Civ Units

[ShiroKobbure]

of course it would be asian not japanese swordsman but yes basically. I would also like a UU for every era

What about doing like Civ1 and Civ2, with a set of all unique units, but the same for each civilization? IMO the spirit of Civ2 particularly is in that fact of many heteroclit units put toghether within the same civilization, the civilization you are playing, it is to say any and every civilization in the game. Like that, each civilizatoin would have the war elephant, the hoplite, the legion, etc... i feel it amazing to play a mystic civ with so different and heteroclit units in the same pot. It draws the figure pretty well. Of course it does not fit what you reach mainly ShiroKobbure, but could be a kind of compromise. (like civ is familiar with)

But I would like, also, to be able to play more with the 'golden age', like being able to have more than one of them in an entire game. It may implicit several unique units, maybe one for each era (but it may be hard to find one for each and each civ, for example what ancient uu for america?) Several events could also trigger a favourable period, like the discovering of a new land and/or new ressources, a war with an important enemy, the end of a war, etc... I would add also that civ3 authentic 'Golden Age' is too weak in my opinion, and should allow the discovering of more techs to allow a given civ to really make the break. Of course there could be several kind of favourable peiod, already like in Conquest with the scientific golden age, it could also be an economic, production, and why not happiness only favourable period.

im not sure what your saying but you could easily mod civ 3 to make every civ have the UUs

not the UUs particularly, but the characteristic units at least. I sea the canon like a characteristic unit, but it is not a uu. Anyway i've already moded civ3 in order to give the civs the same heteroclit units, but it would be better be at the root of the game developement. For example, i don't know how to create a new elephant ressource to replace the horse one (at middle age that is), and it would modify the original game anyway, more, i had to disable golden age for the remaining uus. And the accent is not put on their sound imo. But maybe i just need to play to civ2? (hey, but civ3 rules! and i can't find it anyway)

Check out Rhye's of Civilization , particularly the Expansion Pack (RoCX) for units that vary graphically with their associated civ.

UU should come like small wonder. If, Rome's swordmen beat a x unit a certain number of time, they become legions (or immortals), but no body could build them, and they can't have another UU. But the choice of the civ would be easier. Ex: the only reason I don't choose Egypt is the war chariot, a wheeled horseman that brings a GA.

I hope the game will be moddable easily so we can make our own units. Cause a native american in Arabia or a Phalanx in Norway is simply bull.....

 

[ShiroKobbure]

yes...
As I said every culture group should have their own unit line graphics (like EE2)
which is something I am shocked hasnt been done until now

personally, its my hope that the reason they went for less units over all was so that each culture group could have custum art
