Nemo's "The Blitz"

[Sarsstock]

Has anyone ever made an attempt to perform a graphical update of Nemo's original unit files at least? It seems to be they would be pretty easy to do these days what with the massive cache of Civ II units already floating around there.

Specifically the units by Gareth and Curt that were used in Dictator I think would be most fitting. I think as far as the graphics goes, the biggest challenge would be the will to sit down and fit all the units into place.

It would be quite cool to recreate this one in ToT, and try to
fix the game-play issues, now that we have tools like CIVstack
and CIVcity at our disposal...

I think we could manage this...!

SL Group project anyone!!!???

[Boco]

I could be persuaded.

[Sarsstock]

Curt, Boco, I am your servent sirs .

[curtsibling]

All my cities are at the SL's disposal of course!

I am sure fairline could be persuaded to help out if he is not too busy!

[Boco]

Where's a copy of Nemo's effort?

If everyone else runs away, I could give it a stab. However, EAv2 is my first priority for the next month or so. I know it's not much of an offer, but maybe it'll spur Agricola someone more competent.

Tech if this remains untaken after WoC and EAv2 are released, would you be interested in splitting duties on this? Or does the contest loom next?

I respectfully disagree with "I know it's not much of an offer". As I am absolutely incompetent to do it and the contest was stillborn, I have been hoping that you might find the time to undertake doing a TOT version of Red Front once your EAv2 has received its final polish.

The RF TOT project is actually in pretty good shape. We have Nemo's go ahead; Fairline has created a superb set of new units; several designers are now experienced with the nuts and bolts of converting MGE to TOT; and I know how to make the 1942 Stalingrad/Caucasus campaign work properly.

IMO, the major unknown is how well Skyer's No limits TOT functions under actual game conditions. I'm hoping that Heresson's new scen will be a good test of the No limits TOT.exe .

Everyone else ran away?

What we should do is begin a new thread for the purpose.

*In which we can outline a list of tasks needing done for the
conversion to ToT.

*From there, we can create a new list that outlines what we can do to make 'Blitz' work.

*We can allocate tasks, or allow people to make offers to cover certain elements.

*Complex events and mechanics are the province of the ToT exerten (you know who you are...!)

*We explore all ideas. suggestions and additions to the scen...

I am busy with my Daleks, but I am happy to offer GFX help if needed.

[fairline]

I would make sure the scenario is workable before investing too much time on graphics upgrades. I'll gladly help with the gfx once someone has produced a playtested working scenario

Agri's point about ToT RF is aposite methinks

[Sarsstock]

Well your suggestions make perfect sense Gareth, sadly I can't contribute anything to the mechanics of the events and such but like I said I'd be glad to offer anything along the lines of Title Graphics and such if so needed .

[curtsibling]

Why don't we bump the RF thread and get it completed,
as a prelude to perhaps giving 'Blitz' the same treatment?
