A kilt ?! You philistine...

I just didn't wanna write 'skirt'

Spoiler :

Do you have other pictures of the characters in the first one you posted? I'd be curious to see if the strange red thing they have around their neck is not... a cape...

Yeah, the first two pics are AI generated. That's obvious I guess.
Only the last one is a real work of an artist.

The next crazy request: I am looking for a submarine using artillery weaponry (including suitable animations).
Examples:

Britisch M-Class Submarine Monitor

German Submarine Cruiser

French Surcouf

I did experiments a now long time ago with Surcouf. I wanted the submarine to cruise under sea and come to surface to fire its twin guns. The file includes the firing front gun stage only. You'll have to try the three destroyer.nif files, as I absolutely do not remember which one was the most acceptable version. Maybe will it interest you.
I have nothing better to offer for now.

I'd like a T-6 Texan unit, which could be used as a Fighter unit for various minor western-aligned nations. I'd use it as a Congolese fighter, but there's a whole bunch of other post-Colonial and minor nations that could use it too.

Spoiler T-6 Texan image, kinda big :

I did have a Dauntless I converted, and it's not too hard to reshape into a passable Texan (I already did the same to get a Yak-11 for a similar purpose). I left the texture 512x512 (recommend to downsize at least to 256x256) as I didn't paint any civcolor or insignia on it - if you need skins for specific countries, feel free to provide reference pics and I'll be happy to oblige.

I was able to find a picture of a DR Congolese T-6 Texan.

One for Congo is all I need atm.

I strongly support the implementation of the T-6 (cheap "counter-guerrilla" aircraft, it seems to me, will be useful).
However, the nuance is that the T-6 is a somewhat peculiar fighter, because it could only reliably destroy agricultural aircraft. Therefore, even the Congolese rebels in 1960 rushed to acquire jet training aircraft. And by the late 1960s and early 1970s, it was the gold standard even in very small African countries like the Togo.
I'd keep that grumble to myself, but
1. In principle, it is possible to pull the forgotten P-59 Airacomet out of the "Road to War" - there is an external similarity there.
2. There's something here. https://3dmdb.com/en/3d-model/avion-dentrainement-aero-l-29-delfin/7562068/
It looks like a simple model. I can't check it directly, the website is blocking Russian.
At the same time, the L-29 is Czechoslovak, but it is a typical representative of the most common class, "a piece weighing about the size of a late Messerschmidt."
As for the Western version, there was such a thing as the T-33 based on the F-80 Shooting Star. It's much heavier and more expensive, and it's not about Africa anymore. But Central America and South American/Asian countries could already afford the change. The F-80 is in the "1941" (?). In short, there is definitely somewhere. But it's a little weird there.
Here is a model for some kind of derivative of the "Blitzkrieg". https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/lockheed-f-80c-shooting-star-0ac53f200f7b4ba2b897b20a002a45c
Models from where regularly migrate to fashion. Landfills - 1,8 thousand/900
Here's the actual T-33 https://3dmdb.com/en/3d-model/avion-dentrainement-lockheed-t-33-shooting-star/5486392/ But this is still the same site that decisively defeats Russia.
As for Africa, there are a couple of Western options. The cheapest and lightest is the Magister But the models are extremely questionable.https://3dmdb.com/en/3d-model/red-fouga-magister-as-posted-by-kfir/7919809/

Hi all, first off, best wishes for this new year to come.

I'm looking for a specific unit, which is a mounted archer on a wolf/tiger. To be more accurate, I am looking for the wolf skeleton with a ranged effect node (bow, crossbow, catapult, gun... no matter which!). I have reviewed all my archives but haven't found any. I specify that I am not interested in the "wolf body put on horse skeleton" models (the front legs movement is incorrect).

Of course, if one is able to quickly modify the wolf anims and nif to get such a result, I'm interested, but I'm also interested in a Nifskope tutorial covering such a modification (I may have missed it...).

 

[topsecret]

I'm not sure if my Orc unit collections have one, I suspect they're the horse ones but I'm not sure on that

 

[Jarmrik]

Your mod is on the top of the medieval fantasy shelve, next to FFH2 . It thus has been where I've checked first, and I confirm they're based on the horse skeleton.
Thanks for the try!

I remember having seen a wolf spiting fire somewhere, but never been able to find it again. I probably had a dream...

Hello I’m back to Civ4 after quite a few years away. Nice to see it’s still very popular. I’m wondering if there is an existing unit pack of, Or if someone could assemble, or possibly recommend a mod I could include these units please?
To be added to the Extra-Mod….
* Iron cladded sailing ships
* Steam Frigate
* Steam Transport
* Dreadnaught
* WW1 Tanks
* WW1 Planes
Thanks Guys and nice to be back

 

[Kathy]

Did you already search in the download section? I guess, some of them are there. I remember a paddle wheel steamer and a more modern steamer, at least one ironclad-ship with sails (a steamer with sails, of course), and some early tanks and planes, too. Truly to say I am confident all of those units exist. Either in the industrial units section or the modern units section.
If you can't find all of them, we can surely help you, but first of all it should be best you take a look yourself - there are couples af good units you can find and use.

 

[Walter Hawkwood]

Also, you'll need to do some unpacking, but there's a lot of what you're requesting in RI.

 

[Darkator]

i make f-100 super sabre

I ran total realism years ago loved it. I did download one of them recently I’ll prolly find way too many units I need lol

 

[Kathy]

I have 2 special requests again:

First of all a Mark I tank (the exisisting Mark IV with this wheels added will also do)

Secondly a Burstyn-Motorgeschütz.

The first one I can try myself maybe, but the second one I cannot.

 

[Walter Hawkwood]

Burstyn-Motorgeschütz is in Blood and Iron mod; attaching here for your convenience.

There is a good MK I for Civ 5, which should be quite easy to convert https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/civ5-ww1-tank-pack-8-tanks.25347/

 

[Darkator]

has anyone made a m551 sheridan model?

 

[Kathy]

Wow, that was quick. Unfortunately, I am not able to convert Civ5 Models to Civ4. But the Burstyn-Tank is great.

 

[Walter Hawkwood]

Well, I didn't actually make it so it was as quick as me remembering where I saw it (which wasn't nearly quick enough for my liking ). Anyway, converting Mark I was quite trivial, here you go (you should probably downscale the texture but I left it the original 512x512). Has civcolor, uses the original Mark V animations (or rather lack thereof, as that vanilla unit is barely animated at all).
