Work in progess and Previews

[7ronin]

Wasn't there a movie several years ago about an old man whose goal in life was to find Yamataikoku?

My friends in Fukuoka tell me it's in Kita Kyushu. My friends in Osaka tell me it's in Kinki. So in reply, I would say, tell me your home prefecture and I will tell you the location of Yamatai. Just don't say you are from Tohoku or Hokkaido.

Good to see you're doing some new workers and settlers. They always add much to the atmosphere of a mod.

 

[Jerry'sGoldfish]

yes, i will second that. some civilian units embellish the heavy war/conflict atmosphere that tensions the game...

 

[Ogedei_the_Mad]

OMG. That Kannushi's magical attack is amazing.

These units will be excellent for my mod.

[...if I can find a way to balance a PhD program and do Civ3 modding, that is.]

 

[7ronin]

Ogedei: I hope you can find that balance. Remember, all work and no play...
May we inquire as to the nature of your PhD program and its specific focus?

Shiro, is there a chance to see male & female settlers simultaneously, for a single era? It's not a request, but a question - a thing is unique when it's 1 or 2 examples presented. Personally I prefer male ones, probably, it's a stereotype by the standard game (and not a chauvinism), just as it is. (Zulu - South Africa in my mod will always have a female settler, the only such a one in the mod - to keep it truly unique)

 

[ShiroKobbure]

You mean is it possible for a civ to create male settler unit and a female settler unit?
It should be, but I don't know how the AI will choose.

 

[Ares de Borg]

50/50 if the values are the same.

 

[Wolfshade]

You mean is it possible for a civ to create male settler unit and a female settler unit?

I mean, according to your post there'll be a Yamato female settler in your ancient pack. So is there any chance you will create a Yamato male settler too (it's not a request, it's just a question)?

 

[Steph]

Instead of having settlers created by autoproduction via buildings, we could have "baby settler" created when a male and female settler are both present in the same city

 

[Ares de Borg]

Haha, wouldn't it be great.

 

[Jerry'sGoldfish]

congratulation steph. very bold idea indeed. and maby more types of settlers - nobleman, with his own caracteristics of movement and so on, a villager settler, townsperson settler...overall great idea indeed.

 

[ShiroKobbure]

Here's something new,
I've never made modern, or gun units before. But if there's no complaints, I think I can make a lot. I have a list of about 30 or so modern units I want.

I shouldn't have chosen the one with a bayonet, but there is flash coming out of the rifle each time it fires. Each attack has about 3 shots.

Anyone care to guess what they are?

Spoiler :

 

[T-mun]

Bjornlo had made some helmet props that have never been put into use, maybe you would want to use them. That would be great Also the previews are nice, even though I couldn't name even one of them. Is the last one part of the chinese red army ?

 

[Quinzy]

Maybe a bigger gun flash to make it more visible?

 

[Ares de Borg]

Chinese, Pakistani, Vietnamese units? I first thought the 1st unit would be JDF, but then there's the AK so I guess it's Chinese? 2nd one could be North Korean.

 

[Ares de Borg]

Oh, if I can make a suggestion: Would you like them when firing from the kneeling position? NavyDawg made some of his units do so, and it's a nice touch.

 

[smirnoff]

Anyone care to guess what they are?

I ll give a try

All of them are Chinese Soldiers or North Korean Soldiers except the 5th picture , Indian Soldier and perhaps the 4th and 6th could be Vietnam Soldiers
As far of speaking of Spec Force , 3rd pic or 1st could be

How i know, i was drinking(TEA,of course) with them ...oh wait that was in my dreams

You should improved the position of the rifle when firing. For aiming shot the but of the rifle should be higher, against the shoulder, not just below it!
Or if you prefer non-aiming shot, but the rifle lower, at the hips.

My guess:
- Not sure. Looks like British camo, but with a FN-FAL?
- Chinese infantry
- Chinese marines
- North vietnam infantry
- Indian infantry
- Vietcong
