Possible new units

[Pedrunn]

The space units he made are fantastic and are included in the space scenario (some borg ships and all Khri Threen ones).
Check this page of the scenario

I tried the axeman and the Priest both had no animation (although the priest uses a skirt that make is dont need animation). Dont know the others though.

The trade chart is just like the carvan. Just the picture.

I think the units you’re referring to, is actually part of Alper Saracoglu’s unit pack. You can find them in the Apolyton directory here.

The quality of most is okay, but they’re not animated if I remember correctly.

ToT units, important ones

From left to right:

Partisan, Alpine Troops, Fanatic, Barbarian Leader

If you want looking at these pics some may be animated as animation could be easy because they are basically flaying.

Possible new future unit alert

Hay found some info. I read this at the bottom of a page on the civ3 web site.

Enhanced Scenario Editor, including new unit and tile sets lets players construct a Scenario from any time period

I cant wait

I am so looking forward to "Play the World" Civ3 expansion pack


So that we can rip out all the good stuff it has do offer and put it into Call to Power 2


I might even download it

Just to beggin I wanted to make a Schnorkel U-boat unit.
That is for my WW2 scenario.
The reson for this unit is that germans where trying to built such a sub since 1942. It was supposed to help them to win the battle of Atlantic, maybe the most important battle of all since from it were depending the battles of Russia, North Africa, England, even the invasion of Europe, in June 1944.
Donitz, the Commander of the Reich's Kriegsmarine (Did I write it right?) wanted or many u-boats, over 300, or the Schnorkel u-boats, in order to win the battle of Atlantic.
Fortunately, for us ( Immagine Apolyton In Deutch, Altavisten, Der Yahoo, Porn films in German!) he didn't have this number of subs till 1943, and by that time the allies had the technology to win anyway. The Schnorkel was a system that gave air to the diesel engine of the sub, so it didn't had to use the batteries underwater. That was a great advantage since the batteries didn't last long, and couldn't give much power, so the u-boats had to be slow and get on the surface often. Many u-boats were destroyed will they were recharging the batteries.
The schnorkel device was ready by the summer of '44, but just about there the german army lost the ports in France and the new u-boats were not more useful.

What do you think of the Schnorkel U-boat I want to build?

Very cool nova !

But what will it look like and how will it look different from a normal submarine of that period?

Porn films in German!)

well, his name was Dönitz and the schnorkel is a Schnorchel, besides of that no spelling mistakes

but what do you dislike about german pornfilms?

[nova]

Ooh, come on now I am just going to use one of the subs you can find in the collection of WW2 units, then you will just have to learn how the new unit is going to look like.

Thanx prince, I actually knew that about Donitz, but I still can't find the correct way to write it!

Well I have nothing against german porn films, they are solid, simple and efficient I just remembered of an american porn doubled (did I write it right?) with German.

Horrible!

[Caranorn]

Well, you could write Doenitz to replace the š (bet that doesn't appar right on the web). I for one never bother about changeing German special characters to oe, ue or ae exception being ss of course, but that character has been struck anyhow if you go by the newest gramatics).

For the rest, I think the schnorchel subs were still quite effective, just too late and too few. And while the loss of french bases was a pain for the KM, they still could use the norwegian ones (not as ideal for certain targets, better for others). And of course the principal of schnorchel subs was carried over to other navies after the war.

And as a close thanks to our Russian friends for sticking it out throughout the war under dreadfull conditions and kicking the NAZI's out.

Good news

Cool, PTW for civ3 adds a new unit i quote

Guerillas are now also available to all players after the discovery of Replaceable Parts. Guerillas are basically cheaper, slightly weaker infantry that don't require any strategic resources.

Woohoo there we have our Partisan. Although if we get resources like in civ3 we could also use it as a Guerilla (and appears like a partisan from conquered cities)

[nova]

Chieftain, the only thing I could say is that I agree 100%, for the subs and for the Russians.

Russian soldiers had to fight a kind of war the rest of the world didn't witnessed. When the germans arrived in greece, Hitler personally gave the order so the greek prisoners of war be escorted back to their cities, and to be permitted to the officials to keep their swords.

In France the Germans respected the population and the orders were to byu and not to steal.

When the German Hedquarters were planning the invasion in USSR, Hitler said that since russia never signed the treaty for the prisoners of war, the russians shouldn't be treated as the rest.

Millions of russian soldiers died during the war as prisoners and that was one of the major mistakes of Hitler: hundrends of thousand of soviet soldiers were surrending to the germans at the beggining of the war, but when they found out the way prisoners were treated they prefered dying than give up.

A big mistake thinking also that the soviet citizens hated their communist leaders and at the begging of the war germans were more a liberating force than enemies. The way germans treated the soviet citizens, transformed them to enemies.

A big mistake.

Had a few hours spear at the week end. So stole the hot air balloon of the ms scenarios and made it into a unit spr file for you.


Enjoy

I like the balloon; it looks really good. Good work. But it’s not quite a military unit – a little too colourful. If it could be grey, or khaki, it would be near perfect.



Maybe a new unit. An “Emperor’s balloon”! You only get one after you’ve achieved a certain score. And the politicians provide the hot air.

Maybe not.
