Community Scenario Project

[Maniacal]

I tohught it would be neat if people from the civ2 community pooled their resources together to create a great and wonderaful scenario. The different parts can be divided up and given to those who are really good at that particular area, like for example: Person X does the unit graphics, Person y does the terrain graphics, Person Me does puts the graphics together, person H designs the map, etc.
Any ideas or comments are apreciated.

List of ideas:
Babylon 5
The Fighting Fantasy world
Mithgar
Wheel of Time
Midgard

Yes I think this is a good idea, the newer forum members can get together and do something with a bigger scope....there used to be a SMAC project going on here but sadly, that has faded.

maybe something based on a TV series so there is common ground?

 

[Maniacal]

the simpsons, nah, maybe a fnatasy/sci fi novel, like, taken out of that world? or wars mentioned in it, or maybe, oh, sweet... I vote an ancient egyption like civ is attacked by desert ork like beings, or not... but yeah, a movie/tv show/novel that is very poplular and that people know about, but maybe not something as popular and well knowen as the simpsons, lotr or harry potter...

Why not a rendition of the classic "War of the Worlds", set in 1895 England. I know the site already has one, but I'm sure we could produce something better.

Being a fan of the book, I'd sign on as a plot consultant and general Idea-man.

 

[Maniacal]

I think i might have heard of that.. whats is it about?

 

[Yuri2356]

Martians invade Victorian England and beat humanity into a bloody pulp.

A fine novel.

 

[Maniacal]

well, it is added to the suggestion list... mmm... human pulp..

i have star trek units,

 

[Maniacal]

Star trek? *shudders* j/k, i was thinking you would have to contribute graphics, or since i have so many (my sig will come true, it's just that I have to beat my friend, I am currently winnig by 3, not sure how he got 43 hits so fast...) back on topic, click my sig if you haven't!, oh right, back on topic, star trek, hasn't that kind of been done? like, alot? I'll still add it to the list. I also suggest that the scenario doesnt use more than 100 units, I can't stand waiting for 10 mins for my turn, or having to move like 50 units.

 

[kobayashi]

star trek and star wars have been done to death.

Why not do Babylon 5. It has the right races, tech progression and unit spread for a good scenario and there hasn't been a scenario about B5 released in a decade (not counting the one that was made in German).

Everything you need can be found at these two sites

Hmmmmm.

The Fighting Fantasy world? (adventure books).

 

[Maniacal]

I havent hear of The Fighting Fantasy world, but Babylon 5 sounds interesting.

 

[Broken_Erika]

i have some babylon 5 units, i guess i'll use my star trek units for a graphical update of a star trek scenario, when i find a good one to update,

 

[kobayashi]

I also argue against a war of the worlds scenario as there is no real battle.

If I remember the storyline correctly, the martians are oblivious to human resistance and only end up dying because of their lack of anti-bodies to fight the common cold.

 

[Maniacal]

I agree with kobayashi, I am trying to remember a few different fantasy series I've read. How about the Companions of Vladimar or however you spell it novels by Mercedes Lackey, lots of good wars and it doesnt have to be exact... or the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, or the Mithgar series by Dnnis L. McKiern(a or e?)n?

 

[kobayashi]

In Kull's site, there is a comment by a visitor that an update of the Masters of Magic (one of the original scenarios that came in the CD) scenario would be great. Maybe that would be another viable project.

 

[Maniacal]

Masters of Magic - hmm, wondering what those FW icons were for, I got5 my FW of this site so I don't have it, but it is added to the list

 

[kobayashi]

Sorry, on checking, I really meant the Midgard scenario and not Masters of Magic.

 

[Maniacal]

Anyother Ideas or should we go to chosing our finalist?

 

[kobayashi]

I think we can go ahead. WHy not let Prince be the project leader - who will ultimately decide which project to pursue and then others can volunteer which part they are willing to do.
