Howdy
I've made up a changed civmod.bic file for those that are interested. I have not posted to the customisation forums as I don't know if these changes will work on a PC. They probably will. Plus I don't know what the capabilities of the CivIII editor on the PC platform so I may be duplicating work already done so apologies if this post is off topic for this forum... this is just to show how other changes can be made (adding transport capacity to the Frigate etc) outside off an editor. At least I think that you cannot add in transport capacity to the Frigate on the PC editor at the moment.
Needless to say then that this custom civmod.bic is for Macintosh only at the moment (version 1.17g).
I tampered with twelve of the units in the game:
Scout : Now has a Defense attribute of 1 point
Explorer : Now has a Defense attribute of 2 points
Warrior : Upgrades to Spearman
Swordsman : Ability to attack from ships and now upgrades to Marine
Longbowman : Upgrades to Musketman
Musketman : Needs Iron in resources (as well as default Saltpeter)
Rifleman : Needs Iron in resources
Infantry : No upgrade to Mechanised Infantry
Frigate : Carries 1 unit and now upgrades to Destroyer
Destroyer : Carries 2 units
Ironclad: Upgrades to Battleship
Man-O-War : Carries 2 units
Anyone who wishes to try this customised civmod.bic file can download the archive here (58k):

Full instructions are included in the archive.
