American War of Independence - Creation Thread

[civ2units]

I´ve got a problem, unfortunatelly my harddisk has crashed and I´ve lost most of my civ2 relevant stuff. I´ve made a backup of it but it´s a long time ago. I also hope that I will find my original civ2 TOT CD to reinstall the game.

I only would like to let you know, that you have to wait for the updated AWI scenario.

Hope you get the updated version sorted out c2u. I have been taking a look at the current version this evening and it looks great. If I could make one suggestion it would be for a good "Players notes" file to be included outlining the objectives, a very general outline of what to expect from events (IE unit arrivals), a brief strategy guide and a short brief on what is happening historically. This would help orient new players (like myself) who are not so familiar with the American War of Independence.

I know in the past I have enjoyed scenarios with a good read me as it means I don't have to play a load of turns just trying to work out what the hell is going on and what I should be doing. Just an idea

[civ2units]

Luckily I´ve found a CD where I´ve made a nearly current backup from my civ2 stuff. But I don´t know, how long I need for the update. Because I´ve to do many things in RL and also start with the civilwar scenario.

Sounds interesting with the guides. I think I can include it with the units stats which I will post with the new version.

Was there anything (graphical) you required from me, C2U?

[civ2units]

There are some graphics I´m looking for, I would like to send you a email with a little list of the stuff I would like to have.

[fairline]

Any more units needed?

[civ2units]

For my civilwar scenario I´m looking for additional units. If you could paint them I would be very happy.

[civ2units]

I tried to use the civstack utility to add a fortress on all terrains. Unfortunatelly the program doesn´t work with TOT. Does anyone have a version which works with TOT?

[civ2units]

Is it possible to create an event, where civ A gets a tech and then the RandomTurn trigger starts and creates in random turns new units?

[Gelion]

To my knowledge you cannot trigger a recurring event.

Hi civ2units,
You can make a trigger like this pretty easily like so:

@IF
ReceiveTechnology
receiver=Anybody
technology=43
@AND
RandomTurn
denominator=60
@THEN
CreateUnit
owner=TriggerReceiver
unit=Maryannu
veteran=no
homecity=none
InCapital
locations
0,0
endlocations
@ENDIF

[civ2units]

Great, looks interesting. I will check this out.

I honestly didn't know that you could do that. I will also try it!

[civ2units]

I´ve now uploaded the latest files from my AWI scenario on the SL. You can find them here:
http://sleague.apolyton.net/index.ph...f_Independence

I´ve updated everything without the Sounds. They will be following as soon as possible.
I´ve also included a unit stats of all units available in the game. It´s in a pdf-format. Pease feel free to download it and have many fun with this scneario.

[civ2units]

A short readme for this scenario will be also following.

If you play with the Brits: Conquer every rebellious city. You can´t build regular units, so be carefully with them.

If you play with the Americans: Survive. You will get the Continental Army tech when you hold Valley Forge until summer 1778 (which allows you to build Continental Lines and Dragoons). Hold also over ten important cities until 1778 to ensure French intervention into the war.
I will write the details in the readme file.
