I'm glad you added the Rakatans. Make sure the name is "The Rakatan Infinite Empire."

I'm gonna get back on graphics work tonight. I also found a site to download some TIE fighter and Xwing models we could use. I have a little experience with CAD software, so I'm gonna download Blender and try to make them work for Civ4.

We really need a good model maker before we'll get any good units. Skinning can only do so much.

What models are you looking for? I know some people, and I might be able to pursade them to help. And I do a bit of that as well, so maybe I can come up with something.
Let me know.

We need models for all the units basically.
Civmansam - I sent you a PM.

Got some ideas for units and promotions.
Bounty Hunter unit
Movement - 1
Special Ability - Assassination (have a button on the interface like bombardment with cannons). Assassination is when the BH kills the governor of a planet and causes it to go into recession and chaos for a couple of turns.
Smuggler unit
Movement - 1
Special Ability - Smuggling Run. Smugglers smuggle illegal contraband to an alien planet and bring you back cold hard credits. Amount of credits depends on distance (just like Great Merchants).
Unit Categories
Civilian (non-combat) units - unchanged
Recon > Surveillance
Archery > renamed to Commando
Mounted > Landspeeder
Melee > unchanged or renamed to Vibroblade (Jedi are in this category)
Siege > unchanged
Naval > Starship
Gunpowder > Blaster
Armored > unchanged
Air > Starfighter
Helicopters > Gunships
Promotions
Combat 1-5, same effect as in basic Civ4.
Navicomputers 1&2, hyperdrive-equipped units can move 1 extra system per turn, like Navigation
Medic 1&2 get renamed to Bacta 1&2.
Planetary Defense 1-3, same effect as city garrison 1-3
Planetary Capture 1-3, same effect as City Raider 1-3
Sensors - same effect as Sentry in the basic Civ4.

hey everyone
looks like you guys are really moving along. i have nearly fnished the tech tree i will post it tonight. Is there much else that I can be of assistance with?
One thing that I thought would be fun to get people to research is the quotes for the technologies. Everyone has a favorite quote.
If I can start this off I submit for the Jedi Archives "if it's not in the archives; it doesn't exist"
for force agnostic "what do you think you are, some kind of Jedi? waving your hand around like that"
I'm not sure where these would go but they are some of my favorites:
"your focus determines your reality"
"never tell me the odds"
"Are you threatening me Master Jedi?"

Hey CivmanSam Great News!! I was searching the web and found some interesting 3D models for your MOD!! we can use and edit these Models but should and Have to give credit to its original creator. we can add the info in the Civilipedia of the unit of the original creator. i can also edit these units to your personal preference. well anyway tell me if you like here are the links:
3D Cafe Models Sci-Fi
Digital Animators Website of Futuristic Stuff
Digital Animators Models for 3D AirCrafts.
3D total Website
The Graphics on these sites seem very interesting, especially 3D total. check them out and give me some feedback. and remember we can edit to your preference and MUST give credit of the original creator. Enjoy
Edit: I found out the 3D Total Site does not take you to the exact directory of the link I wished to provide. You will have to go to the menu bar on top and find "free stuff" and click "Models" then you will find a list of categories, scroll through them and find the one stateing "Star Wars"

Woot!
I saw those models earlier today when I was playing around with Blender and reading a tutorial.
Civmansam - sent you a few PMs.
Edit: I just opened up Blender again and with the latest version you CAN import .3DS (3D studio max) files. I looked on sourceforge and there is a python script which will let me export them as .NIFs which is what the game uses! Hooray!

I just tried importing the TIE fighter model into Blender but it gave an error 
And I thought it would work.

Ill give it a try in Maya, i can flawlessly import 3Ds MAX models easily.

I just tried importing a different 3ds file but to no avail. Maybe the version of 3DSMax that created the file has something to do with it?
Edit: Just read that Maya PLE only lets you export into a special ****** file type, so I'm not gonna download it. In the mean time, I'm gonna keep playing around with Blender and make my own models. I'd rather make something than take what others have done anyway.
