Cool!

What are the differences betweeen the different types of forest/ jungle-like vegetation? There appear to be 3 different kinds.

And post more screenshots please.

I see Forest, Jungle and Pine Forest.

Thank you very much!!! Do you know what kind of unit graphic replacing abilities there are... can you make your own 3-d units? what type of file can you browse for when you select to replace a unit image?

Thanks,

Thanks very much for the post.

When you click on the Unit Button that lists all the units - is there an "Extra Unit A" "Extra Unit B" "Extra Unit C" etc. etc. as there was in Civ 2 ?

Or are we truly limited to only that number of Units that came with the original game ? (And therefore to add extra we must delete some of the originals ?)

[Gramphos]

Do I see this right?

No add buuton on the unit screen?

[BeBMan]

Thanks for the editor screenshots But, yes, how can we add more units?

[Pezz]

Sorry guys, as far as I can tell, there is no easy way to add a new unit or new unit graphic--at least in the editor. There might be a way to do it by adding a folder under \Civ3\Arts\Units\. There are a number of folders under there that are named after the game's units, and in each folder there are a number of files, e.g.:

Volume in drive G is NTFS_VOL
Volume Serial Number is CCE1-CE1F

Directory of G:\Civ3\Art\units\Bomber

I tried simply creating a new folder and seeing if that would show up in the CivEditor, but it didn't.

So, there may still be a way, but it's not going to be easy.

[klesh]

They wouldn't...

leave out the ability to alter all the unit gfx would they?

They have confirmed that you can replace art with either your own animations or static 3d images, that was a long time ago.

Thanks for those info, Pezz

My main question is now to Firaxis: what is neccessary to edit gfx in *.flc format? This format is totally unknown to me...or is it an format for anims?
