Atomic Eagle: Hand of the Reaper Release

[Sarsstock]

Atomic Eagle 2? Oh my god I can't wait for that one. It'll involve the walking dead eh? Sweet!! How many of these Atomic Eagle games are you planning to come out with?

A recent book by Michael Moorecock, had his albino warrior character 'Elric' visiting his German alter ego in WW2.

A good read - It features bombers being attacked by Dragons!

PS
If we get the opportunity to make a fantasy vs WW2 scenario, I would be happy to conspire with you, Harry!

Feel free to throw any ideas my way...

And the Dragons win, too!

A good read, indeed! (a cross between Elric and the Von Beck series)

EDIT: and reducing a sorcerer such as Elric to a mere "warrior", you should know better Curt...

After a very long time of wanting to do it, I at last tried the scen! Even if I just started, I have to say the following:

Harry, it's brilliant!

I won't write a long post, because I'm eager to keep on playing

Just a comment, though: I had problem to find the Ore factory, and after a long while looking for it, I cheated to make sure it existed, and it appeared it didn't... So checking from the start of the scen, I came to the following conclusion:
1) it got destroyed by a foreign unit
2) as it wasn't a NONE unit, it got disbanded

Now, unless it is on purpose (the "disband" hypothesis) and you want it as a "time" limit (i.e. either you find it quick, or it gets disbanded, but then you should warn the player somehow), you should make this unit a NONE, I think...

YOur opinion??

Back to the game...

PS: it's truely amazing mate!

Well crap, it seems that the ore factory is indeed under a city name, Abuja. In my test runs the city has never abandoned it but I could see it happening if the city is destroyed or runs out of food (though all other civs are at peace with eachother at this point so it probably wasn't destroyed). Though, as food goes, the city does have three somewhat large resources in its radius...

If you start the game, cheat, and then change it, there should be no problem.

I thought I caught all the bugs from the beginning part of the scenario, dang it.

The scenario is so damn huge playtesting didn't yield to many results. Just remember, when you finally complete all the missions, you really do have to use the cheat menu to switch sides. This was done to ensure a truly random game when switching over to the Nazi civ.

After that, well, you're in unchartered waters as I have only played it so many turns. The development of the game, all 9 megs and all, really burned me out.

If someone wants to take over development be my guest. The scenario, after all, was an exercise in stretching the limits of the game engine.

Have fun Cyrion. Remember, you have to be quick or the missions may become jepordized just for the simple reason that the game is so huge.

I never got a chance to congratulate you when you first released it. But I must say this is one of the best I've ever played! I was actually playing it as I stumbled across this thread...

[Harry Tuttle]

Thanks Kobra.

[Eivind IV]

You're welcome!

What ever happened to that Wild West scenario idea btw?

[Harry Tuttle]

It's still coming. I've been busy lately and have only managed to work on it a bit. Check out the thread for the latest update. Everything is done or halfway there. I'm just taking it slow and easy...
