are inappropriate on this forum. You are ONLY permitted to advertise your site in your signature or in the "Other Civ-Related Sites" forum if it's a Civ site. The exception to this rule is to inform others of sites that provide a service to benefit them. For example, posting a thread regarding a new free web space provider is acceptable providing there's nothing in it for you except the satisfaction of helping your fellow members.

You have to log in to download stuff from CDG, so this thread and any other threads having units connect to CDG ought to be closed unless the creators post their units here at civfanatics. It is a just thing to do. Links in sigs would be removed as well according to the rules of the forum as it still is self-promoting self-profit interests of CDG as you have to be a member to download. This is my solution.

PS - W.i.n.t.e.r, Understand this is nothing personal at all against you. If you were to put this on CFC, I would download it and use it for my WWI scenario.

I would suggest you stop posting NOW. Your comments are nothing more then trolling. It also seems more like an attempt to start a site war against CDG. Which no one wants. Oh yeah CDG is not "elitist and snobbish" many of it's senior staff post and joke around with posters all the time and Recon1591 is defintly not a snob.(no offense to the CFC staff of course) I promise you that it is not a sect. It also does not try to compete with CFC. So please keep your comments to yourself.:mad:

Rocoteh and Winter, stop the flame war.

This site also has as you put it "nazi units". Also the TRT team is only a small part of CDG. I know for a fact that the site does not specializes in WW2, I have seen a lot of Swedish units of there, Modern American units, aaglo has posted his warhammer mod units there also, Thorgrimm has his WOTW scen. there (thats Sci fi BTW). WW2 is a small part of the site. One forum over there specializes in WW2 units, there are many other forums over there that have nothing to do with WW2. As to this thread had you bothered to read the rest you would see the unit is on this site.

:cringe:

To see such arguments are not what anyone wants in these forums (both CDG, Apolyton and CFC) :nono:. Please refrain from it.

:rolleyes: My goodness- so that's what this is about? And you have been hating me for all this time just because I wrote that back then :o my god this is the internet- I could have written that I was 7ft tall, blond, green-eyed and handsome (yeah- I wish) - wait, I really am blond.

Btw. my one grandfather was German- so I somethies like the idea- my other Granfather's family -he was Part-Serbian got sent by the Kroats to the Campo de Concentración "Theresienstadt" (Concentration Camps)- when the Russians came they killed the ones that were left of that family branch- only my Grandmother survived and settled first right where she was in Bohemia, then had to flee to Munich and finally went to Cataluña. So, there is some German in my blood (apart from Catalan, Spanish and Kroat).

So, no heart feelings here either- please accept my apologies if I have made you feel bad before. It was not intended in any way. And if I make jokes about other peoples complains- it is just some psycchological sort of defense mechanism- so please don't get irritated by my cynicism- it is really very harmless.

Please keep calm everybody- a fight is not why I posted this unit or why we come to the forums- come on- the new version awaits downloading and to be played with :)

Right- back to "normalcy" :)

I am going to make a quick pallete change to this one so we will speedily have a Belgian Infantry as well- for a scenario- or for the Dutch Civ (I know , I know: the Dutch have absolutely nothing to do with Belgium ;) but I anyway suggest to merge these two tiny civs to become a -small- one).

After that is done I think I will go onto making a Ottoman Infantry

Despite the large variety of units, CDG generally has more WW2 German/Nazi units on its site than any other major topic. Its members also in some ways seem... overzealous about it to the point that it is disturbing. I did not say it was ALL WW2 German, but clearly the main focus of the site is. BTW, if this unit is on CFC, it does not have an obvious link, and im not planning to search the forum for it. So in my opinion, no general link to a CFC dl is present.

PS - MarineCorps, that was a rather offensive post.

Who da hell cares from which site he can download a unit he needs ?
It doesn't matter !
CDG CFC Apolyton ... all very good CIV related sites. And it is not interesting for me on wich site I have to register myself :P
Personaly I have accounst at all three comunitys, and I think many others have as well.

Stop this, or the thread will be locked. We are here to give W.I.N.T.E.R some feedback about his unit. Not to start a war between sites, not to insult anyone.

Okay, I'll post my question again: did you make the model, or is it cut and paste? I'm just wondering, I can't imagine anything that this was cut and pasted from, but I could be wrong (I have a bad cut and paste sense, look at that machine gun unit from, a while ago, I couldn't tell the people were from the TOW infantry :crazyeye:).

Either way, it's very good.

Cheers Buddy,

Actually this one goes back a long time: It is a Cut-Paste job indeed. And the reason it is hard to recognise is that it has been changed at several ocasions :) It is actually the (1) Firaxis Infantry. Nonnob made his (2) Grenadier of it, then Updated that to a (3) grey version. Then follow the (4) Kaiserjäger- the same v.2 Grenadier with a new helmet (Bismarck) and the- uhm I don't know the word in English -straps around his trouser instead of boots.

Now all I did from there was to change 8-10 pallete colours, made a new helmet (well- that one could look better) and Tadá:

(5) French Infantry

pd. yes the Modern Marine- haven't actually touched it since Firaxis hmmm- implied that they weren't too sure about liking it if I posted it... will see ;)

Oh- I forgot; if U click on the "Kaiserjäger" link you can see what it looked like before- its in my signature or in the first post...

Another (sometimes disliked) feature is the backpack that it has kept eversince the infantry- I once was about to finish a Spanish WWII unit with a different backpack but lost it in a PC crash... so the backpack still looks the same :rolleyes:

Winter, first off you are much better at this than i am, and if you do not mind i have a few comments. The unit reminds me of the Luftwaffe infantry units deployed on the Eastern front, is there any possibility of changing the helmet, as it still looks like a German Stahlhelm, Also the blue looks a little too dark, maybe lighten up the blue just a tad. Sorry if i sound a little to critical, but i assure you i am not. just constructive critisim. As i would like to use it in a mod of mine.


Cheers Thorgrimm

Hmm- yes I had thought so too- it is a bit too blue-ish...

About the helmet: that should be easy to do- basically just changing the pallete of the Grenadier (v.2). I'll be making a Norvegian Infantry too- still haven't decided if with a hat or the Mk16 Steel Helmet, but in any case there would be a unit like the one you describe.

If you could do an early war French infantry with the red trousers and Kepi, that would rock dude! and thanks for a better unit than i could do.:goodjob:


Cheers Thorgrimm

In theory: Duable- but I think someone has posted a set of European Riflemen last year- including a British, Colonial, Prussian, and one French Rifleman- if I am not mistaken that last one fits the description you just gave me.

If you want an Infantry-Style Unit instead it will have to wait a little bit as I want to go ahead with the Turkish and Russian Infantry l8r... ;)

That is no problem, as i was thinking of the infantry with the long coat not the short one of the rifleman.


Cheers Thorgrimm

CDG APOLYTON AND CIVFANATICS RULEZ !!!!!!

Find someone who is more likely to be amused. Im not here to start a flame-war, but I will defend my friends.

This is a great way to join the forum's in my opinion, 3 posts and youve pissed me and Rocoteh off, creators of some of the largest scenario's at CFC. A peice of advice: CFC is the #1 civ site out there, the others I do not go to and have no opinion of. Rocoteh is reffering to how forcing people to download from a site that requires you to join their forum to DL is hidden advertizement, and misuses CFC in that way. If you want to shout off comments and call people noobs when we have been here far longer than you have, you dont have a bright future here.

Concerning the Unit:

It looks good, and looks like a unit I would want to use for TGW, my WWI map. However, instead of causing trouble, I will make my request: Can you please download your unit to civfanatics and place that download on the first post? For some reason my computer has 2 different methods of downloading, a fast one and a slow one. CFC has the faster DL, while I could wait much longer with the slow version, which CDG has (for some reason, even though you have to be a member of CDG to dl the units there, I can and Im not a member there). I have your KaiserJager unit and I thought it was impressive. I hope you can do this as this unit is something I was looking for.

Thanks
- Sarevok

Well Sarevok if you would have looked at the first post instead of running your mouth you would have seen that the units was there at 7:54pm. So next time try looking before you run your mouth and make yourself look foolish.


Thorgrimm

Thanks a lot for this unit :goodjob:

I'm looking forward to any more WWI units you do.

Thorgrimm and Sarevok, this thread just started to cool down. Don't heat it up again with another flamewar.

Thanks for the unit W.i.n.t.e.r. - we definitely need more WWI infantry units. Any chance of flat-cap British and German soldiers?

Concerning the Unit:

Hello Sarevok, the link has been there since yesterday- if you go to the first post again and click the main download (plus ini fix)- or you can get it going upwards from your initial post to post number 9 (latest file includes fix)

Yes :) there is a good chance- but they won't look too different from the actual unit that are available- with the differenc of wearing a flat-cap :)

So far Planned for WWI are: Belgian, Turk, Greek, Russian (and two or three that may follow)

Thank you LouLong ;)

I see it now, thanks W.i.n.t.e.r!

Thank you. :goodjob: The number of units just keep growing. When will I ever finish my mod? :cry:

I have long waited for that. Great!!! :goodjob:

Welcome, Guys !!! ;)

A new version its on its way:

Includes updated sounds,
Shadow for default,
Shadow for Attack,

@Sarevok That arguement didn't work for me. What the hell makes you think you're so special that it would for you?

Keep on pumping out infantry, armies arent just made up of tanks and airplanes.

is this unit's colouring too light?

File Updated- see first post for latest version :)

About your new nunit : yes, kind of bright. Can you reduce the light, don't you? ;)

But a nice unit too :b:

:)

Thx- I can make it somewhat darker- here is the same unit with a different background for greater contrast- still too light ??

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads6/bbg.gifhttp://www.civfanatics.net/uploads6/BelgianGrenadierAttackB.gif old file/darker file

Nice Poilu unit

good new version.

Winter, I do think your infantry unit is GREAT. I also have a question since I am new at this. How do I change the contrast on a flc so that it is the regular pink transperant color. I am wondering because sometimes I come across a unit without an 32 icon (not refering to yours in particular) and in that case I like to take the flc transfer it to gif then pcx and resize it to 32. But when the contrast is different I dont get the right effect. So if I knew how to change contrast in the flc I could make proper 32 icons for units with dark backgrounds like naval units. Or mabye I need better software then generic xp stuff lol

(Not directed at anyone in particular)

Also I couldnt help miss some of the infighting about war etc. I also have had realtives who died in the war and I am here in Canada as a direct result. I am full German on both sides and my dads mom came in 1939 to escape Hitler and here husband was German but worked and died for the Polish navy and had to scuttle some boats before the German army came. Everyone has a different way of looking into things about a war. But in no way do I understand how a video game or a unit can cause a personal fight or verbal attack Real war is UGLY but we all like to play military because we like the strategy and we know in a video game no one can get hurt. But if it came to someone putting a rifle in our hand to actaully shoot someone and see friends die beside you then thats something to consider personal..A video game and the creative geniuses here in this club are here for fun because it stimulates our minds...just had blurt my 2 cents in a general way about this kind of thing.


****HARSH WORDS ARE ONLY BULLETS FROM THE MIND. YOU THINK THEY HURT BUT THEY REALLY DONT UNLESS YOU LET THEM.****

Cheers Guys :) !!!

To Sleepy Eyes: I wouldn't know how to generate a civilopedia icon :D never done one, really- this question is best asked in the main Creation & Customization (http://forums.civfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=46) forum.

Hello I just finishd editing my last post a few times and then saw your post. I know how to make icons just not the contrast in the flc..If I could do that I can do naval Icons that have a dark background...But Ill go look in the creative forum.

Here is an icon for your unit....
