Not in mod list.

hey how can I train these troops there are still marines in the production menu

The artwork on this mod is so close to the actual game it's hard to distinguish it as a mod! Thank you for this!

@helix actually you can build both paratroops and XCOM squads.

awsome mod

@Akinaba because paratroopers upgrade into XCOM squads

Why does paratrooppers do not recieve same upgrade?

Recomendation: could you make a tech "SF Troops" that unlocks SF troops like the sas, the rangers, the navy seals, etc.? Love the mod and the attack on titan too, still alittle disapointed with the leaders available though, I stumbled on the attack on titan mod while looking for a mod that added eren. Thanks!

where do you get the marines?

Doesn't seem to download for me. Any Suggestions?

The mod does not appear on my list in Civ 5 mods

Hey Kramer awesome mod! Question? is there anyway to add the 'sneak promotion" (im guessing the name) similar to that found on the privateer - so that enemey nations cant recognize their country of origin? There was a mod similar in Civ4. They were very expensive, a bit weaker, and you could only build a limited number, but they allowed me to engage enemies without declaring war, which added a more strategic layer. I know nothing about adding mods and wasnt sure if something similar is pissible in Civ5

Awesome mod. My only suggestion would be to move it to Mobile Tactics.

Thanks, even though I have found it already. Also the unit is improperly resized (stays the same)

Technically yes, it won't break your game or anything, but there won't be civilization-unique models, if that's what you're asking. And idk if the unit will be properly resized.

does this work with RED modpack?

Manual download??

Nah, I'm pretty content with the current model. Adding some variants would be interesting, but too much work (and potential conflict with any other mods that use those models) to be worth doing.

so, i know wolfdog released a new set of special forces skins from other countries, are you planning on incorporating them into your mod?

Why no paradrop? would make them a little more tactical.

do you have to start a new game to use them?

Oh okay thanks for clearing that up!

It doesn't receive defensive bonuses from terrain, which also means no defensive bonuses from fortification. It's a feature of the game, as you'll find that Siege and Mounted units also can't Fortify.

Does this unit have an fortified option because I can't find it or is it a possible glitch?

it doesnt work
i have gods and kings

I like that you used the US Army Assault soldier from BFBC2 for the picture. Nice.

Was looking for just this, great work and model! I do think you should move it to Mobile Tactics though, as that only gives one thing, while Telecommunication already gives 4. Your in game text describes them as being highly mobile anyway :)

and when i start in information era guess what?I start with stupid infantry fix it and ill get it again

i dont it makes my guys promote and even workers and my settelers and my workers cant build

The update that I promised within the week well over a month ago is finally out! This is what happens when 1 lazy asshole tries to develop a dozen mods at once, all by himself. Hope everyone enjoys.

Looks interesting, can't wait to see what the skin will look like. As SEALs or Special Forces are meant to move into enemy territory in order to conduct raids and reconnaisance, it would be create a more dynamic use a the unit. A couple of points that would make the SEAL very useful, allowing the unit to cross other nations' borders during peace time and allow them to hide in forests and jungles. To counter these strengths, do not give the unit defensive bonuses but do allow them to see Enemy Seals/SF.

Any closer to an update?

At first: great mod!
But it would be better if the seals would not lose movementpoints when they go in or leave water!

Yep, I've got an update in the works that, as well as adding custom models, repurposes the SEAL Team into a more generic "Special Forces" unit (though the unit's functionality is unchanged), complete with custom, unique names of existing (and a few fictional easter egg) SF units from around the world! It'll probably be ready within the week, given that I've got a gorillion other mods I'm working on.

can you make a skin for the unit so they do not look like marines please

I love this mod.Having trained seals for many years using fish mainly as motivation they are fine animals.

Kramer just an fyi you spelled "unconventional" wrong in your GameText.xml

Make one for Army Rangers for American Paratoopers to upgrade to

how do u download it??

Make SAS soldiers for Brtish paratroopers to upgrade to.

I remember back in civ IV when marines were useful. In civ V it isn't really worth building them after the atomic era and even before that they aren't really necessary. Thanks to this mod though, marines are actually worth building!

Perhaps, to be more global, you should rename it to "Frogman"

I have a much better idea for an upgrade for the Marine. Rather than a SEAL Team, which is pretty much an Americentric name (should just be a special unit for the Americans) and exactly fit in with Civilization's progression (the Paratrooper - X-COM Squad line really are the special forces), why not just call them "Mechanized Marines" and have the graphics of an AAV-7A1? I could do a CiV-style icon for you if you wanted (links below).

Hey man does this only work with the US Civ? if not is there away to make it only be the US thank for your help and for the MOD

?marines are a conventional expeditionary force seals are unconventional. And kevin there are many other seal teams as well, but why not just call it spec ops?

The AI should build them and upgrade marines into them. I haven't fully tested it, but it seems to work just fine. And I dunno which mod I have that adds that promotion to EVERY unit. The promotion is called something like TXT_KEY_PROMOTION_CREATED, it doesn't do anything, and it's a pain in my butt while taking screenshots.

two questions:
1: do the AI build them/ upgrade marines to them
2: why does the barbarian infantry in the secondscreenshot appear to have the heal every turn promotion, since barbarians don't gain xp. is that a mod or is that a glitch or what. just wondering

Nice Thing! so Cool!

Marines =/= Elite Special Forces.
