Should crossbowmen be available earlier?

For units, can I suggest asking AlazkanAssassin to assist us with units that can be nifviewed/reboned and combined? That would free win up to just do models and animations.

Sure, we can ask AlazkanAssassin. A quick search showed me that he made some female units from the spy units and dismounted some other units to use as archers/infnatry. Has he helped create anything else that is good?

What buildings specifically? I'm slowly getting back into modeling.

Updated the wonder building list

Cool. I have quite a few of them modeled, but am procrastinating on texturing in case winddelay has a strong urge for them. ;)

I think winddelay might be having too much fun creating new units...

Adventurer's Guild (http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2695)?

I'm slowly trying to peck away at this list, but some aren't easy to visualize and subsequently modelize.

Found this forum and pics (http://meshboxbb.com/viewforum.php?f=57&sid=7db9834303254c0b55ff2d9e11d26283). Any objection to borrowing this guys ideas for any magic tower we need? I should be able to do a good model based on these pics.

Those towers look great. Go ahead an use those ideas.

How's this for a Tower of Enchantment?

http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/32561/Enchant0000.JPG

I know it needs a shadow, but I happy with the texture.

Looks pretty good. The stonework on the texture should be larger so that it is more visible at civscale, but everything else is great. :goodjob:

Here's an untextured Ironworks

http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/32561/IW.jpg

The ironworks looks good. Can't wait to see it textured :D

Just a few things I notice as I was playing.
-Playing as Rock Clan, cottages do not show up.
-Able to build Intelligence Agency with Espionage, even though it is the supposed unique building for the Great Spy. Not sure if it is intended, it so, maybe make the great spy one even better as they are both the same.
-When I encountered silver March, he had no greeting, just a blank space.
-Event/Quest for spreading corporation to x number of cities, maybe changing the wording to guilds and make it less 'modern'
-Calender comes after Astronomy, takes quite awhile to get plantations, once again, not sure if that is what you intended.
-Buildings that give culture do not have their culture value displayed in the build list

That is all for now. As stated before, fun Mod, thanks for all your hard work, keep it up.

zagaz...thanks for the input. I'll work on resolving the issues for Beta 2.

As for the Calender suggestion...what would be a better prerequisite for it? Maybe require Agriculture, Mathematics, and Mysticism?

For me it would be mathematics, everything mathematics is numbers, calendar (all numbers), just my opinion.:p

Is this also where we re-suggest custom music? Unfortunately, I am completely unfamiliar with the civs and leaders otherwise I would help comb through Newgrounds or other sites for appropriate music.

I've combed through newgrounds a little and picked a few tunes. I also put a request into the moddb.com Undertones Music guild to see if I can get a composer to make custom music. I do welcome suggestions for more tunes from public license sources (Like Newgrounds).

in my opinion, plantations shouldn't be dependent on Calender in the first place, since plantations are seasonal and you don't need to know how many days there are in the year to run a plantation.

What in your opinion would be a better tech to use for plantations, and what would its prerequisites be?

How's this one:

These bugs reported by coppertop will be added to the todo list.

So, just curious. When exactly is the release date for Beta 2? Cuz I'm very excited for it.

Beta 2 won't be ready until early summer (probobly June '08)....we still have a lot of work to do for it.

Cool. When the college year is over, I'll jus have to w8 a month or two. I like that. By the way, is June definite?

No, June is still tentative. The exact date will depend on what major changes are in the middle of completion and what outstanding bugs we have when its time to do a release.

Ok. Cool. Ty, man. By the way, if you want someone to play it when it's near completion and tell you the bugs, find me please. Ya know, figure the more people play it then, the more bugs you find and the more quickly you find em.

Progress report in first post updated.

Found this forum and pics (http://meshboxbb.com/viewforum.php?f=57&sid=7db9834303254c0b55ff2d9e11d26283). Any objection to borrowing this guys ideas for any magic tower we need? I should be able to do a good model based on these pics.

I don't know if this is still relevant, but one of my favorite pictures of a tower is something that Amano did for Final Fantasy VI (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/thumb/d/d0/AmanoTower.jpg/180px-AmanoTower.jpg).

That is pretty detailed tho, which makes it hard to do the model for it.

Marshlandgrass spawns on plains sometimes. Is this intended? If so how can I get rid of it?

Draegloth

Could I have some info on this unit please? Wat is a Draegloth? And wat is the lore behind it? Wat era is it available in? Etc.

Read about draegloths at http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Draegloth

I think I will make them available with the Fanaticsm tech, if there is a Dark Seldarine temple in the city, and if the state religion is Dark Seldarine. Also, I will only allow 1 Draegloth per civilization (National unit)

Ok, cool. I like that idea. Sounds like they'll be pretty strong then if ya can only build 1.

I think I will make the Draegloths as:
Str 9; Move 1; First Strike: 0-1; Req: Dark Seldarine Religion, Dark Seldarine Temple, Fanaticism Tech
Promotions: Demon, Poison Resistance, Magic Resistance

Does that sound good?

Yeah, very good. Lookin forward to it.

bumpydibump :p

I'll have to review the terrain generation python code to see why...
