New Unit: Bond July 26, 2004

[Kinboat]

Middleburg... Snyder County... About 2 to 2 and a half hours north-east of Gettysburg. An hour directly north of Harrisburg.

he he he he.

here comes the kinboat stalkers!

@Kinboat: Cool, I've been there once or twice. I might stop by next time I'm home, if that's all right with you.

@Nameless: Not a good idea. I've got realatives all over that area, and all I have to do is tell them to be on the lookout for suspicious folks snoopin' around......

Anyways, here's a sound pack for the girl. I couldn't scare up anything for a victory sound, but it should be all right without one.

great unit kinboat

 

[Kal-el]

excellent! again, thank you!

I am not just chiming in to write great unit -- which it/they is/are -- but to pose a question about use. I have been using the Bond as an MI-6 Agent (England specific, requires Espionage) without Hidden Nationality and the woman as a Hidden Nationality unit (Russia, China, Persia, requires Espionage) to represent the Sean Connery-era female villian, not the Timothy Dalton-era ally. The AI builds as many of the woman as it can manage, but England has only built one MI-6 Agent in four games . Since Bond always announces who he is (and it is obvious he is British), I don't want to make him HN. Both have the same stats otherwise (woman cost more because of HN)...why would the AI prefer her so much?

You just answered your own question. It's the "hidden nationality" thing.

In one of the Films one of the girls was played by a Transsexual. Don't remember which one, though.

It amy have been a while, but did manage to dig this up:

Bond?

What's next? Schwarzenegger's Conan?

(not that I'm not giving an idea... )

 

[CrazyAce]

Using some sounds uploaded by Hikaro Takayama I was able to remake and add more sounds for all the versions of Bond.

I hope you all like the victory for the double agents.

007China = Single girl
007Bond = Single Bond
Bond = Both

-Edited: I dont get it dude this web site does not like me attaching anything... sigh

The sound files can be found here:

For the last time, will you stu- wait, what's this? Someone reviving an old post to add something usefull? Unbelievable! Thanks!
Edit: for the bond\girl combo victory, do you think you could find a couple-second clip of the bond theme?

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I just wanted to say what a wonderful job you have done.

I especially like the death graphic. He gets off one last shot before going down - defiant to the end.

I use him as a modern inquisitor, ferreting out invisible land units like the spy.

What are The Three Great Pleasures?

1. The wind at your back.
2. Crushing your enemies beneath you.
3. Hearing the lamentation of day-uh women.



This is just my way of bumping yet again a unit thread that deserves to be on page 1. Good work, Kinboat.

 

[Yoda Power]

FinnMcCool- unless you have something constructive to add, do not bump!

 

[FinnMcCool]

I have a great deal of respect for moderators but I question their zeal when a bump of merely 1 month raises their wrath... YodaPower is correct, to a point: meaningless blather makes for a bad bump, but a serious thumbs up and praise to a good unit-creator IS constructive.

And this bump will be, what... 5 months?

Sorry to raise a dead horse, but I'm searching deep for a special unit grafix. Got to page, like, um, 7 and found this thread.

Carry on...

 

[Kal-el]

rather than go through the whole unit forum you may want to check out the unit artist library.

[FinnMcCool]

Thanks, Kal-El, but I went through the whole unit forum after having already gone through the whole unit library. Thanks for the link though. It will likely be useful to anyone else reading this thread.

Both Kinboat and you have made some excellent units (Kin's Bond has already been plageurized into the shades-wearing "Bodyguard") but nowhere have I found anything like a longcoat-wearing Russian NKVD/KGB Operative. Not even a CIA Agent (though the Bond unit would work, if MI-5 isn't in your scenario already...)


(edit)
The unit "Private Dick" is rightly an American unit. Even the filename is named Bogart. I made a DESC_OSSoperative entry that smoked. You could smell the bourbon and gunpowder... like death... like killing... which I knew she'd done recently since she just came from the port of Marseilles in what she called a "just cause"...

I use the "Nurse_fixed" unit grfx for French_Resistor. Mmmm....

No, no, no!

Warmaster: What is best in life?

Conan:

To see zem driffen befoah you;
And to heah da lamentation of da vimin!
