Something New This Way Cometh

[The ANZAC]

I was thinking the units would be nearly invisible, almost like what Nemo wanted to do with Battle of Britain. And then you would be blundering around in the dark I would only be for a few hours ofcourse

Hmmmm. No dice. It is a great idea, but it'll alter the pallete to something that civ doesnt like of course. You could go in and manually recolour (or using the pallete method) all of the pixels to a few shades darker.

Procedure for PSP 7:

-save the Civ2 palette
-increase colours to 16 million
-right-sample each transparent colour
-CTRL+T and deselect the sampled background colour
-Colours > Adjust > Brightness&Contrast
-load the Civ2 palette

You might have problems if your using the original Microprose palette in cities.gif and terrains.gif. I don't.

DarthVeda, in my Persian Wars scenario each year last four turns: Fall, Spring, Summer, Winter.

I have named every third month Fall, Spring, Summer, Winter and put the turn year increment(or whatever it is called) to 3.

In the original WWII civ2 scenario that comes with the game, the time scale is two months per turn. The same with Age of Napoleon that comes with Conflicts in Civilization.

P.S What about Operation Greif?

P.S 2.
Does anubody know the casualty figures for the battle of the Ardennes? The most objective ones i could find were 100.000 Germans and 88.000 Americans with 1.200 British. The German looses seem inflated IMHO. Their battle casualties(dead and wounded) were light i speculate, since they lost almost no tactical battle on the Wacht am Rhein operation(apart from Bastogne that is). Unless the Wermacht surrendered by the thousands to the Americans (which was certainly not typical for the quality of troops involved), the historians have intentionally hidden the truth.

[DarthVeda]

you know what I'm not good at keeping deadlines and probably won't be able to keep this one

[The ANZAC]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[DarthVeda]

Here's a taste of things to come...

[DarthVeda]

and night time...

[The ANZAC]

Have you seen Scott Fluhr's Jagdtiger? Not that Pap's is bad, but Scott's is a little better proportioned. It's on the last pageof the graphics showcase thread

This looks great, can't wait, can't wait...

Edit: Pap, not jimmy

[St Leo]

Do your shields look right at night? You've changed the reserved red flood colour.

[DarthVeda]

to be honest I haven't tried it yet...

[Case]

Why are all the British units marked 'free'? British troops played a significant role in the battle...

[DarthVeda]

I have not been able to find an example of British winter wear.

[The ANZAC]

How come you have units marked as "free" in general? Is it because you haven't found the right graphics yet or is it because those slots ae free?

Leo: what do those red shields in the corner do? And if the Pink colored ones in the corner are modified, can you change the shape of the shield? Probably not...

[Henrik]

Yes you can...
However about 50% of the shield will be behind the power bar and thus invicible ingame
