BITTERFROST II - Development Thread!

[curtsibling]

A bit of info about the scenario:

Now the Human civs each have a quest that gives a powerful wonder and perhaps a cool character too!

The Crusaders look for the armour that belonged to their hero 'The Crusader'...
The Bursars help the Imperion's champion to thwart some undead pirates...
The Coven are after a magic device that will change the balance of power...

Other items are available if certain actions are carried out.
And the Imperion will issue rewards for services rendered!

There are some units in need of help also!
They might join you in return...And bring benefits with them...

And this time, heroes can be captured and joined to your civ.
Or turned into an undead monster, depending on your faction!

I am on campus just now, but I will send you the goods when I get home!

Now that sounds über-cool!

Between that and Red Front, I guess I'll have to install ToT in the end...

[curtsibling]

Our aim is to entice you into ToT!

[curtsibling]

Here is something for my fellow Ranger of the North, Arthedain!

MGE wrecked suburbs!

PS
You may have to tweak them a small bit to get rid of smokestacks, etc...

[Arthedain]

Thanks!
Any more progress on Bitterfrost?

[curtsibling]

Yep - been tweaking graphics and putting the events together...

The Events are a real brain-melter - Loads of tricky sections!

[curtsibling]

Bump!

With a progress report - I am still on events and aim at the weekend for completion.

I am making many new events from scratch...

More to come!

[GoPostal]

excuse the OT, but did Vendetta 3/ ToT get finished?

[curtsibling]

It is the next project after this and Dictator -

Sometime in spring Vendetta ToT will manifest!

[Sarsstock]

A ToT Dictator you say Curt? Wow, won't that be something. Anyways, I've got a question about an idea that was proposed once a while back. It came out of the usual banter that borders on spamming that fills up these threads all the time, but this idea if I remember correctly actually had some merrit.

It was an idea for the world of Bitterfrost meeting the world of Dictator and or Vendetta after some sort of rip or tear in the space and time continuum or something to that effect. The point is, either from the inhabitants of Bitterfrost invading the world of Vendetta/Dictator or vice versa, you'd have wizzards and mage's battling Red Dreadnaughts and Loyalty Troops. Dragon's and Voodoo fighters dueling in high altitude combat.

Being the imaginative writer that you are Curt, I'm sure an explanation for the two worlds coliding could easily be found.

Just a thought.

[curtsibling]

Interesting concept!

An earth-versus-fantasy opus would indeed be one to explore!

Perhaps this coming year - Once Vendetta is complete...

[curtsibling]

UPDATE:

Events are 99% done! (and no bugs this time!)
I'm now testing out the scenario and it plays pretty good.
Making tweaks and changes to all the mini-mistakes that crop up -
Like a unit having not enough movement points.

What I need to do is to get the balance going now.
I also have to set the treaties so the Undead and Ancients are fighting from the start.

Next task:
Made edits to all the civ text in the Game and Labels files!

A playtest will probably be out for xmas!

[Harry Tuttle]

I'm looking forward to this. A nice fantasy scenario is always fun

[curtsibling]

Cheers! -
I wish I could say the ToT AI is fun, but it ain't!

After their univited landing ashore and subsequent razing of one of my cities
with an unpronouncable name, I decided to punish the evil Urzit good and proper!

I had done some of the events quests, picking up some heroes.
This will be easy! I thought...

Yeah, right!
Now the blue-faced fiends are flinging everything
(including the kitchen sink)
at my little task force, led by Irene the Maiden!

Run away! Run away!



PS
And to top it all off, the Ancients have just arrived and flattened one of my frontier cities,
doing so without getting even a dent in their incredibly eeeee-vil armour! Damn them....!

I really miss my panzers now!

For players who want a tough challenge, I may have a nice new year gift for ya!
