@St. Leo:
@Pericles:
@gerryandersson:

I hope to have addressed the giant map problem, with breaking the island up some...

I have made it a bit smaller, with individual continents.

[tanelorn]

I am very pleased at these news.
I did some thinking on the undead rising thing. If the skeletons rise within the undead capital hex itself, the city will be unbeatable, cause its defenders will resurrect instantly, each time they are slain. But if they resurrect nearby, there will be no such issue.

I am even more so looking forward to a possible ToT version with full unit descriptions and claustrophobic multi-map level undeground tunnel fighting, ToT style!
Please????

[Palaiologos]

If i read your post corectly Timoleon your idea was that for every unit the undead kill they get an extra unit......

Of course that would take a ton of events space.........

[curtsibling]

I have a system in place for the undead now..

A skeleton warrior or vile skeleton will be ressurected.

A spectre, wight or lord wight must be rebuilt from scratch.

(A ToT version may have a skeleton version for each human victim, a paladin will become a wight lord, etc)

And remember, the city will be protected by the best defence unit...In this case the King Lich!

Also, vile skeletons and skeleton warriors are attackers, these guys will debark from the city as soon as they are re-animated...

Watch out!

PS
I am about to test the latest (new map) version!

I'll be back soon with my findings!

[curtsibling]

And the undead Lich and Ancient Soceress are MUCH harder to kill...

[techumseh]

Nice one Curt. I'm glad to see you take a break from WWII/Cold War scns.

I'd be happy to assist with a ToT version, esp. with fine tuning inter-map movement and/or events. Consider the possibilities!

[curtsibling]

@techumseh:

It would be an honour to have your assistance!
I think a ToT version of this scen would be a winner.

Imagine:
A seperate map that is the Ancient's evil world, accessed from a ruins area in the centre of the map...

A transport to the map of the Undead doomlands...

A map that leads to the Imperion's kingdom...

Wow!
This has got my mind going!

If you are up for it, I would be happy to create some new maps and units!

Hey!
Perhaps you can help me with a problem that has just begun to appear...

Whenever I load a game, it has the cheat mode on, I suspect it must be something to do with the game.txt...

Any ideas?

[tanelorn]

@ Pericles & Curt, it slipped my mind that :

@IF
UNITKILLED
unit=ANYUNIT
attacker=Undead Empire
defender=ANYBODY
@THEN
CREATEUNIT
unit=Vile Skeleton
owner=TRIGGERATTACKER
veteran=no
homecity=Doomridden
locations
189,57
endlocations
@ENDIF

is only possible in ToT. I could swear I had seen the ANYUNIT parameter somewhere, unfortunately that was in the Midgard scenario, Damn. Is everybody certain ANYUNIT is not possible in MGE? That would really save space.

I did some thinking on the undead rising thing. If the skeletons rise within the undead capital hex itself, the city will be unbeatable, cause its defenders will resurrect instantly, each time they are slain.

In ToT, maybe you can use a delay=1 modifier.

That's not a game.txt issue.

Have you tried restarting Civ2? Sometimes, I think especially after you completed a game in cheat mode, the cheat mode "sticks" and all subsequent games have the cheat mode turned on. Restarting Civ2 fixes that.

If that isn't the problem, it must be something in the savegame/scenario. But I don't think that can happen, because saving as a scenario will turn cheat mode off.

No it isn't. ANYUNIT appears in my FW macro.txt as well. Palaiologos must've forgotten.

[curtsibling]

Mercator, you are right, the problem righted itself!

Only to be replaced with a crazier problem.

The system I have now in the scen is that colonists (workers) appear in your city every year.

No problem there...

Except that the crazed, insane AI will not build any cities!!!!

The Zatarn are happily building a huge flea-covered empire, the Harpies are even expanding a bit...

The undead are embroiled in a conflict with the evil Ancients (who are definitely a bit deadly in this version)

But the Coven and Crusaders have a ton of settlers, but refuse to use them...Despite an abundance of plains and grasslands near them...What gives????

Someone help!
EEK!

[curtsibling]

@tanelorn:

Nice event, I'll add it in...

[Palaiologos]

I am certain that ANYUNIT killed doesn't work in MGE.
Just tested it and the game crashes.It is obvioulsy looking for a unit called "Anyunit".

But i thought the events language of both FW and MGE were identical...

Hmmm....?

[Palaiologos]

You can have

MOVEUNIT
unit=ANYUNIT

though...

[Palaiologos]

Curt if it isn't to hard send me those scenario files.Perhaps i can help you with the settler problem.

Are you sure they are settlers(have they the settler flag i mean)?
