BITTERFROST II - Development Thread!

[jim panse]

Curt, old chap, the sounds are marvellous! You made me convert to ToT creation with this one

[curtsibling]

Excellent!

You shall be a scenario-making force to be reckoned with!

[curtsibling]

And before I go back to work, here is a tweaked rules file with some early edits!



Nothing major - Just some issues raised by N35t0r!

[GoPostal]

I received the Admiral, by capturing Privateer Port, yet I do not have any technology for it, or any unit.

[typhoon]

Its a wonder, created in your capital city.

[curtsibling]

Yep - The Wonders from dungeon victories will be automatically sent to one of your cities!

It's one of ToT's fun enhanced events!

[GoPostal]

Yeah, messed up there, i missed them. Sound for the Crusader archers seems to be missing.

[curtsibling]

The Wav files: ARROW and ARROW2 are assigned to all the human archers...

Are they in your Sound folder?

They are in the 'BFII-Snd1' zip...

[Cyrion]

OK, I might be joining the Dark Side of the Force...

But please, could someone tell me how I could get the interface (city report and such!) I'm used to?? Pretty please, so that I can enjoy Curt's chef d'oeuvre without getting lost...

And if someone could give a few simple guidances (kind of "ToT for the dummies...") about all I have to do to enjoy it without too much worries!

[curtsibling]

Welcome, young Padawan!

The first step to being a dark jedi is to go to ToT's 'View' menu
(in-game) and toggle the 'City View' and 'Map View' options!

This will give the layout a classic CIV2 look!

I use this too!

Everything else is more or less the same as good old MGE.
And in the city screen, you can click on the 'City Resources'
box to toggle between two different views.

If you look in the series of ToT threads from a few weeks back,
there is a wealth of info from Tech, Catfish and Fairline!

[Cyrion]

Thanks Curt! This Dummy just tried what you said, and now I feel much less lost...

Tomorrow night will (hopefully...) see some real testing! :B:

[curtsibling]

Everyone puts thier first foot on the path to ToT at some point!

I am delighted to be of service!

[Arthedain]

Curt, this scenario is brilliant. I just gave it a shot (well, today and yesterday) just taking a random civ and ending up as the Undead. After capturing Ironfire Peak I realised this was a much to easy civ (the ancients didn't attack my units so it was just for me to march right up to the capital, normal level).

Anyways, great scen, next time I'll take a more normal civ.

[curtsibling]

Cheers, Arthedain!

Kudos from fantasy meisters like yourself or Cyrion really mean something to me!

Indeed, the Ancients do come into their own as real swines, but it takes time.

I was toying with the Idea of making the Undead, Urzit and the Ancients all allied.

One big, happy, evil family.

That would really cause some trouble.

Thank you Curt!

Yesterday was too busy to allow me to dive as deep into Bitterfrost as I would have liked (but it was already deep enough if I listen to She Who Must Be obeyed...), but the real testing and following comments will come next week (when I come back from my New Year's Week-end in the mountains! )

From what I have seen so far:
1) you just did it: I installed ToT and am glad I did! I'm on my way to corruption (though not far enough down the road to call MPGE a "lesser civ version" yet )

2) I really like what I saw, but as said before, I need more time too delve into it!

3) you seem to have succeeded (no surprise there!) in not only designing a scenario, but (more importantly IMO) in creating a world where all the adventures happen! For this I thank you!

And Happy New year to you all!
