New Unit: Tornado

[PlutonianEmpire]

Where can I find the tools needed to create civ3 units?

Hmmm, well, theres Blender, ask Dease or the Great Apple, they are using free programs to make units I believe.

First off, this really isn't the best place to ask but oh well, no harm done

If you want to make your own units from scratch then you'll need a 3D program, I'd reccomend OpenFX www.openfx.org, there is a tutorial by morpheus - http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=84833
you'll also need-
SBB - http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=42092 To make the storyboards from your renders
Pedit - http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads7/PEdit_Palette_Editor.zip For creating the palette for the unit
A paint program like PSP for applying the palette and possible postpro editing - www.jasc.com
Flictser - http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=10208 OR
CivFlcEDIT - http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=91253 To convert your storyboards to Civ 3 units(ATM, flicster is more stable but soon civflcedit WILL be the *better* utility)

I could go into a lot more detail right now but I'm not since it would most likely confuse you. If you do decide to get into unit making then you can get help in the ofx thread (if you decide to use ofx) or you could create a thread and I'd be willing to help you out there.

Here's links to others who I've helped, lots of good info in there

We really need something similar to what you just posted stikied somewhere - it's asked soooo many times.

I feel another sticky thread looming in the future.

great work
i'm looking foward to more natural hazards

How do you implement it as a unit?

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Well, I have it produced by "The Weather Control Machine" small wonder in my mod(Far Horizons), I tried using it as a natural disaster, but trust me, it doesn't work, since the only way to do this is to replace one of the barbarian units with it.

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

Here's an idea: "Day After Tomorrow Superstorm"!

 

[puglover]

By Jove I've got it! A Hilbillies vs. the Forces of Nature scenario!

I use it as an air elemental that is created by a smallwonder in my mod. Of course thats a fantasy mod.
