Idea for New Scenario

[Crash Override]

Hi, I've just registered! I've been playing Civ 2:CTPII for ages though.

I really like the scenarios, and i can see that u have world war one and two incorperated into the World at War Scenario

I was thinking someone could write a WW3 Scenario, based upon Terminator or Matrix. Man vs Machine, that would be quite a cool game to play.

I've also been playing Civ 3, which i really like.

Speak to u soon ppl.

WW3 Scenario

I would if i knew how to program the number of turns and add new advances.

Is SLIC is easy to learn?

depends on what languages you know If you know c or Pascal it is easy to learn. if you have no programming skills that it could be tricky.

SLIC Programming

I know Pascal, but its been 3 years since I've done it.
I mainly program in Visual Basic or Java!

In that case you shouldn't have any problems. You know what these stuff is: !&&||+-/*%[]{}; So you just need to get familiar with the HandleEvent stuff. Just start looking on some scriptts and you should figure out how it works.

Well as long as you now VB you won’t have to much of a hard time.

Well if your making a scenario the best way to start is to work out the background story of you scenario and were it is going. This allows you to get some threads of a story line together to prevent it being a future game mod.

I am currently working on a scenario about space pirates . The story is that you colony got destroyed after the other colons never lived up to there side of the bargain. So you decide to go pirate the other colonies to rebuild you colony. You only have one ship (which is upgradeable) and have to steel if you want any more.

That sounds cool!

I dont mind my Scenario been a mod actually!

My Scenario is based around Terminator.

Between 1997 and 2029, The years after Skynet killed everybody and the beginning of the resistance to the War against Machines.

Nice now what units, tech, wonders you going to put in

[Crash Override]

I think since its based around Terminator, ill put in Terminators as the bad guy warriors, along with those hovercrafts, and different robots.
I might have a legendary unit called John Connor, if he dies then the game finishes, or do you think that's too much.

Techs

Advanced Robotics, Artificial Intellegence, Advanced Magnetism and Physics of Gravity.

City Improvements
AI Computer.

Wonders
SkyNet.

Your one sided you seam to only be looking a the machines. what you know need is a parallel tech tree for the human survivors.

and john Connor is easy to do.

[Crash Override]

Okay, ill look into a paralell tech tree for the weapons, as far as i can remember they used Laser weapons.

So Lasers would be a good tech and Advanced Military Tactics, EMP Weapons might be handy too.

[The Big Mc]

and the explosives on t1

[Crash Override]

Yeah that would be cool!!

[The Big Mc]

Crash how far you got then.
