    Artificial Intelligence in Test of Time

    The Prof.'s lua template has a very easy to use tool that allows you to create polygons within your scenario. When in cheat mode in ToTPP it can be accessed through the crtl-shift-F4 keys and selecting the "Start Polygon Script" box. The advantage of this, from a designer's perspective, is...

    Best Scenarios of All Time

    For those who may be interested, I also did a ToT conversion for this scenario. It can be found here.

    [TOT] ToT on Windows 11

    This is about the ability to play the game videos, correct? This is purely a personal preference but as I exclusively play or design scenarios the ability to play the Civ videos has never been a concern for me. I don't think I've even seen one in the past 15 years. It's the gameplay itself...

    [TOT] ToT on Windows 11

    Hi all, For those who maybe interested, I recently decided to purchase a new computer with Windows 11 installed on it, as my previous ones were over 11 years old and showing definite signs of slowing down. Obviously, one of the first things I wanted to verify is whether Civilization II MGE and...

    WW2 Unit Graphics

    I'm so happy that you decided to regroup all your WW2 units into one big collection a few years back. It's really an outstanding body of work which just keeps getting better! :):goodjob:

    CivTweak and CivCity

    Yes, I've had the opportunity to use the Civitas tool on mulitple occasions and found it both convenient and well made. But it hasn't been around for as long as the other two, so prior to its introduction you had to resort to other methods, and as Blake00 indicated it doesn't cover all the same...

    CivTweak and CivCity

    It’s a shame these two excellent tools were never updated to work on 64 bit machines. It certainly would have made some of the work on my projects easier.:)

    [TOT] The Test Of Time Patch Project

    I can only speak from my own experience but I designed my 'Battle of Italy' scenario around the 189 unit grid and found the AI sufficiently aggressive to make the game challenging for the human player. In my case, I was using two particular techniques that undoudtedly helped: through the use...

    The Hinge of Fate - Playtest/Release Thread

    It’s a big scenario for sure but it is so well made, fun and challenging that I highly recommend it.

    The Hinge of Fate - Playtest/Release Thread

    Hi ruivasconselos, As I recall the He-117 is one of the scenario units that use munitions. To do so, once next to your target, and while the plane is the active unit, press on the ‘k’ key and that should generate a bomb unit in the plane’s hex, which you can then use to attack your target hex...

    [Civ2] Beginner Guide?

    Scenario Installation for MGE

    Hi Kaiser0985, That's probably because the bat file from the "Wars of the Mediterranean v2.31" scenario was designed, at that time, to run on 32 bit machines and therefore is incompatible to run on 64 bit machines. I've updated the attached bat file from the scenario folder to make it...

    WW2 Unit Graphics

    I actually own and have played Hex of Steel. It's a rather fun and interesting game based on historical WW2 battles and campaigns. My only caveat is that many of the scenarios (and there are many of them to choose from which is a definite positive) are not very well balanced, with the AI often...

    [TOT] The Test Of Time Patch Project

    Just a final note on the subject for those who may be interested. One of the great advantages of using the Prof's template, particularly for beginner designers, is that you can continue to write as much of your events in the macro language as you prefer and if you so desire follow the simple...

    [TOT] The Test Of Time Patch Project

    Hi Perfectway, The TOTPP project itself does not give you the ability to do this, at least not in its current form, but it does support the use of the lua programming language which can allow scenario designers familiar with coding the ability to implement a vast array of features not otherwise...
