coolcosh, if you have more techs please post them so we can add them to the list. you can choose what requires what too. I really can't decide what the chain of development should be.

 

[coolcosh]

those are great. ill add them to the game if you want me to...

 

[Axid]

sounds greaat to me.

 

[pesoloco]

thanks, but can you think of any more? It would be cool if we could come up with even more.

 

[pesoloco]

here is a flight school improvement

this produces veteran air units

 

[pesoloco]

Soon I will convert the improvement graphics to PCX and post them

 

[pesoloco]

added some more techs to the post above.
check em out and see what you think.

 

[coolcosh]

ooo. i like

 

[coolcosh]

thanks,

so what are we doing for the civs?
i was thinking:
carnivore dinos
herbovore dinos
ombivore dinos
humans
bird dinos
sea dinos(would have to be able to go on land also)
that only six: the bad thing with doing specific species of dinos would be the lack of units also, with these, we can make a certain species the leader, so we wouldnt have to make the dinos be highly intelligent and have names

 

[coolcosh]

axid- are you adding the techs to the game?

 

[coolcosh]

ive been watching dinotopia- its been helping with some of the dinosaures

 

[pesoloco]

Hey guys. I haven't been online in a few days. School's out so I had to move out, so I had no computer for a while.

Just a little progress report:
The dinosaur rider unit is only a few days away. I solved some of the pallette problems I had and am now making rapid progress. It also helps being out of school and having more free time.

I saw Dinotopia too.
Some neat Ideas... I'm interested in what ya'll thought

 

[coolcosh]

i thought dinotopia was okay, have u seen axid? he hasnt posted in a while

 

[pesoloco]

I haven't heard from Axid. I don't know him outside of this forum. I hope he comes back soon. Maybe he's like me and got disconnected for a lil bit.

Anyway, the first dino unit is COMPLETED!!!
click the link in my signature.

I am gonna take a tiny break from units for a day or two and then start some more dinos.

 

[coolcosh]

great job on the unit

thanks. sorry you had some trouble using it. I'm sure we can get it worked out though.

 

[pesoloco]

hey everybody

sorry i havent been on lately
i am without internet
it really stinks
now i am at the library

the 2nd dino unit is done, but i cant post it since im at the library and the library wont let me use the disk drive.
i will hopefully be getting cable internet soon.
dont worry i havent givin up on this mod.
even though you may not see me posting very often i am still hard at work

I saw in the expansion pack there will be a dinosaur unit. looks like a t-rex. perhaps we can incorporate that into the mod too when it comes out. (arrg I wanted to make a t-rex )

 

[Axid]

i'm back, finally. i got disconnected for a while. i haven't been working opn the mod cause i didn't have the stuff to do it. otherwise i would have been doing it.

i did see dinotopia. i thought it was decent. it could have been better though.

i'll be getting the first dino unit soon. it looks great from the pictures peseloco. what do you think about using womoks dragon unit? the reason i suggest this is that in the bible, in Job it says there was an animal that could breath fire. so i was thinking it might be a decent idea. just thought i'd through it out there.

i'll start doing the techs and units buildings etc. as soon as i can. i have to redo the ordinary game cause i had to reinstall civ. which was a real pain.

that's about it for now. can't wait to see the second unit.

oh just a thought but you could do a t-rex unit and then we could see which fit's better with everything else. i was thinking that a continuity would come from haveing the same person do most of the units. if you aren't upto it htough peseloco we could scrounge some from other places, maybe. just a thought.
