Actually, tanelorn, my old buddy!

Would you like to create me two nation-specific fighters for Africa and Australia?

The African would be desert camo and the Oz one in temperate camo...

I would be in your debt!

(anyone else wishing to give a try is welcome too!)

curtsibling · August 16, 2003, 08:26

I want to say thanks to everyone for their ideas!

It's really got me pushing ahead to implement them!

I want to have an african (HQ in SOuth Africa) puhsing north to and west to conquer the continent.
One they reach the Middle East and Europe, the real fun can start!

Also I like the idea of an Australian empire, pushing out from all directions to claim the surrounding islands, eventually clashing with the Pacific Alliance.

On top of this is the major war brewing between Germania and the UFA, with the Red Empire looking to expand too!

This is going to be a rather fun and mental scenario!

curtsibling · August 16, 2003, 08:27

Here is the most recent version of the units.
much thanks to fairline and tanelorn!

FiGu, I think that flag represents Australia, not Finland (The Southern Cross- see it?)

It's actually a drawing I did of the British 2nd Army tac sign

What will it represent in Vendetta Curt?

rmsharpe · August 16, 2003, 13:02

What about the green-white-red shields? Where are those from?

curtsibling · August 16, 2003, 13:44

I used fairline's 2nd army tac chevron, as a placeholder, just because I need a new Australian Fed flag and his shields rock!

The green, yellow and red symbol is that of the Pan-African Coalition!

curtsibling · August 16, 2003, 13:49

I am open to ideas on what the Australian nation symbol could be...

Fairline, would you be into giving me a hand?

I know that the small size of the shield doesn't give you much room for manouvere on this, but how aboutt he modern day Australian flag with a different symbol replacing the Union Jack?

The green, yellow and red symbol is that of the Pan-African Coalition!

Didn't notice the yellow until I looked at it a little more closely.

Secondly, Pan-African Coalition? Who's in it? Sounds like something Nasser or Qadaffi would try to do.

jim panse · August 16, 2003, 18:31

Tell me curt, would you mind lending me one unit?

tanelorn · August 16, 2003, 23:13

Just for fun, cause I just got back from the club...
There was this ancient Canadian plane that got scrapped because of politics, the Avro Arrow, I think. It would have put the Tomcat to shame... Sadly it would never appear in a civ scenario, otherwise. Mind if I take a shot at it???
Yes, I know I am exaggerating- or am I not?

I would suggest you call the Reichwehr => Reichswehr (including this "s" between "Reich" and "wehr" would be the correct german form).

Btw, I tried to create a Nimitz class carrier you might use ....

Of course!
Be my guest, Jim!

I will happily use your fine carrier, but it wil have to be a generic one...

As the USA already has quite a beast of a CV!

PS Your pointer about the Reichswehr is noted, with thanks!

Is 'Sturmwehr' grammatically OK?

Avro Arrow! Yep, there is a civ-3 custom unit of it!

Give it a try!

jim panse · August 17, 2003, 09:38

@ Curt: Sturmwehr is grammatically correct.

And thank you for the units!

curtsibling · August 17, 2003, 13:14

Cheers!

Palaiologos · August 17, 2003, 13:20

Ok curt, so how about giving us a detailed list of the civs(and their backgrounds)?

curtsibling · August 17, 2003, 13:37

I am considering whether to give make a third generic unit.

A really crap basic jet or copter, to go along with the non-major civ's tank and SP howitzer.

This would replace the not very useful generic infantry unit.
As every civ has it's own troops anyway.

I am inclined to go for a copter...Cheap and nasty.

Anyone care to suggest a unit graphic?

I'll get some data compiled for you!

Keep in mind this scenario is certainly not a historical excerise!

It's a global blast and nuke slug-out!

EZRhino · August 17, 2003, 15:44

I favor the elimination of all non-naval generic units. They usually just arent worth it. If you want the Africans to be able to build tanks, just give them access to tier1 Russian of German ones, and if every civ already has a UU infantry, then you are right, there is really no need for Generic infantry.

Edit: I miss the Ratte

Art of War · August 17, 2003, 16:10

so who are the leaders of the nations?

also, did the Holocaust play out after Hitler died?

curtsibling · August 18, 2003, 03:16

I am hopefully going to post my detailed run down of all empires today...stay tuned!

curtsibling · August 18, 2003, 03:48

@EZRhino:

I'd love to give all civs a tank plane and trooper, but the slots don't allow that.

So I am going to give it some more thought.

I am not happy with Australians and Africans zooming around in the hugely powerful Russian and German MBTs...

Art of War · August 18, 2003, 17:16

maybe you could pit the lesser nations against each other (ie, Australia expanding westward while the Africans are expanding eastward, and have the three major powers funding them with weapons and such..
