Kresta I Soviet missile cruiser

vingrjoe · Jun 20, 2006

It's finally done, after much procrastinating. This is the early Cold War era Soviet missile cruiser Kresta I. It packed less ASUW firepower than the Kynda class before it, but it had better AAW capabilities.

I increased the model scale by around 15%, so more detail could be seen.

Included in the zip are the Flics (Default,Death,AttackA, and Run), the INI, unit32 icon and Civpedia icons. No sound effects for the time being.

Looks great! I forgot other people, besides Orthanc, made ships :crazyeye:

BadKharma · Jun 20, 2006

Vingrjoe has made awsome industrial and modern age ships which made TCW possible.

Stormrage · Jun 20, 2006

I meant to say: "...still make ships..."

BadKharma · Jun 20, 2006

No problem stormrage if memory serves me correctly VJ said he was taking a break from unit creating awhile back glad to see him back in business.

Yesss- the man is back in town

with a new mount- (err boat, in this case). And with some new vocab for non-English natives... "procrastinating"- is that what can make you blind if done in excess?

good to see the absence has made u return in style

pretty sharp hull lines there :king:

...Noooo... Thats Masturbating. Procrastinating is not doing somethign even when you have ample time, resources, and ability to do it.

LoL- and I always thought merely excessive inebriative action could make one blind

Wyrmshadow · Jun 21, 2006

I like the new lighting effects.

Bjornlo · Jun 21, 2006

Looks great. I like like the new lighting effects during the attack. Also, the new death is better too.

Orthanc · Jun 21, 2006

Very nice, Soviet ships are so fun.

Glad to see I'm not the only shipwright around anymore

Ozymandias · Jun 21, 2006

Another fine one, VJ :goodjob:

Best,

I wish Aaglo would make ships again too.

I wonder if it is a bad thing to want to blow it up just to watch it burn....

Snorken · Jun 21, 2006

Awesome unit, vingrjoe. Nicely rendered.

@Goldflash: :lol:

W.i.n.t.e.r · Jun 21, 2006

That would be some interesting ships.

As usual, Vingrjoe, super stuff.
One question I have, (which I already know the answer to), is how much difficulty would it be to increase the scale of ALL your units so all the beautiful detail would show up?

Naturally, I know that would be a nightmare, but the one thing that has always disappointed me is that so much of your work (and this includes all the great unit makers) is lost when the units are shrunk down to fit the Civ III schema.

I believe I would not be the only one who thinks that if they can have ridiculously large units in Civ IV that are really crappy graphics, then why not oversize units in Civ III, but with really great graphics.

I am always the first to champion game play over graphics, but I would live with that loss of realism to see the detail you and others put into these units.
