freezes my game. The pedia entry is fine, the text entrys are fine,
it works in flicster, i opened the ini file and set the speed to 225 like all the other units. Any idea whats wrong? Please

Welcome to CFC!

Do you get any kind of error message? How do you know that it's that unit that causes the game to freeze?
You would probably be better off asking in that thread...

I just downloaded it and sure enough, it freezes the game.

I had a similar problem with a unit called the "Turk." The unit creator made a boo-boo, I can't remember what it was, but he released another version later that corrected it. Not much you can do except alert the unit creator to the problem.

Probably the unit's pallete. Building graphics can crash the game without error if they are indexed impproperly

So how can i play with the pallette. I like a challenge.

hmmm...palette seems to work in Civ3FlcEdit...let me try it in game...

It's not the palette, but I do know how fix it. I had the same exact problem too along with several other people. It only happens if you load up the unit in game, It's got something to do with the animation timing, I suspect it was the tool or the method in which Jobiwan made the flcs. It is easy to fix though.

Just load up each flc file for the unit in Civ3FlcEdit, adjust the animation timing and then hit save and it will update the flc. The problem is fixed and the unit should work fine now.

I did PM Jobiwan about this problem a few months ago, but he hasn't fixed the units yet.

Here are the other units I've encountered with this same problem:
Munificent Star Frigate
Imperial Star Destroyer
Star Wars City Defense Pack
Ancient Cruiser
Recusant Light Destroyer
Dreadnaught Cruiser

Cool, i'll try that now

someone post a fixed version so that people who don't have the abilities, time, etc. can still use the unit?

Ok, I posted a patched up ARC-170 that works in-game over in the ARC-170 unit thread
