Another one
i think this one is the best out of the 3 i made
thanks to failine for making such a sweet me-262 that i used as a base

[Patine]

Thanks, typhoon and Erika! It's going to be tough deciding between them.

[Leonidas]

Very nice Erika

Erika:

For the B-24, use one of Nemo's B-24s, but it will need to be coloured silver for the Pacific.

Credit obviously goes to fairline for his Me-262 of course

you used the exact same base units as me
nice work!

[Leonidas]

Typhoon:

I missed your unit initially.

Just took a look at it - very nice work

btw, there are no silver B-24s anywhere in Civ2 world, so the first person to post such a unit will be the first one...

Plus, there are no shaded white Zeros anywhere...

[Jimmywax]

No silver Liberators Huh? I posted this about a year ago. I will work on it to update it and I will work on the Zero too.

[Leonidas]

heheh

You win the grand prize

Nice unit btw.

I had looked through all the units I had saved over the years and didn't see one.

Cheers!

@ Leonidas

Thank you. And here I was starting to think that nobody cared

Just kidding!

@ Erika

That's a right nice. I like the clean paint job- makes it easier to give it shading

@ Patine

I played with the shading a little bit. Here's v2 of the Kikka

[Patine]

Thanks a lot, guys (and girl)! When jimmy's done the B-24 and white Zero, I think I'll have all the units I need. Then I can really get down to the nitty-gritty of this scen.

One thing I truly appreciate is the hard work that goes into making unit graphics fior Civ2.

And your v2 is sweet

The graphics just keep getting better and better...

Cheers!
