Transport loading before map play?

Is there any way that I can start the game with transports, each already loaded with units?

You could make it appear that they had them loaded, if you ordered them to load up the units (and the units were very close) upon map intilization.

Use a small cinematic and load/move them off-screen.

Ah ... the idea's that I want the game to begin with the camera centered on the transports, but with those transports on/over water ...?

A cinematic's okay, but I'd like that to start over water, though it's okay if it ends on land ...

possible idea is just use an empty tranny for the cin and when it switches to player control switch it with one that has been preloaded away from camera, or if you have it in the cinima offloading units you could create units that would look like they were being dropped off.

Hope this helps but probably doesn't =0)

No, that is a good idea. Another one would be to start the cinematic with empty zepelins and fill another team of zeppelins off screen, and then, when it comes to landing, switch the camera angle and at the same time, so that it isn't noticed, replace the empty zeppelins with the full ones...
