[Graphic Mod] Varietas Delectat v9.2 [civ specific unit sets]

Hey Avain is an update to the Modern Era expansion in the works?

Yes, I already did the major part of the merging with VD, so you can expect it soon (it depends how much time I have after work)!
 
just downloaded 3.5, great work as usual mate :goodjob:

cannot wait for the modern era to come out....
 
Wow, updating fast I see, I feel like I've just updated tot 3.3 and now 3.5 is available. I will update my version at once ;-) great work to fix the reported errors! With my current game playing The Netherlands I've encountered another strange problem. The Dutch Knight also uses witchcraft, like the Sumerian Knight I've reported earlier (and corrected in 3.5, superb). But with the Dutch Knight something else happens: While attacking it shoot's (yes, for real) with the sword. At the tip of sword gunflare and smoke appears. But I'm sure the knight doesn't carry a rifle.

Also a suggestion. The set of unique units of the dutch is limited to pre-industial units. except for the cavalry so I've seen so far. But could it be possible to update the dutch rifleman to appear the same as the cavalry. In most other civ's the riflemen wear the same attire as the cavalry. I know you use other people's graphic stuff, but maybe you can arrange for this to happen...?
 
Is there a way to stop the buildings from going "vanilla" when you get into the modern age? I always find myself dreading that sudden switch from unique, diverse, ethnically correct cities to the "Everyone has skyscrapers now" look. Perhaps it's a simple code switch that is, unfortunately, beyond my meager/nonexistent civ-modding skills.
 
@all: Thanks!

- Modern era is on the way, I just have little time this week to work on it and I intended to include some cool new stuff, so please be patient a bit
- The Dutch Knight using witchcraft - yes, I know about this issue, at the time I notified the creator about this. I will try to correct it if I can...
- Dutch units - will check if I can add some more
- Buildings in modern age - I agree with you, but we need the support of graphics people
 
Wouldn't it be possible to display Renaissance era buildings throughout later periods? I'm sure it would, if you added the "ERA_MODERN" tag to it ;)

It's possible, yes. But as things are now only with 2 citystyles at the same time, otherwise you'll get texture mixups.
So you could have Renaissance&Modern cityset buildings in the same era, but not Renaissance&Industrial&Modern cityset buildings.

Of course, if some artist would create a cityset (single .nif file) with Renaissance and Industrial citybuildings in it, and create a single texture file for it...
 
Is there anything new coming for VD within the next week or should I feel free to download the new version now? (I skip some, sometimes, because sometimes my downloads are quite slow for some reason).

I cannot promise that I won't update it, but currently there are not so many new units I could add. But it can change at any time - Chuggi or Bakuel or bernie might release some new stuff... but as for now and for the advice: I'd say that yes, you should download v3.5.
