Moskva Helo Carrier (09-20-06)

[I_batman]

I like McDonald's better!

Seriously though, I have to figure out a way to add this unit into El Justo's TCW scenario. It will be a perfect addition to the Soviet Navy and possibly a great way to counter the UK/US hegemony over carrier warfare!

Ving'r'Joe has already nailed down the mechanics of using the unit, now it is just a case of importing the graphics.

I have added it to my naval sandbox.
Enclosed is a screenshot.

Looking good there I_batman

I understand what he meant about integrating into the game. My question basically would be how much in shields would this thing cost?

Well, we should probably be carrying on this conversation in another thread, but you should know Moff.
You are going to have the chance of building them in the PBEM, since they are already in the OOB.
They had the displacment of approx the Baltimore class heavy cruiser, and the first of the two in the class built sailed out of the Black Sea in 1967. They were built primarily for ASW duty, but were not particulary good at it, according to the reports on the various web sites.

i think that'd depend Moff on what type of map is being used. for TCW, i'd venture to say that this hog would cost a pretty penny. i'd guess and say somewhere in the 700-900 range. i'd have to have the editor open in front of me though to give a more finite estimate.

however - iirc - the moskva is already in the game. therefore, 'alls you'd need to do would be to swap out the placeholder gfx for these new sweet ones

 

[vingrjoe]

El Justo and I_batman are correct, the Moskva is already in TCW. It has the stock Firaxis carrier gfx as a placeholder. Just go in and paste in the new files.

 

[Moff Jerjerrod]

Sweet! I didn't know that as I have never been able to get my rig to play TCW past 1973!

Thanks gents, I'll check out the biq file soon.

 

[Goldflash]

I wish I had one to sail to my new jorb at Panera.

Awesome unit. The idea to carry the asw helos is great. I've always wanted to be able to carry speciific helos and not also heavy bombers.

Can you make a greener version of the ship?

Awesome unit!...

Yeah, lemme just set aside another week to make it suit your tastes..NOT !

If you had any idea of the amount of time that goes into my units, or most fan-made Civ3 units for that matter, you may not be so quick to make such foolish requests.

As I pointed out to another individual, this is not Burger King and you do not get units made your way, especially after the unit has already been released ! The time for input is when any WIP threads are made about an upcoming unit.

A unit I make may have as little as four animations and as many as seven, including eight directions for each animation. For each animation, I render up to nine different layers, to achieve a high clarity for the unit, and also to keep anomolies to a minimum.

With that information, do you still think you should ask me to go through the process all over again for the same unit because you want it another color ?

 

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

Can you make a greener version of the ship?

Awesome unit!...

They get the XXL Menu and then complain they would have wanted their own particular sauce with it. Some people, sheesh.

Vingrjoe and Wyrmshadow have much in common, have they not?

 

[aaglo]

Or why don't you, WerBack3, recolour the unit yourself with Photoshop? Or Paintshop Pro?

 

[NavyDawg]

Why green? I've never heard of a green ship. Don't think it would blend in too well with the ocean.

 

[aaglo]

How about Green River

Trust me, I have tried to be patient and hold my tongue, but lately it seems there has been an influx of people who don't feel these FREE units are good enough for their tastes. I don't mind constructive critism with some sort of solution suggested, but when I have people -who have never contributed work to this community, or they produce substandard quality work- throwing out ill thought out requests or stupid comments about my units, I get a little miffed.

Yes, I probably have been reading too many of Wyrmshadow's posts, but I understand and share his frustration with these people that don't think before posting.

LOL...that sums it up.

"Anything else? I mean, would you like me to move the hotel a little to the left?"
"Basil!"

"Is this a piece of your brain?"
Love Faulty Towers.

The only thing prescription for dumb requests is to either A) stop posting or B) start ignoring.

Soooo... If you've written something in one of my threads and I don't notice you're alive... now you know why. Otherwise you'll get an annurism just keeping up with replying to ******** poeple and getting penalized by the moderators for it.

I personally like ALL of VJ's units. He adds a different flavor. They are not like my ships, just different. The only complaint I would raise is he remakes them more often that I remake my own.... limiting the overall variety of units. But he already knows this.
