Storm unit

Post by cazfi »

We hope to port "Storm" unit from custom civ2civ3_earth ruleset to official rulesets. #42907

We would need unit graphics for it in all supported tilesets.

Will this work for Cimpletoon?

Appears we already have had them in since freeciv-3.0. I had completely forgotten that.

Continuing with the Storm.

They are currently units belonging to the "Animal Kingdom" nation, but I think we should create a new nation for them - it's a bit weird have them listed as animals. So, we will need a new flag (the .svg file) for "Nature".

Do they need a flag? If all storms are of the same nation, and that nation controls no other unit type, might the flag just be redundant clutter? In that case the flag could just be a bit of transparency. Or the shield could be transparent and there could be a flag for where needed in the help docs and wherever else.

Just elaborating...
Storms, then how about Tornadoes, or Anomalous Waves... You know.. the kind of stuff Nature would. Oceans, but on land too.

I could 'graphic' any of the needed 2D-only sprites, alas nothing in the '3D/blender' class.
Ancient hardware limitations.

P.S.: flags in .svg are not a problem here.

If hardware is the issue, I ran up to blender 2.79 on windows 7, amd Athlon X2 4800+, GeForce 6150se with 2gb ram. I have renderer files for 2.49 and 2.79 for those on such hardware.
