Ideas for Unique Units and Buildings.

[DVS]

Don't worry pal, we won't change the civ list on you again!

A lot of things have to get changed when that happens, so no one wants it. We just had to make a couple final tweaks, due to the increased understanding of the map we gained when Genghis Kai started working with us.

 

[Joecoolyo]

Ok, sorry I haven't been able to do a lot lately been really busy with school. But here's Chile's, the South American Allies', and Philippines' UB.

Some problems:
Chile's UB, I didn't know how to make it so it got 50% more gold with copper, right now it only has 50% more gold.

In general, there are a lot of UB's that seem way over my skill level, and I won't be able to do, for example, U.S.A.'s, Colombia's, etc. I'm going to need some help from a more experienced XML modder.

 

[DVS]

That's great joecoolyo, and don't apologize for being busy! You are doing a great job, no one will think otherwise based on you not being able to work constantly.

As for edits that you're not sure how to make, just do what you can. Would you mind keeping track of the modifications that you don't know how to do? When all the buildings you can make are done, I will go over it and fill in the blanks. I'll also be happy to make a list of where each of those changes has to be made, in case you would like to read it to develop your modding skills even further.

 

[Joecoolyo]

Thanks DVS, for now, when I get the chance, I will just mod the UB's that I know that I can do, while leaving the one's I can't. And every time I add a UB I will just delete it from the post at the top of the page, so you can see which ones need to be done.

 

[DVS]

Great, that works.

 

[Adhesive86]

Great, that works.

For the failed states' UB:

You call 'rebel training camp'

I would just call 'military training camp'

Not all failed states are rebels, but rather failed dictatorships often themselves fighting rebels. The presence of rebels/unrest may symptomise a failed state but that doesn't mean that the government produces rebels e.g. Zimbabwe.

I would therefore recommend using the generic term 'military training camp'.

You should change pindad panser name to anoa panser.
Anoa, is the panser official name.Pindad is the manufacturer

Finaland:

UU:

Jaeger (replaces Infantry)

22STR
Starts with woodsman I
+25 vs Gunpowder units


UB
Sauna (replaces aqueduct)
+3 happiness +3health

 

[ianinsane]

Sorry, TheViPer, we don't have no Finnish civ. Finland will be part of our EU civ.

 

[Eirik Blodøks]

I failed to find any unique units and buildings for the nordic civilization. Do we have any?

I noticed Norway has no UU, so i would recommend this one:
FSK Jæger
+ 25% Defence on Hills
+ 25% Defence in Forest

Both those bonuses because the terrain in Norway, Forests and Hills mostly.
As you see this country is perfectly fit in defending themself as a guerilla, but have no extra attack power, somthing that fits pretty well in Norway's actual situation.
Also this special units should have a higher building cost, as Norway is limited on people, who means a smaller army.
Here is a link to the unit infos:
Forsvarets Spesialkommando

veBear

I'd say the FSK is more suited for special operations. But adding elite forces like FSK,MJK or HJK to the nordic civilization is quite a good idea. Perhaps they could replace Marine, adding, say, +50% attack vs gunpowder and +50% attack vs armoured, but with a doubled production cost? Eventually, we could replace infantry by Home Guard, which is perfectly suited for guerilla warfare, giving them the +25% defence on hills and forest as veBear suggested. As for the unique building, perhaps replace bank by stock exchange or something, to better reflect the economical situation in Norway, Denmark and Iceland.

 

[ianinsane]

I think Home Guard sounds great! And the bonus suggested is perfect.

I'm confused on the final UU list and the final civ list. Can anyone help me?

 

[sheep21]

I'm confused on the final UU list and the final civ list. Can anyone help me?

im having a hard enough time doing the militaries in the excell database! No ideda abut UU and UB lists, I wasnt that involved.

Good luck mate.

 

[Joecoolyo]

I'm confused on the final UU list and the final civ list. Can anyone help me?

I'd just stick with the one on the first page of this thread, and if that isn't it then just ask DVS or something... I don't think it has changed though.

 

[Joecoolyo]

Ok, I finished all that I can with my limited XML knowledge. I got, Belarus', Ukraine's, Palestine's, Syria's, India's, North Korea's, South Korea's, Myanmar's, and Thailand's UB all in. All the other UBs (refer to my list in post 301), I either have no clue how to do (i.e. Nigeria's is very hard) or don't know how they got on there (since when did we ever have Bangladesh as a civ ), so I need some help from a more advanced XML modder.

(Oh, and sorry, my computer won't let me create a regular zip file for the files for some reason, since I have a trial version of WinRAR installed (I needed it to download some mods)).

 

[NikNaks]

Awesome. I should get you on the SVN so you can upload things yourself. Do you have any experience with SVN?

Also, try 7-Zip. It can open (and compress IIRC) RAR files, and it's completely free and awesome.

 

[Joecoolyo]

I've heard of SVN, but I've never used it before. Oh, and I'll download 7-zip immediately

[Eirik Blodøks]

I have yet to see a unique building for the nordic civilization. I think it should replace harbour or lighthouse and give a great commerce boost, as fish exports is a very important part of Norwegian and Icelandic economy - Norway is the next greatest fish exporter in the world, next to China, and in Iceland, fishing provides nearly 40 % of export earnings.

Do anyone have a good suggestion for a name?

 

[Joecoolyo]

I don't think we're going to have a nordic civilization, its just another park of the EU. The civs are finalized, us XMLers can't take anymore UU's or UB's its too much!
