Missing Links

[bigvic]

I see several missing links in civ III, in terms of units. The early game is entirely devoid of offensive naval units, which I easily fixed on my mod.

Other areas missing
1. Something in between muskateer & riflemen, like, maybe, grenadier, more offensive, you know.
2. Pre-dreadnought, btw ironclad & destroyer. Faster than Ironclad, slower than battleship, decent off/def/bombard
3. Commerce raider - improved privateer
4. Early tank. 12-6-2
5. Biplane Puny everything, attk/def/move/bombard, but something
6. dirigible. Blows up real good, but good range.
7. Attack helicopter.
8. SP artillery - same tech as tank, oil dependent
9. commandos - get road move bonus.
10. Fleets - naval armies why not

well, got to go, probably think of more later

For me the number and type of units is quite OK, but I found the fleet idea very good.

Given the leader doesn't drown while he swims round the globe to your nearest coastal city. Good idea though.

Of course!!

I am not so worried about missing links, but your ideas would add more debth to the game, and I am all for that!

Musket Infantry would come after musketmen: now armed with bayonets and faster-firing muskets.

Shock Troops: before tanks. Offensive infantry that the Germans first used in 1917.

Crossbowmen: all archers upgrade to that; longbowmen are English UU's.

Lots of other stuff. Go check the attached mod. Or check the LWC mod posted on this and other forums.
