questions for conquests

[BERT]

i would like to ask anyone out there for some help in creating. just a few questions.

i did this in a previous civ game but can't seem to find a way to do it in conquests. i would like to make a helicopter unit that can be loaded on a carrier with their units still inside the heli. transporting a foot unit transport. also in previous civs. i made a regular submarine be able to load and unload cruise missles. could anyone tell me how this is possible in conquests i can't find the right edits.

another question. i'm creating a new map , i would , if possible, like to incorporate the ninja unit from the scenarios into my game, is this possible? if so how? and can i then edit their attack defense and movement?

thank you for any help on this matter.

You cannot load any transporter (unit with transport capability > 0) into any other unit. Sorry.

Btw, what's up with these stupid and annoying brackets in thread titles nowadays?

thanks for the info. any ideas about importing the ninja unit into a newly created map? is it possible?

Very. . . . .

If you want the subs to transport cruise missiles make the subs transport foot units. I think cruise missiles are already foot units, but if not make them one. Down side is subs can then be used to transport any foot units. Unfortunately there is no 'transports only cruise missiles' Flag

Actually, there is a transport only tactical missiles flag, which can be applied to a sub, and a tactical missile flag, which could be applied to a cruise missile. This should give the desired result without allowing extra units onto the sub.

Really? My PC is broken at the moment so I have no access to civ, but hopefully can fix it soon. I thought that flag was 'Transports only tactical nukes' And if you made it a nuke then would change how the unit behaves. But that's great if I am wrong!

 

[Deth McBones]

Nope. It's a tactical missile flag. IIRC completely different from nukes.

 

[Virote_Considon]

Yeah, the tactical missile flag only effects transportation (and I think it allows bombarding directly from a transport, too), but it doesn't have any other "nuke" effects.

 

[nick0515]

so does 'transports only Tactical Missiles' mean a unit can transport nukes and cruise missiles or only cruise missiles? Ie can nukes have the Tac. Missile flag?

This is great news actually. Will make a big difference for my fantasy scenario. Lucky I read this post, and gave the wrong info.

It means it can transport whatever units have the "Tactical Missile" flag

 

[nick0515]

It means it can transport whatever units have the "Tactical Missile" flag

And giving Tactical Missile flag doesn't grey out the Nuke flag? This is getting better and better. Now I can do two things I wanted to do but thought weren't possible in my scenario.

 

[Virote_Considon]

Yeah, the "Tactical Missile" flag pretty much just works as another "Foot Unit" flag, although it can only be transported in transports flagged with "Transports Only Tactical Missile"
