Dictator Mge

[CurtSibling]

Due to my disillusion with CIV3 and it's spawn, PTW, I have found myself back working on CIV2!

I have decided to pull mothballed projects back into full production, and am enjoying the simple and straightforward mod-making pleasure of MGE.
After this will come Dictator III and Soviet Steel...

Why CIV3 is so hard to mod is beyond me...
OK, here is the info on Dictator MGE;

It features graphic tweaks by myself, Also absolutely superb graphics by;
Captain Nemo, Dannyevilcat, Tanelorn, Techumseh, Favouredflight St. Leo and ANZAC.

Also extensive upgrades to city, icons, sheilds, terrian, etc.
The rules are a development from the previous Dictator scenarios.

The only frustrating thing about MGE is the limited amount of units and events, but it is fun to make scenarios with!

The only things left to do are unit-placement and events...then playtesting.
I am confident this is the best scenario I have done...and one of the prettiest...

Here are the units...

Here are the icons;

I am looking forward to play your scenario, I've been waiting for this day to come, since I don't have test of time

 

[CurtSibling]

Eivind IV, I hope Dictator MGE lives up to your expectations!

I finished the unit placement just now, only events and sound to go!

 

[Mikoyan]

YES!!
Mwaha, this is great news indeed!
I almost thought you had given up on us MGE'ers Curt!

 

[insurgent]

That's good news! Dictator MGE, I'll be playing that...

Looking very, very good

One thing however: How will we tell the nationality of non nation specific units?
Looking at your units.gif all settlers/AAs and so on will be using the same shield regardless of nationality.

 

[CurtSibling]

Thanks guys!

I realised that CIV2 is where I belong!

The reason I gave all units a sheild is that they looked a bit bare compared to the national units...

But Putting the view cursor over them will determine the nationality, Otherwise it's friendly fire time!

But I can fix them to show some colour if it proves a problem during playtesting...

How about making a DictatorsFW for those poor souls who dont have MGE?

 

[Ohwell]

Thank you!! I have been waiting for this scenario for ages!

 

[The Art of War]

Is there a definite due date for the .scn yet? I really look forward to playing it. It looks great!

 

[Vdog]

What is MGE?

 

[The Art of War]

Mulitplayer Gold Edition. Its the same thing as Civ2 Gold...

Download the MGE Converter. I forgot weither i got it here or somewhere else. I makes MGE files into FW files. Very useful.

 

[SunTzu]

Great news Curt!

 

[CurtSibling]

Thanks for all the kudos, gentlemen!
I didn't know people really wanted a MGE version, or I would have done it earlier!

I hope to have this thing out the door by saturday...
I would release it earlier, but I want to make sure it has everything.

Only events and title gif to do now, then the tweaks!

I tried the Battle of Britain sequence...(this is when the scenario kicks off) This war is gonna be messy!!!

PS
If it goes well, I might do a FW patch, but that version has even less scope for extra units, etc.

I would agree with archer_007, the convertor is useful.
Also MGE is still around on the game shelves, my local gamestore
had it, at £9.99!

I will keep youse posted on my progress!
Cheers!

 

[CurtSibling]

The shield problem got me thinking, so here is the units v.2 !

 

[dannyevilcat]

I love the tweaks you did on some of my units, Curt. Looks fantastic!

(but it's too bad about your disillusionment with Civ3)

 

[CurtSibling]

My disillusionment with CIV3 is more a realisation that I needed a varied CIV-life.

I re-discovered CIV2!

But I will still play CIV3, no and then..right now MGE is my bag.

PS
Danny, check you PM, if you get a chance!

About the settler: are you really going to have him be the slow settler, or the faster settler?

Off topic, do you still have a working copy of Dictator "Open Season" for TOT, or know where I could find it?
