A question

[AGRICOLA]

The scen does not have customized unit descriptions. It does have customized Game Concepts that include some general info on units such as hobbits and heroes.

Ahhhh. Somehow I never noticed that before, then. Dur, I'm an idiot.

Oh well, better me being an oblivious dolt than the scenario being broken. I must say that reading the entry for say, Alpine Troops when looking in this scenario is most bizzare, though.

Thanks again, and my appologies for not checking that area first and avoiding this whole tangle.

Oh good. Better you looking retarded than me.

You can disable the Description buttons for all the units in the Civilopedia by replacing all the numbers in the @@UNIT_INDEX list (describe.txt) with -1.

Or . . . .

You can also simply rewrite all the descriptions in the describe.txt

Not a job I'd want.

I think Koby did it. Once.

I have done it in Aeterna Civitas II. Well, I stole the text from the DBA manual I have and from Rome Total Realism. They put things much better than I could have and saved me a lot of time!

The moral of the post is that plagiarism rules!

In a scenario with a similar theme to Kobayashi's I used excerpts from Tolkien's books and grabbed bits and pieces from the Internet and reference books. I wrote some sections myself. That process took long enough itself, let alone having to write entire descriptions from scratch for every single entry. Boring as bat****, but the result is impressive.

So long as you acknowledge your sources.

I rewrote the descriptions for all techs, units, improvements and wonders in Discworld!

Massive amount of work, and I'm not even sure anybody read it...

But (if you read it) it can bring a lot of flavour!

[Elensar]

It does. Something like Discworld cries out for description, because taking it as a serious scenario where you get wrapped up in the scenario more like how you do in standard Civ...doesn't do justice to picking the setting.

I think its worth it, as long as one has stuff that seems worth saying.

The units file as it currently looks (mostly unchanged, but I wanted to see what people thought)

Erwan's Units and the Justinian scenario by Carl Fritz deserve primary credit as a "base", though the heads used on Eomer and Theoden are borrowed from Favored Flight's RotK scenario (his Theoden unit, namely, the hair recolored for Eomer, and the long extension removed for Theoden)

Comments? Questions? Suggestions?

Part of this I'm reasonably happy with (Theoden and Eomer), but Aragorn...not so much. Doing justice to him is hard.
