Bts "DUNE WARS" {Development Thread}

[Phoenician]

thanks. It is a lot clearer now. So combat categories are the same color as promotions right as well? Just like they match in vanilla Civ4. I could jazz them up with different colors if it is liked.

All the icons I did, do not change them. But other than that, you can do whatever you want.

 

[Phoenician]

humm....
what can you do......p',
dunno, do you wanna add the pedia entries?

OK, tell me what and how.
Did you make all the civs and leaderheads yet? Or do you want me to try and do that?

 

[keldath]

well, you can see at the version i sent ya, or johny sent you - it has all what ive done with the civs and leaders -

im missing their flags,
their pedia entries,
also i havnt implemented all of the city names you wrote - just the ones you posted for the first time,

also by mistake i used a liyets picture instead of duke leto...

 

[Phoenician]

The version you sent me doesn't have all the civs or leaders, just some of them.
Send me your latest version or the version with all the leaders and civ.

I'm thinking maybe we should add one more leader for the Harkonnens---Feyd-Rautha
I like to play hugs maps, so another Harkonnen leader would be good fun to stomp on.

 

[keldath]

alright,
give me an hour,
i just want to get the corporation you wrote and another thing,
and ill send you.

 

[Phoenician]

Before you send me the dune wars, add Feyd Rautha as a leader.
I'll post a profile of him in a moment with a stretched picture.

 

[Phoenician]

Keldath, add Feyd!!!


Feyd-Rautha (Aggressive, Organized) - Harkonnen
Harkonnen Heir, the na-Baron

Favorite Civic: Slavery

Civopedia:

Spoiler :

As Dune begins, Feyd-Rautha figures heavily in the Baron's plans to gain power for House Harkonnen. The Baron favors the handsome and charismatic Feyd over Feyd's older brother Glossu Rabban ("The Beast") because of Feyd's extreme intelligence and his dedication to the Harkonnen culture of carefully-planned and subtly executed sadism and cruelty, as opposed to Rabban's outright brutality.
The Baron could see the path ahead of him. One day, a Harkonnen would be Emperor. Not himself, and no spawn of his loins. But a Harkonnen. Not this Rabban he'd summoned, of course. But Rabban's younger brother, young Feyd-Rautha. There was a sharpness to the boy that the Baron enjoyed ... a ferocity ... A year or two more — say, by the time he's seventeen, I'll know for certain whether he's the tool that House Harkonnen requires to gain the throne.
Feyd is, for a while, the Baron's heir, or na-Baron. To assure Feyd's power, the Baron intends to install him as ruler of Arrakis after a period of tyrannical misrule by Rabban, making Feyd appear to be the savior of the people.
Feyd, like Paul Atreides, is also the product of a centuries-long breeding program organized by the Bene Gesserit, who planned their own alliance by joining a Harkonnen son to an Atreides daughter with the expectation that their offspring would have a high probability of being their hoped-for Kwisatz Haderach. For this reason, Lady Jessica's decision to defy the Sisterhood and to produce an Atreides son, Paul, threw the Bene Gesserit's plans into turmoil and established an irreconcilable tension between Feyd and Paul as the scions of their bitterly opposed noble houses. The risk of one or both of these young men being killed, destroying thousands of years of genetic engineering, is so great that the Bene Gesserit send an envoy, Margot Fenring, to seduce Feyd and conceive a child, salvaging his genetic material.
Margot also intends to "plant deep in his deepest self the necessary prana-bindu phrases to bend him," which she later refers to as the "Hypno-ligation of that Feyd-Rautha's psyche." Presumably he is thus "prepared" and made vulnerable to a command which will cause complete muscle paralysis, a technique the Bene Gesserit sometimes use on individuals who are considered highly dangerous.[4] It is also later noted by the Reverend Mother Mohiam that Feyd's encounter with Lady Fenring produced a daughter.
Feyd's ambition and impatience to inherit the Baron's title and power spur him to attempt his uncle's assassination; as punishment for the failed attempt, the Baron forces Feyd to single-handedly slaughter all the female slaves who serve as his lovers. He explains that Feyd has to learn the price of failure.
As Paul makes his final bid to usurp the Padishah Emperor's power, he is challenged by Feyd. Though famed for his prowess in single combat, Feyd intends to guarantee victory by breaking the formal rules of kanly (which govern this type of challenge) and using a hidden poison spur in his fighting outfit. He nearly succeeds in killing Paul in the ritualized fight, as Paul struggles with whether to try the paralysis word-sound and owe the Bene Gesserit his victory, or to risk his life against Feyd in a "fair" fight. Paul manages to defeat Feyd without the command, and goes on to ascend the throne of the Emperor.

Well guys tell what you think so far. I think that is all of the promotions. Since I already made them I left the ones not needed in. I figure this might be used for other things as well. It does not matter either way really.

I was thinking same drawing of course for units cats. , but different color background maybe for each category.

 

[Phoenician]

Excellent Job, Johnny!
I like this vanilla look over the BTS look of promotions.
Don't forget about the unit classes.

 

[Phoenician]

Keldath, add Feyd and then send it to me again.
If I can figure it out-I will try to do all the city names for you too.

 

[Phoenician]

One more thing Johnny. Change the look of the stillsuit promotion to how it was before-with the yellow inside the suit just like I had it. I don't like how it looks, but other than that everything looks fantastic.

 

[johny smith]

ok no problem on the suit.

So I am just keep the same look for the unit categories then. Would look like too many colors anyway if changing the background.

Yeah, I like this black on yellow look a lot more than the BTS blue on yellow.
Keep it the same.

 

[johny smith]

I changed the suit. Problem I have is now when converting to a dds it gets a little blurred. This jpg is from PSD file. The dds you can see the difference. If you want to try something else let me know.

It looks fine, a lot better than the white on yellow.

 

[johny smith]

ok good then.

 

[Phoenician]

Alright, I'm gonna keep myself busy.
Working on adding missing leaders, missing civs,
Applying the correct stretched pics for leaderheads,
doing all the cities, adding civ flags, and doing all the
civopedia for them.

 

[johny smith]

Ok I put in the unit classes. If anything looks like it needs tweaked let me know please.
