Massive Request: WW1 units

[jamesjkirk]

There was also the Paris Gun, the Germans built it to fire at Paris of all things. I hear that when they first used it, the Parisians thought they were under aerial bombardment.

I never eard about that..

Why? What was so special about Serbian cavalry of the time? Serbian voulenteers, probably. Serbian assasins, sure why the hell not. But cavalry? The Serbs were never historically well known for their cavalry.

Serbia was pretty dangerous, I dont think you have read up alot on WW1.

Are you refereing to the Gross Bertha ? I think it was on railroad (because of its weight) so the Dora Gun graphics (in the unit forum) could make it maybe ?

Serbia lost 10.5% of its population during the war, it was the most "touched" country in the first WW (in percentage).

I know that they managed to hold back the Austrians for a long time, but I fail to see how this makes their cavalry the best UU.

I know the railgun was out of age but the Germans had railguns in the first one two. So glad to be on the site, internet was down all morning at the school during study hall and luchch, on break right now.

 

[Sarevok]

The kruppe was a railgun at first. and i never said serbian cavalry was the best, i just said it was dangerous.

 

[Sarevok]

is anyone by chance working on a sturmtruppe? its essential for this scenario.

 

[Sarevok]

are there people working on mods so that we canhave a good scenario?

 

[MarineCorps]

I'm stalled till tommorow as I have dial up for internet acsess and downloading a graphics program would take me 3 hours to do, tommorow I have acsess to a computer with faster internet connections and can download the program in 5 minutes, if I get the program and figure out how to use it expect a machine gun from me to appear soon after.

 

[Sarevok]

cool, you can make the same machine gun for each civ, just slith details to each. Such as making different helmets for each nation, otherwise the same.

 

[Sarevok]

I actually have aminor problem that needs to be fixed, so I think this scenario will come in December, not november.

 

[MarineCorps]

Fine with me. I have more problems then I want right now including the fact that the computer I'm using doesn't have a zip drive, so I have to hope my brother left his RW CD's behind otherwise I'll only be able to do it every other day, unless this computer has a graphic program besides imaging.
Edit: Yep gotta get a RW CD or find a computer with a zip drive which is impossible in my school. Tried it on 5 floppy disks but it couldn't get it all so I have to get a something with more memory

 

[Sarevok]

Sounds bad, but my plight is more involving civ 3 and my scenario rather than the modpack.

Just FYI: here's info on the Big Bertha:

And this is on the Paris Gun (which is different):

Good luck getting the machine guns done too! Are you using the ones that Troutline started?

 

[MarineCorps]

Yeah I'm using his, just gotta get it to a pcx file before I can do any work on it, I'm unable to work on it as I'm not using 3d modeing program, I'm doing it the cut'n'paste method.

 

[Sarevok]

I see

 

[MarineCorps]

I might have the unit done soon, no promises through. I have to resize it and all this other stuff before more work can be done.

 

[Sarevok]

I still need to figure mods out. would some1 be kind enough to tell me how modpacks work?
