American War of Independence - Creation Thread

[curtsibling]

It wouldn't be too hard to convert some of the minutemen or militia-type units into privateers...!

[Patine]

If I may interject my two bits, you shouldn't use teepis and tents for Indians in the region of the AWI (the Eastern Woodlands, as it was called). The Natives of this region, the Iroquois, Adena, Cherokee, Creek, etc. were built permanent settlements, including their famed longhouses, and had wooden huts, sheds, and stockades otherwise. Teepis were found further west on the Plains region. Just trying to help.

[curtsibling]

That is a good point, Patine...I will add them to my list for this project...!

[civ2units]

Your right, Patine.
The tents and teepis were typical for the Apache and the Sioux which lived in the great plains. The Cherokee, Mohawk, Iroquois, etc. used real wooden houses, huts etc...

I played Age of Empires III some times ago, I should know this. In the game the Native Indians used those buildings.

Great to hear from you Curt, that you will make those city styles.

I´ve posted some converted Fairline units for my Pirates, I think they will represent the Pirates...

[curtsibling]

Here are the Spanish/Mexican cities, will follow up soon with the Indian set.

[curtsibling]

And here are the Indian cities too - Hope these are suitable.

[civ2units]

Fantastic cities Curt.

Thanks very much.

[fairline]

Top notch C.

Civ2units - if you're looking for pirate units, have you checked out barrocca's excellent pics in the ancient gfx thread?

[Eivind IV]

Fabolous cities, man!

[curtsibling]

Cheers, chaps!

Hello to all,

here are the ready files from my AWI scenario. It´s a beta version, for playtesting.

Inspired from Bocos great El Aurens 2 scenario, i decided to change most of the Tiles.dll graphics.
The others will follow when i release the final version of my scenario.

If you would like to use them, please make a copy of the original files and copy the AWI tiles.dll into the TOT folder.

Many thanks goes to Curt and Fairline for their great graphics.
I hope you all will enjoy my first TOT scenario.

I need your help with the rules file:

rules file

When I use it in game, TOT crashs and get me back to the Desktop. It shows the following error message:

Error "-4"
module "3"
data 27 0

I can´t find the mistake in the @IMPROVE section on the line 27. Maybe someone could help me.

[curtsibling]

The rules problem will be a mis-spelled tech name or missing comma.

It is most likely a typo or missing dot...
Check the TECH, IMPROVEMENT and UNIT sections with a fine tooth comb.

PS
The downloads don't seem to work...

[civ2units]

Hm, I´ve checked this all, but I can´t find any mistake.

I´ve found the mistake; there was a missing line in the @ENDWONDERS section. Now everything works.
