Unit requests thread

I am back from holydays and saw, one of my wishes was fulfilled - someone created a world-war II troop-transport-truck. Unfortunatelly it was for civ 3. Can anyone convert it into a civ 4 model, or create an equal unit?

Not sure which unit you refer to (I do not follow Civ 3), but you could use this as a WW2 troop transport. There is an updated version of it (with troops in it) in Modern Warfare.

What a coincidence - I was just searching the forums for some kind of Second World War truck - but a more generic transport vehicle than the linked half-track. Basically, something that could fill the role of a modern supply wagon (like in the Charlemagne scenario). Any ideas if one of those exist?
 
How about a gatling gun unit, someone created a good one for civ3. An early machine gun. It could be a defensive only unit like the vanilla machine gun. Industrial units are a bit thin. Thanx.

I swear that gets asked every 5-10 pages or so in this thread! :p


(oh, and I filled-up the industrial units in my mod!).

Oh, yes, thanks a lot, I think this is what I need. Unfortunatelly I was not able to download modern warfare, but I think, the other one will do very well, too.:) I also was not able to download the truck asioasioasio showed, I do not know why, perhaps I can not download greater files like modpacks - don't know why.
 
- v1 .Indian war elephant( couldnt come up with other names- i.e mahout elephant etc)
strength 8 +50 % vs cavalry
double movement through forests, jungles ( simulating the difference fof indian elephants to other elephants.. only problem highly situational)
* eligible for city raider promotion

- v2 Indian War elephant
strength 8 + 25% vs cavalry
2 movement
( could some1 dredge up the facts for hammer cost ? )
reduced cost to replicate the abundance of elephants in the region
*eligible for city raider promos

- v3 Indian war elephant
strength 9
movement 1
able to bombard city defenses( 5% per turn) - not affected by city walls castle modifiers etc

@ also another idea.. Indians used rockets in the field against the british and inflicted a terrible defeat on them- google tippu sultan
to reflect this perhaps a cannon unit


1. Congreve Rocket
12 strength + usual cannon stats
25 % bonus against infantry?


feel free to elaborate or give sugggestions
congreve rocket looks like a katyusha except without the truck... just a cannon replaced with rows of rockets

Komunyst_Indian, those are all XML stats, and have nothing to do with the purpose of this forum, which is to create NEW UNIT MODELS... stats and models are completely independent from one another.
 
Okay Wolfshanze, I should have looked back through the thread, I guess I'll second previous gatling gun requests then. I'll check out your mods, thanx.

You're more like 3rding or 4thing it... don't worry... lots of people have been asking for the same... no biggie... how is anyone supposed to read this whole thread anyways?

As for my mod... well, if you like Industrial Age stuff, you should like my mod... if you see it in this video, it's in my mod!
 
Because of my success in searching units, here another request: I am still looking for a industrial/modern soldier using skiers. Has anyone a modell I have overseen? If not, could anyone create this unit? I want to re-install civ2-alpine troop in my mod.
 
Could someone make some cool new ancient / classical units. I dont think theres enough of them around like the masses of renaissance-modern units :).

Like a slightly more advanced warriors wielding a hammer instead of a club (still looks pretty primitive).

Or completely new archer designs that could be made in to new types of bowman.

Some alternatives to the horse archer would be nice too; like dudes wielding swords and other weapons.

Stone Throwers/peltists would also be nice :)

There are plenty of civ-specific units for those ages around, most of them also vary in what weapons they use, e.g. most of Danrell's horse archer units actually use swords or spears.

So you could use those for some new types instead if you wanted to.

Maybe you could use some of the other units as new types instead too

Stone Throwers/peltists would also be nice :)

there already is a Peltast in CIV (Art\units\Peltast)
 
In fact, "Horse Archers" are almost non-existant in the unit mod community... most ancient horse units made around here use spears or swords... just look in the ancient downloads section.

Hows this, i think this is the closest that has been made thus far, not a real looking one but close.

Also i agree with post #1709, OzzyKP.
 
Thanks, strategyonly, that is sort of close. What is it supposed to be, and where'd you find it? Oh yeah, I hope the Twins beat the White Sox, (go Cubs).
Wolfshanze, impressive movie and mod, great stuff.

You are right concerning horsemen, but I am -for example- are looking for a camel rider unsing a sword or a spear, and that could bu found nowhere (please correct me if I am wrong).
