Escape from Sol Scenario V1.0 Alpha Now available

[Kestrel]

Yes folks,

the Test of Time scenario I have been working on for the last few weeks is now available for download from :
http://www.users.bigpond.com/kestrel17

For further details see the Overview Synopsis which can be found at :
http://www.users.bigpond.com/kestrel17
/UM-OVIEW.htm

Yet more details can be found in the embedded read-me file and in the Civilopedia.

Doubtless it still contains one or two bugs, but it appears to play-test O.K. and most things even work (gasp) !

Any constructive criticism welcomed.

Enjoy,

Whoops,

Note all that the latest Escape-from-Sol zip on my web-site is currently 'bad'.

(Looks like an incomplete upload)

I will repost tonight.

[Kestrel]

O.K. I've uploaded the Zip again, hopefully that has fixed the problem.

(When I re-downloaded it seemed to be O.K.)

Sorry about that folks...

Hey, I was reading the file, sounds cool. I am going to test out the scenario. Also, how can you make scenarios on this game with extra maps? Do you have to use the import and export commands?

[Civfan]

Hey Dj, the way you make multiply maps in a scenario is you import them into the game. But remember, importing maps doesn't always work. You can only use 1 map in the original game and 2 in the extended game. The fantasy and Sci-fi can use all 4 maps. Just import them when your building the scenario. .....Civfan

(Hey Civfan,before school started, were you the one on mns gaming zone with me playing Civ 2? This is dvqh.) Anyways, I don't have much time on the internet like in the summer, so can you kinda be more specific about how this works? This is what I know so far: On the orginal game you only have one map in which you can't use the import command. Well I tried using it on the fantasy game to import a map from the Masters of Orion scenario in Civ2MG and I couldn't. Do you have to use the sicfi senario to import other maps?

Hey Kestrel, you scenario is awesome. (I haven't finish it yet though.)I think I see where you were coming at in having the technology the way it is in the future. Did you paint the teleports? Oh.. one more thing, Civfan, I did try to place another map in the original game which worked, but I couldn't place any teleports to get to the other map and I also couldn't place another map in the game. What should I do?

(Boy have I been off the internet for a while now. It's surprising that I can still remember my password. What do you think MarkG, if you out there. My next visit my be next year. YIKES!!!!!)
