If Armies why not Fleets Air Wings ?

[wilhelmsteel]

See I told you I wasn't so smart. Please see my request in CIV II meant for CIVIII forum.

If we have ARMIES perhaps some of you brighter fanatics out there could post a MOD to create Fleets and Air Wings. I'd love to have a carrier group or bomber group to impose my will on the EVIL AI. !!

Because Army is only created by a Greate Leader and a GL is only created when an elite unit win a war. Therefore, it is not possible to have Air Wing as Air Unit is mainly use for Air Superiority and Bombardment and an Army cannot bombard

As to Sea Battle Group, I think thats possible. All you need to do is create another Leader unit which is a sea unit and also make it created by battle (technically that should work). However, it is still not possible to create Carrier Battle Group as any unit that is a transport type (ie. can carry another unit) cannot be loaded into an Army. This is basically due to the game mechanic that any unit loaded into an Army lost their special ability.

I was wondering about this as well.

It would be great to have a Naval Destroyer fleet...to hunt down the submarine wolfpacks....


that would be a cool mod...


The only great Naval leaders I can think of are either Americans or Pirates....not sure if there were any great Aztec Navel commanders...

Thanks,
Lord Nelson, comes to mind. Can't remember the German Admiral that ran the wolfpacks, then the Japanese that defeated the Russians,.
Maybe not the Swiss.

But yes I'd like such a MOD. too. But I am not making any DEMANDS on you MOD makers. I have sent off an email suggesting such updates to Sid Meirs. If'n he replys I'll post it.

In the meantime I'll just have to conduct my air and naval campaighns the hard way.

Fight on,

Come to think of it I wouldn't mind being able to conduct a strategic air campaighn like in Alpha Centauri where you can automate Bombing of cities.

It would be neat if we could set up an "Air Force", then we could have the Black Sheep Squadron, people could setup a squadron of Kami-Kazi...I think this could be based off the ICBM/Cruise missle, but with the ability to sink Aircraft Carriers.


As for naval Leaders...

John Paul Jones....not the guy from Led Zepplin
Blackbeard...
Admiral Nimitz
Layfayette (I probably spelled it wrong...)

That would be cool...

I could maybe think of two more Wilhelmsteel and First Noel
