The Sea Kings!

[Gagliaudo]

I've a little request for you, EZRhino: I really like your map, so I wonder if it's possible convert it in a MGE map...

I'd like play with it, 'cause it's a large (and great ) map, covering that interesting areas between Greece, Egypt, Syria, Palestine, Anatolia, with islands and seas well represented and (I suppose) funnily playable

and... hope your work go on, of course

[EZRhino]

If you like Gagliaudo, I will send you an MGE friendly version of the map. I'm not sure it would make for a good vanilla game though, the terrain slots have moved around quite a bit:/

[Gagliaudo]

I like, very much
then I'll wait for your kind gift
thanx

no matter about terrains (thanx for the 'warning' ) .... in case I'll change them....

Sadly, you can only add resources to squares within the pattern.

One of these days, I'll program a utility that can be understood and used by someone other than me.

Thanks, I hope it lives up to everybody's expectations. Btw I enjoyed your scenarios, especially GokTurk.

Thanks Boco. I've been occupied with RL lately, but I'm still really excited to work on the Sea Kings. I'm working on the rules.txt still, the Civilize2 and Leaders2 sections. The tech-tree is done. I've made up a skeleton events.txt. I think things should be playable before too long I hope

[Von Bert]

Btw I enjoyed your scenarios, especially GokTurk.

well.. that is not mine..
I'm still "virgin" here..as scenario maker...
as someone say of NATO (OTAN)
Not Action Talk Only..
maybe does not reflect the Nato this days ( too bad.. )
but surely is related to my presence on the forum til now !!!

I hope i can finish my scenario before the hot will come with summer.. as my PC will crash continuosly then.. with 35 c° around ..

keep on your super good work !

lol Sorry Von Bert, I mistook you for Turno/Prometheus. This sudden influx of Italians is confusing me a little bit

Still, thank you for your support, I hope you will enjoy the finished product

[Turno]

BTW have you tested correctly sounds, didn't you?

I'm planning to use Chariots of war sounds for my upcoming Zhanguo remake, 'cause they sound more bronze-style then Civ sounds... If you need...

... the Italian invasion (a future scenario???)

[EZRhino]

I've noticed an interesting bug. Perhaps somebody here has encountered it before?

Land seems to be improving itself i.e. irrigation and roads, in the complete absence of settler units. This seems to happen on several tiles nearby a city on the first turn of play. It's especially prevalent around barbarian cities for some reason. Any ideas?

[McMonkey]

I have noticed this before too. I figured the AI gets given these improved squares to boost its progress but I am afraid I have no explaination for why this happens. Have deleted these improvements and seen them come back!

[EZRhino]

Now that I have some free time finally, I think I will be able to make some solid progress in the next few weeks.

Here is a sample of some of Fairline's excellent New Kingdom Egyptians.

[GhostOfDisco]

Look good. I like the map in particular - I might use it in the Crusades scenario I might make down the line. If that's OK with you, of course.

Also, why do you have the zoom set to maximum? With "normal zoom" you could get the same detail, and with smaller (and smaller memory size!) pics.

[Gagliaudo]

great screenie! great fairline pieces !
