It's ok. No hard feelings.
I sumtymes misspel stuff two :-D
Sorry, I missed the post ): Anyways, the Flic and unit_32.pxc files are still the same, the only difference I made, was to add the two pedia directoies and the look in the city build screen ( at least they worked on mine ).
I would like to alter the Flic file, but alas, I,m stupid. Can,t figure things out yet. But I also included the originals from which I based mine off of, so if you would like to give it a try, pls. do.

I have found that by checking the "Explore" checkbox in the AI section of the Units Editor, you can make the AI deploy the land mines rather than stock them up in a city.

I have discovered that giving this unit "submarine" ability will prevent enemies from noticing it. Add hidden nationality and once they do notice it (by stepping on it) they wont know who did it.
I installed 1.17 and rebuilt my bic adding all the units id collected.
The land mine I marked.
A:1 D:5 M:1
Submarine.
The computer actually dropped them behind my lines using an air transport and set them on my resources. Worse yet when I would use a go command my units would run into the mine and die.
Would have been alot more funny if i had remembered to mark some units with the ability to see submarines on land
.
Request for a WW2 Mine sweeper unit if someone has the time.
The mines are truely awesome.
Current technology for mine remove consists of a really big plow on the front of MA if someone wants to do that one as well.

I will begin work on a mine sweeper unit.
It needs the ability to "see submarines"
if we give the mine sweeper a high attack factor, the computer will use it as a weapon instead of using it to remove mines.
What I suggest is give it a high bombard strength so the bombard ability can be used to take out the mines ( or at least weaken them)
(attack 0, defend: 2? move : 2??)
any other ideas?

does anyone have a picture of a mine sweeper?
I have to dig through the kids playroom to see if I can find one of my sons army men.
Bombard would probably work as minesweepers typcially made a path through the mine field, weakening it, not destroying it.
Basicly a WW2 Minesweeper was just a guy, no gun, but a big metal detector. In WW2 mines were heavily antitank, Most mines now a days however are antipersonal and are set off by things like wrist watches and metal detectors. The modern solution is a plow on a tank. Do they go off? yes, does the tank care? No....

With regards ways of detecting mines:
1. For mine fileds you can use the Viper. This is a rocket that is fired across the mine field from a tank. It has attached to it an explosive line, like det cord, which explodes on impact on the ground. This destroys all mines within the lines corridor, and the width of the corridor enables at least 2 tanks abreast through.
2. Another method, which is being trialed at present is using a blimp ship and radar, I believe. It is currently being used in Kosovo, and has been highly effective.

Hello,
I need help with choosing the most efective settings for this unit.
I am currently creating a "realisticWorld" mod, and I am busy testing all the time. I would like to emplement this unit. However, it would be of great help to me if the knowledgable people would inform me as to the best stats (all the stats) to give it. This would save me SO very much time.
