I have been trying to configure Civ3 Air Units to use them like Civ2 Air Units, but I have run into some problems.


What I have done:

-Removed the Immobile ability (So they can move like regular ones).

-Removed the Rebase action (this was because I didn't lilke the units just teleported from air field to air field, I have them fly to them).

Drawbacks:

-Air Units' movements are subject to Terrain, Roads & Rail Road, altho they are set as "Air" realm. (don't know how to solve that)

-Air Units are instantly destroyed by ANY ground unit attack. (an Archer kills an F-15 instantly...LOL).

-AI doesn't seem to use or move the Air Units like other units. (I am guessing it's because the "Air" realm does not allow for an AI strategy of Offense or Defense.)

The Air Unit models look really cool when used like Civ2 ones, and I'd really appreciate some input from anyone who has figured out a way to use them in this way.:D
 
All I can say is, this should be in a different forum: 'Creation & Customization' :)

Personally I like the Civ3 system better, for the concept, though in its current forms I'm not happy with it. Fighters suck (wish they could escort and dog-fight), and I've only seen the AI use bombers against tile improvements and ships. And that Stealth Fighter - Stealth Bomber distinction seems so pointless!

You're the one who is flaming.
 
gringo, I meant no offence; far from it.

FYI, I noticed some threads in 'Tutorials, Reference, & Guides' which deal with making air-units more Civ2-like.

What's WTH anyway?
