New Unit: Sniper

sourboy · Aug 4, 2004

Sniper
:sniper:

This is a general sniper for use in the Industrial or Modern Ages.

Credit:
The original unit creation was by Balou as a UN Peacekeeper, later modified by dog to be more of a Special Ops [post #48] unit, and finally modified much further - to this final creation: the Sniper.

Files:
Included are animations for attack, death, default, fortify, and run. Sound files include attack, death, fortify, and move. The remaining files are the INI & unit_32 files.

Unzip the files into your [..\art\units\] folder.

Edit: New Sniper zip now contains the additional work done by Vuldacon, including tweaked sound & ini files, as well as several unit icons.

Basic download removed after 1337 downloads.

Simply wonderful!

This is a good and quite useful modification

Thanks.

Great! What about the suggested stats and skills?

aaglo · Aug 4, 2004

I'd say
Attack=5 (large guns, not suitable for attacking fortifications ect.)
Defence=8..10 (allways hiding in the most peculiar places)
Move=2 (this could be also 1)
Bombard=6 (representing 'stealthy' attack)
Range=1 (duh!)
RateOfFire=1 (to make it not too powerful)
Stealth attack-ability (the low attack does not make it too powerful)

Costs a bit more than infantry

Yes, the arm band reflects Civ team colors.

Follow the link that Kulade posted above - it's a great tutorial. All the files you need are included in the zip, but there are a couple that I haven't figured out how to create yet (icons). They aren't needed to use the unit, but are rather just 'eye candy' in various menus of the Civ game. I'll add them later.
