	Adding a new city type and unique starting units Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Is it possible to add a new city type to the ones already in existence? I want to add a unique civ to a new Scenario that will have a city that looks completely different than any other - without losing any of the pre-existing styles.

Also this same Civ has completely unique units. The issue I am having is that at the start of the game it has the standard units defined in the General Settings Tab of the Editor. Is there any way to give a Civ its own, specific, unique starting units?

You can set unique starting units (and also determine the number of 'em) using the "Player Settings" menu; but you'll have to turn on Custom Players and set this unique civ in one of the player slots, which will lock the number of civs and also make the unique civ be included in every game. If you're making a scenario, that should be no prob; but if you're trying to make a more general mod, that will be a problem.

IIRC, new Civ culture groups (and thus new sets of city & citizen graphics) can't be added in yet; if you really want unique graphics for this civ, I think you'll need to use one of the existing culture groups (Mediterranean, Mid East, American, etc.) and delete/change civs that use that group.

Thanks for your help on the units - worked beautifully.


I figured that was how I would have to handle the cities, though. Sux.

You could ask someone from the Civ3Files to give you some good brand new city graphics-and citizens as well
