Dora Rail Gun

Hunter · Feb 21, 2003

This is more of a specialty item but I am having fun with it so I ask you to give it a try.

To the retired Nonnob3: thanks for your units this one is for you.

There were only two ever built and the "Dora" was the only one ever fired. The 80cm railroad-gun "Dora" was designed to destroy the French Maginot Line but was finished to late to do this and instead was used to attack the Russians. This monster was the biggest rail gun ever built so my model is large however this unit could be used as any rail gun.

If you give it mobility give it only one and make it wheeled however I am using it as a immobile city gun. The cost should be VERY high.

This is my finished unit but I am calling it a beta because some things went wrong when making it. I think they are all fixed however I am waiting till Monday to release the pedia stuff and to hear some feedback. Also I have to go away this weekend and I wanted to post it before I left. So enjoy.

Wow! Very cool. Too bad we cannot restrict some units to rail movement only!

Stormbringer · Feb 21, 2003

I am making a Russin civil War scenario, any ideas on how I can restrict this unit to railroads only?

alireza1354 · Feb 21, 2003

My God this unit rocks...

bhiita · Feb 22, 2003

I'm going to give all artillery attack and defence now, just so this can rain it's fire apon them and destroy them. :eek:

NOTHING can stop my invasion now. :evil:

Oh, how mighty babalon will fall.
I'm giving it a three or four range :mischief:

:edit: I meant BabYlon

Der PH · Feb 22, 2003

Been waiting for this for a long time!
Thanx alot!
:goodjob:

McClane · Feb 22, 2003

Yeah, wonderfull.
Best Artillery Unit ever!

Ozymandias · Feb 22, 2003

BEAUTIFUL unit!

... Again, the lone & mournful plea from the lone & level sands ...

Isn't ANYONE hacking away at trying to modify terrain and/or unit attributes to limit land units to different terrain like RRs??

Idea: a "hacked" editor adding a fourth type of unit: "Land Restricted". Can only go in one type of terrain ... ?

Awesome!

The Dora is one massive hitter!
I can't wait to put this steel monster in the game!

Amazing work, Hunter!

Best you can do is make it wheeled, or restrict it to immobile city use, and give it 3 bombard range.

That is what I plan to do.

Agreed -- ahistorical, but almost certainly the best possible solution.

... Anyone give any thoughts to bombard strength and cost for this lovely beast?

Ok im back from the weekend and scince the unit appears to be liked I am finishing a few details tonight (incuding the pedia stuff) so check back.

Nexushyper · Dec 11, 2003

@Hunter: Awesome unit, however, did you ever get the pedia stuff added and is there a units_32 icon for this unit so I can add it to the game?

Thanks!

Supa · Dec 11, 2003

I'm not sure, but I think someone made some pedia pcx. Check CDG.

HotCiv · Aug 17, 2004

Hello all, I've attached some pedia icons for this fine unit. I needed it for my mod, so I made the large pcx. copy&cut'n'paste + resize from the info-site of the Dora Gun.
