New Unit; Mobile Heavy Infantry

[Tacit_Exit]

Has anyone done some pediaicons for this unit?

If not, could someone pleese! (shady?)

This unit is the best thing for fixing the wrinkle caused by adding the Modern Infantry imo, but I hate adding units without pedia stuff.

i thought that Mobile Infantry was from the book/movie Starship Troopers

Absolutely fabulous, definitely going to use this one. However, wouldn't motorized infantry be a more fitting name? After all, isn't infantry mobile by its nature.

Edit: Drift takes another look at the date of the original post and feels a bit stupid.

I'm working on a small update to this unit, just a modified default and a slight change of colours for my scenario. Look out for it soon.

Just checking...this unit should be weaker than a tank, right?

xghost: Just checking...this unit should be weaker than a tank, right?

In my mod this unit is faster than the earliest tank unit (MKIV), bit weaker attack and much better defence. Then when tank upgrades to civ's tank mobile inf. is as fast, much weaker attack but still somewhat better defence. Then upgrades to mech inf.

Drift: However, wouldn't motorized infantry be a more fitting name?

I think you're right, Drift. Though mobile infantry is well-known concept I'm using motorized inf as well.

What means the red star?
Red Army only unit?
Even so good job

P.S.
And what are you talking about? Stalingrad was fallen long ago.

 

[Ukas]

That is civ specific color, if you're Egyptian it's yellow, if German it's blue... if Roman it's red! The Russians would have it brown.

I really love this unit, but the default anim wobbles a bit too much for my taste. Therefore I did my first ever unit editing and created a static default anim out of this one. Took a couple of tries to figure out Flicster, but eventually, I got there.

No need for a preview as it's just the unit facing into each direction - no animation at all. Hope all this is fine by SM.

Sorry tacit exit, just saw this post when i was lookin for a d/l for this (cuz the dam search is disabled)

2 1/2 months later i bring you this cuz SM is just plain lazy

and small things come in bigger packages when you don't have winRAR or winzip or something (gimme some money or a free link)

 

[Shady]

here's a preview (note when some of SM's previews are resized they look sort of crappy which is the case in this one)

 

[TRpwau]

does anyone know how to fix the ".INI" load error?

 

[Bjorn Bjornson]

@TRpwau: Just make sure that the .INI file is named the same as the folder the animations are in, and the same as the name of the unit in the .BIC

@Shady: Look for a program called Powerarchiver, I believe it's freeware, and it can deal with pretty much every compressed file format I've come across.

Yeah, and I will add, I do like this unit. Lol, somewhat late, considering I did download this when it was younger.

 

[SoCalian]

Hey this is awsome can I use it in my mod?

 

[TRpwau]

will this unit not load in a .bix file? all the unit files are of the same name and the pedia icons and civlopedia entries are in too.

 

[Bjorn Bjornson]

Sorry for veering off course, but what exactly is a .BIX file? If it's a PTW specific file, don't answer, just say it is.

 

[TRpwau]

bjorn bjornson,
.bix is the ptw map/scenario file. civ3 uses a .bic file. just curious if this is civ3 compatable only. i have tried nearly everything with a ptw scenario i am working on.

 

[Incubus0223]

Well i made the civilopedia icons a little bit better using adobe after having classes bout it, really helps improve my ability to make pictures better, not only does it have a shadow now, but its better detailed no offense Shady

well here you go

the large one
The small one
And the preview to prove what i was talkin bout
