New version of RiverWar

[Allard HS]

Thanks mostly to the beautiful new unit graphics made by Fairline in the Industrial Showcase thread, I have been able to finish a version of River War.

This version, 2.0, has all-new art, some gameplay innovations, and 2 new civilizations to encounter in the darkest Africa. There are lots of other small things, but I'll let you find that out.

Part I - the scenario
Part II - the Guide

Splendid!

Sorry, minor mistake with first upload. It should be ok now...

[Palaiologos]

Oh...

That's why it stopped downloading about halfway through...

Downloading as we speak. I really enjoyed the first version, so I'm looking forward to this.

BTW Allard are you still working on that Greece/Turkey war over Cyprus scenario?

Christmas in August Nice one, Allard

DL/zip was OK for me. BTW if you use FW check the installation guide: it will tell you to either run MGEtoFW.bat or manually rename the FW versions of the labels, game and events2 files. Alternatively glare at your monitor cursing for 5 minutes when the scenario fails to load

Don't glare at the monitor, glare at your internet connection. The monitor is innocent!

Try DLing a second time, and don't be opening too many new windows or DLing other stuff.

I don't know why your download doesn't work, but i just put up the guide on geocities for online viewing. There you can download the scenario too, with perhaps better results.

Have a look here:

As for my Greek-Turkish War, it's going well, most apart from the events is ready, but I can't find time to haste it. It will come.. some day.

Thanks Allard! The first was a true gem that hooked me on designing scenario. I'm really looking forward to playing this one!

[techumseh]

It looks splendid! Welcome back, BTW.

So cool!

I'm not sure you understood there, Smiley old boy. The DL and zip were fine. I was referring to trying to start up the scenario in FW without reading the excellent installation guide (as I stupidly did); the labels, events2 and game.txt files are all MGE versions which cause the game to crash in FW and can be replaced either with the batch file Allard included or manually.

@Allard: excellent update Just one thing - should the Highlanders have worse stats than the regulars?

After i load the the part 2 events and reload the Riverwar.sav, the game crashes.
