Don't bow out of the sprite-making business - your efforts are much appreciated.
May I humbly suggest you bow out of the business of checking the ratings in the Apolyton lists! They're pretty much meaningless.
Am I the only person who really, really dislikes them? If they're actually starting to discourage our valiant mod & sprite makers from their trade, then maybe a rethink might be in order.

NO!!!!
come on man, you cant quit because of an idiot!
first of all, it's only one vote.
second it actually is 4.5 now with 2 votes(the second is not mine  )
three, look at the Apolyton Pack: it's the mix of what we call "the best of the best", and it has a 7 rating with 40 votes! not 1, not 2, but 40 votes! I mean, if cd's mod is an 8, why AP is a 7?
four, dont just look at the rating. see that the same file has almost 400 downloads(in 5 weeks, 80 downloads per week)! just like the apolyton pack has over 5000. either just can't be so bad, can it???

Well, I don't vote for such things normally, but I'd give at least a nine for your early spy.
Really.

Morgoth,
No, don't stop. Everybody in the mod business appreciates what you do. Don't pay attention to some guy that wants to make himself feel good by giving you a bad rank. Besides that, (sorry Markos & Dan) not many people actually pay any attention to it, so you shouldn't either. And if you MUST look at it, understand that just a few people voting is not going to give you any kind of accurate judgement.

I think it'd be cool to have units that look like
A 19th century professor
a Hindu priest
a Catholic Bishop
a witchdoctor type
a Buddhist monk
an improved horse archer
Also, I'm having a problem. I cannot find the sounds for two units, and the game keeps crashing. How do I find them, when I think that they've been compressed into sounds.zfs. Help!
Thanks for sticking around, BTW!

Katy is working on a Mongol horse archer type unit so that should do as the new horse archer unit.
Not sure about the other units as they aren't 'combat' type units.
Sorry but I haven't looked into the sound files so I'm not sure where they are kept.

Morgoth,
While you are on the subject of ships, how about an 'attack hovercraft'? (Technically, I guess it is not a ship.) I started using them in Civ2 and want to introduce them to CTP but have yet to see a hovercraft graphic that I wanted to use.

I'm glad you threat turned out to be a hoax, Morgoth, or I was going to write you a nasty letter.
Anyway, I have written you in the past about what *I* would like to see as far as new units.
One new thing, though. Would Katy be willing to strip (the armor off the Noble Cavalry) for us?
(Maybe *this* will get her to post on the forums.)
If she *is* willing to strip for us, I would put her (unit) in a new edition of the Medieval Mod, and also the Modern mod.
The unarmored cavalry would go into the Jav. Cav.'s current position, and I would move the Jav. Cav. into the Mounted Archer's position.
And remember, no nasty emails.

Skorpion59 - Can you send me an example of the type of Hovercraft you were thinking of ie the units file from CIV2.
I'll see what I can do.
WesW - If we strip the armour off the cavalryman you would end up with a similar one to the Javelin Cavalry but with a shield is that what you want?
Tim - I was thinking of doing a medieval Bombard. I'll see about adding a new Catapult after but the AOE one that the existing catapult sprite was made from is quite good.

Stabbing spear or throwing spear ie like the Javelin Cavalry but with a shield or like the heavy cavalry without armour? I don't really know of an equivalent to the former as the armour tended to come in before the shield (at least in the Greek/Successor style armies).
I agree a WW1 style infantry is required and a WW1 Tank.

If you're talking combat units, depending on upcoming mods and whether or not I find the time to make my own (mod, that is...):
Early Balloon
Derigible
Mounted Elephant
Chariot
Barbarian (Gothic or Hunnish) - I was thinking that perhaps it's possible for an early unit to be made that only the barbarian civ could get...
War dog and handler

What sort of units do you think we need more of? I was going to have ago at a couple of naval units next. I've sort of half done a Cog (Medieval boat - well the AVI file is done anyway) and I was then thinking of doing an ACW style Ironclad. Anybody got any deas or preferences after that?
