A Divided Nation - Creation Thread

[McMonkey]

Looking good! How are things progressing in general?

[civ2units]

I´ve some free time now so I´m be able to work on it. The map itself is divided in two parts (Western and Eastern). Currently I´m working on the Western Theater. The events will be the most work.

Here are some screenshots, now from the Eastern Theater.

First a little screen from the siege of Atlanta, the second are a battle between the Ironclads.

The Garibaldi Guard.

Btw, does anyone know how I can avoid the oil icon which I´ve marked in red?

[torbk]

You can replace its graphics with nothing at all if nothing else works?

The problem is that I would like to see great factory icon instead of the oil icon. I´ve copied the Static.spr and Resource.spr files into the folder but it doesn´t work. Do I need a special one?

During my tests with the events I also noticed a little problem. At a random point Barbarians are created via events at New York. Instead of attacking the city they fortifies. I´m using the Partisan slot for the units and have used the CivStack programm to create fortresses on every square. What do I have to do the the Barbarians attacking my cities?

Here are the stats of the unit:

Armed Citizens, nil, 0, 2.,0, 5a,2d, 1h,2f, 4,0, 0, X3, 000000001000011

Have you tried using a MOVEUNIT event to move all Barbarian units in the area toward NYC?

[techumseh]

Change their movement to something other than 2. Barbarian cavalry (which is how the AI reads your unit) are programmed to stop in fortress squares.

Also, if you have no air units in the scenario, use airbases on each square, rather than fortresses. AI ground unit movement is affected in a number of ways by fortresses, but not by airbases.

There's a dummy sprite that eliminates the oil 'bug'. It's available on Catfish's site, along with his very valuable guide to sprites, here: http://users.tpg.com.au/jpwbeest/jp_sprites.htm

I´ve changed the units, my Armed Citizens are now in the Musketeer slot and it works now. Also I´ve changed the movement rates.

I can´t use the airbases, because the Union has one air unit.

Thanks for the dummy, the oil-bug is removed

[civ2units]

I´m now ready with the Eastern Theater, Union campaign. I will make a final playtest for myself and then post it on the SL on weekend. Please note, it will be a playtest version, not the final one.

It looks magnificent!

Cool, can't wait to see this
