Freedom Fighters Beta

[The Last Conformist]

All Leaders are called "Chris Stone", which I assume isn't intended.

The Soviets are playable - is this intentional?

 

[Commodore]

I've fixed a lot of what you guys are talking about and will be posting an updated .biq soon.

And yes, the Soviets are meant to be playable.

How long does it take to balance a scenario???

 

[Commodore]

The only thing I have left to rebalance is the techs, but real life has been keeping me busy, so I'll probably be posting the updated .biq this weekend. That's when I'll finally have some free time.

A loooong time in my experience but then I think it's a job best left to the playtesters so c'mon Commodore (Only kidding I know these things take time and when time is in such short supply there's not much you can do about it).

 

[Commodore]

Sorry to inform you guys of this, but some serious personal issues have come up and I won't be able to update for about a month . I know this sucks, but please be patient. I will return to this and finish it.

 

[WildWeazel]

I guess that leaves me with nothing to measure BfNY against.
I hope everything is ok with you Commodore. I won't give up on you.

I just saw a really odd bug. I was starting a new WH2 game, which is about the 3rd game I've started since I last played FF, and when I got to the civ screen I saw "Emperor Chris Stone of Reikland" It fixed itself when I went to another civ and back.

 

[Commodore]

That is wierd . Anybody have an explination?

 

[The Last Conformist]

Well, presumably the name was saved in the ini. Why that should be the case, I have no idea.

Cool! You used my city graphics! I think this will be one of the first times that I will be in someone's credtis.

The scenario looks very promising, but I do have a few questions/ideas:
- why is the city called "Gulf City", when it's obvious that it's New York?
- the tech tree is very close to the EFZI2 tech tree that you based it on. Maybe you should change it a little/a lot.
- I think the Soviets need a new Leaderhead, Bismarck looks too German.

 

[Commodore]

It is called Gulf City because that was the name I was going to use before Weasel Op gave me that map of New York and I just forgot to change it.

Thanks for the feed back everyone. Once I'm able to work on this again I'll be sure to implement these changes.

Good point. Are there any good modern Russian/Soviet/Communist LHs?

Here's a link to Warwind's Tire Fort

I'M BACK! Things weren't as bad as I originally thought and my problems were sorted out pretty quick so now I can finally update this thing and move closer to the final release.

Edit: KA thanks for the tire fort (and thanks to Warwind for making it). Does anyone know of any leaderheads that look like General Tatarin and Chris Stone?

 

[WildWeazel]

Ummm... what do they look like?
There's a Stargate General that I'm using for NYPD, but he's conspicuously American.

 

[Commodore]

These are the best pics I could find of both of them:

 

[WildWeazel]

I did some hard-core tweaking on the NYC map to make it more accurate. If you want to use it I can clear it off for you. I could do more, but I'm going to use dc82's map for the release version so there's not much point in taking a lot of time to fix it up. Or maybe you want to do the same.
