Some more early 18th century units...

[typhoon]

Some one should make a War of the Spanish Succession scenario

[curtsibling]

Some fine units, chaps!

Shall we scenarios with these?

Well, they don't fit the timeframe of my Sobieski scenario, but maybe those grenadiers could be a nice placeholder graphic until I figure out what a late 17th century Polish bomb-thrower looks like...

[civ2units]

Thanks guys.
My work were only copy and paste some uniforms from the units and colored them. I never could paint so good units.

Currently I´m working on a European Napoleonic scenario for TOT. Because they don´t fit these era I couldn´t use them.

@GhostOfDisco:
I´ve found this uniform type for a Polish Grenadier, early 18th century. Maybe you can use it for your scenario.

[GhostOfDisco]

@civ2units: Thanks. They'll do, unless someone can show me that Sobieski-era grenadier looked different than that. (Maybe they wore different hats or something. I dunno.) Anyway, Sobieski died in 1696, so you're units are closer to the time period than the Napoleonic-era guys you get if you google "Polish grenadier."

Anyways, great job! (Hey, even my graphics are, in the end, usually manips of fairline's (or someone else's) work! )

[civ2units]

The unit graphics I posted are from Fairline. I only changed the colour and copy and paste some items of the uniform.

Still, thanks.

Something I wipped up last night - the great Haitian liberator, Touissant l'Overture:

[GhostOfDisco]

And the BMP:

[Iskandar]

The name is not Touissant l'Overture but Toussaint L'Ouverture

[curtsibling]

Cool unit all the same!

[Gagliaudo]

nice, indeed... There is a quite old civ2 scenario called "Toussaint l'Ouverture"

[GhostOfDisco]

An Armchair General article on Andrew Jackson inspired me to make some War of 1812 units.

First, the preview:

[GhostOfDisco]

Then, the usable bmp...

So, you've provided the perfidious invaders - where are the heroic defenders?

Well, here's a Voltigeur, though I think the grey is a bit too dark...

[GhostOfDisco]

And the BMP...
(If anyone has any info on the uniforms of other Canadian militia during the War of 1812, I'd love to see it)...

I am trying to make a PBEM friendly version of Prometeus' Zhan Guo Quest for TianXia. I have already copy and pasted the units Fairline created for Winterfritz's 'All Under Heaven' but I am lacking a few charecters and other units.

I was hoping there are a few more Chinese units floating about that people may post up and help me out

This is how far I have got with the unit file so far:

[techumseh]

I didn't know they had cigarettes in the Warring States period.

[McMonkey]

OOPS

Slight continuity error, like the extras wearing digital watches in ancient epic films!

You know that whole "Zheng He went to America" theory? Turns out the Chinese crossed the Pacific long before that...

[Turno]

Nice units MCmonkey.

Nice someone stiil works on my old scenarios, since i've moved to TOT my Zhanguo renewal project.

[McMonkey]

I did not know you were Prometeus

I really liked the look of this scenario and as always I like to modify things a bit. Fairlines Chinese units were so stunning that I just had to put them in.

I guess the PBEM will be one very good player as the Ch'in against everyone else. If you have any tips on what I may need to do to make it compatable with the PBEM format then I would be happy to listen.

At Civ Webring we have started playing through games through to see if it is suitable for PBEM and working out what needs changing. At the moment we are testing Casus Belli and Sieze the Crown which are both working very well as multiplayer games. I would like to try out Zhan Guo and Darth Veda's Sengoku Jidai too!

Here is a screenshot of the graphics mod:

[Turno]

My Zhanguo original scen covered fro the Han annextion to C'hin to the fall of Ch'i. To make it more challenging i reduced the C'hin land at the time, otherwise it was not going to be a challenging one, you see. My restyle TOT version is going to cover from 403 BC, the year Chin, the former Springs and Autumns superpower, was torn apart and divided between the three families of Chao, Han and Wei. Have you checked for this game? It gave me a lot of good graphics. Take a look.

Oh, BTW, if you haven't checked my previous thread, also take a look here.
Go and search for it, there are many more links in that thread.

Great! When will it be available?

[Turno]

I have to redefine events, fix some cities locations and finally to translate it from italian to a passable english.

An ox wagon and a limitaneus unit from my aborted Britannia romana scen.

[Gagliaudo]

really nice Turno, I really love that ox wagon !

Sorry you didn't keep on the Brit scen... There's only one scen (vanilla graphics...) about Roman Britain (except Arthur's scenarios), and I don't like it!
