Vendetta - Under construction!

[Art of War]

Hey Curt, would you mind if I used some units of yours from Vendetta?

In this scenario, the USA had a revolution, hence the UFA name.

All the military personnel in the possesions of the USA, either went back to the US to claim a place in the new order,
or they went like the general in Apocalypse Now and declared independance from the ex-USA.

Honolulu is one such city.

And about Oslo being bigger than Stockholm?
It is a top holiday resort for the Germans! Honest!

That explains everything! Thanks (btw im in the playtest)

Jimmy and I just chatted - and our ideas include some really drastic ideas.

The story would have to be changed a little and:
We would need completely new German city graphics.

All fancy and pompously.

The most little graphic should (thats really important) be like a little Garten Eden - you know a village which is more than beautiful like a western oasis with lots of avenues and trees and stuff.

Temples and etc should be white marmoured.


Ok, I guess that would be really much work, wouldnt it?
But this would give the scen really a lot of flair.
The Changes: We would raise all former Russian big cities - as Hitler wished and recolonise it with little fancy villages.
In the west citys get perhaps a little smaller as people went to the east colonizing.
Infrastructure shall be highly improved.

Jim and I will present a map but you will have to wait a week cause tomorrow I will fly to Ibiza!

Holidays!

Perhaps I can finish work today but I don´t think there is a big chance.

Curt, there's a problem with the city improvements unique for each civilization. Neither the Australians State Brewery or the UFA's Federal Garrison make citizens happy; neither civ has the appropriate technology (e.g. monotheism) for these improvements to work.

I was playing again as the Red Empire; a few questions with regard to these guys:

1) how can they get to build nukes?
2) there's a wonder called Red Central HQ in the pedia, that can't be built. Was this an oversight, or is it just a leftover wonder that you didn't want in the scenario?

Please, be my guest!

As long as you credit me and anyone else involved in making them!

ideas

This must be one of the most inspiring scens ever, a regular brainstorm of ideas for everybody...
Some rather unsophisticated looking nubian fighters I got inspired into drawing, I play as the Africans now, cool . I was thinking, what about a pan-african crusade event to liberate Aksum and Nubia (Addis Abeba & Khartum)?
What about making the African fighter a STOLV, like the Harrier (helicopter stats, fighter flag on, small range)?
Being a tactical oriented, low tech army, a no airfields fighter would suit them great, making them even more different to play. As for the Australians, they could opt for range at all costs, having to span the pacific ocean!
Oh Curt, you've set all those minds in fire!!!

Yep, I know, dude.

I was really just making them into flavour improvents, both civs do not suffer from chronic civilian mood problems...

1)Due to a shortage of events room, I couldn't make the Red Empire be awarded the nukes, so I will give them the tech chain that leads to them 'Missile Level I'...

2)Aha! That is fixed now, it should be buildable to the Reds from the start.

Thanks for spotting that one!

A new zip is nigh, I feel!

Thanks, my friend!

I like that African fighter Idea, I'll get right on it!

Can I use your first plane design?

[curtsibling]

Guys, a new zip is up, with various fixes as discussed in the last few posts!

Minor tweaks, and nothing event based, so you can overwrite your files right now!

[curtsibling]

Tanelorn has given me an idea (again!), I think the African campaign is my favourite!

at some point, I might be tempted to make a quick scenario based on this campaign alone!

[Cifer Almasy]

What do you think of the Reich´s changes we proposed?

[academia]

Mmm... i´m going to make two comments...

1) Do you really like the gigamap you are using curt? You know, there are better and bigger gigamaps around. like the one used in imp1870 or in 2194 days gigamap version

2) Mmm... this is extremely personal, but i really hate to follow plots-guidelines in a "what if" scenario like the one we are playing here. I don´t like those events that allow me / don´t allow me to negotiate, sign peace, form alliances with whoever i want and whenever i want. I can´t do it
I strongly believe that these "what if" scenarios should give us more freedom to choose our own path.

Again, it´s just my point of view

[Cifer Almasy]

Its funny: I also wanted to propose you taking another map at this moment- cause this one as a little to small. I worked on the map pap used for 2194 GIGA. And I think France looks better now.
But about the techs that you have to research having war or peace with someone - I think they are great. Cause if I play normal Civ2 (I usually dont play no non-scenarios anymore) the AI always declares war on me - every single civ. And that makes me angry cause its not realistic. So I think Curt found a nice solution.

Of course, i don´t agree with you. I hate this characteristic... we have different point of views.
Anyway, i can take it in a singleplayer game... but curt... if you are going to release a multiplayer version i strongly suggest you to delete those events.

YES of corse! If you play MP these events do have to be deleted.

What do you mean with: "I hate this characteristic"???
