Chess

yes but on chess u can only move 1 unit per time...

but i do think that all units should get more atk pts, like pawn 2atk 1 def, queen 6atk 4 def...

I always wondered what Chess in Civ3 would be like...

Such an original idea, I like it. Maybe in the next version you could inlist the help of a creator and get some new art. Suggestions: Get some new units that look as best as possible like chess pieces, new terrain that looks like the chess board (the creator of zombie island did a great job in the city-like terrain graphs, so maybe he can help you, sadly I forgot his name) etc. I haven't played yet but I think this is defidently something for multiplayer. Maybe we can set up some multi-matches though I suck at chess, and civ . That's all I can think of.

I just finished a Chess scenario with new units and cool terrain. Should I upload it?

 

[bd41094]

Yes, right now!

 

[Lord Malbeth]

Ok.

I'm so bossy

sry i just dont think its a good game, moving all ur units at once, needing 5 pwns to kill a rook , though 2 fix that just remove all but 1 hit point and 0 defense. points for creativity though

Ha, even though you didn't like it, it's nice to know that people are still checking it out three years later. I might have to reinstall civ3 to try it out again to see if I still like it.

Whoa, I'm glad this got bumped, 'cause I wouldn't have discovered it otherwise.I played one game and thought it was pretty fun. I agree about pawns being powerful for sure.

I kinda like the idea of making a longer game out of it, too. A chess-themed tech tree would be cool, if somewhat surreal.

I just discovered it myself, and like it so much that I tweaked the Chessboard:

Here is a screenshot:



Hope you like it. Maybe someone would like to do some custom chesspieces? eh?

 

[Goldfool]

Looks much cleaner.

A few obsessive hours later. . .

A wooden chessboard (original background):

Now I'm done for awhile.

Imagine comimg across an island like that, I like the space wooden one the best.

Thanks Pounder. Just trying to work up to your level. I thought that maybe some version of this might work as kind of a Civ dojo so that unit makers could test units against each other without having to restart whole games. This little exercise certainly taught me something about terrain modding. . .

 

[Light-Giver]

looks nice the only thing is that the ocean should be something other than black, my screen looks very dark with it

Edit: wops i just found out you could get the origional backround... my bad this post is useless,
but its a great and unique senario im glad it was bumped back

 

[Balthasar]

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but the link to the chessboard in space (post #53) had died, and I just re-uploaded the file >here<

 

[Quintillus]

Fun scenario, and nice board-making. Almost lost by total annihilation the first time thanks to some untimely defeats. Glad you bumped it so that I discovered it.

Also reminds me of the Age of Empires II chess scenario I made several years back, which also necessitated some slight tweaking of the traditional chess rules.

 

[General 666]

No need for excuses. The nice artwork will make me playing this again. Thanks !

I would suggest giving all units radar; there is no 'fog of war' in an actual chess game.
