Ideas for Unique Units and Buildings.

DVS: Yah, I had some free time today that I wanted to put towards good use, just six more... then I can move on to units!

Sandman: Here's a nice list-
Edit: DVS you beat me again! lol

DVS: I was looking for a name, but I don't think Hamas are really that associated with Palestine, actually, in 2007, the Hamas took control over Gaza from the Palestinians. Maybe a more suitable name would be a PA Solider? (Palestinian Authority, I think that's what their still called)

Edit: Sandman! You beat me to it! (I really need to improve my typing speed lol)
 
FYI: We're trying to stay away from any and all political debates here. We just want to get this mod done. A lot of people would call Hamas a legitimate resistance movement to an illegal occupation, and now a political party that is the legitimately elected government of the Palestinian territories (that part is hard to debate).

For the purposes of keeping this mod on track, we'll call them neither and just include them because they exist.

We're just trying to represent what units are fighting where. Clearly the main Palestinian forces are Hamas fighters, which is why I say they should be that civ's UU.
 
But, when do you hear about forces other than Hamas fighting? Other than smaller, less organized terrorists firing useless home made rockets?
 
lol @ joecoolyo. Maybe you need Mavis Beacon! Actually it probably has more to do with the fact that I look for updates here very often whenever I'm online.

This is one of the political arguments I didn't want us to get into, unfortunately I seem to have started it.

Hamas was actually elected by Palestinians in both Gaza and the West Bank the last time they had elections. BBC. They didn't take over power, they were voted in. It's the other guys (Abbas) who took over power without an election.

Plus, as I mentioned, they are the fighters in Palestine. I don't support these guys by any stretch, but personally I think it's crazy to leave them out.
 
gentlemen, please! You cannot fight in here this is the war room! :D

May I suggest a compromise?
Fatah and Hmas aswell as a myriad other groups all have there own militant groups in the Palestinian Territories. May I suggest a Unit named Palestinian Militant to reflect this fact, that way we acknowledge all groups.
As it is DVS I can see why you would want it as Hamas.
 
Edit: Your right DVS, I think i need mavis beacon, when typing i missed like four replies...

sheep21: Well, by the article, it said it was a very fast unit, and could be deployed anywhere, so I was thinking along the lines of:

Royal Marine Commando- Replaces Marine
+2 strength from regular Marine
+50% attack vs. Machine Gun
+50% attack vs. Artillery
Starts with Amphibious promotion, Woodsman II, Guerrilla II, possibly Mobility (maybe that would make them, a little too fast)
 
swap out +50% for plus +25% or +50% against armour and we got a deal :p AFAIK there are no purely machine gunner units in the mod

Yah, lets not get very specific with Hamas n'stuff and just name it after the civ! Easy, simple, and who knows? In a couple weeks, the Hamas might not even exist... you never know

+25% might be for the best, I've already made it an insanely fast unit... don't want to overpower it
 
Canada is on the list of civs we already have!

USA
Russia
China
NATO
EU
Philippines
Canada
Palestine
Israel
Failed States.

Plus the ones you have already done.

We need units for every OTHER civ. Sorry for any confusion.
 
As Joecoolyo mentions, another good piece of info to include here if possible, is which unit your idea will be replacing.

Hope my nitpicking doesn't turn you off helping out! I hope you'll keep up the good work. :)
