Battlefield Asia: The Mod(Idea Stage...comments please with cherrys on top..)

its called a naginata and its a defensive weapon.I dont think the spearman should upgrade to a musketman. the archer should but the spearman should stay because the samurai still used the pike while the musket was being used.
 
Pikes and Muskets toghether happened in european nation's armies as well I believe, at least until the bayonet was invented(Which combined the Pike and Gun toghether into one all-purpose weapon)

I could withhold the upgrade of the Pikemen-type units until the Menjii Rifleman becomes availible at the end of the second era..
 
SoG: It's "Meiji" not "Menjii" ;)

For China's modern period, you could give it Russian arms like MiG fighters and Russian tanks.
 
Swoggy, please do as I asked... I need just a simple basic unit lines, not all that flavor stuff.
 
Thats not going to work. Balancing and Mod size issues. And even if what I said was total bull****, I have issues with it. You'd better get me something I can work with or the trees I design will be total CRAP and you'll have to change them and then I'll get pissy because you slashed my trees and I'll probably shoot you with a camera, you son of a man and a woman!

Behold my total Mastery of teh Engrish wangrage.
 
you need a basic outline of units, now some civs may not get some and some civs may get add ons, but you dont have to use every asian unit you see on the board, and you dont need to give every civ its own unit replacement, that doesnt make a better game, it makes a bigger file. Here is a basic unit out line:
Warrior---swordsman---knight---Rifleman--grenaider--infantry--future/final infantry
spearman--pikeman-------------Rifleman
Archer--Advanced archer-Musketman-RM--

Horsman--Horsearcher--Calvery--early tank--tank--modern tank--future tank

bi plane--plane--jet--future jet
bomber--stealth bomber

something like that, that all civs for the most part follow, now maybe nomatic civs dont get foot soldiers or only get a few of them, but they dont really form their own unit tree
 
YES! EXACTLY! Like what Shiro said! I NEED IT MAN!

I'm all for thinking out side of the box but sometimes the box is what we need, Clucky!
 
Well, currently I have the following unit lines:

Chinese
Japanese
Korean(Shares a few units with Japan and China)
Indian
S.East Asian(Shares units with Indian and Chinese lines)
Nomadic(Starts with only Horsemen, later becomes like the Chinese Line, except for the Huns)

I've managed to get at least 1/3 of the units so that they reference existing units in game(although I haven't figured out how to reference the PTW Japanese Units...if anyone knows how..please share...because that would reduce the Unit Foldier size by ALOT)

The only units that are totally new are the Mongolian Horde units, the Ashigaru Footman, the Samurai Spearman, the Chinese Riflemen(WW1, WW2), the Tiger Warrior, the War Elephents(Rider, Archer, Cavalry), the Naval(Junk, Cannon Junk, War Tiger, Steam Tiger) and the Unique Units(Nak Rohp, Mahout, Firelancer, Turtleship, Hwarang, Shaolin Monk)

one mod starts like normal civ game, other mod takes place around 3rd/4th century

My Unit line:
Swordsman
Warrior---Swordsman---Advanced swordsman/long swordsman
Archer
Archer--medievil archer--musketman--rifleman--trench infantry--infantry--advanced infantry/future infantry
Sperman
spearman--pikeman/kwandaoman--
Horsman
horseman--mounted knight---lancer--armoured car--mech infantry--mech robot
Horse Archer
horse archer--calavry--ww1 tank--tank--advanced/future tank
Artilery
catapult--trabuchet--cannon--artilery--radar artilery
Fighters
byplane--fighter--jet fighter--stealth fighter
Bombers
bomber--steath bomber
Transport
galley--caravel--galleon--transport
Armoured Ships
frigate--iron clad--destroyer
Battleship
dreadnought--battleship
Aircraft Carrier
aircraft carrier
AEGIS
AEGIS crusier
Ninjas
ninja--sniper--special OPs

these are generic names, when we talk about UUs from now one in "(___)" put what unit it replaces. Now chinese get crossbowmen instead of archers and the Japanese start off with longbowman and so they miss the advanced bowman. Some civs miss out of units in the line and some civs get units that dont fall into any line.

Japanese UUs
Kensai (advanced swordsman)
Zero (fighter)
Mounted Samurai (mounted knight)
