Empire of the Rising Sun

Originally posted by PatineHowever, upon alpha testing, I found that the Soviet units danced through Japanese mainland territory, blocking up roads, railroads, and attack routes, as they're entitled to do under alliance.

I much prefer to have 2 neighbouring enemy civs to having an allied civ next to mine. You cannot keep the b******ds from wandering around in your territory except by lining your border with a solid wall of units. Bah, humbug!

Patine:

You could use impassable terrain between Soviet and Japanese units.

Then when the USSR declares war, have an event that makes this terrain passable.

Thanks a lot, Leonidas! That really helped.

Glad everything's working now

Sorry to darken your door again, Leonidas (I do appreciate your support on this scen) but my computer must be distorting the .wav file; it just doesn't sound like a Bansai troop. That one you originally sent to me as Japsnd1.wav is the one you altered right? I kind of would prefer the one originally labelled Japsnd2.wav; that comes out on my computer as a much clearer and more obvious Bansai sound. To make it easier, I've attached the one I mean. I'd make the change myself, but I've just discovered (much to my annoyance) that the above mentioned software on my old computer does everything to a .wav file except change its bit rate. Sorry to be a pain, but if you can help me one more time, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

[Leonidas]

No problem, Patine - these things happen...

Here is the changed second Japanese wav sound changed to 8 bit mono:

@Leonidas: Thanks a lot! That's perfect! (And this time I checked before posting).

@Broken_Erika: I will try a no-negotiation peace treaty with a decent attitude. I'm hoping it will hold until the aggression date. I'll have to have the same diplomatic sentiment between the Soviets and the other Allies, lest the Soviets declare war on Japan when Japan attacks an Allied unit or city out of alliance obligation.

@AGRICOLA: I agree with your sentiment on neighbouring allies completely! Hence why I don't want the Soviets and Japanese to start as allies.

BTW, on the topic of sounds, does anyone perchance have good .wav files for a US LVT amphibious landing vehicle and an Okha suicide plane?

Glad to see everything's rolling smoothly

For the LVT, perhaps use a tank sound.

For the suicide plane, a Stuka diving sound?

[Patine]

@Leonidas: Thanks for the suggestions on sounds. I'll give them a try.

@Curtsibling: How are my cities coming along? I look forward to seeing the final results. Thanks!

In general: Did anyone do something with that above AA gun? Please let me know. Thanks!

[curtsibling]

City work is moving along nicely, I will have something for you soon!

[Patine]

Thanks a lot, Curt! I appreciate it. Looking forward to having a look at your handiwork.

Already 17 pages of ideas & suggestions, dont you think time for a general preview, may be pics or beta release? Look at your scen ---> , he wants to be watched by the people, take him out from the cage.
Or do you want the final "surprise element" for your scen?

hehe, good luck with the project, seems has been very well supported and helped by the entire community in all the aspects.

cu.

[Patine]

Well, thanks for the vote of confidence! I'm still working on events, but most of the rest is done. There are two screenshots on the previous page (I believe, or if not they're not too far back), but the beta release isn't yet ready. Sorry, but I'll have to keep the little red guy waiting a bit longer.

Patine:

Give me a little time and I will post some sounds for you for the LVT and suicide plane. Then pick the ones you like.

I have lots of military sounds on cd, so I'll go through a few and see what I can find.
