D&D mod: tjedge1-Mystara

[Eddiit]

Looks good. Like I said we do have to be careful with the computer building a bajillion cities though. We need to be really careful. Slows the game down to a babies crawl.

That continent alone will hold god knows how many cities.

 

[Eddiit]

Do we have any graphics modpacks were considering?

 

[tjedge1]

The terrain is a mixture of others like Rhye's is the base then there is some from Womak, Sn00py, and maybe some other various adjustments by other modders. The final details and adjustments are made by Arghis himself. He will get the credit for blending everything and making it more "Mystara" like. Much of the terrain will not allow cities to keep the world from getting completly covered in cities, which you would hit the limit before ever filling the continents up. The city limit in the game is just over 500 total, so I will have terrains like desert, marsh, mountains, volcanoes will not allow cities. I'm considering tundra, but that may not matter, since you can build in a forest and a pine forest in the tundra lets you build a city there. Makes not allowing in tundra kind of pointless. But the others will remain that way and that should keep many civs from hitting the city limit. Hopefully. That will get worked out in the beta testing most likely.

That said, I think the continent looks great so far. Very nice work my friend. This may be my favorite map to play on.

By the end of this week, I'm going to open another request thread, with pictures and/or descriptions of units, wonders, improvements that are missing form the mod so far. Anyone interested in helping with that keep your eyes open. I will start it on Friday and begin filling it with pictures and a list of current volounteers.

I also noticed that this mod has more positive votes everytime I check on it. Thanks guys, that keeps me motivated.

How's this? Are bronze and copper too close to each other and if they are, which one should be intensified? Something else wrong?

Edit: maybe the copper one could use a bit more red.

 

[Drift]

Something like this maybe? Or will it get mixed with the red dragon?

 

[tjedge1]

That might be alright. Try putting the red dragon in there with the copper to see what they look like close together. Otherwise I would say they're perfect. I think the red dragon is a darker red. Hard to tell though without actually putting them side by side.

 

[Eddiit]

Can you modify the picture slightly to differentiate further between the two. Also, copper dragons are smaller in size than red dragons. Great pics....by the way Tjedge...I'd love to help so I can get my name on the creadits!

 

[tjedge1]

You already have your name in them, but don't let that mean you're done. Keep those ideas coming.

Don't worry about size differences. Their differences will be noticed by hp bonuses. And attack/defense/movement/bombardment ability. I like them all big myself.

EDIT: This copper and bronze thing was more a problem than anticipated.

 

[tjedge1]

For those who might be new to this thread and have not read the entire thread, I have posted the preview shot of the city graphix at the bottom of the Overview: post #1. These were set up a while back, but I figured they should be shown in the Overview as they haven't changed since the original screenshot was posted.

What did you think about the Pandas? I'm telling you theyre too cool.

TJ,

[Drift]

My copper and Kinboat's red ended up being almost identical.

Kinboat's red is so coppery that IMO it's the one that has to be altered. Therefore, would you be interested in a new red dragon as well?

 

[tjedge1]

Sure. I like the more red version better. Thanks Drift.

It will do the job for now, actually it looks really good to me.

I love them! I loved them so much I went to the Wizards forums and talked to the guys inthe Mystara forum there and asked about Panda sub-races. What they came up with is a variation of Werebear. So now Werepandas are in the mod! I'll have to give a good description of thier "history" as I will other sub-races.

Note: these dragons don't contain sound files. You'll need the Dragon Sounds install from this thread

Red Dragon

Copper Dragon

Bronze Dragon

Silver Dragon

Preview: (in the same order as the links above)

Enjoy! Sorry it took this long.

 

[tjedge1]

No problem, I'm not near the dragons on the unit lists I've been woking on. So in my book your ahead of schedule. Thanks again!

 

[Arghis]

Well here is for your pleasure a glimpse of what you can hope to see later.

N.b. this is from a small scenario i'm working on, and it's pure test, so don't try to figure anything particular.
