Civ 2

[Go Boks]

Are you guys aware of the Middle Earth scenario for Civ 2? It was a great scenario and would be a good source of ideas.

 

[Elda King]

No, I never played Civ2... Do you have a link to the development thread or something like this?

No I don't and I was never aware of one. I'll try and track down the file though...

I think you guys will find it useful as it dealt with the same time frame I believe you are contemplating.

 

[Go Boks]

I think I found it. It is called Dagor Bragollach and you can download it here: http://spanish.apolyton.net/civ2/bestonet/scenfant.html

I will play it tonight and confirm this is the scenario I was talking about.

Thanks. i don't have Civ2, though...

 

[Elda King]

Neither do I, so I can't play it...

 

[thomas.berubeg]

Elda, when are you sending me the files with your update?

 

[Elda King]

Last weekend I added some buildings and corrected the new techs, but couldn't send the files. I'm correcting some pedia entries and other texts, will also change a bit the units and send it to you.

 

[Go Boks]

It may still be worth a download to read through the events file. Hurin did a great drop putting the events of the books into the scenario.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

I'll download it tomorrow and take a look.

If that's the Civ2 mod I'm thinking of, I'd just like to say that it is awesome. I liked that mod more than I liked the actual game (unmodded civ2).
Actually, I kind of assumed that this Civ3 mod was inspired by the Civ2 mod. You really should try to get a copy of Civ2 so that you can see this mod.

--edit--
I suspect that my imagination started taking over from my memory a bit while I was writing this... I got a bit carried away. But it really was a good mod.

I just stumbled across this subforum, and I wonder if anybody has seen my Civ 2 Tolkien modpack. I hope that's what you're refering to as preferable to the unmodded game, Karadoc!
I'd like to think my art &/or ideas could be of some use in this new endeavour.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

what kind of art? anything woulod be greatly appreciated

How about these?

 

[Elda King]

Well, these are good (thought the game is pretty old), but how exactly could we use those (or any art other than concept art), in a civ 4 mod?

 

[thomas.berubeg]

As buttons...

 

[Pariah]

I'd like to think my old unit icons could serve as a starting point for designing the 3-D Civ 4 versions. Buttons would be nice though.
I believe that some appropriate fantasy city graphics are already available.

I'm aware this is a bit of thread bumping, but I thought it necessary.

Have any of you seen this?
Haven't tried it yet, but will as soon as I can.

 

[Death900]

Perhaps we could try to recycle some graphics, if doable.

That'd be great though, would save us a bunch of work. Thanks T_F
