Oooohhhh..... Prettyful....

Well, I`ve learned one thing - testing something (especially an alpha version!) in what you weren`t directly envolved during creation becomes a responsibility.. Gaming should not be a responsibility

I hope you get more testers for the beta, its much easier than alpha-testing Actually, that depends how much you fixed and updated in the Beta

Now I can see the first, but not the second

Its still fun to alpha test...and you get to put your two cents in even though you aren't directly involved during creation. I just completed my first full game of Dragonia (36 hours of play), in which I caught some more bugs and fixed them.

Since the alpha, I've added more units, added the new goblin leaderheads, changed up some labels, added more civilopedia text, made some new interface graphics, worked on the improvements/wonders, made some changes from your feedback, and fixed some bugs.

Just to show that the project is still alive and kicking (I took a break to work on a DirectX proof of concept for SSS), here are some screenshots of the new worldsetup and playersetup that I have just completed:

Next I have to finish my buildings.pcx file, and then finishe some civopedia entries. Then I release my first version to the public!

Its great! I especially love the Climate, Temp. and Age choosers! Very, very nice!

Civ4? Eat your heart out!

 

[Storm Grunt]

Very nice Darque, I like the stone texture. It matches your mod perfectly.

Finished the diplomacy screens. Here is a screenie for everyone:

The game will now exit. Fu*k you and have a nice day.

 

[Darque]

OK...I have decided to release the mod in beta. While beta is in progress, I will complete some more UI changes, finish the buildings.pcx, add more civopedia entries, fix bugs found in beta, and maybe add a couple more things.

Stay tuned...

That neo-orog shaman looks a lot like chaos warrior (from warhammer fantasy)

What is this "infinitum"? A MMORPG ?

 

[Darque]

Infinitum is a web site that contains the animations from Infinity Engine games (Baldus Gate, Icewind Dale, Plansecape, etc) in gif format as well as conversions to the Diablo 2 format. You can access it here.

 

[Stormrage]

I`ll contact my boyz

I could use Yuan-ti as the Tsaesci barbarians (invaders) for the TES mod

 

[Darque]

ive been playing as the furn and i was thinking why not have them setup like this instead:

So you want the Defensive track to be Hoplite (civ3 vanilla unit), Auxiliria, Hastati (aka Roman Pike), and Buccellarii
And the Offensive track to be Furn Champion (Achilles unit), Principes, Legionary, and Heavy Legionary.

I have thought about it...and have decided I will change it as so:
Defense: Hoplite, Hastati, Auxiliria, Buccellarii
Offense: Principes, Legionary, Champion, Hvy Legionary

I am basing my choice based on my understanding of this site
Comments? Suggestions?

 

[bigdog5994]

i think the champion should be first on the offensive line because its more greek and more ancient looking

 

[Darque]

I look at champions as the first unit to use magically enhanced weapons and armor. And so they get tied to the Magic Weapons tech. Is there a better animation I should use for a Furn Champion?

maybe this can come at magic items

i dont really like the Buccellarii because it seems to not really be an upgrade to a pikeman so what about this instead

so im thinkin

Offensive line- champion, civ legion, kin's legion, and heavy legion

defensive line- hoplite, roman pikeman, auxilria, scupio (utah's unit)
