Brazilian units pack

[Ares de Borg]

I like the Canhoneira, it looks quite okay at Civ scale. Keep on working and improving on your skills, you're on the right track.

One last question: Were these ships used by other american nations as well?

 

[Straczynski]

Daniel: Here's a better pedia entry for the Canhoneira and the Tucano... Nice units, as always!

The Canhoneiras (literally, "Cannoneers") were sailing warships used by the Brazilian forces in their Independence War against Portugal (1822-1825). The first ones were built in English shipyards and dispatched to Brazil on the final years of Colonial rule. Some weeks and months after Pedro II proclaimed the independence of Brazil, a number of regions rise up against the new government and, supported by Portugal, attacked the independentist forces, mainly in the North and Northeastern provinces and in the southern region of Cisplatina (nowadays Uruguay). The Canhoneiras were used against these Pro-Portugal forces, bombarding the shorelines and quickly transporting troops, having a essential role in the conflict.

The Embraer Tucano is the result of a Brazilian project initiated in 1978 to replace the older aircrafts of the Brazilian Air Force on recon, training and light air-to-ground support. The Tucanos are built by Emraer, one of the largest aeronautics company worldwide. The Tucano's most recent versions are considered the best turboprop-driven airplanes ever build, being low-cost and having a bigger operational radius than standard prop planes. Some countries operate the Brazilian Tucanos, like Argentina, Egypt, France, Iraq, Paraguay, Peru and Venezuela, while others build the Tucanos under license, such as Britain, Kuwait and Kenya.

Ares: The Canhoneiras were used mainly by Brazil and Portugal, but, since it has quite a generic paint scheme, I don't see why it shouldn't be used by other civs.

Congrates on making the first non-Aaglo wooden sailing ship in ALONG time Civarmy my friend!

 

[Aluminium]

Yeah, this ship is really cool. Thanks for making a new version. The former Death animation was a bit odd.

All right, that's what I'm talking about, Civ!! The new deaths are awesome! I commend you, .
edit: I just downloaded them, they look awesome, but they are small like your other units, why does this happen?

My mistake, the first version were too big and I do not note that the final version became small then other, but it is not too small, but I have to fix it, don't worry


@SoG, @Aluminium, @Ares, thanks for enjoying!!!

@Carlos, thanks for the new civilopedia entries!

 

[CivArmy s. 1994]

Download Dragões da Independência: http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads8/Dragoes.zip . It is my best unit until now
BTW, I have searched about them and I discovery they really fought in battles of Independene War and maybe he fought in a little battle against France in Napoleonic Times, invading a French Island near Brazil, when my country was a colony.

 

[Straczynski]

As I said on the preview thread... Wonderful job on the Dragões!

On the subject of if they fought in any war or not, the Dragões da Independência were probably formed only after the Independence. However, Brazilian cavalry corps on the XIXth century had uniforms very much like the Dragões', so...

And the French island they invaded wasn't an island: it was French Guyana.

And, as always, here's my version of the Pedia...

Created by Dom João VI of Portugal in 1909 as the 1st Brazilian Army Cavalry Regiment, the Dragões da Independência (literally, "Independence Dragoons") has been acting since then as the Brazilian Head of State's Honor Guard, first of the Emperors Pedro I and Pedro II, and the Presidents' since the proclamation of the Republic, in 1894.

 

[odintheking]

Alright! good unit, right size, this is what your units need to be like,

 

[CivArmy s. 1994]

Carlos, thanks, but check this site out: http://www.presidencia.gov.br/gsi/subchefia/dragoes.htm , they talk about Dragões and it is official page. And the year 1808 make sense, Dom João VI have arrived here this years, have not he?

@Odin: thanks for enjoying again friend!!!

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I think the Dragos is a step up in human-unit creation for you Civarmy...he's more Civ-like than your past human units...keep up the good work...

Perhaps he'd be a good Cavalry replacement? Hmmm

 

[TopGun]

Civarmy...my friend, the Dragoes are your best unit yet! I think they are the nicest looking cavalry unit in Civ! (And that's not just because of the beautiful uniform!)

 

[CivArmy s. 1994]

SoG, TopGun, thanks for enjoying!!!
Dragões won the Canhoneira post of the best unit done by me, I hope my next unit, the Gaúcho a Cavalo, beats Dragões and the next one, beat Gaúcho...

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Raising the bar higher and higher are we?

 

[CivArmy s. 1994]

Gaúcho à Cavalo, unique unit of the south region of Brazil is ready: http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads8/Gaucho.zip

 

[Manny Kant]

The Gaúcho à Cavalo is...well beautiful sounds awfully feminine , but it is great. Keep up the excellent work.

 

[CivArmy s. 1994]

I need finish this unit pack, the unit Mula is available to download in the post number 7, I think. It works like a Brazilian settler The other unit is Soldado da Floresta, post number 8.

 

[odintheking]

Thanks, man. These covered up some gaps in my Spanish-esque unit tree in my mod. I'm glad you're finishing these up.

 

[CivArmy s. 1994]
