Somthing cool!
When I was on the civ3 website I noticed that if you hold your mouse over the unit animations in civ of the week they will show you how the unit attacks! Some of you may already know but this is for those that don't...

Pay no attention to dudy. He hasn't had his coffee yet.

I didn't notice that before. Thanks Splangy.

You know I always thought Splangy had to be worth something... Splangy has finally proven why he/she (assuming he but I'm taking insurance) was born... To show people how to see Civ3 units attacking animations on civ3.com.

For something really cool go to the www.firaxis.com website.

They have new animations up for civ III. Very cool, using micromedia flash 5 or something. Anyone know how to download these?

Very cool.

Which one do you like best/least.

I'd say the Immortal looks good.

The Indian elephant is kind of boring.

Yep I agree with Tingkai on this one
IMHO
Most Impressive: Immortal
Least Impressive: War Elephant

Although, to be fair to the Indians, you really can't underscore how cool it is to have an elephant on your side.

I think the War elephant though will be a great advantage. The same prereqs, but you don't need any special resources for the unit. No horses, no iron.

Giving it a huge advantage over the typical knight unit, and even the chinese horseman.

I was surprised at how strong the defense was. But then again, think about it. Alexander had a terrible time beating the Elephants. He barely could kill them.

"War Elephant". Tis a cool name. Looks like a pretty cool unit as well, and quite unique, unlike some of the other "unique" units

Note on what spamming is.

Spamming would be posting on purpose merely to raise post count.

The person starting this thread was being genuine and some did not know that. So leave it be.

Sorry Tingkai and Monkspider, but i completely disagree with you both

Most impressive: War Elephant
Least impressive: War Chariot

I think the elephant looks good swinging its tusks around in a lethal fashion, whereas the chariot looks kinda silly, with the spear-point barely reaching past the 2 horses - who are just standing still...
