I've been everywhere, man
All-

This is my way of saying, "I'M BACK!" I created a lot of units and new graphics on top of my work on Blood and Iron over the last 6 months+ in the sandbox. The following is just the first in a set of releases. Over the next week or so you can expect to see AT LEAST the following:

-WW1 Naval Pack 1
-WW1 Aircraft Pack 4
-WW2 Vehicles Pack 1
-WW1 Aircraft Pack 5
-WW1 Vehicles Pack 2
-WW1 Artillery Pack 1

Though most of those are units for Blood and Iron, I have a lot of other miscellaneous units that I will post stand-alone, like the B-52. All in all, I have about 40 brand new units coming out soon. Fun, right?

So here we go:

The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range, subsonic, jet-powered, strategic bomber operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) since 1955.

The B52 uses the standard stealth bomber animations, please point there in your XML. The skin was modified from one on the CombatAce forums.

Note: This is not a re-make of my old B-52, but a completely new unit.

Polycount ~960 (down from 2200).

ENJOY!

IYYYEAAHH!!! :woohoo::rockon::dance::band:
Agent Smith is BACK!
Bunches of cool units are coming!! :drool::bounce:
We were missing you :cry:
 
I bet you did that with first hand experience. :P
Welcome back by the way, I am still puttering around, but the forum messing up makes it tough to be around much...
 
:woohoo::woohoo::beer::beer: Awsome, it's good to see you again :) Welcome home :) :beer::beer:
And for unit - great redo of your one of the oldest units. Beautiful :)

EDIT

40 units? :xmascheers: Santa Claus comes with a lot of gifts this winter :xmas:
 
I was waiting for your return :)
awesome to have you back.
great to hear you are fine.
 
The B-52 is a significant weapons system to include in the game. (I often felt that the Stealth Bomber should be a unique unit for the U.S. though. It is certainly a very unique unit not matched in any significant number at present by any other nation.) One of the troubling things is that most nations do not have/have not developed a jet strategic bomber. So, I guess we have to use a little "logical extrapolation' when matching nations to specific types of bombers.

Nice to see you posting some great stuff again. I have been away from CivIV stuff myself for awhile, but I'd like to get back to doing some of those "modern" units I mentioned to you a few weeks ago.

I never thanked you for being so free with your creations. Experimenting with a few of your units helped me to figure out how to actually make some originals of my own. I hope we can all have fun sharing at our forum for some time to come! Thank you SnafuSmith!
 
welcome back belatedly snafu :)
 
Excellent unit :) I'll be adding it to my mod's next version as a long range bomber unit since people "complained" that my Bomber-> A10 Thunderbolt upgrade path was not the most logical choice historically. :D I'll probably use some of other your new WW1-WW2 unit creations in my mod once I get some research done about those unit types...
