@EuropeanFury - dumb scenario maybe ... but could be fun

Good luck with this scenario

thanks for that. i downloaded utahjazz's unit creation tutorial, but could not understand what the hell it was saying (i also downloaded most of the programs it said to). could some one tell me of a freeware program that does 3D rendering? thanks.

Utahjazz7's tutorial is geared towards Poser. Most of what he talked about will work with other programs too, but some will require some adaption.

I am not sure if it works for you, but it got mentioned by some unit creators. Try POV-Ray. It is free, fast, quite easy to learn and has a large community. You will find lots of usefull stuff for it on the net. I use it to create animation, molecule graphics, logos .... and my 'secret' toy... Lego buildings

Small programming skills (eg. Pascal, C, PHP....) are not mantatory but will help to get along

One wonder in your mod should be "the white album" .. no idea what is is good for other then culture

I am planning to open a small website soon, with the full extent of all wonders, units, etc. that I will need for this. However, I was rewatching Yellow Submarine yesterday, and I had a question for potential players of this. Would it be better to have one giant game for this, or a bunch of minor ones? (ie, Sea of Holes, Save Ringo, etc.)

Sadly the history of the majority of these creation projects shows that ... the grander the plan, usually result in incomplete, stalled or threads in coma ... therefore I suggest an achievable scenario which then has the potential for expansion ...

damn you fe3333au! you were right! i quit! i'm now just making a hippy scenario. you have to take over the town from the war machine or the hippys. shold be done by october 1

Hippies sound great ... could I suggest that you check out the Escape from Zombie Island thread which is found in the Scenario's section ... sounds similar in execution to what you want to achieve ... good luck Jr.
