Let me present two units made from files found in main game directory, in scenarios folder. The units are mobile SAM and mobile Artillery.
All the hard work was done by feraxis employees i just add a couple of lines to the code. Though i find it quite strange why they left this nice models out of the game.
I think i'm not the only one that felt a need of a quick and powerful artillery unit at the later stages of the game. Also, i believe, a more maneuverable sam unit that can cover your units from airstrikes may be welcomed.
Also i made a micromode for those who dont want to rummage game files only because of two units.
And yes, although i made relatively thorough search, looking for similar thread and found nothing, i still doubt that i was the first who found these "hidden" model and published it here on Civfanatics forum. So if anyone already did so please dont get angry at me for replicating your post.;)
Here come screens and mod

If you read he says he didn't do it.

Anyway it has been included in a few mods (like greenmod) for at least a month now.
 
Check the GreenMod, by Master Lexx. It uses those 2 models since version 1.52 came out. ;)
 
I've recently put these on the Moon. :D

I wish Firaxis would release some more units....
 
I thought about adding civilopedia description for this units, but disided to leave original entries for SAM and Artillery since it actually fits to this units too and very little people ( so i think) bother to read it.
What i did is tweaked their characteristics and added a starting promotion for each one ( barrage for artillery and garrison for SAM)
 
It's not copyright infringement because everyone here already has Civ IV (and most of us payed for it). Plus, Firaxis chose to give away the patch w/ these units for free. Besides, nautil gave firaxis full credit.

Btw, Nautil, awesome discovery. Mind if I add them to my composite mod? I have 38 units so far, so these units would make that 40, a nice round number.
 
Yes, of course. It's nice to see the SAM truck put its "arms" on the ground and that missile streak away. :D

Sure, feel free to use it ! In addition, we all have equal right to use them since this units are not my own artwork . They came with last patch of the game so, logically everyone who legally purchased this game is rightful to use them just as we use any other unuts. So u even dont have to ask for my permission :)
 
Have they been allocated to any techs advances, etc?

Details?

:)
 
Yes , Mobile SAM requires Computers and Oil in addition to rocketry and Mobile Artiller needs Compisites and Oil. I know it not so appropriate , there are better techs that could provide building of this units, but that all that i was able to think of at that moment
