Australia

How does this yellow compare to Spain's or Egypt's?

Bit brighter than Spain's one, and bit darker than Egypt's one.

 

[Leoreth]

Interesting.

Ok, now graphical works except UB and UU had done.

Time to work on UP and Victory conditions.

So what will the UP and UHV be? The ones on the OP?

 

[Novicenoble]

Let me think about that more. I'm just working straight and we can change and balance them after release. I think we need some already-made mod files to discuss and modify easily.

and what is the point of entry into the game Australia in 1900
if the game will soon end in 2000

I'm considering about change the spawn date to 18c and make them conditional spawn like Latin American late civs.

But now as written above, let me finish current progress first.

You could have the civ spawn in 1770 and have their UP be that settlers cannot be produced, but cities founded in Australia or New Zealand flip over to Australia with 50% of the foreign nation's culture. In return, a relation boost happens.

if during the spawn Australia
continent will not be built up

I bet it will be hard to get more than 4 cities in normal speed. If Netherlands have collapsed, there will be no cities in the western part of continent.

It could expire in 1900.

Or, all units have Amphibious Invasion

Ok you know how to make the game interesting. I think let them available to settle a bit - maybe maximum 3 cities - before 1900 will be better.

I'll finish up current prototype's (1900 spawn) UP and UHV ASAP and go to work about changing spawn date.

I actually like that one.

 

[Novicenoble]

You mean amphibious promotion?

 

[Oregon Lee]

I really do think that 1900 start is too late though. Maybe 1859 to mark the last territory organized. It could be conditional, and thus as a human player we can assume the maximum instability from England. As the AI, it could spawn between 1860-1900

If you’re looking to make this a little more “realistic” (and it’s your baby so I’m only offering an opinion) this amphibious promotion idea has nothing to do with Australia in real life.

If 1900 is too late then make the spawn date 1788 - "bugger it" as we would say! At that date the whole map of Australia should become a no-no for the Dutch (I don't think it should be "historical" - or whatever it is - in the first place - they were never interested in settling there anyway).

Also - just give Austrlia one "mountain tile" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Kosciuszko - the rest are just big hills.

And please move Canberra away from the coast - it's about as far from being a port city as I can possible imagine.

Great work though!

 

[Novicenoble]

Okay, it seems like I've done "basic things" for new civilization and I'm testing/debugging it now.


added:
Yeap, I already found one error.

 

[Novicenoble]

Finally uploaded first playable version. (Yep, starts in 1900 AD )


From now I will make 1788 starting Australia mod, and find out proper UU and UB graphic arts.
