Europe in 2002

[Archer 007]

Haven't edited the tech tree yet. The improvements/units/wonders editor isn't in MGE, so i couldn't use it. That really sucked to lose a feature in an update. Thanks for all your wonderful help. I would have never guessed that i made that simple kind of error.

 

[insurgent]

I once sat for a day trying to figure out what was wrong with an events file, and in the end the problem was that I had forgotten the "T" in "TEXT" in a text popup event...

Yeah, MGE is not as good as FW on some areas. It annoys me for instance that there is no such thing as "major objectives" in MGE. That way, the victory system of many FW games is screwed up if the scenario is played in MGE...

 

[Archer 007]

Yep. And now an update.

Placed the wonders and set up cities except for Central Europeans. Working on the storyline. Does anyone have some modern-looking units i could use?

Heres a few i'm requesting:
Hamas Sucide Bomber
Leopard II armour
Challenger II armour
LeClerc armour
F-16
F-18
MiG-21
MiG-31

 

[insurgent]

Scott Fluhr and WINTER has made Leopard tanks, they're available in the Units! thread, and for the F-16 and the MiG-21, I believe they can be found in APL's Crises scenario...

W.I.N.T.E.R. has made a Leopard 2A5 in the second-last post of this page:

ANZAC posted some Leopard 2A4s by Scott Fluhr in the middle of this page:

Thanks for the links. I'll check em out.

Problem
Temples and Cathederals are haveing no effect. Why would this be happening?

Also, which was the first country in Europe to have each of the following.

Network News
Internet
Nuclear Weapons
Computers w/ Graphic Interface

When i try to add custom terrain graphics, it uses them, but purple triangles come up out of the side. How do i stop this?

 

[Archer 007]

Was able to answer my own purple triangle question.

Important stuff now,
Here's the first screenshot from Europe 2002:

Dang, can't get it to work. Would someone tell me how?

 

[insurgent]

I don't know why, but the upload function doesn't work correctly by me either.
There are, however, some ways I can make it work. Usually it works when I have zipped the files, and it only works with images when I have them in GIF or JPEG formats... Try converting it to GIF or JPEG (GIF: Not possible to do properly in MSPaint, JPEG: Poor picture quality, much noise).

 

[Archer 007]

Ok. Thanks! Do you know who was the first to use those things? Look up for the list.

Here's the shot:

 

[insurgent]

I suggest that you choose "Reveal whole map" from the Cheat Menu, Scenario Parametres... That reveals things like railroads, roads, irrigation, mining, farmland, and cities, so that not only the cultivation around the cities can be seen (as on the screenshot)...

 

[Archer 007]

The map is revealed. The vegetable-looking growth near the cities is farmland. The ax thingy is mining. The white lines are Magnetic Levitation (railroads). Their not on this part of the map, but there are also interstates (roads). And i guess the new title for this scenerio is Euro 2010, because i've made some futuristic type additions that you all will finally get to see at release.

Network News - Depends what you mean, I think Germany had T.V. first.
Internet -it's a "world wide" thing so all at the same time, but a British guy invented it...
Nuclear Weapons -the United Kingdom
Computers w/ Graphic Interface -all at the same time to my knowage.

Are these going to be Wonders? If so I'd go for more country specific things, mabe attributes of the peoples, e.g. "German efficency"

 

[Archer 007]

Ok, i've got all the other wonders plodded out. Some i'm opening the rest to the public.

What should each of these wonders be and who should own them?

Statue of Lilbety
Great Library
Mannathian Project
SETI

their prerequisite techs cannot be changed (but can be renamed) or they won't function.

 

[Archer 007]

Thanks kobayashi!
That's exactly the problem.

 

[mordhiem]

Ugh! Those roads (and to a lesser extent, cities) are UGLY! Change them now!!!

 

[Archer 007]

Mordhiem, the roads have been changed. I'll try to find some different city art to use for European cities. I've have really pretty ones for the rest of them.

 

[Legions4Ever]

that was quite mean Mordhiem. Why the tone of anger

 

[Archer 007]

Maybe someone drunk all him coffee. Need caffenine.
