Unit Preview: Charlie (Vietnamese Infantry)

Thank you, Kal-el. I didn't even read that post until you pointed it out.

I wish I could put more time into units but I have bills to pay, I have a job with unpredictable hours, and a girlfriend whom I wish to spend the rest of my life with.

I won't let a game get in the way of my personal life just because some people can't use their imagination.

Besides, it's my impression that the Viet Cong could look like whatever the hell they wanted to look like, and did. They did not need to carry much because they had their bunkers. Remember them? That's why we lost the war. They were already setup because of the war with France, gaining them a huge advantage in their defending and occupied land.

Now, if I was making the Chinese infantry from the Korean war, that would be a completely different story. They were able to carry light and go on the offense into completely different territory. If the Vietnamese had to travel to places they did not know and were not already stationed, then they wouldn't have been able to carry so lightly, albiet they would still be lighter then the infantry unit.

Oh, and my leaderheads are photographs of the actual leaders with graphic editing to make them look like paintings. They may be simple but they work. And even though I don't put myself anywhere on the modder list, you don't diss my leaderheads.
 
To speak to one comment, I have no problem with the rifle: I took it to be an SKS instead of an AK47; the SKS was fairly common. And it all looks fine to me; I've always wanted to play a decent Vietnamese civ ever since Civ2 in fact.

Thank you, Richard.

This unit shouldn't take too long to make, obviously. I might be finished with it late tomorrow night. Once it's done, I'll add it to the BETA version of my mod and you can playtest it if you like. It has everything you need to play the game, it's just lacking the bells and whistles (Civilopedia, etc.)

If you don't want to, I understand. I just need somebody to let me know how it is, especially with the Vietnamese since it's a new addition.

Thanks again for the positive input. :)
 
No problemmo sween! I too can't wait to play with this unit, and I totally understand the girlfriend thing and job, we civers do have real lives - some of us anyway.
 
Adding this hat is harder then I thought. Even the Guerillero and Carden-Lloyd was easier. It's very touchy and bounces around easily. That's ok, I can be patient. I think.
