  • Fun things to do with the UU graphics at Civ3.com

    This should be interesting...

    1) Make them desktop items (Windows) and have the Elephant and Hoplite butt/poke an AOL icon.

    2) Make the desktop background a CivIII city view screenshot and assemble an army of Hoplites to defend against Immortals.

    Continue! If I get enough I'll hold a contest (well, poll) on which one is the best.

    I just did the same thing yesterday!

    Must be one of those things you do when you've waited to long for civIII.

    BTW you can vary your army by downloading both the attack and the fidget files!

            1) Enter the civ-of-week page

            2) Right click - View source

            3) Make a search for the file name - this can be tricky!

            Ex: Indian page: elephant_attack.gif and elephant.gif
            Ex: Babylonian page: bowman_attack.gif and bowman_fidget.gif
            (Persians: atak.gif/fidg.gif)

            4) Load the file by adding the path to www.civ3.com

            Ex: Indian page: Extract "civoftheweek/indians/elephant.gif" from the page, then go to www.civ3.com/civoftheweek/indians/elephant.gif

            5) Download it the fidget file!

            Please tell me if you have any trouble!

                    Thanks, Flil. I'm going to put a bunch of hoplites in phalanx formation fidgiting.

                    Get that icon outta there
                    Sadly I can't. My parents are hypnotized by AOL.

                    I put that mirrored elephant on the other side of the AOL icon. It looks really nice now. I've got to get an attacking elephant mirrored.

                    And how did you do that?

                      I tried to search for elephant.gif using the Find menu search but it didn't find that file. Is there another search I should use?

                      Must have fidgiting elephants!

                        I still find it - if I type "elephant.gif" in the 'Find what:' textbox in the 'Find' dialog you get from the 'Find...' menuitem from the menu 'Search'.

                        Anyway - if it's the only one, here it is:

                          This is only if you open the source in MS-Notepad of cause!

                          Alternatively you could just mirror the one dexter4dxm attached
