Three "City Units" April 21, 2009

These are "City Units"... a combination of a city and an animated Unit in One.



Good For Pre-Placing on your Map or if built in a City, you can set them to Airdrop for placement.
Recommended settings:
Remove Go To, Explore and Load. Set 1 Move. Set Zone of Control if you like.
IF you want the Units to last longer set Stronger with more Hit Points.
Will Not Heal unless you have a Wonder that allows Units to Heal.

Each is only one Unit, made to appear as a "City" with the Unit inside.
Note that you can first place a "Special" Resource on your Map
then Cover it with the Unit. The Special Resource will be available
when this Unit is Destroyed.

The individual Units used to make these City Units are Originally by Kinboat: Iroquois Brave, Native Spearman and Samoan Clubman and Plotinus: Iroquois Worker.
I was sent the Teepee image I adjusted years ago and do not know who made the original.

Flcs, Units_32, Large and Small Civilopedia Image, Adjusted .ini and Read Me Files included. I made a Death Sound for the Iroquois Spearman and the Island Native.

The Flcs use a Default, Attack and Death.

Great idea and good work!

This is a great idea, and a clever re-imagining of the "city unit". I've always wondered why so many city units never did anything other than just sit there.. I have just one small comment, that is, shouldn't the indian villages have squaws visible rather than warriors, unless under attack?

You've done such a wide variety of work. This is very cool and I know you took your time to get it just right with the shadows of the units et al.

Balthasar... The Warrior and Spearman are Not Visible in the Default. Only the Teepees are seen.
IF I had a Squaw, I could have added the image or default animation but as it is, only the "City" is visible when the Unit is Not Defending...or Attacking if set with Zone of Control.

There are many other animations that could be added... an animated Default that shows a Unit normally with slight movements as well as a Fidget.

"City Units" can be anything. For example, A fountain could be set as a "City Unit" and have water Squirting up or Flowing. When attacked, it could leak water and when Destroyed, it could crumble away.

One of the Good Things about "City Units" is that you can place Special Resources on your Map then Cover them with a City Unit. The City Unit must be destroyed before you can gain access to the Resource.

Againsttheflow... Thanks, yes, I adjusted the Shadows so they do not show across the City Structure...only on the Ground.
It is necessary to make a Template to use that Helps when adjusting the Shadows so they do not show over any City Structures.
Just a Procedure.

That`s a nice Iroquois Family ! With a distinctive instinct to protect their Homes. And very well done ,like always.
For the Squaws : A Squaw shown while working I held for the best idea. (Sadly there is none.)


btw: Thanks to make my aware that I have missed Kinboat`s Samoan Clubman. Not found him today on my HD ,so I have downloaded him again. I could swear I have all units from him downloaded.

Wow Vuldacon! Another nice detail for somebody's mod.

And I hadn't seen the Samoan clubman either.

You have a squaw: The IroquoisWorker made by Plotinus. In your CCM testfiles the unit is named American Worker.

And of course another fine work you have done here.

Civinator... Yes, I did not think of her... Well, I made these units years ago and just thought I would upload them for anyone who might be able to use them.

Or be inspired by them.

Because some of you wanted an Iroquois Squaw in the Default for the Iroquois Warrior and Iroquois Spearman, I made a New Default animation for them and Updated the Database files.
I had to make a New Palette and also change a few colors but the Teepees seem to keep their Basic same appearance.

Game Tested and Looks as intended.

The Other Default flcs are still in the files so IF you do not want the Iroquois Squaw and animated Campfire, you can use the others.

Plotinus Made the Iroquois Worker I added to the Default. She is busy Planting and has a Nice campfire going to Cook with after she completes here chores... Guess "a Womans Work is Never done"
