Any of the developers or newplayers have any tips or strategies on playing the WW2 scenario?

Thanks.

What a cute response.

Unfortunately, it lacks that one bit of info.... the name of the correct forum. I apologize for posting about a mod in the modifications forum. Perhaps I should instead post it in the Tips and Strategy forum.

I though that would have been obvious, given that the title of the thread included the words "tips" and "strategies."
This forum is for user-created mods and scenarios, ie, "creation" and "customization" ;)

Heh, been a long time since I saw Zulu's little animation there :D

Wotan, there's a readme file in Mods/Desert War/Info folder which should cover the basics. If anything is unclear after that, just ask ... (in the Tips and Strategy forum, lest we get our heads chopped off... ;) )

Ooooh, you said "Tips" and "Strategies"! Makes perfect sense when you... when you.... think about it.....which apparently I didn't...

What I am trying to say is.... you are right... I was wrong... and thanks for correcting me.

And thanks for the pointer to the info on the mod, too.

Maybe you just meant "Tips and strategies on modding" the WW2 scenario.. ? ;)

Okay, to gently re-direct this thread toward appropriate material...

How easy will it be to take the Europe map one of the programmers is making, and plopping the Desert War scenario units, buildings and such into it?

Strategy: Make tanks, tanks, tanks, tanks, tanks, tanks, tanks, tanks, tanks, tanks, tanks, tanks, tanks, tanks, tanks, tanks, tanks, tanks, tanks, tanks, tanks, tanks, tanks, tanks & a few aircraft. :p

The scenario doesn't really have any units... Just renamed B-2's & Spitfire's... :rolleyes:
In civ3, moving those names would've been impossible (notice the word moving. In civ3 one could only replace ALL of the units at once) but now in civ4 and xml, it's a simple matter of copy-pasteing a few hundred lines of text! Huzaa!

btw, wotan: That animation has been used for atleast 2 years, maybe more, to scare people who post in the wrong place ;)

LOL! Oh, I have seen the animation before, years ago when I used to post stuff in the wrong forum back then..... good times...good times.... <sigh>

So, is there any organized effort to get unit graphics built?

i believe were pretty stuck to reskinning untill the SDK comes out

Unless you use blender or maya. There's an unit converter for those, me thinks. But I can't confirm that, as I don't have either of those.

A Blender converter is/was in development, but it's not ready yet.

The new skins are a plus, in any case. I'll check out the thread on modding those. Thanks.

you need a lot of tanks and a good amount of airplanes. (Lots of bombers and a hand full of fighters to keep their bomber off yours.)

Is there a thread around here that discusses scenario events and triggers and such? I don't want to start a new thread with every question I have. I did actually look in the tutorials folder here...nothing.

I sure miss the search feature on the forum.

Google search is available, put "civilization IV" (with the "s) before searching for what you want ;)

I did find a thread over at Apolyton on triggers. Thanks for the know-how on searching.
