DESCRIPTION

Ever thought the Modern Era needed a bit spicing up? Well, I did. Whether because
I felt it was too short for my taste, or because there's a ton of cool units
just craving to be added - an expansion with technologies to lengthen the era
and some new unit classes to spice things up a bit seemed like a great idea.

So what can you expect?

New technologies:
Pioneer Aviation, Jet Engine, Supersonic Aerodynamics,
Prototyping, Sloped Armor, Multiple Expansion, Diesel Engine

New unit classes:
Galleass, Ironclad Cruiser, Ironclad Battleship, Early Destroyer,
Protected Cruiser, Pre-Dreadnought, Dreadnought, Cruiser,
Armored Car, Command Car, Assault Gun, Armored Fighting
Vehicle, Early- Battle- Light- Medium- Heavy- and Main Battle Tank,
Early Fighter, Early Bomber, Light Bomber, Early Jet, Supersonic Fighter,
Jet Bomber, Close Air Support Aircraft, Advanced Tactical Fighter,
Helicopter, Transport Helicopter, Early Carrier, HUMVEE, Modern Infantry

THANKS

You might find a lot of similarities between this mod and other modern era mods,
most notably snafusmith's Modern Warefare mod. More often than not, the ideas in
it matched mine. At times I used them as a reference - and hell, is it so bad to
acknowledge good ideas - with due credit, of course (thanks, snafu!)

The author used the units found on www.civfanatics.com,
so all credit due goes to the creators of these brilliant units -
including snafusmith, danrell, asioasioasio, Chugginator, Bakuel, bernie14,
Rabbit, White, sepamu92, Zerver, GarretSidzaka, C.Roland, AlazkanAssassin,
Ploeperpengel, seZereth, Cham, GeneralMatt, Polycrates
and forgive me if left out someone(as I have, I'm sure), but pretty much all
of the civfanatics unit db was used, so thanks to all the unit makers!

Csak kérdezni akarom, hogy a modban ugye nincs benne a RangedBombard, mert az jó lenne.

Ok, so the question was: Does this mod include Ranged Bombardment?

And the answer is: no, this one only contains new techs and unit classes for the Modern Era. On a sidenote: I do intend to do a ModPack that will have Ranged Bombardment and more.
 
Sooo, I'd have a question for anyone who can answer:
- What's the deal with damage states? I mean, with a lot of (older) units, you can see smoke coming out just as if they've been damaged... Is there a way to correct this? (I think this is a BtS issue with these units, but I know nothing more about this...)

ranged bombardment would be sweet!

Also is there a way to make galleons and frigates have some sort or early/modern art. Its kind of annoying to see frigates that the AI won't upgrade floating around in the modern era. if there are some generic graphics that could serve as "modern" graphic for these weaker ships it would be nice to see that added.
 
hi,

im just trying the expansion and i´m having some strange problems.

i´m using the german version of civ and all the new units that you added are called "luftfahrt" for me, it´s the german name for the technology called "flight".
so all new units are named like a technology. it´s the same with all new added technologies, they are also all called "luftfahrt".

is this expansion only working with the english language?
it looks to me that the german words for the new stuff are just missing.

greetings

Prankowski
