what? i don't understand...
Ok, I can tell you absolutely love what if units, but, I'll try to explain why I like historic units instead.
Say you want to play a game of civ that feels more like actual history - so the Aztecs become Mexicans, for example. I guess it's just something that I can relate to better. It's more realistic in the sense that we know exactly how they will look (even though the circumstances may be different) but in the case of what if units, we really have no idea how they would look. So in that case we get units like Aztec Jaguars equipped with rifles and grenades, which really frusturates me.
You can always speculate what they will look like, which does work sometimes. But it's still guesswork. One other thing I don't understand about the what if argument is why the Celts end up looking like Scots... wouldn't you rather Gallic Warriors with muskets instead?
I hope you can see it from my point of view.

I agree with you here Chuggi, which is why I don't use your (nicely done) Meso Galleons and SotL... I'll use your earlier Meso ships, but I consider by the time of the Galleons, Frigates and SotL, they're Mexican, and hence, European in ship design.
Go figure!
I always thought that you were a what if sort of guy.
I agree with you on the ships, I'm going to retexture the European SotL, Galleon and Frigate (and perhaps the Caravel) to fly Mexican colours.I may not have time to continue support for CDM. I've been meaning to upload it for weeks/months but I never get around to fixing all the small bugs. So I could probably keep it as a private mod and upload all the graphics in packs (warriors, workers, infantry, terrain etc.)
What does everyone think?

euh yes i'm agree with you chuggi, it's just that mexicans are not aztecs geneticaly, culturally ect... and the scotts are celts, the roman are italians, so it is a different problem and i think you can see how the aztecs evolve in civilisation revolution by example because firaxis made special units for each civilisation in this game, the . And i have a question, how can i adapt your mod to other mods like rhy'es and fall of civilisation plz?

(sorry for double post)
And i'm agree with you when you say that is ridiculous to see jaguar with grenades, because roman by example become italians and italian army have no armor today.

Please release the whole package as well, with perhaps some notes on what the small bugs are. Other people could try to fix them.

go with the unit packs - other people can help out wit the small bugs and textures. No need to be a one-man army!
Well, a small percentage of Mexicans must be part Aztec. I'm not sure about civ rev, it would be interesting to see what Firaxis came up with for aztec units.
I'm not sure how hard it would be to merge this with Rhye's and Fall, as far as I know Rhye's mod doesn't add many new units so I guess it shouldn't be too hard.
Ok, I'm going to still try and upload CDM, but I'll release unit packs as well.

Awsome. If you have bugs that you can't catch - don't worry just make public beta 
I love the warriors too

I think it is high time for another pack in the first place
I still would like to see your mod, but when push comes to shove, I'd rather get units pack from you than wait for a version (and its units) indefinitely.
So, go with the unit packs.

Actually, I just wish he'd zip up the whole darn CD 2.1 and offer it to the forum warts and all... seems we're waiting almost as long for unit packs as for CD 2.1... just zip up your CD 2.1 folder and offer it here... I'm sure the modders can sort through the ART folder and figure out the rest...I think it is high time for another pack in the first place

No pictures, no descriptions, no fancy threads... just upload CD v2.1... I'm sure the Mod community here will appreciate it and can save you the time of making pictures and fancy threads.
love it, when is the next patch coming out?
I'm not certain, but I am working on it.
I released 9 units (almost 30 if you count variations) only 2 days ago.
