    Want to Write a RIFTS Mod--Looking for Help

    8th Weekly Update, September 25th, 2009 I missed reporting yesterday. I've had a lot on my plate recently and haven't had any time for modding, let alone playing Civ. I will continue posting weekly updates and let you know when I get something more done.

    Need people with Cold War history knowledge

    Here are some recommendations. Israel - Carthage ADEIMO - Mali Afghanistan - Mongolia (Kublai Khan) North Korea - Mongolia (Genghis Khan) China - China (Mao Zedong) Southeast Asian Socialist States - China (Qin Shi Huang) I am fairly certain you can have multiple civs with different...

    [Developement Thread]Cold War Scenario

    Why not give Canada and Australia (and possibly South Africa) to the UK? Not entirely accurate, but technically, the Queen of England is still head of state in all of those countries. North and South Korea should definitely be included, as should North and South Vietnam. I would recommend for...

    Need people with Cold War history knowledge

    In the mind of the McCarthyist scaremongers of the 60s there really wasn't. Remember also there is a big difference between politicians and political scientists. There is also the fact that "socialist" countries usually aligned themselves with the USSR and China during the Cold War while...

    7th Weekly Update, September 17th, 2009 Nothing new to report this week. I have been very busy with my first round of exams so I haven't had time to work on the mod. Maybe next week I will have the document file finished with my draft for the units and their desired traits.

    Need people with Cold War history knowledge

    Do this: nix the Warsaw Pact and conglomerate it with the USSR. There really is no need for both. The USSR had complete dominance over those states politically and militarily. Instead of the Warsaw Pact, add Afghanistan. Then you can split Southeast Asia into North Vietnam (and their ally which...

    Continents, do you like them?

    I voted "like it sometimes" but I prefer "Big and Small" for that type of game.

    Your favorite speed

    I just finished a standard-sized Final Frontier game on Normal speed with dense star system setting on Prince difficulty. It took me 23 hours and a little over 250 turns. I don't how some people are claiming to do Marathon games in 6 hours.

    how often do you change your capital ?

    It depends a lot on whether or not I get Versailles. I always plan on getting into two major wars. One in the pre-classical period and one in the post-industrial period and that usually gives me a fairly large empire to manage. If I am going for Domination and I am not able to keep my capital...

    Need people with Cold War history knowledge

    First of all, with all the animosity you are going to have between the USSR and the USA/NATO, it is going to be very difficult to assure a scenario in which the AI does not declare war and use nukes. A lot of people born after the 70s really have very little idea how many times we came really...

    Tech starving a vassal

    I don't give my vassals techs for military uses, although I do give them techs for building their economy, which I can leech off of. "Tribute time! Refusal means WAR!" To bolster my vassals' army, I gift them advanced units. Usually just defensive units thought.

    Want to Write a RIFTS Mod--Looking for Help

    Most likely I will use the FF core. There are enough concepts I want to snag from that mod that it just makes sense.

    Need people with Cold War history knowledge

    I might be able to lend some help here. I majored in History, specifically Russian history so I took a lot of classes dealing with the USSR and speak Russian. I read through the thread and have some questions for pesgores. Are you wanting to simulate the actual Cold War where the Western nations...

    Want to Write a RIFTS Mod--Looking for Help

    6th Weekly Update, September 10th, 2009 I thought I would show the masses some progress this week. Attached is a file showing some of the units I have been working on. No robots or dragons yet, but I have got the basics for some cyborgs and the magic units, as well as the basic units. I have...
