Imperium Romanum released...

[BeBMan]

Ok, here is it (temporarily on my second account, due to some DL problems with my crosswinds site):

http://home.debitel.net/user/bbrosing/ImpRomEng.zip (English)

http://home.debitel.net/user/bbrosing/ImpRomGer.zip (German)

http://home.debitel.net/user/bbrosing/ImpRomSnd.zip (Sounds)

Please make sure that you have setup the scenario correctly before you start it (see under "Installation" in the readme)

There are also some minor bugs, but they aren´t important for the gameplay:

-some land units appear as transporters in the civilopedia, despite the "carry units" flag is not activated (and of course they can´t carry other units)
-sometimes your units can receive a strange "goto" order, seems to be a little civbug
-ignore the "xy has maked peace with z" messages that somtimes appear, they have no meaning.

I think most interesting is the game as Romans, then as Macedonians, Phoenicians are easier in the beginning.

Ok, that´s all...have fun!


Here´s a minor update for the (English)scenario:

Here´s the same for the german version:

and a little textfile that explains the update(in both English and German):

Bah! Can't use my sig

[Kull]

When I used the civilopedia to check unit stats, the graphic for "Heavy Armoured" turned out to be a different unit from the same-name guys who are currently assaulting Rome. I recommend against using identical names for different units, since it can be confusing to the player AND the game.

I was VERY confused about the "Fabrica" in Rome. The civilopedia seemed to indicate that it's an improvement called "Manufactur" (they have the same graphic). Only after some digging did I realize that Fabrica can't be built (and thus won't appear in the pedia), and really IS a different improvement entirely. You might want to explain that in the readme.

These really are minor criticisms. Overall, the look and feel of the scenario can only be described as "succulent"!
