Thanks for all the additional images, Lorenzarius. Hopefully some of the unit creators will take an interest.
I sure hope Kinboat finishes that Spearman.

I definitely hope for some more "ethnic" units but I think it will take some time, except in the case of some special scenario/mod. Most people are busy preparing modern units for WW2 to WW4 onwards.
I guess not every Civ player is interested in history, especially of foreign (alien ?) lands. I mean history before 1941.
But Kal-El I like the way you keep reminding unit makers of other choices and possibilities.
Yoda, I thought these units were from DBA online, is it a common stock with wargaming.net ?

Actually, I am interested in having units from "foreign lands," even those from before 1941. The problem is that those units are mostly human forms. I don't know how to make these types of units. If I could, I would. As it is, I make what I can.

That's how I felt when I first started making units... I wanted to make historical units, but the program I used didn't really work with organic shapes. So I was stuck doing tanks and planes I'm now working on the Chinese Peasant/spearman, I'd like to try some of the others but that armor is complicated

I really look forward to Kinboat's Chinese spearman, that unit looks great
Any one heard of the game Emperor: the Rise of Middle Kingdom? That game has quite a few Chinese units. This page may serve as a reference. (I wonder if there's anyone who can convert those)

Here's an Asian pikeman unit from another game Rise of Nations

If anyone has seen the chinese film "The Emperor and the Assassin," directed by Chen Kaige (Farewell, My Concubine) it is about the war of unification under the Qin dynasty and how Ying Zheng (qinshihuangdi) goes nuts. Anyway, it has some really amazing costumes, you should be able to rent it to see. It's also a fantastic movie, I think.
I really hope that spearman gets finished, I think this is great to see all this attention given to this thread. Also, I've seen 'Emperor' in action, and the graphics are really beautiful. If someone could transfer them that would be great too!
I stopped making units because I wasn't pleased with what I was able to produce in comparison to what everyone else was doing, and I figured if I just didn't make any more, someone else would eventually do a better version of anything I would do. I think the Tongkang is my fav. of all the units I did, and the junk was my first unit, so it's kindof special too, but I don't like any of the other more modern ships I made. So thats why. But thanks for all the support, glad you all liked them.

It seems like I have to apologize here so I do.
I have to admit I did not think of the graphical issues (I am crap when it comes to anything related to graphics). I did not mean that no past/foreign units had been created but just that quite a few creators are heavily focusing on modern warfare alone (at least at the moment) and I hope that afterwards they will swithch to a broader diversity.
Anyway I should not be complaining because I cannot any units myself but I like to use them and some very nice ones have been created, including past/foreign ones by you or utahjazz.
I love as well the Tongkang and junk. They may or may not be perfect graphically but they fit nicely in oriental games.
Do not take it personally, please forgive me and keep on doing nice units.

No problem. I just wanted to point out that it is more difficult to create human units than it is to make a box(tank). I would like to make human units myself, but I cannot figure out how to use Poser.

Please keep on ! I for one loved your junk and tongkang.
I am sure you can take something else from yours sleeve.

There are over a billion people of Chinese dissent, and your telling me that none of them 1) have Civ3, 2) visit CFC, 3) have 3D graphics abilities and 4) want to see more Chinese Flavor units in the game?
I don't believe it. I would expect to get a little love from my fellow Chinese constituents.

I'm Chinese at heart, , but german by genetics. I can't get enough of china, and I want to see more variation in civ3, I had hoped when I made some units a while ago it would spark an interest in asian units, and people would take them up, instead of millions of tanks. Although there is a chinese tank in the works, so thats a step in the right direction I guess!!
