General Questions!

[lost_etchings]

Hi all!

First off, has anyone created, working on, or know of a scenario based on George Orwell's '1984'. I didn't see anything on a quick search, but figured someone might be able to point me somewhere where I could find one. Or someone could start making one. Great book.

Second, I was considering fooling around with adding units to the game. For starters, I figured I could spice up modern warfare a little bit by adding the Machine Gun Battalion from the WWII Conquest, having it upgrade to TOW Infrantry, and let the Guerrila be a dead-end unit. But I'm unsure of where to add the Machine Gun Battalion in the tech tree. Any suggestions?

Third, what's with the yellow dot that appears in the bottom left interface panel? I think it has something to do with Global Warming / Pollution, but can't find any documentation regarding it. And I've basically read the Civilopedia and Manual basically back to back.

Finally, I've got to say that Civ Rocks. I got my hands on a copy of Civ III and Conquests at the beginning of the summer, and every free moment I have has me conquering the world by whatever means available. Great fun.

Thanks in advance!

1. Sorry, I cant help i nthis question... if you havent found it woth the search...

2. Mass Production or Motorized Transport (imho)

3. Yes, it has something to do with Global Warming - it shows that!
The little sun appears when the first pollution-maker thing appears (size 13 city or factory) and will get darker with further pollutions...

BTW, Welcome in CFC!!!

There's a "Creation and Customization" forum here. There might be someone there who can help you (although the only military units in 1984 are the Floating Fortresses, which are just alluded to).

Thanks guys, questions are answered. I had figured that mass-production would be a pretty good spot, so I'll figure out how to add it there. Plus there seem to be some good articles here.

And I could post over at another sub-forum regarding 1984, and will probably do that at some point, but figure that there isn't anything more that anyone would have to say about it. And Mewarthio, I do believe that the book makes references to other potential units, specialized snipers and such, but I don't have a copy on hand to check.

Thanks!
