Work in Progress - Super Civ Scenario

Welcome to the Super Civ Work in Progress Thread.

I've decided to proceed with my old "super" scenario idea. It's gone through a bit of a redesign so here's the lowdown.

F A C T I O N S

League of Heroes - the City's only active super hero team. Led by Techno Angel.

United Underworld - led by Nemesis your stereotypical uber bad guy with a grudge against the League of Heroes. Attempting once again to take over the world.

C.H.A.O.S - International crime and terrorism organization dedicated to undermining and overthrowing world governments.

Celestial Order Of Evil - A secret order originating in Asia. The Celestial Order Of Evil is dedicated to recovering ancient artifacts and treasures of Lost Civilizations.

E.G.O - the Evil Government Organization formed to locate, catalog and monitor members of the super hero community.

City Authorities - the municipal government for the City. Unfortunately, the voters do not realize that the Mayor is a member of a carnivorous alien species preparing the way for an invasion of the city.

T E C H S

Infrastructure - base building techs available to all factions



Powers - super power techs for the League of Heroes



Crimes - techs available to CHAOS, EGO, City Authorities, Underworld and Celestial Order of Evil



Master Plan - "Space Race Victory" techs available to CHAOS, Celestial Order of Evil and the United Underworld.


U N I T S

Buildable Units (from the Crime Tech Tree)


M A P
Balthasar made a fantastic new map based on Gotham city

FIRST POAST!!
Interesting. Can't find the original thread though.
The city pic looks a bit like TTD.

I fixed the link to the old thread. The city terrain is mostly Yoda Powers.

Huzzah!

"The Whatsit". Brilliant.

Looks very cool... and very different from most mods (we need some Superhero mods)! I will go back and read the old thread to get the full lowdown .

That's better... now, um... there's absolutely no similarities between these characters you're making up (i.e. Fu Manzhu and C.H.A.O.S) and ones that have already been invented, amirite?
I'm with Nemesis all the way.

amirite? - I had to google that. I am thinking of turning Amirite along with Originalium into resources.

Here's a quote from one of my fave sites: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage

There is nothing new under the sun. Including that very statement. And the book from which it comes. Completely ignoring the possibility that one's favorite show just might not be hewn from the very essence of the universe by Thor himself and placed in the periodic table under Or for "Originalium" doesn't change the fact that it wasn't. And acknowledging that it isn't should not lessen its appeal, either.

Nice to see this is back in the works!

That's because you're over the age of 17.

But that's quite fun. Reminds me of Mega-lo-Mania, which had lots of minerals with silly names - Palladium is the first one to come to mind.

Palladium? But it does actually exist. Was this something related to paladins?

Yes I'm quite a bit past 17 now. Megalomania on the other hand is a pop-reference that I do get because I played it on my old Amiga computer

Here's the pedia reference for Originalium

Chemical Symbol "Or"

Originalium is an extremely rare element. So rare in fact that you will not find any trace of Originalium in this scenario.

The rarity of Originalium is what makes it useful to this scenario. It enables us to switch off parts of Civ that we don't want e.g Railroads. Originalium also allows us to have units that cannot be built but can be upgraded! Both of these feats are achieved by using Originalium as a prerequisite resource.

I was looking forward to the previous incarnation, but this looks even better!

Sidenote, where did you find the Ninja? Cos he seems to have a gun on his back...

LMR - The ninja is by Utahjazz. I'm pretty certain it's a sword rather than a gun.

True, it does exist, but the Mega-lo-Mania icon for it was a top hat and white gloves, if memory serves. There was another one called Parasite that had an unpleasant-looking creature for its icon. You get the general idea.

KA- Thanks mate. Are you still using those icons i made ages ago?

LMR - I'm definitely using the tech icons and the building graphics you made.



Started editing the biq last night and completed the main parts of the Civilizations tab: leader names, military leaders, traits, aggression levels etc. Next step is to link in the leaderhead graphics and flcs and complete the Race sections of the Civilopedia. I'll post some screenies over the weekend.

He-Yak, The Jester, The Whatsit, Duke America... Gee, I wonder if any of these are references to anything else.

Looks interesting so far.

ALso, as for exotic resources, if you're going to have Amarite and Originallium, you might as well also include Unobtainium (which, of course will be rare and a pre-req for the Doomsday Device "spaceship" part and certain other high-end units)

It should definitely be an in-game theme.
Maybe this one's better, actually:

ok. Never got round to doing the leaderheads because I got stuck repairing a computer for a friend. Still I managed to get the buildings nailed down so here are some pics (graphics are courtesy of our friendly, neighbourhood LMR).

@HT - I don't know what you are talking about
you might have spotted some of your own units in the lineups too. I'm very grateful to have Altima especially

@Takhisis - I have some royalty free music already picked out - I'll post a few links later.
