This looks interesting as a mod I am surprised no feedback posted yet, I will try it as soon as time permits.

keldath · Apr 19, 2010

awesome mod!!!

stolenrays · Apr 19, 2010

Thanks so much! I worked about 3 weeks on it. Wish I could have had gunboats and events for israeli invasion of lebanon and U.S. appearing in late 80's.

That joke must have gone over my head, lol.

The_J · Apr 19, 2010

Ups, sorry, it's not his map, i didn't look precisly enough.

dreadknought · Apr 19, 2010

Ok Im starting a game on monarch level with Iraq, will let you know how it plays out next few days, map looks cool, 95 turns to achieve some sort of victory looks like. Not sure how the smaller countries could win or figure into things unless they just pick a side? This map could be fun to simulate a Israel/Arab type regional conflict as well.

Noted that I can still build a regular marine as well a republican guard, also basic fighter is available at start.

Noted Iraq can build Statue of liberty, broadway, pentagon, various other WW, not sure if you wonted them in or not.

I didnt realize Iran had so many cities,lol.

First turn Cypress declared war on Mujahadeen.

Nov. 1980, first incursion into Iraq, BMP-1 defeats Iranian gunship.

stolenrays · Apr 20, 2010

Thanks for the input and I welcome more:

With the smaller countries, I just wanted all to be playable. Regular victory rules apply. I guess I could change things if I knew what to do or got some tips.

Forgot about the reg marine available. Don't think it is a big deal, but could delete if it is a problem.

Didn't realize basic fighter was available. Think I should delete it? Some of the countries had those basic fighters I believe, but I doubt they figured into the conflicts.

Yeah, I didn't mind about all the regular world wonders available since my new ones didn't cover all the bases.

I've also fixed the pink promotion problem that occurs on mini promotion icons whenever the Mod path has spaces in it. You can research Kurdish Insurgency, but it appears obscured by Chemical Weapons in the tech tree. I'll fiddle with the tecn tree. I'll try and pack the art files for faster loading as well.

I wanted to put camps in there from the Mongol Warlord Mod for Palestine/Rebels, but couldn't get them to work. I also wanted to mod the Apostolic palace into OPEC to do trade embargos, etc., but didn't know how.

To me the wonders being in seem stranger than the marine or fighter, I guess I cant imagine Iran or Iraq with the statue of Liberty :lol:

but not a big deal really. A few turns in and fighting is slow to develope and I have changed to hereditary rule which helps quite alot. I get the feeling once I research rocketry and get a few troops built then I can press the border cities quickly.

Yeah OPEC would be interesting, not sure how to put that in esp. with the narrow economy the game runs on.

April 1981 we capture ILAM, Iran is point leader though 1734 to 1435.

nudden · Apr 20, 2010

just a quick question: from where do you get the t-62 model? it doesnt seem to have the right .kfm file (now it's the tank.kfm). is it animated at all?

cheers

stolenrays · Apr 20, 2010

Yeah, I can't remember where I got the t-62, but I remember reading that it doesn't have a .kfm file. Sorry about that. I could replace it with another medium tank they used. Any suggestions? (Complete congrats on the Late Game Mod nudden. Would not have been able to make this mod without the hard work from your team.)

Also, fixed the tech tree this morning.

Anybody else think I should take out the Statue of Liberty and Broadway to make it more realistic? Sounds reasonable enough.

Also, the spionage icon seemed to disapear on the upper left hand corner. Any suggestions how to fix it?

And for the Marine...guess we stumbled upon how to make multiple unique units for a class :goodjob:

. Would come in handy for instance if you wanted the US to make F-14's and F-16's or if countries imported a viariety of weapons like soviet and U.S. tanks.

I'll try and upload a new version soon.

dreadknought · Apr 20, 2010

I would probaly take out Statue of Liberty, broadway, pentagon, though you could probaly just switch them for something more regional, I built the pentagon and Statue of Liberty in my game in Iraq. Im about halfway through and a couple of strange things have occured so far, will add more about it later tonite.

Ok well, August 1982 Iran was elected head of the Apostolic palace (seems odd for this scenario), and shortly after the resolution to stop fighting w/ brothers of the faith was passed and the war was stopped between Iran/Iraq. Then the Saudis declared war on me. I took one Saudi city (Arar) by Dec. 1982, and then Saudis gave me some gold for peace. Iran asked for tribute 1 time which I paid out so we have stayed at peace up to 1984.

In the mean time Iran has picked up at least 3 vassels and gained a huge point lead on e-1 and I guess the smaller civs play an important role as vassels in tilting the power structure.

So the vassels and the fact that the war can be stopped and then include other countries are all things to consider here. I guess it depends on how realistic you wont things to play out. Im having fun trying it, it moves along quickly, and there alot of little scenarios you could try with that map.

stolenrays · Apr 21, 2010

Glad to hear it is fun. Wanted to play the scenerio, but it didn't exist!

So, I guess take out the Apostollic Palace?
Up the vassal rating for the leaders? I did that with a few since Talal and Mubarak were always beging to be my vassal from turn 1.

Well, with the other countries declaring war on Iraq, I guess I could increase their attitude rating towards the Iraq if you think that'd help. Late in the War arab troops were involved in the conflict for Iraq. Egyptian troops is all I remember, and Iran attacked a lot of arab oil facilities and tankers.

BTW, added graphics for some of the buildings today. Also modified the tech tree so that only the soviets get carriers and battleships. Added a national wonder of armorment financing (leonardo's workshop) so that upgrades are half price in that city.

Yes on AP(out), and the attitude adjustments, new wonder and art sounds nice, I think with some tweaking and testing you can get some other Arabs to join Iraq or at least not oppose them. Really like the units, maybe Iraq long range missel needs model name, Looking forward to the updates :goodjob:

stolenrays · Apr 21, 2010

Which countries in particular became vassals and declared war on whom? This will tell me what to change.

I believe changing attitudeplayer in worldbuilder changes likelihood of declaring war? And the vassal entry in the leader if raised makes them resistant to become a vassal?

Are wonders easy enough to build as well? I had a feeling they might take too long so I'm gonna reduce their cost.

Adding a new button for the al-Shaheed monument. Hollywood becomes Lollywood. Adding Kuwaiti Towers, Faisal Mosque, and the Cyrus Cylinder replaces Statue of Liberty, Broadway replaced by Baghdad Opera House perhaps. Rock and roll replaced by folk music.

keldath · Apr 21, 2010

how about adding revdcm - so the betterai will be included?

OK here is the current vassels/ March 1986 (29 turns remain)

Afgans---vassal of Russia

Jordan--Lebanon vassals of Iran

Pakistan--Kuwait vassals of Turkey

I know Iran had Jordan at one time so I guess they switched. Most of the other countries are cautious toward me except Israel is pleased with me.

The wonders build pretty fast in Iraq once the cities grow some so the build times seem good, there are several Iraq cities that have alot of shields and food once they get some decent size. It is important to get workers going fast with just 95 turns. Really the Iraq economy is very good if you build it out. I dont believe there is time enough for a culture victory and probaly not enough for a spaceship victory in 95 turns. In my game Iran had 3000+ points compared to around 2k for turkey, Iraq, Russia. The victory condition here would be fun if they still had those victory flag points like in civ 3.

Im not sure of the exact tweaks on attitudes, should be some modders around that can advise on that. The new wonder changes sound really nice!

You may wont to consider which civs to keep open to play, do you wont to let those smaller ones to be playable? and if so how will they win. Its tricky having nukes in as well, I guess they were around but its not realistic to see anyone use them in that time period.

I have really no idea how to do that. If it is easy and doesn't require python or sdk I could prob do it. Maybe if you gave me some tips also. Also, after I finish this version, if you wanted to add it to the version, we could do that! thanks for the tips.

As for the vassals, i could also make them at permant peace with iran/iraq.

dreadknought · Apr 22, 2010

Playing a new game tonite as Iraq again , I rushed Abadan and took it and destroyed those air units which was fun, going to see how far I can push into southern Iran now.
