I don't want lots of units looking the same. All the dinosaurs must look different.

spinosaurus, huge variety of raptor, T-rex, giganotosaurus all look different and for naval you could have lieupleorodo, kronosaurus, plesiosaurus etc, in the air pteranodon, quetzalcoatlus and ramporynchus are the better known more popular types.

you know, i think that the dinosaurs should be a mini-faction on the map. like, the lovechild of a normal glest faction and a glestimal.

so, they would be a neutral faction on the map (since they arent big enough to be a true faction)
I approve of this.

\Archeopterix is somewhat questionable since 1) its not that well known 2) it didn't fly very well and has feathers. Plus all I meant were general suggestions, not necessarily needed

I think this should be a full sized faction.

And for air units, the Pterodactyl is probably the best known and the best choice.

You should try making a GAE mod so you can use naval units, etc.

Archeopteryx is also very small...


Whats wrong with having dinos with feathers??

Just because it hasn't been done before doesn't mean they shouldn't do it. They could get to experience some GAE and expand their mod in ways they previously couldn't.

Just have two versions, that's the best thing a mod can do currently. Might be even better later... I want to see some dinosaurs on some cliffs with special effects anyways.  :O

Well, I'm just glad they're finally trying new things. This mod is really proving how far they've come.
 GAE or no, this mod is a big enough step for them I say.  ;)

instead of "sphanasaur," howabout calling it "spinosaurus"?

If you're gonna use the full names for most of them, may as well do the same for the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Or at least call it "Tyrannosaurus". Other than that, looks good.

Ninja'd: Agree with Zoy here, there's no such thing as a Sphanasaur. Rule of thumb: if google can't find it, it doesn't exist. :O

These models (and especially the textures!!) look so good, I am really curious now. When will we see a beta?

Its called Tyrannosaurus Rex. I just have Trex for the tech tree because its smaller.

Fairy soon probably.

OK, Good Idea. (Tiger came up with that name.)

now, i have to wonder, what are the strengths and weaknesses of the dinosaurs?

like, compared to each other. Elim, can you give us a rundown of each dino and its strengths/weaknesses?

This is what they relate to the most:

deinonychus = stick_fighter
Segosaurus = 4 workers
spinosaurus = 2 archers
ankylosaurus = catapult
triceratops = turtle_formation
allosaurus = horse_man
Trex = battle_machine
pterodactyl = thunder_bird
brontosaurus = technodrome

It can lay an egg which can hatch into another tri.

hey, this may sound odd, but recently i dreamed about this mod (i take Glest seriously).

so, after "playing" your mod, here's my comments:
it looked great, im pretty sure i played a whole game!
it needs more researchable techs
the bronto cost around 2,300 gold, you may need to reduce the cost some (also, it's attack sucked).

beyond that, it was fun :P

I need one more unit idea, it will be sort of swordmanish.
