Up1. "Unit-Mania" Modpack for Civ 3 V0.66 Beta (for Civ3 version v1.29f)

More than 50 extra units

I have had a crack at redesigning my Civ2 - ToT "Original Plus / Unit-Mania" Modpack which adds in a few dozen extra units for Civ III.

To make the modpack work, you will need to download all the Zipped files, which due to the lack of space on my ISP will be scattered around cyberspace linked (hopefiully) by a number of links. See Below for details.


My idea behin the Modpack is to have a smoother transition of unit upgrades from ancient to modern, not the big staccato leaps that seem to be a feature of Civ III (and were also a feature of Civ II). I also wanted to try to have at least 2 different unique units for each Civ - but I haven’t yet quite completed that - this is still very much a work in progress

It also means that with respect to big equipment purchases that are not necessarily upgradeable that you are forced to make uncomfortable decisions - "Should I buy that squadron of Fighters now or wait until my Technology improves a little bit".

The increased number of units won't please everybody, but I love complexity - the more the better for my tastes. See the attached excel spreadsheet for all the detail on extra units and other misc changes.

For more details and commentary on the Modpack - read this forum post. MOD: Civ3 - Unit-Mania - 40 plus new Units

To make the modpack work, you will need to download all the Zipped files, which due to the lack of space on my ISP will be scattered around cyberspace linked (hopefiully) by a number of links. You will also need to make sure that the individual files within are correctly copied into the relevant Civ3 directory folders. Note that my system has had Civ3 installed as a root directory directly under C:

If you have accepted the default setup ( /Program Files /Infogrames/civilization 3/ ) you will need to copy or move the files and folders into the relevant folders on your system to make it work.

Don't forget to backup your files before you overwrite.

Where new unit animations become available (not my forte) I will include them here for use with the evolving modpack.

The files :
