1989: Scenario Development Thread

Tony, what about free-fall nuclear bombs or artillery shells? Will there be any SDI defense project?
I am also wondering how AI is going to decide which of my cities to nuke. On one ocasion (WW79 converted CIV2 scenario) USA nuked my China for nuking Seoul very painfully, the biggest cities were hit, but in TCW1.6 Modern Start on the map with comparable size and ICBM's available USA fired five or six nukes in the freshly captured Seoul, even though there no one remained after the second strike. Other cities were also hit, some of them important, but some seemingly at random.

Also I remember that you once mentioned that no Soviet heavy artillery (IIRC you meant Pion guns or higher) are going to be included because there is no unit that could represent them, maybe you could use Wyrmshadow's Scud gun as an exception?

I thought about making tactical aircraft upgradeable to nuclear strike aircraft as part of the whole 'nuclear upgrade' thing, but it just seemed more trouble than it was worth. It would basically have been a regular air unit with a nuclear bomb animation that could eliminate any one enemy unit with lethal bombard. It is hard to predict how the computer will use nukes. I think that your example that some attacks will be successful and others will be ridiculous is correct. They will be unpredictable. But again, it's up to the player if he wants to wage nuclear war. I don't want to try to second guess the AI too much.

SDI was a scientific impossibility in the 1980s. Even Reagan, its staunchest supporter, knew that the technology was decades and billions of $ away from reality. So no SDI in the game.

The Pions will be included in the game. They appear as a артиллерийская бригада большой мощности High Powered Howizter Artillery Brigade. I am using the green M110 as a graphic. I found a 2S7 model but it was one solid shape and could not be animated. The 2S4 mortar battalions are included in the High Powered Brigades...these brigades are the most powerful artillery units in the game!

Send me the 2S7 I can separate the parts up for you.

Man, you guys are distracting me from my civilopedia work now.



Thanks, Delta. The parts breakdown is good.

Woof! Can we help with Civilopedia?

.....

Tony, could you pls explain what these mean:
People's Sixth Republic
Rakah Government
PCI Government
?

There are some pictures from the Soviet-Arab monument in Aswan, Egypt, perhaps they could do for Soviet Arab Agreement?

Those pictures are great.

The three items you mentioned are new Soviet-friendly socialist governments established in France, Israel, and Italy respectively. I have already made the buildings for these; they are just missing wonder splashes.

Tony, I've got an idea for whatever Wonder for the country that got liberated from Communism.

The third picture in the left row called "Lenin lithuania". Perhaps someone here could cut out Lenin and combine it with a flag of newly liberated state?

Disregard.

Take it the problem has been solved hopefully?

No, not yet. The old problem happened again where games wouldn't save or load. After lots of trial and error I narrowed it down to a corrupt biq. But my last backup biq is also corrupt, so I have to go back to November. It's going to be a lot of rebuilding and I'll be busy with all the Season stuff these next couple weeks, so it's going to take a while to fix.

Dang!!! That is truly a motivation crushing event. I hope you can find the time and energy to get it fixed up again.

There may have been profanity and/or ballistic beer bottles that night. No worries, anger is my best motivation.

DISREGARD.


I am taking Eastern Germany!

*standing ovations* just had a look at the release thread, fabulous job!
