Yes I have played games with it in 1.21, and I used the new editor lethal sea bombardment for all units with bombard.

sooo... any comments, suggestions, anything?

has anyone even downloaded it?

 

[AceDragon]

Yes. I'll give it a whirl after I finish up my homework. You have made some interesting changes, and I look forward to seeing how it works.

Cheers!

Finally a Mod that stops the fearsome spearmen from stopping modern Armor!! I like your mod! big improvement. however, all bombard units should have lethal bomb against everything. think for a minute. if an artillery shell hits a man, what will happen? He'll die, of course. or if a bomber drops a load on a man, what will happen? *SPLAT* so why doesnt that apply to civ3?

I agree all atrillery and bombardment units should have lethal bombard againts everything.......if you pound an infantry unit enough with artillery it does cease to exist if not by the fact u killed them all then by the fact that they aren't gonna take that forever you know....in the real word units do get routed..

i disagree with your choice to improve the longbowmens attack....they're pretty weak if not fortified behind a nice wall in real life.......you could give a a bombard range of zero and that would do even better than wut u did. then get used as they where in real life......with other units.

A few suggestions of my own (w/ the help of some very thought provokeing questions from others)

*Shouldn't knight have a 1 or 2 defense rating......they where only good for attacks on defense they can't scare you by riding you down and they have to dismount to fight

*War elephants ar practically useless on the defense....in real life they got squashed over and over again in battle cause they are to timid and too easily made to go wild killing friendlys.

*Pikes where just as good on the attack as they where on the defense........only walls could stop them most times

*theres several others but i cant remember them right now and don't want to rant

Now that 1.29 is released, I am testing what will probably be the final version of this mod, and I will post it as soon as it is ready.
