island conquest scenario

[striq]

this zip is my first scenario. I've used alot of different units, techs, buildings, civilizations, and more. thank you to all the great creators out there. Play as one of the civilized nations in a race to domination. The pirate alliance adds spice and challenge to ruling the world. by the way, this scenario's content is rated TEEN for some mildly sugestive themes.

it seems the uploader is down... i will try to post later.

38.3MB? lol

Tried it, was pretty neat, though the tech screens seem a bit weird, because the arrows dont go all the way to the tech. I figure its just graphics.

HOWEVER! All Pirate land units are invisible to me. I saw phantom warriors kill barbarians and then 2 Pirates swordsmen landed on my isle. They could only be seen on landing (while moving from water to land) but were invisible after. Could be killed, still, but it will be unfun if I dont see my enemy... Is it intentional or bug? Or is it happening only on my machine? c3c, path 1.22

 

[striq]

yah, it is intentional... i wanted the pirates to be harrassing the regular civs to make the game more challenging. later on everyone (except the pirates) can build land units that detect invisibility. The pirates can't build settlers or a number of military units (including the most powerful ones in the scenario). I did this to make the pirates power peak early on and wane ase time went on.

as far as the techs... yah, never got around to making the arrows look good, that is coming soon. You can see what techs are dead end, and if you right click on a tech it will tell you what it leads to as well as what is required to research it.

Then its not so bad, since they cant build settlers... I can beat them The tech pace is also very slow, with 7 cities I cant get under 50 turns...

yes, the pirates are beatable, especialy when you have powerful units. As far as the techs... ****below is a spoiler****












yes it is slow going in the begining but if you concentrate on expansion and millitary early on the when you turn the corner and concentrate on population you should have a great food and commerce base to help you research quickly. I did this intentionaly so the game would better suit the conquest victory conditions.
