Vendetta 3 - MGE or ToT?

[curtsibling]

Like a sneaky old bugger, I have been working away on the 3rd version of my what-if modern scen.

Learning from the recent Dictator experience;
This scen will have a new map and will be a vastly different trip from the previous efforts.
A devasted post-atomic world, and 7 evil civs building empires in the rubble!
Tech will be slow, and only through trade will you push the discovery envelope.

So...Where is it at?
I have finished updating and making the units.
Most of the graphics are done. (minus the new icons and terrain)
The text content like the rules are still to be finalised.

Now I have a choice!
Shall I make this new episode for MGE or give it the enhanced graphics and events of ToT?

Using ToT would allow extensive events and nice looking units.
For those who have seen the ones I tweaked for Bitterfrost II this is the calibre to expect.

An extra 20 units will enable me to add an extra epoch of space age deadly units to the tree.

I am not going to proceed until I decide what CIV platform to use.
Perhaps you fine bunch can help me decide!

Over to you!

PS
Cheers to Saarstock for the awesome image!
The civ flags have changed, so we may need to update!

I voted for MGE at first, more people will probably play it if you make it for MGE. But then I realised, those space units sounds really interesting. SO you should probably do it for ToT. And more people should get ToT!

[jim panse]

I voted Banana since it IS CIv2 - no matter which kind of

Btw, if I can be of any help, just gimme a ring, won´t you?

ToT. I guess I just want designers to keep on 'pushing the envelope'.

Guess...

Let's face it. We can theorize about ToT's versatility, superiority or whatever but this means absolutely nothing unless such scenarios are made that prove the point by exploiting these advanced features(like those by Tecumseh, Boco, Kestral, you and very few others)
The more fine ToT scenarios are out there, the less the ToT/MGE dilema will make any sense.
I only wish some recent ToT scenarios had been made 3-4 years ago.

Go ToT. It will make you feel better. If it wasn't what you really wanted, you wouldn't be making an issue of it.
Do you want me to count how many times you 've already said "if this was ToT..." in this very forum?
Follow your heart.
Do it your way.
Make a point.

@Jim Panse:
I may call on your help soon!

@Tanelorn:
Good points...

Ahem....

[curtsibling]

Looks like I better make a Vendetta folder in my ToT game!

*ahem* try www.amazon.com, they sell ToT for 3 $ IIRC ...

@N35t0r

I don't think I want to know what you mean by 'find' and 'cheap'.

I picked up a copy for $8 US on E-bay a month ago. The CD was $2, the rest was highway robbery. There were lots of TOT's for sale at about that price.

I also picked up a near terminal case of utter frustration trying to set up an account at Pay Pal. That came free with the CD.

Is that 'cheap' enough?


Meanwhile.....

Up MGE! Enough of those dismal TOT maps and unit icons with potato masher handgrenades floating above their heads! No more city window with a color scheme that would delight a vampire! Only the cobwebs are missing!

[curtsibling]

All those things can be changed...
