Moderator Question: Is this C3C conversion allowed ?

[W.i.n.t.e.r]

Hi guys,

I never liked the fact that the Civ3 infantry development was from a WWI infantry to the Mech Infantry- I later added the Grunt and the Stormtrooper to complement the in-game "Marines" unit and this was fine... for a time.

Now, with Balou's Modern Infantry and even the new C3C "TOW" I felt something was missing anew: I exchanged the "Modern Paratrooper" with the WWII one and had both a new, cool Para and TOW that complemented one another- but no modern version of the Marine: So I cut out the Gunner from the TOW and added a weapon and made an attack anim- voilá!



... the only question left 2 B answered at this stage is: am I actually allowed to post it in a forum ??? I doubt this would compromise the publication limits, but perhaps somebody here could give me a more concise advise?

Here is a gif-preview of run and default:

A good question W.i.n.t.e.r.

I too would like to post some PTW & C3C adapted units, such as mounting the the Gallic Swordsman on a horse to make a "Gallic Horseman", changing Gandhi's head and giving him a sling to make a "Baleric Slinger", and using the horse protection from the C3C three manned chariot in order to make a Persian heavy four hosed "Scythe Chariot".

The question is, as W.i.n.t.e.r said, can we post 'em?

 

[W.i.n.t.e.r]

Hey, new Avatar ???

Well that is a lot U have planned there- my advice: start with Gandhi since he ought to have come with PTW

I think it is allowed for PtW not Conquests.

 

[W.i.n.t.e.r]

Hmm, maybe- it would be interesting to be told by a mod just how far the infringement of the franchise goes... I mean: this unit does not resemble the one which it was taken from and couldn't be used as such... it also isn't a ripp-copy of it either but has been/will be slightly modified (not really visible here that much- the attack anim is entirely custom, though)

IIRC Padma said that someone from Firaxis said it was ok, Maybe you could PM Padma.

 

[Colonel Kraken]

The comment from Firaxis was that it was ok for the PtW extras pack. I'm not sure if they meant PtW extras pack "ONLY".

 

[Yoda Power]

Firaxis said ONLY the unit that IS NOT included in C3C is. The Gallic swordsman or TOW is included so he cant be posted, I assume.

 

[Padma]

My understanding is that ONLY the PTW extras pack was "available". Anything used in C3C (including the "core" PTW units) is not released for mod use.

Sorry.

So thats the winter/europe terrain and dino units only?

You forgot the ww2 units that are not in the Pacific scenario, but otherwise, yes.

 

[Kal-el]

I think somebody needs to contact Firaxis and get the word directly from the horses mouth. I would like to convert the musketman and get rid of that stinking feather, but am not going to bother if I can't include it in a release.

 

[Padma]

Kal-el, if you want it from "the horse's mouth", try here.

(Mike B. responding to a PM about it.)

 

[Kal-el]

thanks, Padma. I knew the extras were cleared, but what I want to know is if the other units, such as the napoleonic musketman, can be edited and released.

I have contacted Jesse Smith, so hopefully we will get an answer to this.

I do agree about the "feather". It looks really weird and absolutely not historical, really wonder...

 

[Padma]

I understand, now, Kal-el.

Please post whatever answer you get!

 

[Kal-el]

don't worry, I will.

Modders:

Our stance with this issue is the same as it was with PTW. The extras units are a unique case since we had hoped to include them on the Conquests CD but did not have the room. If the modded units you create are unique and very, very different, good. If they resemble one of the C3C new units (Conquest-specific or otherwise), please don't.

Thanks Padme for the clear statement regarding our stance on moddifying C3C units.
