[avain]

avain, I just have to do a certain Russian BB first, check my thread.

Ok, thanks, Matt!

Is that the authentic GeneralMatt modern Iowa, Wolfshanze, or is that just the regular Civ 4 battleship graphic?

The regular battleship graphic of course. You can see it on the bow.

Why it's the authentic Civ4 default USS Iowa... the 1st Iowa in Civ4 that started it all... then Matt went and made a 2nd Iowa, then a 3rd Iowa... I'm showing the 1st and 3rd Iowa's... maybe I should show all three?

Or... you could say I'm showing the Iowa's I thought were necessary and leaving-out the Iowa's I thought were redundant?!?!?

I'm still waiting for him to make that fourth Iowa... the modernized one with the missile attack animations.

 

[GeneralMatt]

Oh yes, I totally forgot about that! Well, thinking on it now, that is really out of my ball park..

Good... stick to the Pre-Dreadnoughts through WWII ships and you'll please about 99% of the folks around here... forget about that stupid modern stuff... most people restart their games by the end of WWII era anyways (and my poll proves it!).

 

[Gaius Octavius]

So what? There's a blasted "snake ballista" unit in the DB! If there's room for that, surely there is room for an updated Iowa, if GM ever develops the ability to change animations.

But for now, I actually agree with Wolfshanze... try out some of those WWII units I gave you!

 

[Wolfshanze]

We have enough Iowa's already... who needs a 4th one?

Now that list I provided Matt should give him plenty of options for coolness!

 

[Gaius Octavius]

We have enough posts from Wolfshanze saying we have enough Iowas. Who needs another one?

Sorry for being a smart aleck, but I just couldn't resist...

I think your avatar is starting to look a bit chubby Gaius.

The better to eat you with, my dear!

(Reference to the wolf in the Red Riding Hood fairy tale for those who don't get it.)

Do you now use 'chubby' as a universal epithet?

 

[GeneralMatt]

You guys, what shall I do with you! And I cannot believe the spam they let us get away with.

 

[Gaius Octavius]

From now on I suggest we all sign a non-aggression pact such that we confine ourselves to the discussion of the issue at hand, such as: What is your next unit going to be?

I believe after the Russian Battleship (Gummy or Gangut, depending on whose spelling you believe), it will be the Austrian Dreadnought Tegetthoff (not to be confused with any Hungarian High Seas Fleet warship).

 

[GeneralMatt]

Correct. Then most likely, depending on circumstances, maybe a Itallian BB, or some CA's..

But we're still missing so many pre-dreadnoughts!

 

[GeneralMatt]

Yes, some of those to! I have to take a look at that list you put together again.. Lets move over to "My" thread..

 

[Wolfshanze]

BTW... the crew of the USS Iowa would like to thank you for making such a fine model and "getting it right" in the end!

Indeed. (Repeat. Repeat.)
