DISCWORLD Scenario released!

This is bloody brilliant.... Where (or when) is episode two coming out?

First of all: thank you!


Not sure I got your question right, but I'll try to answer nonetheless...

About "Episode two": well, what I intend to do is make an improved version, with better graphics for some units and maybe a few modifications (suggestions welcome)

I still don't know whether I'll do it for MPG or ToT, but I am leaning towards ToT as it would allow me to:
1) have better graphics (if the ToT "fanatics" provide me with them )
2) have more units, allowing for new developments
3) have more events space, allowing for a more plots
4) and most of all using the extra maps, to have more ground for different adventures! (I have a few ideas about that that might prove quite interesting...)

So as you can see, if I go on with ToT, quite a lot of features could be added.

But if you were meaning a real "episode 2" for MPG, then I'm open for suggestions!

Now about the "when": not for now, but hopefully for the end of the year! Why not now? Let's explain:
1) awfully busy at work! not a good excuse (though true), so let's proceed to n°2
2) currently developping another fantasy scenario, Pomarj (and I'm not exactly the fastest creator you can imagine...)! Sounds better??
3) and if I go on with ToT, it might take me some time to "master" the extra event language, as well as the added maps!

What's the story behind this scenario?

The scenario is based on the 23 first (or 25? can't remember right now! le'ts say all until "the Truth" included) books of the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett.

If you don't know it, you can read about it in the Civgroup news section, the description Harry wrote gives a good taste of Pratchett's work (and, hopefully, of the scenario...)

Here is the link to the news: Civgroup News

And to get a feel of the kind of writer Pratchett is, read some of the techs or units descriptions: much of it has been "lifted" from his work!

Ideed, this scenario is a true masterwork!

I would say that this adventure should be on every true CIV2 player's HD!

[Cyrion]

Curt, if you mean what you wrote (and are not just being kind because you know I am a big fan of your work!), then I am immensely proud! :

And maybe then you might be willing to help should the ToT version gain the upper hand...

But that's not for now, Pomarj awaits...

In the mean while, post all your suggestions folks!

[curtsibling]

Hey, man!

I don't give out compliments without good reason!

I watched the development of this epic from day one,
and you stuck to your project and seen it through!

That is why I salute the scenario - You kept your focus and brought the idea to life!

[curtsibling]

Taking a chance to play it again, I would say that the big strength of
this scenario is the fact that you created the Pratchett world so well.

And each civ has it's own self-contained area, a cosy enclave to manage and develop!

This is one of my favourite aspects of any fantasy scenario!

PS
If you ever want to covert this one to ToT, and need a unit maker, gimme a call!

Thanks, I sure will!

The good news for you is that you still have lots of time until I do...

You realize that, as soon as you finish Pomarj and we've done playing it from front to end, we're going to bring this up, right?

[Cyrion]

So I'll have to make Pomarj hard enough to win to have some respite...

[DarkCloud]

Bump!
(as soon as I get back home and have access to my main computer [1 week from now, I'm testing this out- I love Discworld- and I'll volunteer to playtest the Pomarj game now that you've hooked me up with the 'patch' ]

Thanks for your offer, I just put you on the playtesters list! and good timing too, as I hope it to be ready for playtest before the end of the month!

So many enthusiast replies: I have to download it soon

[kobayashi]

There is only one set of events right?

[Cyrion]

Sadly yes, only one! Would you like some more??

But I intend to make the 2nd version for ToT, which will allow for multimap and a much bigger event file, and masks! So I'll be able to include more random locations, hopefully

[curtsibling]

ToT will open many doors to really let the Discworld project fly!
