thats not a unit. post that request in the main Creation and Customization forum.
Well, in case nobody noticed my ****up(posting in the main custom forum) here I go again, the M551 Sheridan is what id like to see. Id set all other tanks to wheeled making this the only tank moving through jungle and marsh also making it able to paradrop or make som special transport craft for it. Somebody really SHOULD make this unit, there are so many around but noone thought about this one...Id appreciate it greatly.

I have been looking all over for some sort of early automatic small-arms armed (huh?) infantry guy. A 1919-1925 era infantryman armed with a Thompson or some sort of early SMG. I followed about a dozen links around for the Waffen SS unit, which was close to what I am looking for, but could not download it for the life of me. It just errored.
Something similar to the conscripts in Red Alert 2 (trenchcoat infantry with Thompsons, at least I think so from the very small pic) or the automatic infantry from League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen (it was creepy how close they were to what I am looking for : I just saw this movie two days ago).
If anyone could create this for me, or at least point me in the right direction, I would be eternally grateful. (Whoo.

I would really like to see a James Bond "spy type" land unit that compares with submarines in stealth & invisibility yet has some lethal ability to kill a king, settler, worker, scout, etc & possibly even a military unit via sabotage if the movement turn is devoted to that (treat like an attack but the spy has better defense during a sabotage function than it would if it was "discovered". Something that can move inside enemy territory or beside an enemy unit without being seen unless a) an enemy unit attempts to move to the square containing the spy b) the spy encounters units capable of seeing it (similar to subs, AEGIS cruisers, & destroyers).
This would really be an aid in staging & preventing sneak attacks & would add an extra dimension to the game. I don't know if the game can accomodate this kind of unit but I know I would love to make use of its abilities.

I have done a bit of BIC/BIX/BIQ editting, and I can tell you that unfortunately there is no way to 'sabotage' things, although you could pillage terrain. You need only 1 attack to capture a settler/worker and to kill a scout, and then you could immediately disband said unit... that would be as close to killing them as you can get. Unfortunately, as far as I know, you will always have to enter combat with a king unit.
You CAN however, make a land unit invisible like a submarine. But you would need to make a unit to counteract it : perhaps give spy units the ability to be invisible, and detect invisible.
So in conclusion, you can do some of what you suggest, but not all... and I do not know what happens if you try to move a unit into a square that already has a stealth unit in it.

sabotage is possible, polaris. With bombard, stealth attack, invisible, stealth, hidden nationality flags you can pull it off. Even the assasination of kings is possible.

Kinboat has a really cool Bond unit and there are other cool spy units on the forum. My two favs are Kinboat's Bond and the Covert Operative.

1) Ashley J. "Ash" Williams (as played by Bruce Campbell in "Army of Darkness") as an industrial foot unit.
2) The Cobra HISS tank from the G.I. Joe cartoon. It isn't just that I always liked the way it looked, but I really think having a tank where the driver gets out and runs away before it is destroyed would be worth while.
I understand that these are not as useful in most Civ games as other requests, but I would be greatly appreciative.
Okay, I have tried to add some basic pictures.

Unit request: Ming Dynasty era Chinese Zhanmadao Swordsman. The Zhanmadao sword appears a lot like a Japanese Nodachi sword, but the swordsman should be wearing a Ming Chinese infantry uniform.
We need more Chinese units!

Another request. The image is from Crocodile Games "War Gods." Sculpted by Chris FitzPatrick, painted by Marike Reimer. I was thinking about using it for Egypt or for Louisiana (for a Southern State vs. Souther State game). Anyway, thought it looked great and you guys do wonders.

I agree wholeheartedly, but do you have any pictures? Unit creators tend to need those if the request interests them and they take it up.Ogedei_the_Mad said:Unit request: Ming Dynasty era Chinese Zhanmadao Swordsman.

Some kind of World War One era bomber. Like a Gotha. I know someone else was supposedly working on a Gotha model but that post is 20 months old now or something...

Request for an armored bulldozer for a Civ project I'm working on. I specifically have in mind a unit based on the Israeli D9, itself a modified version of the civilian D9 built by Caterpillar. I plan for this unit to have a bulldoze (bombard) attack, so no need for gun blasts, etc. Should have military colors, preferrably green or otherwise camoflauged, not civilian yellow. This Wikipedia site has more information and links on the D9. If you have any questions/comments, don't hesitate to PM me.
