bad_ronald's flag is quite good. I think you should use that one instead of getting a red maple leaf on white background.

I was trying to get it to work last night but I am having a problem using the Mod directory instead of CustomAssets. The former director loads the mod but with no changes. The latter loads the files perfectly, but I'm not sure where to put *.dds files using that structure. (Maybe I put the dds in the main directories...)
Eh, I'll figure it out. But yes, I'll use that flag.

How about a beefed-up destroyer as the Canadian special unit? Currently Canada's navy could be crushed by a small fleet of fishing trawlers, but circa WW2 the Canadian navy was among the strongest in the world. A "corvette" unit particularly strong against submarines would be appropriate (not that sea power is particularly important in Civ4....)

I think this is one of the discouraging reasons - just like the suggestion for a good WWI fighter or Avro Arrow. For one, non-land units just aren't as useful.
Second, a sea UU would probably be more appropriately assigned to the Brits or Germans...or maybe the Chinese or the early-dynastic period.
Do you have specific examples of WWII Canadian ships?
The Canadian unique unit should be the Sea King helicopter. It's special ability would be it can utilize railways unlike normal gunships since it breaks down so much and therefore spends little time in the air 
In all seriousness, one Canadian unit that would fit would be an improved destroyer. Canada's military may be subpar these days but we do have top of the line frigates. Now if we could only round up enough sailors to man them all at one time.

Remember we are trying to think of an reasonable special unit for Canada. If you want to rule out generic military types which were stronger in Britain, Germany, or the U.S. you are ruling out basically everything.
I already suggested the "Canadian corvette." I don't know any specific classes or anything. I'm sure Google would tell you if you wanted something more detailed.

That was funny.

Actually, I already thought of a reasonable special unit for Canada. Hence, including it in my mod.
I'm only suggesting that if someone feels strongly that another unit should be used in its stead, then they should develop the rationale, idea and info and pitch it.
But I'll take a peak at Canadian naval units, nevertheless.

The guy was just putting out ideas... no need to get defencive because it's 'your mod.'

Please note the
I'm not getting defensive in the least. I welcome his ideas, and like I said, I'll look into the navy idea. If other people support it, terrific by me.
I'm just suggesting that if people have ideas on anything - leaders, units, techs, whatever - then flesh them out so that we can kick them around. It's a fine idea but more info on what it would do would be great.

OK well I think you should put john A Mcdonald as one of the leaders only seems right that he should be in there.
Also for the UU a good one would be a sniper. Canada has the best snipers in the world. I mean in todays world not WW1 or whatever. In Afganistan the Americans, Brits eveyone was specifically asking for Canadian snipers because they are the best. A Canadian sniper also holds the record for the longest confirmed kill at 2,400-meters. Canadians also got top honours at the
US army sniper schools international sniping competion.

How exactly would you have a sniper unit work?
And also. UUs should be from a time when the civ was in it's Golden Age. The closest thing Canada has had to a Golden Age would probably be in the World War period. The Canadian Corps was quite instrumental in establishing Canada as more than just a British colony. A Corvette UU could certainly work, but Canada was known much more for its exploits on land during the wars.

Would you really call ww2 the "Golden Age" for the Germans? I think not. but yet their unique unit comes from that age. Thats not the point though. A sniper could maybe replace infantry. Has a +25 agaisnt non mechanized units or something like that and maybe be invisble like a spy or something. I dunno lots of diffrent ways it can work.

I know I was giving an example on how it doesnt HAVE to be from the civs golden age. But your right most are but since this is a mod civ you can do whatever you want.

also if were going to have a Candian civ would it be possible to include some Canadian buildings as well like have the CN tower and the have the Parliment buildings be the "Palace" change the Colleseum to a hockey rink in the later stages of the game like it changed to a baseball stadium in civ3.
