Should I or shouldn't I create now a Grenaider...
See the problem is when you create a special unit, you cannot upgrade it.
Example: If I create a special Grenaider replacing the german infantry YOU CANNOT UPGRADE the Rifleman to "Grenaider".
So that means you are limited in upgrades.
The Knight unit in my game, cannot be upgraded to the Reiter That is why I changed my mind.
But then again....maybe will find some time to create it.

You can upgrade to unique units since v1.17. For example in the default civ3mod.bic, Knights are set to upgrade to Rider, Rider upgrades to Samurai, Samurai to War Elephant, War Elephant to Cavalry and Cavalry to Cossacks. Whenever a unit in the upgrade chain cannot be built by the given civ, it is skipped, so it is possible to upgrade Knights to Cossacks, and Riders (for example) to Cavalry.

So there shouldn't be any problems upgrading Knight to Reiter and Riflemen to Grenadiers in your mod if you are playing as Germans. So go on, make some Grenadiers!

Yes it is Grenadier, I checked on www.feldgrau.com

Have a nice day!

Doesn't that site just rock for info?? Answers lots questions!!!

Make the grenadier, the more units the better! And I'm sure a lot of people will use it from a German UU. You're talking 19th century unit, right? Definitely more of those are needed

Maybe the best German bomber could had been the Heinkel He-274, called the "Amerika bomber".But only were built 2 prototypes.

best German bomber = Ju 88

i'm surprised no one has made this for civ3 yet

I agree, the Ju-88 was a good bomber. it was faster than some fighters, and had a good bomb load (3000kg), but it was very underarmed.
Another good German bomber could have been the Messerschmitt Me-264. Only were built 3 prototypes. I attach some pictures of it...it looks like a B-29 Superfortess!!!
See this picture of it (texts in Spanish)

Maybe if we ask Pablostuka very, very nicely, he will consent to creating a Heinkel He 177 Greif for us sometime in the future.

Of course I consent, buddy .It doesn't matter. The problem is that I'm very busy with university, and I'll wait until summer(when I finish the exams), to work in all the units I'm doing. I have time to see the forum and post in it, but not for creating... .Sorry.

I completely understand Pablostuka. The He 177 is one of those ideas to keep in the back of your mind until you have the time and inclination to do it. The reason for suggesting the He 177 was give the Germans a heavy bomber to compete with TVA22's B-29 for the Americans. Your idea of using the Amerika Bomber is, in many ways, a better candidate for that purpose.

Why updating a knight? Just make sure the Germans are not able to make Cavalary but instead of that let them make a Reiter........and who cares you won't be able to upgrade a Knight.

Don't u guy's think we are missing tons of units? For example:

I have starded a game with 9 other nations. Many of us are operating from a Island. So If I want to attack an other country I need a massief invasion army that I can cross the sea. And when I do a landing at shore I need a militairy camp or somthing to support my army in enemy territory. See it like a mobile Barrack.

Think about it!

other Missing units/structures:

- air defence unit for schooting down enemy aircrafts in open field
- Oil platform in sea
- more tanks
- more infantry
- Spitfire
- enz

how about a Combat Support unit? (like in People's General)

What kind of function(s) would such a unit have? Would it would be something like the mobile HQ units in Talonsoft's Campaign Series?

well basically it was just a mobile (but slow) noncombat unit that that could allow troops to be resupplied and deployed away from their usual bases. kind of like a mobile supply depot, it should also be a mobile barracks in civ3 maybe? hm just ideas i'm spouting out here
