submarine

[Satyri]

I'v waited for a submarine screenshot for a while ( i love submarines ) and now i need some confirmation. is it a submarine in this screenshot (left bottom corner)?

Thats gotta be a sub!


Welcome to CivFanatics

It's a pity that they took the tactical nukes away. I loved to put a tactical warhead in one of my subs and sneak to the waters of unsuspecting enemy!

 

[Undertaker798]

BOOOOOM!

Hehe, watch em die, slowly and painfully.

 

[Lord Shadow]

Indeed, it's the normal, non-nuclear submarine. There's the stern of another one in the center-right part of the screen, where the borders end.

Yeah that sure looks like a sub. It's definitely a military unit because there's the orange flag next to it, and no other work boat has an orange flag. Good eye!

It's so difficult to incorprate subs correctly in civ... I wonder how they work now in civ 4... ONLY ONE WEEK LEFT TO FIND OUT!!!

Looks funny underneath a fishing boat with a sail. I hope we are not really stuck with lots of these anachronisms.

Yeah! This really pisses me of! Me and my mate really like cold war games, with balance of terror via Nuclear missiles, and nuclear submarines. Nuclear subs should be your safety of having strength to retaliate, even if your cities and ICBM's at home where destroyed in a nuclear attack! I just can't understand why they can't implement this? It's so easy, and it gives so much extra to the game.... This is one of the few things I'm really missing!!!!

Once the game is out we can try and make a tactial nuke sub mod

 

[Philips beard]

Yeah, but I'm tired of obvious things needed to be modified! This should have been one of the most obvious features of them all! I'm so disappointed, I almost want to die.....

 

[Ozymandous]

Maybe it was me but since units can now occupy the same square it seemd another ship (cruiser?) was sitting on top of what seemd to be the sillouette of a modern sub.

Old school sub's look distinctly differnt than the new if you go back to WW2 vs. now.

Very true. I did the same with nuclear subs off my enemies coast as a backup plan, and also it gave you the option of some nuke fun before you could build ICBM's (and the cost difference betwen the two leading to some tactical choices). No idea why they would remove this....

If you love sub warfare, have a look at El Justo's Cold War scenario. Ton's and ton's of subs, with all generations of nuclear and conventional subs.

Will keep you going until Civ IV is released, and someone mod's in SSBN's.

Thanks for the advice! I will pay it a visit!

But I still can't understand why Firaxis is ruining the modern age, instead of improving it as they should! This is not the only exmple!

When i first saw tht screenie i also noticed the sub, but didn't want to make a thread incase i made a fool fo myself, but now my question is solved.

 

[dirtyparrot]

That's a really nice screenshot. I like it how the sub is camouflaged under the ship. gives it a sneaky look

Hmmm... That submarine is under a sail ship. The flag has only one dot on it, which indicates only one unit. Does this mean that your submarine can be in the same square as another civ's ship?

Could be because the game is about growing and creating a civ over the whole span of time instead of a cold war sim.

Hopefully the game will truly be highly moddable so everyone can tailor it to their tastes.

The boat above the sub is a fishing boat, which is a water improvement. It's like Irrigation or Mines on land, except it's a fishing boat on the water.

That's why the sub is underneath the boat.
