Need A Little Help Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

You know how the game automatically changes the appearance of your worker units as you advance .... well .... what in the game does this? I ask because I have a couple of worker units - one for the ancient period and one for after that period - so again, for the sake of repeating myself, how can I get all the earlier units to automatically upgrade/change appearance as I advance. In case it makes a difference I still want to keep the standard worker unit for most of the other civs.

You need folders in Art | Units for every era. Use the worker folders as an example.

He wasn't trying to insult- he was trying to direct you to a place that you could find the answer easier... where more knowledgable people would be.

But I believe that Sheik's answer will service.

You can find art to replace them in the Apolyton Directory.

IMHO the best place to get a knowlegeable answer would be in the Creation forum. That's where the modders help each other out.

OMG it must really bother you that I put this thread in the wrong place - wish my life was that simple - why don't you take your time and answer the question instead of banding together like a bunch of wolves because someone dared to place something in the wrong spot. I guess it's just easier to place the "nerdish" responses that I have been getting as opposed to helping someone out. Ever hear of the saying "If you do not have something to say then don't say anything". I honestly thought I would get some help, but so far I have gotten nothing but ****!!! Why do you bother even replying if you have nothing to say. If it offends you so much that I put this in the wrong spot (and by the way I do not spend my life here to know where all the correct spots are) then get someone to move this thread so that it doesn't offend you anymore. Jeesh, I just asked a question God forbid! Anyways, I figured out how to do what I want, as is usually the case, by myself. Thanks so much.
Ouch

Wow, people try to help you and you go ballistic on them. The people pointing you to another forum probably didn't know the answer, but figured people in the other forums (files, creation) would know. So they suggested you check there.

I saw nothing to suggest anyone was offended but you.

Chill.

Its a good thing you figured it out as nasty as you were to people, I doubt many would be interested in helping any further.

Put an end to popups!

Nothing said here was helpful. And if the best you can do is call me a baby then look in the mirror because I made no personal attacks.

You people just don't get it. I didn't need to be told three times that I posted this thread in the wrong spot and I don't need to be given directions three times in a row. I am far from being an idiot so why the repetition.

Get it now? Probably Not.

Will be anxiously awaiting another witty response from all you lovely people.
Bring it on!

I said that because you seemed to think that the other person was insulting you- and he was merely trying to help, directing you towards a place where you might be better aided.

As it turns out... the only jerk here is you.

Got spare money?

More name calling how nice.

Telling me that I need folders under art units is pathetically obvious.

I wanted to know what made the units change.

No matter how you slice it the post on the 28th at 18:51 was one thing, but the post on the 29th at 12:23 was way out of line, no one had said a thing that was not intended to be helpful at that time. That they were not helpful is irrelevant, they were not malicous.
That post evoked the ill tempered responses.

AFAIK as long as the units have the right names, it changes automatically. As for having different pictures for different civs, you could only do this by adding another unit.

HEY... You started it... WHAT THE HECK DO YOU EXPECT.

They were only suggesting that you might get a faster a better answser if you had posteded it in the right forum.

THEY WERE TRYING TO BE HELPFUL, and you just went nuts. So just chill.

If I had seen the thread, I would have MOVED it to the right forum... so don't jump down people's throats for their suggestion.
