How About a Discworld Scenario?

[The Last Conformist]

Is that bad DL'able anywhere?

 

[mrtn]

Door, maybe add some floodplains Rimwards of the Circle Sea (Tsort and Ephebe)?

 

[Abaddon]

How cool would that be!?!?

building the city watch rather than police
clacks rather than the internet
unseen university

YEY!

 

[Door]

It wasn't available, but I've added it now. I probably won't be working on it again due to university so feel free to do what you want to it. It'd be great if someone wanted to make a scenario out of it.

Edit: Shifted the map download to the earlier post with the map screenshot.

Thanks, door I will have a look at that map tonight.

This is the shortest day of the year, at least here in the northern
hemisphere, does that mean its Hogswatch Day?

 

[The Omega]

A Discworld mod! Yes! Yes! Yes! My greatest fantasy has come to life! Oh, joy!!!! Huzzah! I must do everything I can to make this scenario come to life! [dance]

 

[eric_A]

Lets' talk about this we I get back from vacation on Jan. 2.

Happy Hogswatch!

(I have also updated the first post to include this list)

1. What would be the object of the game? Domination and spaceships
would not be appropriate (wars should be short, bloody and pointless).

2. Need a list of Civs, I think no more than 10 to keep the speed up. Also
a list of cities/towns for each civ. Some of the smaller places could be barb.
villages with names.

3. Need some unusual units (I'm thinking of witches flying on broomsticks,
werewolves, etc.).

4. A list of wonders, (eg. Unseen University) and their effects.
Some of the wonders would have unplesant side effects (like the pyramids that
cause a civilization to get stuck in the past) and I wonder if the game engine
can simulate this in any way.

5. Some unique resources (cabbages, lots of cabbages).

That would be good for a start. I've only read about 2/3rds of the books in
the series so I don't have a complete picture of things

When I was making the map I was thinking of using Ankh Morpork, Klatch, the Agatean Empire, XXXX and Genua as civs, just because they're fairly spread out. You could probably get at least one more of the civilizations between Ankh Morpork and the Hub before it gets crowded, be it Borogravia, Lancre, Uberwald or the like. I was intending to have the small towns around Ankh Morpork as city names. I was also thinking of Krull, but they're stuck on a small island for a while. The Agatean Empire would grow fairly unopposed though. It depends whether you want it accurate to the books or more balanced for gameplay.

 

[Abaddon]

accurate! got to be, its miles better that way. Gives it a much better feel. I want it to be the diskworld, not just civ on a map of the diskworld!

just place all citys, remove settlers and you have it set. Sure different places will be more powerful.. but heck thats life.

and its fun! anyone want the challenge of getting krull of their island and march on the ankh?

This is one of the best ideas in a long time. Spaceship victory is aplicable. Just call it scientiffic venture to find out if the disc really is resting on four elephants on the back of A'tuin. Since their society in the books are very much like modern times, it shouldn't be hard to modify the tochnological tree by just replacing the names for something a little bit more magical. All the units exist allready. Aaglo just did a bunch of Ogres that would more than well pass for Troll.

I agree, I'd love to see a Discworld mod/scenario too!
I think this has been started several times before by different modders, but with no final result. BTW, how about Aaglo's Stone Elemental as a troll? After all they are a siliceous lifeform And Embryodead's Earth Elemental as a Golem.

 

[Abaddon]

Well first things first we need a map... im willing to give it a go (tho im rubbish and it would be a first attempt at a map!)

and then we can get thinking about flavor.. i think most things can remain civ style.. we just need to change names etc.

Leaderheads?

 

[Wolfhart]

This two year old Discworld Mod thread has some usable ideas

 

[Abaddon]

Good work..il work on copy n pasting all the relevant stuff over to this thead.. ive tried contacting the main guy who first mentioned diskworld.. but i dont think he comes anyomre

 

[Abaddon]

Over the summer I actually made a 256*256 Discworld map for C3C. I've attached a pic of it. I haven't worked on it in a while, anyone who wants it is welcome to it. The map itself is more or less done (the edges of the disc could be tidied up), though resources, starting locations and the like are just randomly distributed at the moment. The Discworld appears circular on the map, meaning that in game terms it is taller than it is wide. In retrospect I should probably have made it elliptical.

Edit: I've moved the download to this post.

Cheers dude you beat me to this.. anyone willing to do the research to get realistic locations of resources.. or do we first need to concentrate on renaming the races and giving them correct starting locations/ city placements?
