Another Civ:ToT Scenario : The Lost Colony

[Daftpanzer]

Hi, i dunno if anyone will be interested in yet another mod, but ive done a mod for civ ToT, if anyone would be willing to try it for a few turns or just take a look at it, id appriciate any feedback. The scenario is fully playable, but there is not much civlopedia yet, and there will be some balacning issues with units at the end of the game.

This is my own version of civ that ive been working on, on-off, since civ2 scenario pack came out years ago. Ive now made uses of civ:ToT with all tech and unit slots used and four linked maps.

The idea is supposed to be like an alternate earth world, which evolves quite similar to earths history but in different ways and with similar but different units, not the historic ones like crusaders etc. The planet was colonised by humans from earth long ago, but after the great disaster the all advanced tech was lost and people began to think they originated on this world. You have to rediscover all the advanced tech, and in the end go off into space to find clues about the past.

So, the game goes from warriors to futuristic units in like hovertanks and big robots. Ive changed the tech tree quite a lot, only about 1/3 of the techs are unchanged.

This is basically how I think civ2 should be. Thanks for reading this, Id apprieciate any response. If other people enjoy it, it might be worth 'professionalising'

thanks for any reply

The war goes underwater / underground (another one of the 4 maps)

Ok, guess this thread should be deleted or something?

Can you play this scenario with the original Civ 2 or only ToT? If so can I update Civ 2 to GE/ToT? Thanks!

Looks fun. Ill have to try it out.

 

[Daftpanzer]

thanks for the replies,

since i posted this ive realised there are lots of more professional scenarios for ToT but is till like this cos its mine

Im afraid this is for ToT only as it uses the extra unit slots and the extra maps, and the new rules and stuff

I know its possible to 'patch' ToT to MGE, but i dont know if theres a patch for civ2 to ToT. Have you tried the download section?

There is a utility for converting old Civ2 games to ToT format:

There is now. Check Cedric Greene's site.

Yeah, but it won't help people without ToT. There are a few minor issues with Angelo Scotto's CivConverter, but all in all, it's an excellent little utility.
