@Aeon

I think I fixed the broken link. Sorry about that. Stupid newbie trying to post something big....

 

[Olorin0222]

Aeon,

I will also get the pediaicons.txt done for these LH's, if you give me some time to do it.

 

[pinktilapia]

Mines are for Hills and Mountains
Nothing else can have these improvements.

Hum, didn't you say mountain would be impassable? It adds so much to the strategic dimension of the map. I like to see passes and so on. Remember, the Alpes/Rockies/etc. were only passable in a few places (and only in the summer!).

I will upload my resource map, but I doubt you guys will be able to see most/any of them since I have used so many custom ones. Dont expect to see much geographical accurracy in their placement, (for instance, there is tobacco in New York) as they are primarily intended to shape territory development, not teach you where tobacco has historically been grown. .

But why not placing the resources historically as well, and like in EU, having rather furs in New York, and Tabacco/Cotton/Sugar in Carolina and Virginia, etc.?

Somebody made a really cool worker that fortified to a wooden palisade. I am going to borrow that animation (after asking permission of course) and use it for all the formations. This makes more sense than having them stand in a circle, and allows me to pretend that they are setting up camp ;p
.

Great idea! I wish I could do that with my legions as well !

 

[Aeon221]

Mountains are impassable to all but workers. I am actually thinking about removing even that, but it would require some major changes in road placement.

Everything that is impassable is impassable to everything but workers except for tundra, which is truly impassable

Haha, that sentence just sounds funny ;p

PS: That file is bloody HUGE! Dont worry about having difficulty with the link, I still do too (CLEARLY ;p)

Emailing you the primary file as of now!

ABT the resources: they ARE mostly accurate. You wont see sugar in the Carolinas etc. I just didnt agonize too much about where to put them (like I did with the cities). They are placed more to encourage a specific type of development than they are to simulate the real world... just like how there is no iron or timber.

It works out alright if you kinda tilt your brain sideways and think about it as the lesser of two evils ;p

 

[Aeon221]

Yay! Permission was granted! Now I just have to figure out how to post a preview... grr...

 

[Aeon221]

Ok, so we currently need: 1 Pope head, 1 Ayuthaya head, and 27 more lists of cool things that happened.

Currently, we have: England, Denmark

We do not need: CentAmTri, SouthAmTri

So that means we need 27. I will look into my EU2 files and see what I will see.

Gonna need to whip out the notebook for this one ;p

Also, as a side note:

Spoiler How to Create a MultiFigure MUnit :

1) Create the C3F files for both units, making sure to use the hardcode the last 32 colors as shadows option. Also make sure to set the frame to a specific size that is larger than the frames of the other unit(s) and this one.

2) Open both of the newly created files with Paint Shop Pro, and import the same palette for both of them, using match nearest colors rather than maintain indexes. Then save them both.

Example: Since I was using default units, I loaded the musketman palette to both the pikeman and the musketman.

Note: If I were using custom units, I would have to formulate my own palette.

4) Use SBB to combine them into whatever shape you choose, and be sure to look at it with shadows, frame, and grid turned on. Then generate it.

5) Open up C3FLC and import the file. Make sure to use the same frame size that you chose in the beginning (Example: I used 200x200). THEN, where it asks for source palette, choose the palette you loaded for both of the units with PSP in step 2. Center it, and export it into a C3F.

6) Export it again, this time to FLC, and check it out.

I emailed that to Drivebymaster (who helped me hash out parts of it), so I figured I would share it with you guys too.

Its six steps (it assumes you know how to do the rest yourself ;p), but there are a lot of words...

I am working on the Euro multis as of now, but if anyone else wants to do some of the others that would be AMAZING (Olorin, you should probably sleep ;p). I cannot decide whether it would be worth the work to use some flavors for certain of the civs.

That can get done in a later release... if/when we get that far ;p

Ayutthaya/Siam Leaderhead:

A historical one, by R8XFT (I thought you knew about it!!) HERE
And a khmer one, which could also do for Siam by Rita Poon HERE

 

[Aeon221]

err... of course I knew about it... we know know everything!

Thanks!

 

[Olorin0222]

Which SE Asian LH do you think you will pick? If you tell me, I'll make some era-specific pcx's....

 

[Aeon221]

Rita's file. Use the Ancient one (the guy holding a snakey thing) because that's definitely the coolest!

 

[Olorin0222]

I was hoping you would pick that one......

 

[Olorin0222]

Here are the edited pcx's for Rita Poon's LH:

I didn't include the flic files and other, non-editable files. You can either download those yourself, or they are included in Sword of Geddon's Far Horizons, if you have downloaded that mod.

 

[Aeon221]

Haha, yeah I think I can manage that myself.

Not sure if I have checked that mod out, but maybe some other time... dont want to get more distracted ;p

 

[Olorin0222]

Distractions...evil...

I am going to have Thunderfall delete the link now, as long as you are done.

 

[Aeon221]

It took a while but yeah I got it. He can definitely nix it.

 

[Aeon221]

GoOd NEWS!

I have definitively figured out how to make the munits we need!

I am gonna post the first new one out in the MUC Forum (just because I am excited that I made something!) ;p

anyway



research would be nice, but if nobody has time I understand because I am frankly getting murdered by tests and papers.

 

[Olorin0222]

I've had a ton of school work too, and been sick also the past few days...

I will try and maybe get some research done....but I can't gaurantee anything

 

[Aeon221]

Work you dog!

Just kidding!

Dont worry, and get well soon!
