....and Val'Kor wasn't kidding, either!!
Last night I completely lost my head and started playing ahead again. I mean, WAY ahead. Like well into the AD years. The screenshots you've seen so far?? HA! Those are nothing compared to what the AI's started throwing at me. Picture those same shots with five times as many units on them, all coming straight at YOU. Now picture that happening every single turn for the entire game. That's basically what happened. I was tearing my hair out trying to keep Andor Gen'Shar from getting completely overrun!
I was able to do it (so far) with only two tiles pillaged and one Shok division (Guerillas) lost, but MAN, was it tough!! Only Civ3 game I've seen that was crazier was Bamspeedy's SuperSid difficulty game where he gave all the AI's a 90% production discount.....
Fortunately I kept my head enough to make a backup copy of every autosave file for the entire game, so I've got a full record--but it's basically all just "more of the same" shots that don't make for good storytelling. Don't worry, I've got other plans for the story once I get organized here.
Feel free to post the results of your games, as well as modifications to the mod. Right now it's way too hard, but the balance is pretty delicate with this one.
Enjoy--but don't say I didn't warn you.....
KAL'NA'SHOK!!!
