Update:

1. Finishing up the last parts of the icons.gif file

2. Did some work on the labels.txt

3. Added 7 new units: Wild Bill Hickock, Calamity Jane, Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, a Rancher, Cattle, and a Grizzly Bear.

4. Game.txt modified (if anyone wants to use it).


It's coming together.

I think I might stay away from the cartoons lest I add Quickdraw McGraw in there.

[Arthedain]

Indeed good news Harry!

[ComradeCommisar]

Definately looking forward to this scenario, that and Deadwood on the TV

[Harry Tuttle]

You know I have to say the most tedious part about making a "full" scenario like this one is editing the damn text files.

Would someone would like to help? Please, please, please....

Anyways, I'm finishing up the units and I need more universal unit for the players. So far I have:

Laborer
Irish Boxer
Railroad Man
Knife Fighter
Gun Man
Quickdraw
Bag Man
Prospector
Whore
French Whore
Madame
Highway Man
Scout

Special Units Open to All:
Wild Bill Hickock
Calamity Jane
Butch Cassidy
Sundance Kid
Seth Bullock
Army Deserter

I have 10 more slots to fill. Any suggestions on normal, non special, units?

[Mercator]

Drunk
Undertaker
Settler
"Man with No Name" (though I guess that would be a special unit)

[Harry Tuttle]

Well I have two settler units that can build saloons and terrain improvements. The Laborer and the initial 'Settler For Founding The Saloons'. If for some reason I have too many units for the slots I'll combine the two.

As for "settlers" coming into the valley, as people were want to do when seeking their fortune in the Black Hills, I have another unit that will have no attack or defense (or "settling" capability), belonging to the Sioux (Nature is another Civ which governs the mountain and impassable units) that will appear through events. This unit can be bribed and disbanded in the saloons to generate shields (high build price = high disbanding bonus) for production. The main job of the prostitutes is to "bribe" these units so that a player can gain money (aka. business/commerce) through new settlers entering the valley.

As for the Drunk and Undertaker, how could I use them? Scouting units? Caravans? Let me know your thoughts.

[Mercator]

To be honest, I have no idea. I was really just thinking of what type of characters I'd expect to find in a Western, and hoping you'd suddenly think up some brilliant use for them.

Well, the drunks could either just be "military" units (somewhat like the Irish Boxer?), or maybe barbarian units created by events that rampage through town occasionally (though that wasn't quite the thing you were asking help for).

[Harry Tuttle]

Woohoo! 7 more unit spots to go. Terrain1.gif is nearly finished as I have three more terrain tiles to make. Icons.gif is almost done except for the Wonders Icons. Cities.gif still has some three more cities to fill, but I'll make that up. The text files ar 30% of the way there too. Slow and steady it's getting done.
