Contemplating...

[rmsharpe]

I'm thinking of getting back into the scenario business... but I don't know what I want to do yet. Unfortunately, it seems like business around here has slowed down lately.

Now that's excellent news: welcome back!

Unfortunately, it seems like business around here has slowed down lately.

Actually, I don't think it really slowed down since you left: there might be a few less posters, but most are really dedicated!

And a few new posters appeared who got really involved in the creation process!

Then there are the newbies (:oints to self: who are enthusiastic and semi-talented but not inspired enough to do anything either, but would be more than willing to help with anyone who can drive something forward.

We could use some more Medieval scenarios, preferably ones that don't feel that covering all of Europe at once is a good idea.

I've an idea (in another thread) for doing the wars between England and Scotland, but because I know nada about how to make scenarios in ToT, its bogged down.

Hey there, old man! Long time no see - !
Hope life has been treating you OK.



If you wanted to do a scenario I would be happy to help out.

Things are still forging ahead here, a few people retired -

But the small core of CIV people are still strong.

Great! What period were you thinking of for the scenario?

Very well! I finished my first year at the University of Minnesota （ミネソタ大学） with, as you might expect, a major in Japanese.

Also, I found an apartment and now I live in the wretched, festering pile known as Minneapolis! I live within a block of campus and about a dozen bars within a five block radius. I live on the 14th floor in a building with no central air conditioning and elevators that break down at least once a month. It's like the Siege of Leningrad!

Most certainly it will be 1900-, although I don't know when or where within that timeline.

I hope you are not also coming under daily 60cm Karl mortar fire? It would be quite an ordeal!

But seriously, glad to hear that your forging ahead!

I was in the USA myself recently - The lovely little burg of Morgantown WV. Enjoyed my stay very much.
Was in Washington DC also, to see the excellent buidlings, not to mention the brilliant Smithsonian museum.
Seen the Spirit of St Louis and a real Bf-109, Mustang and Me-262...Some lifetime WW2 ambitions fulfilled!

About scenarios - How about one set during the Soviet conquest of Afghanistan, or perhaps the Falklands?

Not sure what your most favoured time/era is...But I am sure we have units for whatever you choose!

[rmsharpe]

Curt, do you happen to have the maps you used for Dictator VI and Dictator VII?

[curtsibling]

Sure thing!

Hope these are useful...

[rmsharpe]

I'll just say right now I'm switching to TOT... after seeing what it can do, I think it's a worthwhile endeavor.

[curtsibling]

Good choice! Plenty of options...!

(Disclaimer: MGE is great too)

[rmsharpe]

I like the option of having those expanded features.

By the way, can I have your permission to use some of your files from the Dictator series?

[curtsibling]

Please help yourself to anything that is useful!
