Cool! Some good stuff here.

I guess the obvious thing would be for zap to add this into the full 2.6 release if you are both in agreement, and with some pre-testing to ensure stability.

We really need those bridges and missile carriers:goodjob: Do the bridges carry electricity from the Three Georges Dam to the islands? I foresee a global electricity grid:mischief:

Are the satellites "real" ie orbit about the planet by themselves revieliing terrain in the early space age up to units in the more advanced space age. Or are they just units I have to move into position myself? Can they only be attacked by missiles and other satellites? Wouldn't want those dogs destroying them would we :) Yes, I have had this idea in the back of my mind for a long time but do not have the skill set (yet) to impliment it.

Dancing Hoskuld: No, bridges don't carry electricity from the Three Georges Dam :) Not yet;) I will see what i can do with this idea.
Satellites are only simple invisible recon units which we can move where we want. They are invisible units and only satellite can see other satellites :) Space Station can also transport 2 rockets... This is not advanced module but i can try expand it with your idea but after releasing final version of my addon. Final version I planning to release after converting it to work with final release of RoM 2.6. For now it working fine with RoM 2.5x.

Bridges "must have", realy! Satellites should be once deployable like in C&C Generals.

Cool stuff! By the way those spacehips are used in RoM as future era ships too.. see Fusion ship classes ;)

Zappara: I know :) My module add to this fusion ships "fly ability". Now they are not sea ships but flying ships :) This is a simple modification but a lot of people like it :)

Flying ships are awesome, so cool. Question tho. Are they treated like gunships that "fly" or on a different plane. Can they engage in combat with ground troops or do they fly over them?

Flying ships are like any other land/sea unit but have ability to fly over lands and sea :) This is a simple modyfication of xml files and animations

So cool imo. I would love to see that in 2.6.

What about extending the bridges out indefinitely connecting continents. Maybe make it cost so much gold for tile?

I think expanding them indefinately would not only be unrealistic but be a rather large balancing issue. You could counter that the cost of moving over oceans would counter that, but I'm not convinced that the initial costs will offset the gains. In any case it would be a nightmare to balance.

I do very much like the bridge building on coastal squares and it makes a lot of sense. It was actually something I thought of recently and found lacking. It's more the rule than exception to have bridges over short spans these days if it increases commerce.

I'm not sure if they should add commerce to the tile they're built on at the expense of a greater cost, but that would seem logical. That's not the same as to say it'd be good for balancing and the easier transportation should provide enough incentive on its own.

Actually anything beyound 1 plot seems exagerated. Even in GEM you can connect France and England with a 1 plot bridge. New nano-materials might allow bridges that are longer then 50 km, though is there any need for a bridge longer then that?

Cool I saw someone try the bridge idea before but then vanished. the one or two square sea bridge will make fixing the Tamriel map as it should be without the land plot over the mouth of the large river in southern Cyrodiil near where Leyawiin would be. So one can take a ship in to Cyrodiil without placing a city there. As well making it an island again.

Any idea when you'll be able to post the module, Jooyo?

This looks wonderful, but a few questions about the mechanics and AI...
1. can the bridge turn, be diagonal, or fork?
2. what would prevent the AI from creating bridges to no where?
3. do the bridges create a proper trade route like roads and rails? or is it just an improvement to carry land units across water?
4. how do the land and water units react with each other?
5. if the bridge was pillaged by a land unit, what would happen to the land unit?

Also, either the spaceships or fusion ships should be of a different model to prevent lookalikes. Other than that, this looks awesome, keep it up!:)

I like the rocket launchers! :) I always wanted a way to move my ICBM's out of harms way from a first strike ;) Or have a mobile Tactical Nuke platform to march with the army :)

:goodjob: This is brilliant! Every single game I think "Why o why can I only build bridges over teeny-tiny rivers, and not over one single square of water?!"

Yay!

looks awsome
will terraforming include forest planting and mountain busting?

jooyo
Mar 18, 2009, 12:25 PM
Terraforming only terraform simple terrain. For now there is no forest planting and mountain busting. Maybe in later versions i'll add this.

This combat system looks amazing, But It would be even more amazing if you could band armies together and sort of simulate combat styles like in total War, where having a verity of units fight in a battle without expecting most of them to just die as you send them in one at a time.
