YES! Though I wish you had done the Gaucho first. Brazil is too often ignored, especially here in the middle of nowhere. Remember, Brazil had a better navy and was considered able to conquer the eastern coast of the U.S. at the turn of the 20th century. My question would be: how inaccurate would it be to use some of these units for other SA civs? They, too, are underepresented.

Straczynski · Sep 28, 2004

Daniel: Here's a better Pedia entry for the Cascavel... Yours has some errors...

The EE-9 Cascavel Armored Vehicle was developed by the Brazilian company Engesa in the 1960ies to replace the similar US-made M-8, in use since WWII. It is a light, small, low-cost, easy-maintenance and all-terrain fighting vehicle. Some countries, like Iraq, produced the Cascavel under license in the 198ies. In the First Gulf War, it was one of the main concerns of the American forces. Nowadays, these vehicles have been replaced for more modern ones.

Manny: How innacurate would that be? Some of the units aren't generic enough to be used as anything else, such as the Cangaceiro or the Capoeirista. Others, however, can be used by other South American civs, like Gaucho for Argentina or the Seringueiro for Uruguay... Also, the Pracinha, the Canhoneira or the Dragões look European enough to be used by European civs, too!

@Carlos, thanks for the new civilopedia entry, it was upgrated in the topic.

@Manny: thanks for enjoying! If u have requests, post.

@Fellows: do not forget to check the new Tucano's model, in the post number 02.

Goldflash · Sep 28, 2004

No no no! You still have jet exhaust coming from the black of the plane where there is none! And you need to ask someone for help with your explosions. Also, the current model looks like a step backwards.
