Workers of the World!

Just ask NavyDawg for his chainsaw animation he used on his Ash unit. He probably has it, he usually holds on to his animations.

 

[Plotinus]

That's a good idea. Well, I'll consider it then. Once I've posted the final three workers from this batch, there are a pile of other things I want to do before I make any more workers (not least a big collection of settlers, to match the workers), but I'll keep that one on the list for when I do make some more.

 

[joeskip]

WOW! Just returned to Civ Fanatics after a long hiatus, thought I would do some lurking, and was so impressed I had to post. Can't wait for the final three.

 

[Keroro]

I'm pretty sure it was William Gladstone, who managed it for an exhausting two years before the strain proved too much even for him. However, Gordon Brown isn't going to be doing both at the same time (he actually mentioned Gladstone's achievement in a speech not long ago, and said it was a feat no-one should try to replicate!).

Got it in one Plotinus, nice one.

It was my understanding that Gordie was keeping the Chancellor job until his first cabinet was announced, but I take your point. There's certainly no way that you could compare Gladstone and Brown's achievements on that front.

Regarding the Monarchy - personally I feel more or less the same about it as the church of England. We shouldn't necessarily decapitate or defenestrate them, but constitutionally I see no reason for them to be given so much attention.

 

[Virote_Considon]

And I'm one of those guys who would rather die than loose our Monarchy.

 

[BadKharma]

Could you make a Modern worker w/ a chainsaw?

There allready is one I forget who made it though.

 

[Virote_Considon]

Rufus T. Firefly made it

EDIT: Here

 

[Plotinus]

That's a good cut and paste unit actually - I don't think I'd spotted that before. Lets me off the hook with this one anyway.

 

[Exoticpollution]

Baldwin was actually the last to do both but only for a brief time in the 1920s when he first became PM. Although Salisbury was Foreign Secretary while he was PM of course. That was also a rather demanding job back then.

 

[BadKharma]

Rufus T. Firefly made it

EDIT: Here

Thanks virote you have a mastery for knowing where things are.

 

[Plotinus]

Three new units are on the front page, and I think I just about beat Gordon Brown, at least officially, although I wish I hadn't mentioned it now since it was an invitation to go OT...

Anyway, as I said, these will be the last for a while although no doubt I'll produce a few more at some point. But I will post the animations I used in the animations thread so other people can have a go too.

 

[Rm80]

not sure what to say so I say congratulation on the best and most useful pack of units thats ever been done imo. The new ones are great.

 

[Partizanac]

@Plotinus can you please make at least some of the workers from the Balkan Wars

 

[Gen. Rommel]

Man Plotinus, that Germanic worker is absolutely brilliant! He's exactly how I had imagined a Germanic worker in my head. This is most probably my favorite one of the whole pack (not to say the others aren't good as well). This guy is going to be pounding the Roman/Germanian border in all of my civ games now!

By the way, I could've sworn I saw that guy in the Gladiator!

The otherw two workers also look awesome man. I'm especially glad you decided to make the Vietnamese worker, finally the Southeast Asian civs have someone to do their dirty work. This worker set is so freakin' sweet!

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Got almost every part of the world covered now, just need a Zulu worker.

 

[Steph]

Those are great!

I may miss a few for my mod, but with that I can already work a long time adding new flavoured civilizations before betting "blocked"

You'll probably have finished a few dozens more by then

 

[Plotinus]

Thanks for the comments!

[Gen Rommel] I really liked the image you linked to for the Germanic Worker, so I tried to make the closest I could. This goes to show that if you really want a unit to be made, providing good concept art will vastly increase your chances.

 

[CamJH]

Now you're just making the rest of us unit creators look lazy.

 

[LMR]

Better get on with it then Unky Cam

Regarding the monarchy issue, Australia had a referendum in 1999 to see whether we would become a republic with a president appointed by the parliament.

the "no" vote won with 54.4% of the vote.

 

[Chuggi]

Wow you make me wish that I still played civ3 These are all great!
