Desired Units Wishlist

[Internationalist]

Since there has been rumours that they might ship a library of units(or just different variations for the scenarios) with Civ3 or an upcoming expansion, which ones would you like? We're talking shadows,animation and everything else.
My list:
American cowboy(2 pistols or whinchester rifle),
Braves(not the Iroquois -semiconfirmed by screenshot), *
*= semiconfirmed by screenshot is the 2nd(sioux?) braves, obviously not a stupidly called "iroquis" unit Isaac!We already know the 1st one is in.
V1/V2 german missiles,
Mohican infantry(armed with tomahawk),
Biplane(semi-confirmed by screenshot),
Conquistador,
SR-71 spyplane,U2 spyplane, F-22, JSF, Su-27/31, F-16, Mig 35,
Su-47, Ninja, Thibetan Monk(with staff, Diablo Hellfire like),
Slinger(Ancient/Medieval), Evzone unit(Greek military unit of early 20th century), Scotish infantry(wearing traditional kilt{hope I didn't got that wrong}),
T-82 russian tank/armor, Elephant Archers, Knight(with mace), Trebuchet, Camel rider.
Fictional: Minotaur(with sword) , Centaur(with bow), Cyclops(w/ club), Hydra, Atlantean submariner, Skeleton warrior, Elven archer, Dwarven Axeman, Grey alien( alone with weapon).

Do you mean that the designers are doing graphics for custom units? What kind of unit abilities are in (jeez im dumb ).
Well, if something has to be said... here comes:
Jedi knights
Stormtroopers
TIE and X-wing fighters

You see my point (going for the mod )

[Internationalist]

If you think of it, they did that with FW in civ2. Why not do it again, since they seem to have an apreciation for scenario designers(after all scenarios kept the game extremely popular untill these days). Harlan Thompson(at least I think) indicated there might be a library of units. I'm just taking it further.

[Yog-Sothoth]

Anti aircraft gun
Missile sub
Attack sub
A bunch of WW2 tanks and planes:
Tiger I & II, Panther, PZKW I-IV, Char B, Matilda I & II, T34 etc

Spitfire, Messerschmith, Hurricane, Moscito, Mustang etc

[hetairoi22]

Mounted Archers
Tercio (armed w/ pike and musket)
Longbowmen
Ballista
Rocket Launcher
Cameleers (armed with that bowed swords (what's it called?))
Turtle Ship (cannon in the dragonhead up front)
Funky Saxophonist
Janissaries (w/ composite bow or musket)
Some Maya unit
Some Malian unit

Ideally, they should make a library that includes just about any conceivable unit for any SF, fantasy or historical scenario that could be made. That way, everyone should be able to create the scenarios they have in mind, without having to worry about creating appealing graphics.
I don´t think I´ve ever seen custom units for AoE/AoK, for instance. The AoE graphics probably are impossible to edit in the first place, but there were quite a few extra units included.

OTOH, providing all the graphics could reduce the creativity of Civ3 scenario-makers.

[Mannamagnus]

I think a terrorist should be in.

[Sandman]

Airships.
Chinese battlefield fireworks.
Headhunters.
Icebreakers.
Early tanks.
Ekranoplans (weird soviet sea planes).
Rumoured ancient greek mirror array to burn invading ships.
Pocket battleships.
Early jets.
V3- Hitlers ultimate weapon, a giant gun with which to bombard London.
Mini-submarines.
Snow-mobiles.

Maybe you should try playing CtP.

I would like to see something like a Mech unit or other speculative fiction units - things that you could use to make an extended play scenario into the future.

Also, I would like to see some religious units that might convert other units or the same. Not the same as was implements in CTP though - more like an ancient druid or perhaps a Jesus unit. Do you think Firaxis could get away with making a Jesus unit?

[Sandman]

I thought some of those things might be in CtP but that was a risk I was prepared to take. Surely the Ekranoplan wasn't in it?

V3 was a giant gun. It was just never finished, but had it been completed, it was meant to fire a shell at London every six minutes. Just another of Hitlers crazy schemes.

Housed in a underground complex, it would have been completely immobile, so I guess it's more of a terrain improvement.

[General Ludd]

Sorry, I just thought that alot of your suggestions where pretty silly.

Some of them sounded like something you'd find in CtP, which had alot of 'silly' units.

EDIT: After reading the rest of the posts I guess my original post should apply to everyone in here.

[Col Bigspear]

Biplanes
WW1 era tanks
Zepplins

I would also like to see Missle Silos, Subpens(Subs cannot be destroyed when city has subpens, apart from a land army attack).And a new wonder SOSUS sub net. (show all enemy subs within a number of squares of you coast)

[Admiral PJ]

Pirates must be in !
have a Buccaneer pirate unit (the worst of them all , and french
)

i've put them in my new Scenario for civ2:TOT , and they rule, literally- they're pretty powerful with attack 3 def 2 hp2 fp2 ! and move over terrain as road (for 4 squares) and avoid enemy zones(can move next to enemies)

email peter@artpac.demon.co.uk if your interested in trying out my scenario, its nearly fully playtested and finalised now, with new units and wonders/improvements across the history of earth!
