All,
I've been digging through the forums and google for answers to many of my questions on how to make custom Civ 3 content, but am unclear on a few points and am hoping someone can provide clarity.
Overall, I am seeking to build a traditional military style wargame within Civ 3, and thus am trying to add new units, graphics, and other mechanisms. A major aspect of this is converting the Civ unit icons on the map to being two dimensional sprites of NATO military wargame symbology.
First, is it possible to use two dimensional sprites as unit map icons?
Second, when we create new units and icons, does the game also require us to create custom animations for them or can the new units be devoid of animations. It is not a concern for me if the units "warp" around the map like when unit animations are turned off.
Thanks for any assistance, and I apologize if these questions are covered in another resource. It's a bit difficult finding detailed information on Civ 3.
