Since Civ3 is a symbolic game and not a "realistic"
such as Steel Panthers III I will not say you are
wrong and I am right.
The reason for me giving elite units exra hit points is that
for example during WW2 regular units taking 15% losses
were often (temporarily) knocked out as fighting units while
elite units taking 90% losses continued to fight.
Panzer Lehr were reduced from 13 000 men to 500 during
The Battle of the Bulge but was still a fighting unit.

No pb. My goal was just to give other players 2 point sof view, in case it could give them some interesting ideas to increase what they get from the game.

Another reason behind my choice to recude the HP is to have more variety in the units, and to avoid having super unit with bonus everywhere. So I try to balance some bonus with some malus.
 
I understand your point.

I am reworking rules and units every week and that`s
one great aspect of CIV3 - it`s not a puzzle-one solution
game.
Neither is life but that`s another matter.
 
Great unit Balou! Been waiting for this one for a while :)

Nah, the Firaxis animations are better. Just take a look at the various death animations, they are very lifelike. I don´t think I could do some of the animations on the same level (or it would take forever - remember, in the gaming industry they always work with a strict time limit). But thanks for the praise anyway.

I think your units are better than most of the Firaxis ones, too. You are just too modest :)
 
hey curt, ill be looking for you, thanks
 
HEY LENINGRADO!!!
 
That has to be the best foot-unit for Civ3. Thanks!
 
He's still working on it. It looks quite nice. And I have 2 piece of news.
- It's no longer a French Chasseur Alpin, although it's tell French.
- It's not "your next unit", but "your next units" as he's currently doing two at the same time
 
Very mysterious. :)

Any chance that French unit looks something like this?

Ok, here is a first preview of the unit:
paratrooper3.bmp

It´s a french paratrooper, although when I look at it now it could be also be from any other country, but it will definitely have a famas rifle.
The second unit Steph mentioned is a variation of it with an helmet in UN-colors (french "peace keeper").
I have no preview of this one as we still need to decide on the colors.
I also have a question there: Does anyone know the exact rgb-values of the UN color (I mean the blue color)?

As soon as I have some animations ready I will open a thread for the unit in the creation&customization forum.
 
Yes, of course he will. It´s only a small pack compared to the one from the spetsnaz unit.
Maybe I will delete it for the "peace keeper" because, as I understand it, those soldiers operate from a base somewhere and always return to it, so they don´t need to carry so much equipment along with them.
 
I like it, I like it a lot. Of course I don't think you'll find any dissenters here :). Good work as always...
 
But my understanding is that most troops would drop their packs before entering into actual combat. You don't want to be hauling anything around that is going to slow you down. So, while they would have to bring all that stuff with them because they are working behind enemy lines and do not have access to supplies, it might be cool if they didn't have all that gear when they start fighting. Just a thought, but probably not necessary.
