Heroes

[DRJ]

For Italian culture I suggest Garibaldi and Carlo Pedersoli, better known as Bud Spencer^^

As for Carib culture I don't know if names of their leaders survived their extinction, maybe modern heroes from carribean could be taken like Bob Marley and Harry Belafonte...

Mexico could have (mexican 'Robin Hood') Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata.

Swiss culture could have Wilhelm Tell and Arnold von Winkelried as their heroes.

Sorry it took me so long to get round to this. Cultures currently lacking one or both heroes:

There are rather more of these than I realised! Anyway, if anyone has suggestiosn for any of them please post. I think Hydro is on top of the UUs (I know several of the above are recent additions, so represent a work-in-progress anyway)

I already know the ones that have no UU yet. I have been slowly planning those out. You can see them in the other thread or my signature.

Also the 20 newest cultures don't even have Wonders to build them yet. Its my least favorite part to do.

and Austrian could have another Arnold! I'll be back.

**These guys were awesome, totally won the war in papa new guinea vs japs coz of these dudes. They ferried supplies and acted as guides and pathfinders for australian troops. They would also carry injuried back to camp on stretchers. The thing was, the terrain was horrendously bad, mountainous/jungle. Japan invaded from the north and chased australian troops towards port moresby at the south with lots of fighting along the way

Japan had like 110,000 ground troops vs australia's 25k but by the time they go to port moresby it was like 30k vs 10k thanks to these dudes.
The lack of supplies/ammunition and how any small injury would become way worse in these conditions meant deaths caused by malaria, starvation etc outnumbered actual combat deaths 10 to 1! so you can see these guys were uber good.. it was just a matter of slowing down the japanese as they advanced, the longer it took the the more screwed they were.. They even cooked australian troops to eat when they killed them coz there were no supply lines etc.

@Sgtslick it is usual to edit your post if it is the last in a thread and add your new stuff in there rather than having 7 in a row. If your post as a day or so ago then it is OK to have a new post. Just a bit of etiquette.

@Sgtslick

Papuan already has the "Papuan Cannibals". And the Manchurian will have the "Manchurian Cavalry Archer" (I have not worked it all out yet).

In short leave the UU to me. Focus on the Heroes since I have no plans for them.

@DRJ and Sgtslick: Do you have any good graphics for those? They can just be graphics for a 'normal' unit, but I need some graphics otherwise nothing can be made.

With the amount of cultures and coming heroes I feel there are just a tad way too many. Each nation needs/wants a few to get the Achievements, a few for war, and a few for settling as GPs. There's a lot more than that available, although I suppose not all will be accessed in all games.
Anyway, having only 1 Hero per Culture would, in my opinion, suffice, and having those limited in which Achievements they can build (and when the various achievements can be built), just like they are limited in what GPs they can settle as.
It's not that it's too much, it's that it's too easy to get to, well, if actively attempting to get Cultures and their heroes anyway.

Cheers

Heroes are not even close to being done, it needs alot of balancing, and infact (hint hint) there will be villains also.

I just wondered if there were plans to include any more 'fictional' hero units (we have Lara Croft already but unless I am unaware of some others, she is a one-off), perhaps as an Alt-Timeline type thing. I have a few ideas floating around in my head but will only suggest them if there's a desire to have more fictional/Alt timeline heroes besides her!

There was talk of some. Check the indivial threads for more info. Ex. Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon for Atomicpunk.

Cool, I am never quite sure though where stuff belongs in terms of the alt-timelines thing, and tend to suggest things on the wrong thread All the recent kangaroo additions (subdued kangaroos, having them make kangaroo herd buildings in cities etc.) brings Tank Girl to mind every bloomin' time I play the game (with the associated "wouldn't that be so cool...." thought! And then that spins off into more ideas, etc. A Judge Dredd unit would also be pretty great IMO ), but I don't know which of the alt-timeline threads each of my suggestions would belong in.

Back in the day it was either Steampunk (Edwardian/Victorian Era alternative tech stuff) or Cyberpunk (Futuristic/Post-Apocalyptic) - much like the music industry it's been subdivided into so many genres I don't know whether I'm coming or going, is it grindcore or thrashcore, who flippin' knows!!!!

@SO: Do you have any specific cultures you would like me to make heroes for next?
