To rename the units for a MOD you need to create a directory in Art\Units with the new unitname. From the old directory copy the ini-file. Rename it to the new name and edit app paths in it to be ..\OldUnitName\Pathinfile.

The atached zip gives an example of the files needed to play with Samurai renamed to Crusader

	Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I am currently working on an attempt to better my previous version. All will have an UU that makes sence.
I am also thinking about remodelling the eras, but I'm not sure how to call them. I think something like this (years are ones in real history):
4000 BC - 1000 BC: Bronze ages, Agricultural ages, Precatastrophe ages, Dark ages.
1000 BC - 800 AD: Iron Ages, Commercial ages, Postcatastrophe ages, Roman ages.
800 AD - 1850 AD: Middle Ages, Enlighted Ages, Muslim ages, Theological Ages.
1850 AD- 2000 AD: Industrial Ages, Modern Times.

Suggestions are welcome.

This is a picture of the first age in my yet to appear next version.

The heli you see is actually a compound bowman, I already fixed that.

Here is the Iron Age for my next version.
The Construction tech will not lead to Great Wall. That will mean that it doesn't have the same spot partially in the tech tree as Currency.
Could someone tell me the Latin word for turtle. I know the Romans used that for the Legions. For now I have just called the tech Turtle Tactics.

Latin for “turtle” is testudo (plural testudines).

Thanks for the testudo.
Here are the Enlighted Ages. I didn't think it should be called Middle Ages, because there are only two techs that are medieval.

I'm balancing right now and testing. Iraq, Russia and Ethiopia are out. Mittani (ancient Syria), Median Empire (ancient Kurdistan) and Lydia (West-Anatolia) are new... Could somebody give me ideas for the Lydian UU.

This is what the map will look like. It's 140 x 210

Where do I extract all of these files to?

Extract them in the Civ3 directory.

Types of files:
\art\units\Recurved Bowman\Recurved Bowman.ini
becomes
C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization 3\art\units\Recurved Bowman\Recurved Bowman.ini
etcetc
\scenarios\middle east 2.0a.bic
becomes
C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization 3\scenarios\middle east 2.0a.bic

Speaks for itself basically...

There is a glitch with the wonders. when I finish building the fresco palace, the games causes an error in the civ3.exe and the gasme shuts off.

That's odd... To tell you the truth, I have never finished building the Frescoe Palace. But I'll look to it.

I've fixed it, I think. Tomorrow I will post it, along with a few other fixes. In the version 2.1

Anyway, the new update will include the Phalanx and Camel graphics. That is more realistic than the usage of Rider graphics and it will be more logic that you need iron for the Hoplite (which will now be called phalanx, historically incorrect because phalanx are 16 hoplites, but who cares?)
