[Rambuchan]

[Storm Grunt]

[Spacer One]

Thank you kindly Storm...

@Ramb...I thought the same thing(thus my new entry)...looks like this is "step it up" month...your Icon is pretty sweet, I wouldnt worry to much if I were you...

 

[BadKharma]

Sorry had to do some shuffling here they are

 

[Storm Grunt]

Badkharma- your in and your preview is now posted..

 

[BadKharma]

Thanks stormgrunt

 

[Spacer One]

nice icon, nice gap filled in the tech tree...good work BK

 

[BadKharma]

Thanks Spacer one..........there are more holes than you really think about until you decide to make a mod.

 

[Storm Grunt]

Thats very good for from scratch BK.

Lots of great entries this month, anyone else want to throw their hat into the ring?

 

[Kyriakos]

What do you think of my entry? (i wont brag for it since i know that it didnt take time to make, but i think that it looks cool)

 

[Storm Grunt]

Yes V yours looks good as well. Its from scratch too right? what program did you use?

 

[Kyriakos]

It wasnt at all made from scratch
I used Google Sketchup, and those cars in the pic were already made models that the model library of that program has, so i just had to place them next to each other, and so i wouldnt be displeased if my icon lost since it didnt take much time to make

 

[Rambuchan]

Having had another look at the entries I have to say it's been a damn good month (so far). I'm going to be using quite a few of these, thanks guys!

Oh I'm only worrying for dramatic and comic effect.

Hope I'm not too late.

Here is my contribution, a Sub-Machine Gun tech.

 

[Civinator]

O.k. Before I start in the holidays, here is the techchooser that replaces the old gunpowder icon in my mod. It is the bombarde "Tolle Grethe von Gent". The icons and the dll were moved to my thread "techchoosers". You can find them now here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=163762

 

[Storm Grunt]

@ Luddi VII - Your not late,ya still had a couple of days to spare. You're in and posted to the preview post. Nice entry BTW. Did you make that with a 3d program?

@Civinator - Your entry has been accepted but I found out there is a 12 image per post limit so I couldn't put it in the preview post, sorry.
Good looking Icon. What is the wooden structure on top of the gun frame for?

The competition has definitely grown over last month, great Tech submissions by all

@Civinator - Your entry has been accepted but I found out there is a 12 image per post limit so I couldn't put it in the preview post, sorry.

Accepted. Now I have a good excuse, if I don´t win

Good looking Icon. What is the wooden structure on top of the gun frame for?:

This wooden structure is more delicate than the big old gun itself. It´s a moveable "wooden entrenchement" based on an axle above the bombarde and positioned by chains at the 4 corners of that entrenchement. If the two chains at the front of the entrenchement are tied down, the bombard is protected from arrows and muskets while preparing to fire. If the two chains at the end of the wodden entrenchement are tied down, the entrenchement rises and the bombard can fire. I quickly tried to make a picture about the mechanism.

The picture about the mechanism was moved to my thread "techchoosers". You can find it now here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=163762

 

[Lord Malbeth]

OK before the contest ends I want to enter my techs.

They are modified pictures that I used in My Body Scenario (See my Signature).

I hope I'm not too late!

I posted a preview; Germs to the left, Cells to the right. (They're not together in the game, that's just the preview )

 

[Storm Grunt]

@ Civinator - Thank you for the excellent description of that contraption.

@ Lord Malbeth your Entries are in. Sorry I didn't reserve a second preview post spot and have exceeded my limit. I'll make sure to reserve two for the jury thread. ( so no excuses civinator.... )

Thanks. The picture was one I found by searching on google. I think it's from a computer-game.

EDIT: Finally my 1000th post!
