Is there a Portuguese-skinned Leopard 2 tank out there? And maybe a Portuguese Skinned Chaimite or something passable?

The various Leopard 2 skins out there are just slightly different camos with a different flag slapped on it, so may be you could do the same.

For the Chamite, have you seen all differnt Stryker skins in VD. They could maybe pass.

DD is a code that was used in WWII for a destroyer. I forget the ones given to carriers, submarines, cruisers, etc.

CV, SS, and CA, as a general rule. I may as well make a list of the most common from WWII-era:

BB - Battleship
BC - Battle Cruiser
CV - Aircraft Carrier
CVE - Escort Aircraft Carrier (about half the size and one third the air complement)
CVS - Aircraft Carrier designed for ASW (anti-submarine warfare) roles. (Trivia - most submarines were, and still would be, sunk by aircraft)
CA - Heavy Cruiser
CL - Light Cruiser
DD - Destroyer
DE - Destroyer/Escort
FF - Frigate
SS - Submarine
APD - High-speed transport
AO - Oiler (Almost always one around - small ships didn't have the fuel to get very far)
PT - Patrol Boat

Modern navies have a lot of 'G' designations for "Guided-Missile":
PG
FFG
DDG
CG
SSG

And also, of course, the 'N' designation for Nuclear:

CVN
SSN
SSGN (nuclear-powered submarine that launches guided missiles)

And finally, Ballistic-Missile launchers:

SSBN for Submarine, Ballistic-missile, Nuclear-powered

In theory, for futuristic or alternative-reality games, you can mix-and-match:

DDN (nuclear-powered destroyer)
FFBN (nuclear-powered Frigates that carry ballistic-missiles (yes, that would be a little absurd))
AON (nuclear-powered oiler)
CVGN (nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with guided missile launchers)
 
Snafusmith made a seaplane tender, but did anyone make any seaplanes? The only one that immediately came to mind is the Catalina, but no one has that for Civ IV yet (there is one for Civ III).

I've made quite a few seaplanes, both from WW1 and WW2. I've posted some, but for WW2 (Ar 196 and JF2 Duck) you'd have to look in my old Warlords Mod 'Modern Warfare.' I don't know if I posted them separately.
 
Cool, thanks. Where did you find it? I tried searching the forum but it found nothing.
 
Lucky you. When I search the DB this forum tends to slow down, and than bug up.
Thanks again for that.

PS: Has anyone made a JAS 39 Gripen? It would be the perfect modern jet for vikings.
 
I'm pretty sure this unit exists, or if it doesn't I am requesting that it be made. Is there a Zulu Musketman and Cuirassier out there? I kind of want them to match and I think there could be a better unit than the impi with the musket. Maybe these guys?

Anyone want to take this up?
 
I think the Turks deserve their own explorer. And I think it should be based on Piri Reis. I have a pretty good concept for him in my head but I can't really put it together. If someone could make an explorer (basically use explorer animations) that has a chinese swordsman's body (or an Oromo Warrior's body, but without all that grass :):):):) on it) and an islamic missionary's head with a "Turkish style sword" that would be very helpful. Here is the only image I could really find of him:

If anyone could do this for me that would be awesome. Thanks.
 
Please, could someone make a star wars clone trooper?
 
I was about to make my flavored set for Mongolia and I wanted to see what some modern and Industrial Mongolians looked like and I have to say, we have to make these units for them. So if anyone wants to help me, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know because if these are done correctly they would be friggin awesome, check it out.

CAVALRY

RIFLEMAN
Way too big, so CLICK HERE​

INFANTRY

I think the hats/helmets on the top two are awesome and very unique, plus the uniforms are just as unique and vibrant and would make the Mongolian civ stand out well into the industrial/modern era. The Infantry could be used as a base for the Machinegunner and AT Infantry as well. The really really modern soldiers are pretty generic looking. But I thought these units looked very cool.
 
Yeah it was showing up, then it didn't now it is again. Weird.

I could just reskin a Machinegunner (which I have been doing for most of my units) but I don't think it would do the uniform proper justice, we might need someone to remodel it. I also think the baggier pants that we used on the Turkish grenadier might be better for these guys too, just to make them a bit more unique, or at least on the Rifleman. The hats/helmets will be the toughest part, although I'm sure I could come up with something, here were the original Mongolian Riflemen I just made myself a couple of months ago. For something off the top of my head they aren't that far off, but I think the helmet I used here could be edited to work for the Cavalry.

Hopefully the post-bump won't stop anyone who wants to help from helping. But it might... :(

EDIT: I made a small attempt to try to retexture a regular Machinegunner model (without the extra... well... I don't even know what to call that thing they have on over their clothing, but you know what I Mean) and it kinda looks cool, I'm sure I can do a better job, but I think it would be better if the model was edited appropriately. But check it out anyway.
