SubWar release...

[BeBMan]

...is planned for next weekend. I don´t know if many here are interested in SciFi scns, since we have mainly historical scns here, but let´s see...

However, for those who don´t know it, here is the SubWar preview page:

http://www.civ2000.civ2.gamigo.de/en...000preview.htm

You can download also a modified city screen for the scn from that page.

Wow, Bernd! Though I'm not very interested in Sci-fi , let me tell you that those screenshots look amazing! I'm looking forward to give SubWar a try!

[Prometeus]

Congratulations, Bernd!!!

And three for my comp... Lost original Gok blue scen a few minutes ago...

[techumseh]

Looking forward to this one, indeed.

[MagyarCrusader]

Holy crap man! Those graphics kick @$$!!!

[Jay Bee]

I am not a fan of sci-fi scenarios at all but I think I'll make an exception with this one Send it over when you have got the final version, Bernd.

[WarVoid]

I'm a huge sci-fi fan, so yes, this is awesome! I'm looking forward to this scenario!

Funny coincidence: MicroProse originally distributed Civ2 and Civ1. MicroProse also wrote a game called SubWar.

[Giant_Squid]

Aaaah! PLEASE say that "requires MGE version" thing is a mistake!

[BeBMan]

Yes, it is for MGE. There are a lot of naval units, so the higher aggressive AI of MGE is better here...Perhaps I can find an older FW version (I started under FW) and bring it on the newest level, but that needs a bit time, I will not promise it

[Goingonit]

I loved that game by MicroProse! Its 3D graphics were years ahead of its time, and its storyline sounds great for a Civ 2 Scenario.

Looks great, BeBro.

I didn't know that MGE's AI was more agressive than FW's. So, has this been discussed here already?

[Leonidas]

Looking great. Can't wait to play it

I think so In MGE the AI does not care about your reputation, and thus is more likely to sneak attack any time. That did not happen in the other versions.

The scen' is great BeBro, I can tell.

The German version...

...is available now under http://www.civ2000.civ2.gamigo.de/SubWar.htm ,
if one is familiar with the german language.

I have to make some corrections on the English version, but it should be available tomorrow too However, the sounds and the city.gif available via the link above are of course identical for both versions...

In the meantime some details about the game: In my eyes it is some kind of an experiment, because it is not a typical empire building scn. You can only play one civ (SubForce), and you have to take all cities in only 140 turns, which means that you have to concentrate on your objectives. You can found bases, build settlers or diplos (later), but in the end you always should be in mind that of course the combat units are most important.

Also, you have to find safe routes for your troop transports with recon units, and you have to escort vulnerable units with other, stronger units to spot and destroy enemies before they can wreak havoc on your transports...Especially in the early part, a loss of some units can be serious.

The events play a big role, they tell a background story and give you sometimes helpful info to complete the game, so please read text messages carefully

Finally, the scn comes with HTML helpfiles instead of a normal readme...
