Football Mod?

Sneus · Feb 8, 2003

Football.
The greatest sport in the world, to some people at least.
What if we made that sport into a mod? What if the sport became an ancient history game . . . I'll tell you what if . . . that would be crazy.

Somebody, anybody out there should find a way to make this mod. If you could, the things you would need would be simple.

1) Each football team would have their quarterback as a leaderhead. (example, Rams and Kurt Warner)

2) Each team could only create their players. (example, Tampa Bay Bucs could create, Warren Sapp, Derek Brooks etc.)

3) There would need to be a modified terrain. Green turf.

4) The cities would be named for the team (Oakland Raiders would have Oakland) their coliseum, their players and coaches.

Thats it. Whoever could do this would be awesome.

at first i thought you meant real football (soccer)
but i think you should go ahead with it as it would be quite funny if you give me a labeled diagram of a US football pitch i do you a map

if its for ptw you could use a ball unit as a capture the flag unit

Sneus · Feb 9, 2003

Thanks a lot Sa~Craig, I'll try to do that.

The pitch? Uh, no, it's just a field.

yeah but they have lines on them and stuff

Sneus · Feb 10, 2003

Yeah, the lines are for yards . . . you ever seen a football game Sa~Craig?

Anyway, the field might be easy to find might be hard, I've never seen the field just regular aerial view, so maybe someone could help

6 billion people call that what you know as soccer, as football. I find it rather amusing that little american nation tries to steal that name for their soft-rubgy.

Sir John · Feb 11, 2003

I have actually tought of this mod for quite a while ago...
I was thinking of making it after my Halo mod is done. But I was ofcourse gonna use soccer and not AMERICAN football (not football)...

The managers should be the leaderheads and there shoudnt be any names on the players.. only defender, midfielder, keeper, attacker and so on..

The citys would be stadions ofcourse and and the terrain will be changed...

I dont have the time to work on this now, but if somone starts a Soccer mode (not american football mod) I wanna help.. =D =D

They are so self-centered

Kenric af Grashen · Feb 11, 2003

i prefer Football (soccer). but i still think this could be quite a good mod and you could use it as a model to create other mods including football, proper rugby, basketball and other ball sports.

and to Sneus yes i have seen an american football game but i found it hard to understand the rules apart from throw ball, catch ball

Sir John · Feb 11, 2003

I actually like watching amrican football, altough the only fun thing is when they smash in to each other.

BTW: I must say I agree with Sa~Craig. There should be mods for all the ballgames. Somone should start soon. I wish I had the time... =(

A Soccer or Football game in civ3 wouldnd't be fun with the current posibilities. (or maybe not...)

It would need scripting, events, etc...

If it would be done now it would be like this:

- the Ball would need to be a capturable unit (with the "flag" - flag in the editor, like the princess)
- the Goals would be Cities, and you would have to set the defenses on the goals pretty high I guess...
- You would win if you got the ball to YOUR goal....
- And the only units you could build would be like a forward, defender etc... each with their own stats. Maybe 4 or 5 different units depending on what game you want to simulate.
- The only city you got will only support one citizen or something, and can build like a unit every 2nd turn or so (would need testing), based on what they would cost.
- And you would have a set amount of gold, and maybe support for 11 Units at one time (if Soccer.)

-Etc...

Anyways... I could do the Soccer Scenario if anyone wants me to... should I?, I don't think it will be so hard to do the things I listed above.

So do you want me to do it?

Grey Fox · Feb 11, 2003

Ok, I've started a Soccer Scenario here:

And I've run into some problems, go there if you can help.

LesCanadiens · Feb 11, 2003

I really don't think that there's any point to these scenarios. Just get a sports game.

Sir John · Feb 12, 2003

well, maby somone likes sportgames and civilization and dont have time to play both... =D =D

Kenric af Grashen · Feb 12, 2003

I thought at first that this was about REAL football (soccer), which in fact is the greatest sport in the world...for every country except for USA, Canada and Australia.

Fortunately I found this: :crazyeye:

Hehehhehe, our "soft rugby", gets enough attention as it is from people saying it is too dangerous, I could just imagine what they would say if we had lots of rugby to be played in our high schools, and football (soccer), is sort of popular here, but I guess us americans always were a little ''Different".

Redking · Feb 13, 2003

coming from the Euros.

call it gridiron, "american" football, whatever.

People tend to call the sports THEY play whatever the h#ll they want.

For instance, most of the people in the world who play what I call "soccer", call it instead futbol (NOT football, as you guys so generously insist).

BTW, being dual-national, I'm a fan of both rugby and American football (which, as an aside, is played with 3 major professional and 1 major amateur codes), and neither are gentle games played by gentle men. I played soccer as a child, and can attest that it is a fine sport also.

Grow up.

Kenric af Grashen · Feb 13, 2003
