Anyways If any wants to help out with some of the units of "CTP2: The way Civ3 should of been" I'll post some here.

I'll give it a go. If you want to just post the animation of the units, I'll hack them out as well if needed.

The animations are surprisingly hard to get the script correct for, it took me thousands of attempts to get my battering ram to have both attack and death animations So here is the script file I used.

Here is the first set of the Aegis Cruiser, there are three more (fidget, Default, Run). I'll try to get all civ3 units up over the weekend.

I'm beginning to think this could take a while...
We have:
Movement
Attack
Death
Idle
Action animations, each with 16 frames in each direction...

5*5*16 = 400 per unit. + 400 shadows

Ouch.

Got the ships expect the unit icons and grate library script to be here in Jan.

and wombat it could be worse we could have to draw the pics with me doing the icons and you two starting on the sprites if we get are selves organized it won't take that long. It just may be one of the longest running threads in the history of apolyton that's all. just wait till I get all the units the icons wont take too long.

Resources, units & trading

IMO, the biggest thing Civ3 has going for it is the fact that strategic resources are needed to build certain units, and that if you don't have 'em, you can get 'em by trading. It adds a great strategic tension to the game, and makes plundering raids very worthwhile.

Aside from the above, CtP2 (heck, even CtP1) has a lot more to offer than Civ3.

If you SLICsters could get something like this going for CtP2, that would be awesome!
