Unit requests thread

the german mechanized infantry MARDER

The Marder series (I-III) was a tank destroyer; from the Sonderfahrkraftzeuge only the Sd. Kfz. 250 and 251 were mechanized infantry. (Previous types were scout vehicles, like the US jeep, but with armour protection.)

Also not a unit request: bring back the Legion!

(Basically a matter of renaming. The Pretorian Garde only saw action by murder and coup, removing and setting up emperors; originally they were the city guard of Rome, by extension the imperial life guard or imperial garde. Also, I know it's already done in one mod, but I think it should be a matter of principle - like replacing the Phalanx with the Hoplite, the 1st being a formation, not a unit. So, strictly speaking my request should read: Bring back the Legionary!)

That is true in the WW2 sense but Marder was also the name of the West German MICV/IFV developed during the 1960s.

The Marder also provided the chassis for the Argentine TAM medium tank.

CivChess Mod Needs Units

I am making a Chess mod and am done with the basic stuff.
Download the CivChess Beta Mod v0.300bts3.13 if you want to checkout what I got so far.

What I need is 6 models of the basic chess pieces, pawn, knight, bishop, rook, queen, and king. What I am wanting is the basic classic pieces like at this link. I also want the whole unit to be the player color. Any takers?


I also am going to have the version that uses normal units as pieces. To that goal I am happy with vanilla units for all the pieces except the queen. It would be really cool if someone could make Medieval Queen model.


To get more info see the CivChess Project Thread.

Sounds interesting. It's late night so i can't try out the mod yet, but did you want Animations with the normal pieces? I'm just starting some 3D stuff, and this looks like a great little test

Star Trek mod needs more models!!!

(Beta1 version has been released)

 

[seitan2102]

I think this is a must:

Landing Platform Dock (LPD - Naval Warfare Vessel):

An LPD is a mass land transport. I think vanilla Civ4 lacks in that area. Current transports in game, are small see vessels that in real life carry only foot soldiers. It's unimaginable that vessels like the ones used in vanilla Civ4 (and all previous versions of Civ) can transport Armored Units (Tanks, Mechanized Infantry, even Gunships!!!). I laugh every time i load tanks and Gunships in a Transport. It's just super-unrealistic.

An LPD can transport a large number of Tanks, Helicopters and of course Ground Units. A description pic follows:

This is the US, San Antonio Class:

I think this is a must:

That ship already exists.

Use the search feature to find existing models

 

[seitan2102]

Didn't see that. I must have missed it. I was looking around with the wrong keywords i guess... (USS San Antonio was a lucky pick there)

The towers of the original ship are missing though. No offense (i can't even think of making units myself but i know this has got to be very hard) but is it possible to have a reskin for this? I think it needs some further work. Compared to how important a unit class such as this one is for this game.

is it possible to make this an upgrade to the normal transport, and rename it "Modern Transport" ??

and a unit request:
a generic mechanized tank destroyer, called "Tank Destroyer"

No, I don't think I need any animations for the normal pieces. Just the models will be fine with me.

there is an issue with the AI's playing. the knight can move only one space.
also, i think that the bishops animation should be them beating the other unit over the head with the book (torah)

Yes

Already done... see Snafu's Modern Warfare mod for Warlords.

I'm beginning to get the feeling a lot of people are making requests for units that already exist... I sense a pattern here... please look harder folks before requesting stuff!

Yea, I know. That is just an example mod so unit makers can see that the mod is progressing.

Cool Jeckel. I'll have a go over the weekend and see what happens.

And this is the marder i was talking about

Awesome man, I wish you luck with the graphical voodoo.

I finnaly got to making a thread for the mod so lets move this discussion to CivChess Project Thread.

^^ But you can download the mod and take the units you need as well, and place them into a bts mod
