Unit: Desert Storm Paratrooper

dog · Aug 20, 2002

No big deal, a color change to the existing paratrooper. I wanted to use the existing paratrooper (in white) as Special Forces so who's gonna be the modern paratrooper?? The green para I'm using for a WWII airborne. The black specops para I'm using for a specops unit (duh). So...guess I gotta make my own modern para. I just took the standard para unit and added some tans and browns to the uniform. Voila! Desert Storm Paratrooper was born. Let me know if there are any problems with the animation.

And part two of three...

Part three is a sound wave for the drop .flc. It comes from CTP.

Well, I don't know what happened. Yesterday I made an animated .gif preview. Today I did the same process (I think) and I get a static .gif pic. Basically...I don't know what the hell I'm doing. Here's a preview (non-animated).

You should use the easy file upload system. http://www.civfanatics.net/upload.html

a very good idea to just recolor some of the units, I like the way the paratrooper looks!

Hi. First post here but had to say I really liked adding this unit into my games. Like you I made the original Paratrooper into a special forces unit with "all terrain as roads" flagged. Kinda like the Alpine Troopers of before. Anyway, nice work! I use normal paratroopers now more than I used to.

Figured out how to make an animated preview (again). Hope I don't forget again... :scan:

You have to have 300 post to get a unique picture. For a not unique one go here http://forums.civfanatics.com/member.php?s=&action=editavatar .

I'm using this graphic as an American UU, an Army Ranger with improved stats of a paratrooper.

There arent too many paratroopers being made. I have 2 on my site (other than the civ2 one).

Looks like we could use some more

There should be at least three floating around, all color variations of the regular paratrooper. A black one called Spec Ops, a green one and this desert one. And of course Balou's units all have paradrop anims.

GIDustin · Nov 30, 2002

I forgot about the spec ops. I think it is in the wrong category on my site.

Thanks for bringing that up.

And all Balou's future units should also have the drop animation.

GIDustin · Nov 30, 2002

Weird. I have only one of Balou's units on my site. What units exactly are they? (may want to PM as this is definately OT)
