What you want is the "Adding objects from other units" in the first one. What I do is create the hull and turrets separate, and add the turrets to the gun bones as you would that sword in the tutorial.

The crew of the Dunkerque says...

"Fix the guns on our ship, or we'll scuttle our vessel!"

in the mod for the next update
really waiting for s300 !!!!

Yeah, I can give that a go, but I have found that I am really not a Vehicle person (Remember that Topol M I did? I shudder at it still).
Maybe we can find someone who will actually make it look ok.

GeneralMatt,

Thx for the unit !!! Really well made.
I have an important question: can i use it in Warlords and BtS ? or is it only for BtS ?

About the Dunkerque class:
These two ships (Dunkerque and Strasbourg) were built only to hunt the new "pocket battleships". In France, they are known as "Fast Battlecruiser", whereas in UK they are known as "Fast Battleships". It's not important IMO. What is important is that their speed (31 knots) was high for such a capital ship before the built of the more modern BBs (US Iowa class for example).

The "real" French BB were these ships: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_battleship_Richelieu_(1939)
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_battleship_Jean_Bart_(1940)

French navy also used old ships dating back to the WW1.

It is just the art, so you could use it in Sid Meier Pirates! if you want. (Take a bit of work, but it is feasible!) So yes, Vanilla, Warlords, BTS...

Anyways, thanks for the links. I had a choice to do the Richelieu or this, chose this because I have a thing for BC's see.


Glad to be of help Coyote

Thanks RPG.
