The West Awakens

[Mercator]

I couldn't help myself. Here's another version of the title screen...

The sound would only play once if the AI multiple attacks and it floods over, it will be OK. Besides, you don`t like sounds even at websites .

Mercator - thanks for not being able to help yourself.

Fairline - I think what a big part of my wanting to do this scenario was your units. After taking a look at Hellas by John Ellis with the redone graphics that Leonidas did.
I just wanted to let you know dude

That's cool; I think it was me that made the revamped units for Hellas BTW, unless Leonidas did a version as well

PM me your unit list if you like - I am redoing my ancient units and may be able to offer some better versions than you have here.

Amazingly, we both posted re-done units for Ellis's Hellas at the same time...

Ripley's:

Believe it or not...

I just tried King David - your first scenaro - I'm very impressed! But... I finished playing the 1st turn, hit the return key to give the computer its go... and then had to wade through close on 30 messages from the various civs asking me to meet with their emissaries. I have never seen anything like it before.

Hoping it was a first turn bug, I played the 2nd return, hit the return key only for the same thing to happen again. I just don't have the patience to keep hitting return in order to advance to the next turn, so it would be great to know if anyone else suffered from this during play?

That was a learning curve I experienced, I know at first it makes you kind of dizzy answering all the AI requests, it does go away on about turn 3.
I did not know if you backdate the turns and give the nuke world wonder to a civ, it freaks the AI completely out.

I still am in a learning curve with designing, in fact ....

Does anyone know how to reintroduce the shroud?
The Spartans can see the Gauls DO`H

[beingofone]

Man I hope someone has an idea for the shroud.
If not that will push my work back by about 20-25 hours.

Can't you use the events command:

@IF
NEGOTIATION
talker=ANYBODY
talkertype=HumanOrComputer
listener=ANYBODY
listenertype=HumanOrComputer
@THEN
@ENDIF

Curt maybe I am missing something here.
It is not negotiations that is the problem, its exploration.
The black fog of mystery.

If you mean the black covering the map from each civ's perspective, then I think you can use the cheat function to select cover all map...

[Arthedain]

This seems very interesting. We need more screenshots!

It will be a bit longer, I am finalizing and fleshing out the tech tree.

In that case, can everyone pretend that I didn`t say anything

It has been awhile since I used the creator interface.
It still leaves open the original placement of the settler for the Barbarian cities.

Quick update

I wrote out a tech tree that looks really good on paper.
I loaded it in three times and all three times it crashes the game. Yes I linked to future tech.

I came close to throwing my hardrive into the wall for the sheer joy of it. For those of you who have created tech trees from scratch, I am sure you can relate.
After further review, I realized, I am the virus infecting the tech tree.
I am hoping at this point to have beta out in a couple of weeks.

Hope your day was good.

[curtsibling]

Did you get it fixed?

Look for missing comas and mis-spelt tech abbreviations.

Easy mistakes to make, during late nite edits!

Thanks for the concern Curt.
I did some ohms, took a break and went back at it.
Funny, the words in the text are not blurry anymore.

H-Tower, you were right.
17 seconds is way to long for a battle.

I can`t give a screenie just yet but here is another cool hoplite. This one is Athenian.
