Vendetta 3 - MGE or ToT?

[GoPostal]

This is selfish, but I say MGE.

[Harry Tuttle]

Ehhhhhhhhh, ok fine, TOT. I guess I should learn it one day.

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!

Agricola: Curt's right - all the graphics can be changed in exactly the same way as other versions of civ (see my comments in Tech's OMG thread). Stick with it and you'll be amazed with what's possible

The only thing you're stuck with is the 'potato-masher' health bar, although this can be tweaked graphically and also repositioned with Merc's civ-sprite utility.

Curt if you could send me over the new flag graphics I'd love to update that title.gif for you.

If you don't mind making them public just post'em here, or if you want to keep them secret for now just e-mail them to me at Chris_Hudzieczko@Hotmail.com

Here is a taste of what might be in the ToT version..



Jabo-68 Stuka II (bomber)
Jabo-88 Habicht (bomber)
Jagd-70 Zerstorer (fighter)

PS
Sarsstock, I will send you the city file ASAP...!

[Sarsstock]

Look forward to getting the file Curt. Now just so I got this straight, this game takes place several years after the top gun era 1980's expansion of the six declared superpowers? Where the G.E.U. and terrorist states were all swallowed up leaving no more room for expasion without all out war resulting? And this game is the race to rebuild after such a war?

[Paul Hanson]

Go with ToT. The extra versatility it gives you, with regards to extra units, maps and events will help you flesh out the Vendetta universe far more than in the previous version (I thought the first incarnation of Vendetta did a pretty good job of painting a picture of a dark, nightmarish world of totalitarianism, but Vendetta 2 somehow lost this. Perhaps now is your chance to reclaim it?)

I may call on your help soon!

Well, my friend, you know how to call me

And .... keep up that brilliant work

[curtsibling]

@Sarsstock:
Yep, this one is set around 1985, with new civs, new units and a far darker horizon...

@Paul Hanson:
I am confident that ToT will give my the medium to repaint the grim Vendetta world.
I plan this time to take the concept into extremes,
with the two main protagonists being far more evil than before!

@I'll be in touch - Wanna try some bitmap tweaking?

*ahem* Amazon does not ship software outside the US

ToT vote, here

[Harry Tuttle]

Alright, it has to be in TOT. I just ordered the full version.

Curt, are we going to see space colonies, astronauts, and space shuttles?

@N35t0r - If you trust me, I can mail it to you. I'll give you my address for shipping.

[Sarsstock]

Dude I would love to see the space shuttle in this scenario. Plus it would be amazing to see the German take on the space shuttle.

Though, I always thought it was interesting that in real life our old friends the Soviets had tested a space shuttle of their own only to abandon the project. They thought it seemed that it was just too damn expensive.

[Harry Tuttle]

Well it was expensive, the Soyuz was much cheaper to put in orbit. But that's a tale in its own. I think something like a cool needle craft would be right for the Germans.

[Sarsstock]

Well, as great as it would be to see these great orbiting vehicles, what role could they have in the game? Unless the scenario itself is to take place on the moon, what could the space vehicles acomplish? Some sort of ultra long range transport?
