Sengoku Jidai

DarthVeda · Jan 16, 2003, 01:34 PM

Hey guys... here's a new scenario fresh from SDC #4.

It's called Sengoku Jidai (deals with Feudal Japan) and it's aimed at PBEM but it is exciting in single play also (I know, I had to play it from every angle).

There are Seven balanced sides, each with their own advantages and unique units and styles of play. The advancement of your units depends not just on your research but on your abilities in battle.

To read more about it, visit the webpage:

Hey guys just thought I'd let you know a Sengoku Jidai PBEM signup is underway....

http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=74269

Also I'll have another patch available sometime tonight to fix a problem, change some sounds, and make some nice additions.

DarthVeda · Jan 17, 2003, 07:05 PM

The NEW 1.2 patch is ready to go, you'll need to download #1 and #2 again if you already have the all files downloaded.

You need not worry about #3 if you are simply updating your copy... it is just the manual. Although it did change, it is not 100% essential to gameplay.

***Changes From Version 1.1***
1. Daimyo is now MUCH harder to bribe (cost is ~15000 koku now vs ~150 before).
2. Adjusted events revolving around the 'Anybody' wildcard value. All players can now get 2nd tier techs.
3. Paradigm Units now only require 2nd tier prerequisite to be researched (vs. 3rd tier before).
4. New sounds for cavalry and musketeers.
5. New Unit: Imperial Guard (These protect the imperial province of Yamashiro).
6. Added a new wonder to the Imperial Province Yamashiro--Imperial City (Copernicus' Observatory).
7. Removed Samurai Archer II from Uesegi research. They still start cities building Samurai Archer II, though.
8. More manual eratta corrected.
9. Some Game.txt eratta corrected

I played it and it's very good. Great job!

DarthVeda · Jan 17, 2003, 08:22 PM

Thanks! I love feedback

kobayashi · Jan 18, 2003, 05:56 AM

I haven't played it yet (waiting for the patch) but I've been to the website and it look great.

Kobi is always interested in all things Nippon.

I noticed the similarity to EA's Shogun-Total War immediately.

There don't seem to be any sound files in the three zips.

zip 1 is texst files
zip2 is graphics
zip3 is a replica of the website.

DarthVeda · Jan 18, 2003, 09:13 AM

Uhh... try that again on files #1 and #2 from my site... I just checked it out and they look ok to me.

And you're right, I took *a lot* of inspiration from Shogun... which is a very awesome game in its own right. I'm really disappointed that you can't play Strategic mode in multiplayer though. I don't think you can in Medieval Total War either.

Here's a little known fact: I posed for myself in a mirror several times with a broom to get the look of the no-dachi samurai just right...

Archer 007 · Jan 18, 2003, 10:41 AM

Kobi's right, some of the sound files are empty.

DarthVeda · Jan 18, 2003, 01:32 PM

OK Everything should work now. Try downloading again. It seems Tripod f###ed the files when I uploaded them.

kobayashi · Jan 19, 2003, 09:39 PM

Playing as the Christian-affiliated powers, I've consolidated control in Kyushu and eaten up the lower part of Honshu already. I like the way the game is set up, not overly complicated and the fractional road multiplier is a nice touch. Almost ran out of Koku at one juncture but the situation is under control.

I didn't really like the idea of being able to hop over to the mainland without needing to build ships.

I noticed you did not use the ShogunTW improvement icons. Any plans to incorporate them in the future?

Another suggestion is to find appropriate terms for the advances rather than adding suffixes to the unit names.

BKA · Jan 20, 2003, 04:07 AM

Looks great

Learned a lot about Japanese history.

BKA

DarthVeda · Jan 20, 2003, 08:54 AM

Thanks guys.

Koby:

Actually I did use icons from Shogun for a number of improvements (for example the palace and the tea house), not to mention the castles...

I like the idea of making the Shimazu build ships if they want on the mainland. I'll think about that in a future patch.

As for the names... we'll see how creative I'm feeling

DarthVeda · Jan 21, 2003, 12:44 PM

Hey I just want you all to know I do have another patch planned, But I probably won't release it for some time (at least several turns into the PBEM I'm involved in

So if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears.

Plexus · Feb 01, 2003, 12:55 AM

Very nice, DarthVeda. Similar to my Japan: 1583 scenario (PTW), except my scenario takes place 40-50 after yours. Goodjob

!

DarthVeda · Feb 02, 2003, 10:30 AM

I'm not a really big fan of hi-res but that scenario looks very similar.

DarthVeda · Feb 04, 2003, 10:18 PM

For all interested parties, a v2.0 PBEM signup is currently underway:
