I like the truck, but I'm afraid it won't be as nice inside civ. You see, you have to keep the unit within the frame of the purple diamond. Everything that is within the purple area will be cut away (like the one in #3). And you must also use the colour palette of civ, which you hadn't.

Hope this helped, ct!

Darn, I forgot about the diamond shape at the bottom (Freeciv has this too). Oh well, who needs an extra wheel anyway?

Post Cold War Russian infantry

Say, I'm remodelling a Cold War European scen right now and plan to set East and West Berlin as two separate cities with one space between them. Could someone please craft me a Berlin Wall unit to fill that space, if you could? Thanks!

I´d be looking for a MH-60 Blackhawk and a MH-6 Little Bird and a standard US Army 5ton Truck, preferrably fairline style ... anyone has those units to spare for me?

[typhoon]

Does it have something to do with a certain Black Hawk Down?

Great looking infantry

@ Typhoon: I thought about that, yes, though that street thing didn´t work out properly

[typhoon]

I was doing a little pondering about it myself. Originally I thought that the streets were sea and the Blackhawks transports, but that wouldn't work. Maybe you could make the streets ground terrain, the Blackhawks tranports with the paratrooper capability, and using airbases in safe locations as "LZs". The crash sites could be simulated by cities, far away enough to be unreachable by MH-60s. The lLittle Birds as fighter units, and the trucks just used to represent the captured Somalis. With your skills, I'm sure you could make a great scenario

Rambling aside, here is an updated J-8II Finback, modified from tanelorn. A flying turd to start with, it was made worse when rendered into Civ by me

Excellent Typhoon

Nice mod!

Excellent fighters Typhoon. Every year the graphics for this game just get better and better, it still amazes me after nine years of playing this game.

Bah, its tanelorn's work, all of it

Just like this is all Steph's work, South African CSH-2 Rooivalk gunship

Hey all, just thought I'd say thanks for all the wonderful units you guys have put together. Some of us have literally zero aptitude when it comes to that kind of thing, so we gladly bask in the trickle down of your collective works!

I do have one question though, for the military buffs here. Don't worry, it's not a unit request, and I'm not too hopeful of a positive answer, it is a pretty obscure request...

Does anyone have any idea of, or access to any sources on, the current (or recent, say since '91?) composition of the Angolan Air Force and Navy? (I'm of course refering to the Government, not rebel forces) Or does anyone know somewhere where some people might know (ie: another forum?). I'm working on a scenario for a naval game, and can't seem to find any sources on it (barring Janes, but of course few can fork out for it...) Any help would be most appreciated.

i'll take a look,
i'm usually good at finding things like that.
