Rhye's of Civilization - the fastest loading mod Expanded

[Jean_ni]

Hi everybody.

I was just wondering... Is it possible to keep the palace view in your mod? Or in any other mod as a matter of fact...

I know it's a bit childish.

And I was wondering... Does anybody here use Hussar? Since they can't be upgraded to and from and you get cavalry fairly quickly after military tradition, I've never found how to use them effectively. Something similar can be said for Helicopter. Did someone ever got a use for them?

Just to say that your mod made me play a bit too much CIVIII, well more than I should anyway.

Keep up the good job.

I'd like the Hussar integrated into the Horseman-chain too.

Hi everybody.

I use them a lot and i don't use the Cavalry. Even if your unit is not unpgradable, in my opinion, with the combat system, every unit are usefull during war time... Espacially the Hussar. I've seen a lot of time barbarian killing unit like Guerilla or Marine... i know it doesn't make any sense but it's like that. The combat system is bad and the best we can do is trying to use this bad combat system in our advantage.
For the Hussar, the advantage is that you can attack more then one time in the turn and go faster than the Cavalry. It's always usefull and even if you don't use them, keep it to protect your city. You never know when you will need them.

Is it just me or have you changed Napoleon's hair? Looks better.

 

[ibcoltscrew]

I've try your new update and it's well done in my opinion.
I play emperor level with Germany and i really like the new french setting... I'm no more affraid of them they are not annoyed to me and are very peacefull... maybe that's because they are weak now LOL . good work.

BTW, i'm taking a little break of Poser cause i need it. I need to know how i can add static cloth like you says in Poser 5.

Yes i hae change the hair. I'm happy to see you like it

Hello Jean ni (another quebecois!)
The main reason for there's no hussar to cavalry upgrade is that both have aspects in which they're better than the other. So, one could desire to keep blitz ability and stick with "light cavalry". In fact, hussars and cavalry coexisted during that time. Anyway I've seen AI using it often (never seen helicopters instead)

Ah, the palace. Well, I haven't touched anything. But I guess it's missing for the same reason of the city aerial view (which caused bugs and was removed for all the mods)

 

[Rhye]

ibcolts, why don't you just paste the cloth in the background, and then animated the head-only model? The only thing you need to fix would be the neck

Good idea, i will try it but i really really need a break My head hurt when i open Poser now
I have to rule the world for the next two day with the German and your new update... I wanna have fun..
Saturday, i will work again on the leaderhead... now i wanna play

 

[ibcoltscrew]

I would like to know if your mod is available for online play and if YES, i would like to know if you guys want to play against the AI online

 

[Jean_ni]

I have no problems with the hussar nor with the cavalry. I've also noticed the blitz ability. I was mostly pointing the fact that you can get a lot of cavalry units from your outdated knights, camel riders and elephant archers while you have to build your hussar from nothing. And then, you're stuck with them. I just thought it a bit strange. That's all.

Regarding helis, have you considered making them transport unit with move points (i.e.: No immobile flag). They could transport troops rapidly to hard to reach locations. And maybe provide supporting fire. Something more like a Mi-24 Hind or a Huey UH1 Iroquois.

 

[Rhye]

for online play there's the random map with 4 or 8 players. It would be an interesting experience....

jean -> you will be stuck with cavalry, too
regarding helis, I have no strong opinion on that. I leave comments to someone who has played more than me

 

[ibcoltscrew]

There is my new Napoleon. Thanks Rhye for the Idea
Now i'm gonna play for two days... I hope

 

[Anarki]

Hey, that looks more like him! He could do with looking a little less goofier though. I think it's something to do with his mouth and his chin being slightly too large.

 

[ibcoltscrew]

I think you should make the Heli for transport and give it an attack like the Guerilla. Cause like that, it's not very usefull... Better to build an airport and use the paratrooper. The Heli in my opinion have nothing good in the game.

I'm trying to keep a balance between the three picture i have. That's why he's looking like that. He's very different on the three pics i have and i had to choose one... so i decide to use the three and make something that look like him. I'll see if i can do something about the mouth and the head this week-end, but i think for now he's pretty cool

 

[Anarki]

Yar. Good work. You deserve a break.

 

[ibcoltscrew]

Thanks.

If anyone would like to play Online, let US know ok... cause i think it could be very interesting to play with real people

 

[Rhye]

yes maybe there's something to change (chin, eyes, hair). However I'm glad the solution I proposed worked (the cloths)

I still prefer this one:

 

[Anarki]

Yes, Lips, Nose and chin look better there. If you added Hair and made his eyes less, urr... Tall... and changed the Eyebrows, it would just like him. Then rotate him so he's looking at the Camera and add Cloths and Backgrounds and stuff and move the Camera backwards a bit. I don't even know how Poser works, but this obviously what you need to do. As I'm sure you know.
