..... I don't understand what you mean?

dalek_master whate civs have you done so far so i can make units for them??

all of them, including the dragon riders (although I disagree with adding the civ), and a new one, Hadarac desert tribes.

i mean whate u said lol

we prob wont add the dragon riders then. Depends in we can get a model.Email the civs or post them to me so i can add them and then we might be able to get something released

iv just finished deleting the units that wont be used in the game tanks ect and started puting in new ones.
not sure how zenious is getting on with the techs.
well done on the civs do you want anything else to do yet??? if you do we need some titlescreen art. A bit like the ones below thanx

 

[Zenious]

Well, I don't know what you want me to do with some of them, like promotions, which to reveal resources, units, etc.
EDIT: What should the eras be, or do we need to have any?

P.S.
Where did u find those pics? I say either bottom left or top right.

Ok, well, I can do the map, but, firstly I'm not sure if we should put in the unknown continent, since we don't know the ending of the book. I will leave room though to put it in if we want. How big do you want the map to be?

I think I know enough xml to do what your talking about with the heros, but why don't you lay out exactly what you want it to be in terms of heros.

Also are you making events happen at certain times like Desert Mod. like certain heros will appear certain places at certain times. (If you're not sure what I'm talking about, play about 25-50 terms of desert mod and look at the red on the tech tree.)

Btw, when does the 3rd book come out?

Btw, when does the 3rd book come out?

I think it said the beginning of January 07.

 

[Zenious]

I think you should do a huge map and a tiny one, because of CPU speeds, etc. But don't put in the unknown continent because we don't know how big it is or anything about it.

You are helping, aren't you, ice2k4? (so i can put you in my sig)

 

[dalek master]

great... nice pics but I don't think we should use the film picture.

who's doing the buildings? I think some of the units should require certain buildings, so they aren't completly ignored...

 

[Zenious]

I've toughed through and got most of the basic stuff done with the xml part. I've been thinking... could we add currency (after trade) and paper (after writing and before the languages) to the list of techs?

*logging off to play a bit of Civ IV*

ye go ahead your incharge of the techs now

I think I know enough xml to do what your talking about with the heros, but why don't you lay out exactly what you want it to be in terms of heros.

its quite hard to explain but... the heros are going to be the leaders of each civ.Exept for the obvious ones like eragon ayra and brom. You need to ask dalek master who the leaders are because hes doing the civs but i think its
empire-leader/galabotrix-hero/galabotrix
surda-leader/oromis-hero/oromis
varden-leader/ajihad-hero/ajihad
dwarves-leader/hothgror-hero/hothgror
ectect......ask dalekmaster
great to have you help though

who's doing the buildings?

no one yet........

EDIT: What should the eras be, or do we need to have any?

i dont think they have ares exept before the fall and after the fall..

 

[dalek master]

um... ok I'll do the leaders....

This will be the last time I suggest that the dragon riders should not be in the first build. I just think that it would be boring to simply watch the game as the empire takes over. As far as im concerned, we should start it after the fall, to show the birth of the Varden and its battles with the forsworn...
We could always show a little movie or intro text underlining what happened...

Still need a decent dragon rider graphic either way though...

EDIT: I passed 200 posts without noticing it! drinks all round!

 

[jamie006]

dalek master i meant uv done the leaders for the civs.....Havnt you???????
well hold back the dragon riders till a later version
hope this clears things up

You are helping, aren't you, ice2k4? (so i can put you in my sig)

Ok I'll make a small one and a large one, but they will slightly differ, as I can not make them exactly the same (well I guess I could if I refresh my memory on using python to do the maps.)

Anyway, yes you can add me to your sig for now.

 

[dalek master]

dalek master i meant uv done the leaders for the civs.....Havnt you???????

well I hadn't but I start now, its just leaders are quite different things from the civs.
Can I ask what the leaders will be tohugh? These are the onse I know and will put in now...(I can't remember how to spell some of the names but I'll check in the book for the file). The leaders with units are first, then the second leader doesn't have a unit on the map:

Varden: Ajihad, seconded by Nasuada
Empire: Gallbatorix (the empire falls after his unit dies remember, so no second)
Elves: ??????????
Dwarves: Hrothgar, seconded by ?????????
Urgals: ??????????

 

[ice2k4]

Well in the game, if you do the event thing I proposed, when Ajihad does, you could have Nasuada take over, and her unit is produced on the map.

ok, but eventauly each civ (except the empire), will need a leader without a unit. Otherwise you would need to have LOADS of leaders to take over when the unit dies.

yes true exept for galabotrix. When his unit dies you win so he'l have to be extra strong
Civ leaders\
varden-ajhad-nauseda
Elves-Izlanzadi-ayra (you will understans when you finish eldest)
Dwarvs-hothgror-orik
Empire-galabotrix
Surda-Oromis
Urguls-Garzhvog(again you will inderstand when you finish eldest)

 

[jamie006]

For that hero thingy, I think you should do this:

each civ has the leaders from the books.
all the characters can be trained, but if a "ledaer" type hero, dies, then the civ gets a new leader based on who would be most likely out of the minor or major characters. For instance, If the elven leader were to die in battle, the leader for that civ would be replaced. This would be hard though....

Heroes would just train like normal units, but you can only train them once (no coming back to life).

Also, if gallbatrox (i think, I wish the names were easier), dies, the empire crumples and the goodie civs win. This can be the objective when playing the goodie civs.

When playing the badies, (which ofcourse will have a differnt playing style and feel), you can win by, um I don't know, capture all the 2nd generation dargon-riders? they can be caught and the winner is the one that has all 3 or something.

Sorry, im only about a 5th through eldest if I have shown my ignorance

those civs and stuff coming...

Ice2k4 is your suggestion similer to this?????
