Ive been looking but i havent seen any units I could use as a scout with a really high movement rate. I was thinking of either a small partol boat or maybe a hovercraft. Heres a link to a drawing of one hydrofoil fast attack boat.

I would have just posted the image but Im not sure how to do it

EDIT: I havent looked really hard for these so maybe they have already been made but a post modern ship would be cool. Like these future American frigates.

That does sound like a good idea! How high would you make it's movement rate?

For the scout, was looking for something that could have a speed between 9-12

As for the Future Frigates probally just the same as the Aegis cruiser, maybe 1 more movement

For the scout, was looking for something that could have a speed between 9-12
At that speed you could get across oceans in one turn! The whole world in four turns!

i play on huge maps 220*220 so i think it will work out fine though your right i dont think this would make a good unit for those who play on small or tiny maps

I'd go for a large movement, but sea and coast tiles only :)
or even coast only

And here they are! Schnellboot voraus! http://www.cdgroup.org/forums/tbs/civ3/viewtopic.php?t=6433

Thanx for the link, this will make a very good industrial age scout boat, now I just need something for the modern age. ill probally give this unit a movement rate of 7

Nobody interested in making that supercool hydrofoil?? Maybe it would be too difficult to make but I think it would make a really great addition to the game.

I agree that it would be nice. It is a niche of unit classes that have not been represented so far by civ3. Maybe Wyrmshadow could make it for you, he is the best I know at real life ships.
