I haven't. If you're looking for French planes, I'v made a Nieuport 17 and Spad XIII and I have a Breguet 14 bomber. There's also a Caudron GIII in the works.

I'm afraid my allotted civ time is all filled at the moment, but if you're prepared to wait I may have a go.

Hey Fairline . . . .

I was just wondering, have you ever created any steamship graphics? If so, I would sure like to see them.

I really like all the superb graphics that show up on these threads, and every designer adds that much more to the well we all drink from, but your stuff is very good.

I've thought once or twice about revamping some of the graphics for Imperialism 1870. If you've got anything that you think might look good, by all means let me know.

[fairline]

I haven't, Exile. Just for my own amusement I did make up a unit graphics file for Imperialism 1870 some time ago which you're welcome to look at - there may be one or 2 things you like enough to use. BTW, I do this with all the scenarios I enjoy playing, and it's no reflection on the quality of the original units - I just enjoy making up alternatives.

No worries . . .

It's cool, Fairline. Henrik did the same thing to my old scen Modern Age. He even sent me the unit mix gif. I've still got it. lol. I do the same thing sometimes. I sure would be interested in seeing your unit mix for Imp1870. I think that my email is easy enough to locate. If it's not here on ACS, then it should be in any of my scen readme files at the very end of the document. Go ahead and send the file--I'm curious.

Secondary statement; Oddly enough, I am conscious of the fact that I tend to utilize older, even default graphics in some cases. Not sure why I feel the need to explain this, but I will anyway. Sometimes, and with certain unit graphics, it's the graphic itself that is the source of inspiration. For example, at one point, I liked the musketeer, galleon, and frigate units. However, I found that I rarely built or used these units in the default game--the tech race just moved too fast to waste time building these units. By the time I was able to put together a good-sized fleet or army, they were on the verge of going obsolete. Dissatisfaction. Frustration.

Time to re-make the game just the way I want it to play.

Allard, here are the Maxim and Camel Corps trooper for Riverwar:

Edit: forgot to mention the camel is a Case / Morten Blaajberg creation and I've pinched it from Boco's fantastic El Aurens scenario (with his permission )

I was wondering G, could you mod your cool maxim to a Vickers MG?

[curtsibling]

I would like to make a request to the honourable Fairline!

Could I ask for 3 American 1860s units?

Just a Union troop, a cavalry rider and a sword-waving officer?

I'd be much obliged!

[curtsibling]

@Fairline:

Whoops!

Just noticed you have already made the infantry and horseman!

Would you be able to let me use them?

Any chance still of doing me the sword-using officer on foot?

[Art of War]

could someone color Fairline's E.III Eindecker plane army green for me, and paint some French Airforce circles on the wings?

Go for it Curt. I'll do the officer

Thanks, fairline!

Awesome, man. Your use of that texturing method has yielded excellent results.

[fairline]

Excellent use of Catfish's texure turorial Tech

I've given the Imperialism 1870 version 1 units the version 2 treatment for those playing PBEMs with the original:

Any chance for a units gfx upgrade for AoW?
