Q about using the xtra units slots

[GringoDiablo]

I am wondering how to use the extra 'hero' units slots.

Shown here as the shaded slots along the bottom, Test1 - Test8.

Simple. You just paste in the new unit graphics, and alter the rules.txt accordingly (the slots named customx and extrax), assign their pre-requisite techs and other variables (as explained in the rules.txt). And there you go.

Do you have Civ II MGE if so go to edt units and follow the units to you reach the bottom then when you get to test unit 1 you can edit what unit you want for it.they even give you 3 extra land sea and air unit space before the test units

If you are referring to Gringo's pic - that the Kobayashi version.

I used the rules and units files and added more units ... doesnt work ... I only can use the three extra units slots, past that they are not available for production.

The 8 test slots are only available with MGE. But you can upgrade your classic version to MGE using Cedric Greenes patch (found in the dl section).

Not true, you can use them under FW - I always use them.

I downloaded Cedric Greene's MGE patch ... thanks!! My extra units work now!
