BITTERFROST - Test of Time Version

[curtsibling]

@Cyrion:
Please, take what you wish!
I owe you for not getting those riders done!

@our_man:
Correct!
The huge events space of ToT will be used for some fun quests!
The rewards will be gold, spells, and some special units.

@fairline:
You got it!
You may notice some cheesy heroes on the 2nd last row of units in the above post.

And more will be made!

I plan to give each civ a special unit. Even those evil Ancients!

Looking forward to this one too, Curt! ToT scenarios are pretty thin on the ground, and this one is sure to be a classic if its an enhanced version of the MGE scenario.

It's probably too late for unit suggestions, but how about some individual hero units. I know you had events-produced super-units in the first version, but how about some individual character units to embark on quests with?

[our_man]

Looking good Curt!

Do I take the presence of treasure chests and books in the units.gif to mean that the player will get to embark on quests in this scenario a la Midgard ?

[Cyrion]

Superb units Curt (which is no surprise...)!

May I borrow your crossbowman for Discworld??

[curtsibling]

Will Keenan and Favouredflight are high in my esteem for their gracious permission for unit tweaking!

[curtsibling]

And here are the current units.

(LOL! - I was lying a bit when I said there would be no new units!)

[curtsibling]

Catfish!
Good idea!

I was considering a rampaging monster type thing...I just didn't know what to use.

Time to have a look at my unit archive and see about putting together some 'natural wildlife'!

You're doing better than I am.

Speaking of unit suggestions, bearing in mind I haven't played the MGE version, how about a sasquatch or yeti (since the former has received some attention in these forums - the latter, its eastern brother from colder climes). That sasquatch I posted in the showcase is a rip from WC3, which uses the same model for the yeti. In the yeti, you could have a powerful, randomly appearing barbarian unit which ambushes unsuspecting foe. To make use of ToT's Advanced Units fields, make it unbribable, invisible until attack (they're pretty elusive creatures), but should it be killed, you get a gold reward for its pelt.

True WW2 stuff is more popular, but that is the reason I made Bitterfrost.
(not for manboobs!)

We all get tired of panzer action now and then, and fantasy scenarios are welcome change.

And no sirah, I am not abandoning this one.

A lich with manboobs? Bitterfrost is indeed a strange place.

So what I will be making is an enhanced version of the MGE Bitterfrost.
I want to get this project out of the way, so I can get moving on some other very interesting scenarios.

I figured, at one stage, that you'd actually abandoned the project.

The lack of responses about extra units etc have convinced me that the
next ToT scenario I plan will have to feature tanks and aircraft!

There could be a very good reason for the lack of responses. People who have ToT don't have/use MGE and vice versa. To be able to provide suitable suggestions for additional units, you would really have to have experience with the MGE version first in order to understand the theme of the scenario. On the other hand, it might be because this is the WWII MGE forum.

After reviewing the graphics and other items, I have came to a bit of a choice with Bitterfrost.

I have decided to stick with the current units and to use the cool catfish terrain,
but apart from some extra events, it will be too much work right now to add a whole host of new units and maps etc.

PS
Thanks for the terrain usage, they really make the whole scenario shine!

Of course, If he wills it so, I will be making use Mr Catfish's rather impressive graphic mods of the MGE version!

Yeah, no problem, Curt. I updated the mountains but didn't end up posting them. With Apolyton's Upload delete function being broken for the last few weeks and the fact that my ISP gives me 10 Mb free web space, I decided to finally make use of it and upload the terrains there.

I just noticed a new title page. What happened to that busty Sheila? Did an angry sasquatch demand its bikini back?

[curtsibling]

So has anyone got any suggestions for new units?

Or shall I just surprise you all?

[curtsibling]

LOL!
