[Level]

This will be my last unit for a while.

If anyone has better sounds (using the Helicopter's) please post them.

I lost the animated GIF I had and can't make a new one.

That reminds me of the Orca from Command and Conquer.

*wistful look on face*

I was just at another thread and people were talking about X-Com, now I come to this one and it's Command & Conquer! All this nostalgia kind of makes me a little teary eyed.

BTW, there is a great site at "http://www.the-underdogs.org/" that has boatloads of classic free games to download. I'm finally going to give System Shock a whirl. System Shock 2 was an all-time classic for me. Shodan IS the greatest villain of all time.

Looks nice enough!!! Some weapon pods, and rudders could be added (although it would not require any for mobility) to make it look more aggressive.

Cool stuff ... have to find a nodding purpose for it now

 

[Ed O'War]

Looks good. We can always use more modern/sci-fi units.

 

[Jewell Man]

Great Job! I love your work.

What I especially appreciate about your work is that your units "fit comfortably" with the game's overall look and feel. They look like they've just always belonged.

Cool - I was wondering what had happened to this...

 

[hetairoi22]

Just put it into my game. Looks fabulous!

My stats:

12/15/2 (treats all squares as roads) landunit. Costs 100 shields. Available with Robotics.

btw, here's an animated attack preview of all 8 directions

I am willing to make sounds 4 u.... May take a while as

A) My sound software is experiencing Problems
B) I have a queue of requests.

PM me for more info.

 

[hetairoi22]

Cool! What type of weapon and armor does it wield (tidbits for my civilopedia)?

 

[Level]

Senoj, you ca n make sounds any way you want for now (I may have specifics when I get back in two Years)

hetairoi22, how about this: "The ducted fan vertical takeoff light gun ship, has an armament of one 27 mm depleted uranium firing minigun firing 1800 rounds per minute, with reactive plate armor and a small transport bay." (Description from my dad)

I have a full AVI if you want to turn it in to a GIF.

 

[Jewell Man]

Just thought of something concerning the name... umm.. don't all copters "hover"?

 

[J-S]

Excelent unit! I'm downloading it right now coz it will make an excelent upgrade for aerial units! Very well done!
BTW, can I interest you in making the Mammoth Tank from C&C?

 

[Jandor]

Very nice unit, Level. This one caught me totally by surprise. I put it in my game last evening and it's a beauty. I renamed it to Jet Copter and made it available with Advanced Fighters, a tech I added beyond all the Modern Age techs. Definitely a cool unit.

 

[Boulboulgadol]

Looks really nice !

It can be used at the same time than the dropship in a futuristic time.

 

[Smoking mirror]

Awsome Unit! When Balous future Infantry is finished I will add both units to the end of the modern age, Problem is I never get there, modern era games are so slow even small standard size maps, and most often Ive wiped out all oposition by then.

Some one should do a near future earth scenario, with just one or two hand picked units and a modified world map to show global warming and rising water levels.

Kingpin, how do you add new techs? Is it hard to do?
