Ash - 4/8/2007

[DJ Bonebraker]

"Good.... Bad.... I'M the guy with the gun!"

"Look, Pal! The only things you're leading right now are Jack and S***... And Jack just left town."

"Hail to the King, Baby!"

Best freakin' unit EVER.

BTW, if those three Ash quotes from "Army of Darkness" look familliar to those who are not familliar with the movie, it's because Firaxis included refernces to them as easter eggs in Civ III (Good... Bad... You're the one with the Nukes, Hail to the <insert leader title here> baby! are said by the military and domestic advisors, and The only things your leading now are Jack and Spit, and Jack just left town is what some of the AI civs say when taunting you after a conquest or domination defeat.)

Best freakin' unit EVER.

Thanks, Hikaro, but I think you're overselling this unit.

Thanks, Hikaro, but I think you're overselling this unit.

Dude, you'Re talking to the guy who owns the DIRECTOR'S CUT DVD of "Army of Darkness" It's one of my favorite movies of all time, and I'm really estatic about seeing Ash in his Civ III incarnation (especially your wonderful job).

Good Work there NavyDawg...complete with the Arsenal of Weapons

The unit sounds made me laugh out loud... VERY cool unit!

@ Hikaro, I'm a big fan too, but don't have the director's cut. Does it have new footage? I like this movie because it has very high replay value. No matter how many times I see it, it never gets old.

@ Ares, glad you liked the sounds. The hardest part was picking which lines to not include. "Gimme some sugar baby" came close, but I'll save that for Bad Ash (if I make it...).

"I'm bad Ash, and you're good Ash. You're a goody-little-too shoes!"

I watched the movie twice last night I was so inspired. Luckily I DLed the unit the other day before my internet was cut. I love the sound clips you put in. N-Dawg, could you tell me where you got them from? A soundbite site or just captured on your computer? I have been wondering how to capture my on sound bites from DVDs.

I think with the great discoveries that have been made with teleportation recently, it could nicely be done to simulate the Deadite rush. I had to redo the map, but have worked out a techtree based on the movie timeline and used special terrains to promote AI behaviour to follow the script. I would like to see how the game could be a scenario but still randomize where the Necronomicon can appear to boost the replay value. Once my home computer is back on line I will start a thread and we can discuss this. All are welcome. I must say EFZI is what inspired me, but for me this Ash unit has meant pushing back other projects and get an AoF mod completed.

Hikaro, does your DVD have him actually say, "Good, bad, I'm the one........",? because in mine after he shots Bad Ash, he just says in his cool way, "I ain't that good." I always thought this was a mistake people made. At any rate, this best B-movie of all time cracks me up when I remember playing Duke Nuke'm and vice versa.

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

One version has the "Good... Bad.... I'm the guy with the gun" and the directors has teh "I aint that good" or vice versa.... I remember distinctly it was different.

N. Dawg: Yeah, the Director's cut has a rather different ending and a few slightly different takes on some of the scenes.
