The Rockwell B1-B "Lancer"
==========================

This bomber is one of my favorite aircraft.
A heavy conventional bomber fits well into the modern era. I know a few versions of the Lancer already exist but I still wanted to make my own version with darker palette.
The unit uses sounds of original Civ3 units but there is also one custom sound included.
I call the bomber as "Supersonic Bomber" in the game. Same name was used by Plastic Bag earlier but I really dont know a better name for it. Cheers to PB for the name.
(update! hmm.. this unit is called "Strategic Bomber" in the DyP mod.. that sounds nice..) 

Package contents:

-The five main .FLC files		(updated v1.1)
-The INI file				(updated v1.1)
-Civilopedia small and large PCX icons	(updated v1.1)
-Small unit icon SSBunits32.pcx
-SSBBomb.wav
-SSBcivilopedia.txt

released: 27.5.2002 - 1.0
-------------------------
updated:  25.2.2003 - 1.1
-------------------------
The B1-B Lancer has reached version 1.1 roughly 10 months after the release. I have been quite busy for the last 8 months or so and now that I am on vacation I decided to tweak the unit a bit out of sheer boredom.
Not much has changed, but atleast the unit is now a bit better looking. Especially the shadows were totally reworked and main animations were fixed here and there. The INI file was made to use relative paths instead which saves up to 390kb of space.

If you have the OLD VERSION of the Lancer installed, you can just overwrite the old files with the updated ones. After that, you can safely delete the following files from the Lancer folder:

SSBAttack.amb
SSBDeath.wav
SSBRun.wav
StealthFighterAttackMissile.wav

Note : The file "SSBBomb.wav" is a custom sound and should not be deleted..

p.s. If you need help on installing the unit, check the Civfanatics or Apolyton forums
for up-to-date install guide. This updated unit has been tested on PTW 1.14f and I didnt encounter any problems. If you do however, drop me a mail.
