I'd love to have a portuguese explorer (explorador) for my Portugal Civ mod.

Here's some art examples:

From what I can tell about the Portuguese explorers... they really didn't have standard issue uniforms. The only thing I definitely want is musket firearms since the unit is supposed to replace the musketman.

Thanks,
Joseph

Someone start making fantasy/fairy tale units. I've got a place for you soon. And hot-looking female units. That's what I want!

 

[surdanis]

Marines - Modern Era

Hunter Killers from Terminator - Future Era

Is it true there is no way to mod new graphics for units though?

 

[sampedestal]

Slingers/peltasts.

Egyptian sickle-swordsmen.

surdanis--My understanding is that it is possible, but different and (maybe) harder than Civ4--certainly harder in that it is different from the methods that everyone is used to.
There are a few units that have been coverted from Civ4 to Civ5. I haven't tried making a Civ5 unit, but I guess worse-case scenario is that you make a Civ4 model and then export.

 

[Ighten]

Roundheads and the Royalist.. Would love to see how a civ long war between these two on a English map would end up..

False
New units have been added including a marine for my mod. ( Sorry i will not be releasing this one)

Although animations is where they're having trouble

False
Animations do indeed work

The topic was unit requests.....if you guys need more info on adding units please see the tutorial section! Mod On!

 

[The Tollan]

It would be interesting for someone to try to make graphics for these Starcraft 2 units (for future age units):

Spectre

Colossus

 

[Decimatus]

I had made another thread for this, but this seems better.


Jet Fighter. Any F-16/F-15/F-14/Mig-29/etc.
Unmanned Aircraft. Any Predator/Global Hawk/Reaper/X-47
DDX Destroyer.
CGX Cruiser.
Powered Infantry. Infantry with an exoskeleton, light or heavy.
Machine Gunner.
Combat Controller. Infantry with some kind of laser designator.
Supercarrier. Nimitz or other nuclear powered design(or just a huge normal carrier).
Fusion Supercarrier. About the same as the supercarrier but different.
Hypersonic Cruise Missile. Some sharp looking scramjet missile.
Tactical Laser Air Defense. Perhaps looking like a rocket artillery but with a dome on top.
Stealth Gunship. RAH-66 Comanche or similar.
Stealth Submarine. Sleeker, sharper version of the nuke sub perhaps.
Mass Driver Artillery. Long barreled mobile artillery.
Gauss Tank. Somewhat futuristic tank look.
Hypersonic Bomber. Perhaps based upon the B-3 or Aurora pics floating around.
Hypersonic Interceptor. Futuristic fighter.
Micro UAV Team. Infantry carrying around man-launch-able UAV's.

There is a part of me that would love to see gigantic monster type units... like Godzilla... if I was to see such units made... I might try my hand at a Kaijou (Strange Beast) scenario where the point of the mod is to see how long you can survive... and perhaps even defeat the Kaijou menace.

For a sci-fi ciV mod if someone could convert the following units from BtS Next War:

- cyborg
- automaton

And converting the following units from BtS Final Frontier:
- Colonizer unit (its oversized when displayed on map, but definately serviceable!)
- terraformer unit


Much appreciated!

[Ajidica]

Pikemen and Cavalry from the 30 Years War would be nice if anyone feels like converting them and there are appropriate civ4 models.

I already have something similar in my More Stuff Mod, you should check it out.

In any case, I'd like if someone got around to extracting the Airship graphic from Civ IV and importing it into use in Civ V, if someone had the time/know how.

Thanks

 

[Mynex]

Can someone convert the Engineer from civIV over please?

I'm this >< close to having a better worker and I'd like to use a different look...

And the Icon for it as well please.

(or am I thinking CivIII had engineers? gah!)

 

[WhigViewofCiv]

I'd love a pike and shot unit, which would be as easy* as combining the existing pikeman and musket units. Luckily, both are melee units too. I don't think this has been created in earlier Civs.



*I have no idea if this is easy

 

[killmeplease]

someone make an ox cart please!

it will be a supply unit for supply mod.

Perhaps these will do for this request?

 

[Gwydion62]

I would like a mid 19th century european infantry unit that do not look like this US infantry rifleman...

would be great to have one for the big european nations:
germans, british, french, austrian, russian

same for the cavalry - in europe there where dragoons, hussars, ulans...

 

[PEACE!]

ok dude please! since I have requested a Dacian civilization,it would be really nice if someone would make the Dacian Falxmen,this is a RtW Dacian Falxmen,so it will be more easier for u if ur gonna make this..u shall have all my respect

 

[blazekid87]

I have some models I can submit if anybody wants to rig them to civ 5 animations.

Heres some that I have:

Soviet Conscript
Soviet Officer
Chinese Modern Soldier
Chinese Officer
American Paratrooper
American Modern Marine
Guerilla

And I also have some vehicles.

P.S. I know this has been requested before, but I would also like to see a cyborg unit if anybody wants to make one.
