Dumb Question?

[Kiyoshi Neji]

I was thinking about naming this something about adding units, but I expect to be baned or something before it was even read.

The only thing I want to know is, Adding units seems to be a hard and tedious thing( Maybe I'm just stupid and think it is ). Now the amount of "custom" units on this site is staggering. How many do most of you have? Because it seems like each one would be a pain in the butt to add.

I've downloaded over 250 units from this site, and theres also mods I've downloaded with even more units in. I know what you mean about the process, but once you get used to it, it doesn't take too long. What I use depends on what mod I'm doing; I've got one mod that uses a lot of these units as flavour units, but by and large I wouldn't use that many. My current mod uses just one of the units per civ (as a UU).

It's alot easier if you use Civ3MT (available in the Utilities section), it configures everything through one interface, and even lets you add the civilopedia and some of the pediaicons stuff using it too.

dude, it took me forever to properly add units into the game. but once you get the hang of it, it is quite simple. it comprises of 3 basic steps after you DL the graphics:

-add it into the editor
-add it into pediaicons.txt
-add it into civilopedia.txt

i think colonel kracken has written a nice tutorial on how to add units to civ 3. maybe you should check it out.
