[Development Thread] BtS Unofficial Expansion: World of Legends

[Tee Kay]

City improvement ideas:

- Supermarkets are underrated. I mean, the mere health bonus from [insert relevent resources here] isn't that great, considering how supermarkets revolutionise our society. Supermarkets should give maybe +2 food from food resources and maybe +25% revenue from corporations in that city.
- Hospitals should give +4 health instead of +3.
- Also, new improvement - sewer system - reduce unhealthiness from population by 80% and unhappiness from population by -2.

 

[cybrxkhan]

Improvments have already been decided, but, we will look at your suggestions. Thank you.

First of all, I don't think Supermarket or Hospital needs a boost (Supermarket is nice in BtS), but I agree that a Sewer System could be added (Even though -2 , -80% reduction is too large IMHO).

Secondly, you guys thought about enabling the player to build Espionage Points? It's lacking a bit.

wow. never thought of that.

 

[dutchking]

Yes, and I will be uploading a few "WOL Preview Ads" to the Downloads database, so you guys can get a feel for the awesomeness behind the scene. (Abbas I is already there)

 

[cybrxkhan]

Abbas I is already there

Althuogh in WoL he'll look a little different and he we'll force the poor leader to change his name to "Harun al-Rashid"

 

[Angst]

Oh, and maybe the Brazilian Football Stadium could get a flat +2 Commerce bonus with Nationalism (Or another generic bonus... With Nationalism?)

 

[Ball Lightning]

Can't wait for the WoL ad....

 

[CHEESE!]

- where, if possible, do we download this??? ive searched the site, nothing about any downloads

 

[cybrxkhan]

The mod isn't even available yet. It's still in development.

 

[Ball Lightning]

And it would be at www.civunited.net when it does come out anyway, as it will be a bit large for CFC.

Wow, this looks pretty amazing. Couple quick questions...what's the earliest you think you'll be done iow, what's your goal to finish? Have you gotten any attention from the makers of Civ? Could you put in a large earth map with all your civs on it at once? Still waiting for a good one to show up somewhere. Good Luck!

1. We are now in Phase 2, so hopefully we can finish that by Xmas time. When we are done with Phase 2, it will be our first "official" release (version Alpha), which will allow you to play with the new civs, leaders, units, buildings, wonders, corporations, and such changes. Heroes and mercenaries, the main features, will not be available in Alpha.

2. No.

3. Why wouldn't we do an earth map?

UB: Trading Center (Market) - +10% gold, +1 trade route

Forgive me, but those statistics are out of date. Tamerlame is Agg and Ex, Franz Josef... i forgot.


Also, if I didn't tell anyone else, a "mini-demo" is available here on CFC, which is simply just the Venezuela civ: http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=7500

Looks super awesome!

I have a question though. The second leader pic shown. Is that a serious one, or not? It kinda looks like his beard was painted on using MS Paint Pachacuti looks great though!

The full mod will probably not be finished until Q2 2008, maybe around march. But as cybrxkhan said all the normal expansion features hopefully by christmas. The more we add the longer it is going to take.

And we haven't got any attention yet, but maybe a few words here and there might help

Unfortunately that is ALSO out of date, BUT... our LH maker, Dutchking, has improved so much it seems as if there was divine intervention.

Pachacuti was actually Dutchking's first official work for the mod.

Oh, and we have a new "fake" news article: http://forums.civunited.net/viewtopic.php?f=96&p=13697#p13697

 

[Angst]

Haha, great article

Oh, and another note:

UU idea: what about a UU which decreased Opponents' first strikes? I know that real First Strikes do in some way

(With a unit w/ 1 first strike vs 1 first strike unit, none of them get any)

But maybe a UU (Siege?) with the ability to reduce an enemy unit's first strikes? It's crappy and situational, and it's what I'm looking for at least.
To even it out ofc we could make a unit, which would otherwise get 1 first strike reduce the opposing unit by 3 first strikes? It would be devastating against the Oromo fx, and would be a kinda nice bonus.

Maybe to one of the Elephants? (Not touching Vietnam, not touching Vietnam)
