Dawn of the Future

View spoiler for old file info.

Spoiler :

EDIT: Version 2.8 is now available for download.

I finally finished this masterpiece (in my opinion ) and am very proud of it.
This mod (for thats what it is, for now) was built off the base of The Godfather's "A Real Modern Start" for Conquests. I added on to it, and enhanced it, essentially making a totally different game.
And, don't use Civil Engineers or Policemen, because the game will crash.

EDIT: Here is updated editor version 3.2:

EDIT: As of July 31st, 2010 at 12:15 AM, I have determined that this mod no longer represents me and my modding skills. I have since moved on to MUCH better things that have far surpassed this. This mod is no longer available on the web. I'm sorry, but if I feel like remaking it, then take comfort in the fact that it will be a lot better than this.

Screenies please!

[Meteor Man]

[Meteor Man]

More screenies.

[Meteor Man]

I would appreciate any commens, seggestions, productive critisism, ect.

 

[Meteor Man]

Why are there still no replies? Please I need some feedback!

 

[Meteor Man]

Feedback, people, feedback!

 

[The Omega]

There's too great a cost difference between the starting units and the later ones. I've just gotten to the future epoch, and everyone's still just using assault infantry and defensive infantry, since you can create an army of them by the time you've made a single elite assault infantry, which only has a few more attack and defense points than normal assault infantry.

 

[Meteor Man]

So, I will up the attack of the elite units. And thanks for the feedback!
It is based off The_Godfather's idea that regular units are cheap to build, but have regular attack. The elite units are a lot more expensive, but it pays off to build them. I guess that i did not make the elite units worth enough to build, except the Forest Commando, which I lessened the attack a little from 45 to uh... 35, I think.

Check post #3 for the new biq: Version 1.1

And once again, this is a mod that I spent a lot of time working on and would appreciate any comments AT ALL.

Thank you.

 

[Meteor Man]

Has anyone gotten a chance to dl and try it AT ALL? Please tell something about my work, it took me a LONG time to make it and I keep upgrading it every day. Please, I would like any eplies AT ALL!

 

[Quinzy]

There is a Law stating that a unit with an attack of 2x is not equal to two units of attack 1x, rather, two units of (sq root)2

This is just to help you get a balance right!

I'll see if I have time between work to play this! It looks like it's fun

 

[Meteor Man]

I'm a little confused around the math part.

Because of all the files in the first and third posts, I will upload everything to atomic gamer so as not to produce confusion in the download process. Oh, and version 2.0 is now available.

 

[jlvfr]

Just started a game with this. 2 points
- when I started (britain), I could see the whole world, as well as a lot of resources. Is this intended? If so, I have to say I don't like it much... the mistery of finding stuff or not is one of the main adrenalin-pullers in the game

- when I started, I had 3 settlers, an army and a worker. Also, the settlers couldd move 3 squares, regardless of terrain. Is this correct?

 

[Meteor Man]

I could change it so that the map is not totally visible, but that is the way it was in 1948, or when this game starts. But if you don't like it, I could change it .

And yes, the movement of the settlers are intentional. I wanted quick expansion so that warfare could begin early. Thanks for replying.

EDIT: don't you also start out with a defensive infantry?

And just a note, I am done with version 3.1 and will post it soon.

But these are random maps, not real-world maps, so...

EDIT: don't you also start out with a defensive infantry?

Yes, a low level 1...

 

[Meteor Man]

Okay I fixed the editor so that the map would not be revealed. Redownload the biq. in post 1.

I have a question; it's a minor thing... How did you get the tech boxes to look different in the science advisor screen from one era to another (i.e., brown in the third era, silver in the fourth)? Maybe this is a simple thing everyone knows, but it's the first time I remember seeing it (blind as I am)....

Isn't that by default?
