Coming Soon – Kaiser!

[GoPostal]

Why do the Rollos have RN flags?

[Eivind IV]

Nice cities!

btw, why do you call this scen 'Kaiser'?

[fairline]

The RN was the first service to use the Rolls-Royce Armoured car, GoPostal; to be more specific it was the Royal Naval Air Service who initially used them to fetch downed pilots from the front line and enemy territory, and later carried out patrols with them. The RNAS continued to operate them until they were absorbed into the new tank corps.

Winston Churchill, who was then First Lord of the Admiralty (ie the government minister in charge of the Navy), was the main driving force behind the development of tanks as well; these had been dropped by the army after early development and it was Churchill who carried on development of 'land ships'. Tanks went into service exclusively with the army though, first as part of the Machine Gun Corps and subsequently the Tank Corps.

@ Curt: yet more fantastic cities

[GePap]

What is the effect of city walls on the scenerio? Are you using the old idea of city walls being used to stop fast units from gaining and advantage by giving inf the ability to ignore city walls?

I forget which sceenrio it was, but there was one in which the graphic for really small towns without walls, those towns most in danger of beign wiped out by war included flames and smoke to represent a town under siege.

[GoPostal]

Can you clarify what the flags are?

[curtsibling]

@Kobra:
I called it Kaiser as a sort of retro version of Dictator -

@fairline:
A compliment from a great Civ2-artist like yourself has great worth - cheers!

@GePap:
The walls will serve to make frontal assault nasty - only tanks, bomber planes and artillery will crack these strongholds!

[curtsibling]

Just finished the new people file, and terrian too.

But I will keep them hidden for now, I must keep something secret for the beta version!

[Palaiologos]

Walls to be ignored by tanks?

[Harry Tuttle]

Very nice cities Curt. Reminiscent of the dirt and rust of the early century. Very realistic.

[rmsharpe]

I can't wait for it myself. I'll crack into Curt's computer myself and get the files out

[Jimmywax]

Those cities look excellent my man, kind of dark for my taste, but I think Harry hit right on the mark:

Reminiscent of the dirt and rust of the early century

I think it will look great against the bright green tiles.

[curtsibling]

Thanks, gentlemen!

I'll be making the unit 'hit/defence' balances today...

[Arthedain]

Looks nice indeed!

[Palaiologos]

looking good those cities.
Which one is the Russian?


Any chance this will be released for playtest before the 29th?

[curtsibling]

The bottom row is the used for the Russian.

I will try for the end of the month to have something ready, but I cannot give any assurances!
