[MOD] The Second Revolution!

[GarretSidzaka]

Something I greatly need for this mod:
I need a unit remake of the Grenadier with its animation. It is to be a plainclothes protester, tossing molotov cocktails instead of 'nades.

 

[turquoiseninja]

For wonders, maybe have Revolution Square in Cuba. (+3, +3 health, +6 culture)

And you could include Mount Rushmore for the Americans, to decrease war weariness and help Bush's militiristic police state maintain control of the population.

This mod is sooooo awesome.

I must admit how pleased I am that I get to play to the symbolic and rythmic tune of of "America: **** Yeah."

I can't wait for the final edition, but could you make a few more units just for variety? Maybe a SWAT unit or something? I like the police idea alot, very creative.

 

[turquoiseninja]

Moltov cocktails=good idea. Have you tried requesting it to our good friend the White Rabbit? BWT, who made the new unit graphics for the original? Like the geneticly enhaced troopers and rods from the gods? And also, like 5 minutes ago on the radio I heard that awesome song that's the battle music for this scenario. What's the name of that song? I must obatin it...

 

[GarretSidzaka]

bro, i have mad new units going in, more than double than in the current version. and lots of new techs too. lots of new and redone buildings.

and right now im in the developmental stage for an completely new civics page.

edit: i think the 'song is paint it black' by the rolling stones. anyone correct me if im wrong

Can you remove the units that can't be made, like warriors and archers, if you haven't already? I think that might reduce the loading time a bit, especially if you're tossing in dozens of new units.

yup, they included a "barebones mod" in the warlords area with all that crap removed, so this new mod will just be a true total conversion because all the old techs are gone. and i agree with you, the load times will definately decrease!

 

[GarretSidzaka]

Progress has been made!

Here are the orignal pics i downloaded for the leaderheads. I have saved them also as 512X512 .dds files for the game, but here they are raw jpegs

What do you think of them?

Marcos

Stephen Harpers

Felipe Calderon (not yet elected )

The Castro Brothers

Rebel Coalition

And George W. Bush (whose hand gesture had to be censored for this forum ) I dont think im gonna use this one on second thought

 

[GarretSidzaka]

which one of these for bush leaderhead?

What do you think?

 

[Norseman2]

Definitely the third one. You usually don't have a revolution until you have a dipshit in power.

 

[lostkiwi]

How about this one?

with his hand over his stomach and not his heart

 

[guspav]

all well except maybe that if you include Calderon, you should also include Lopez Obrador (maybe even replacing Marcos since he hasn't got any popularity anymore) maybe this isn't the place to discuss this, but there was an elections fraud here in Mexico (headed by Calderon) and Lopez is fighting it peacefuly..
just a suggestion of course, it is your mod
oh btw calderon would favor a police state, be aggressive and spiritual (ultra-right wing bastard)
lopez would favor democracy, state property (center left) be industrious and creative (high popularity-> higher culture+ building lots of things when he was the mayor of mexico city)

Yes, guspav.
Believe it or not, ive been following what has been going on in mexico right now. you guys (mexicans) are experiencing what we had in 2000 and 2004, and it sucks.
i wont have obrador replace marcos, because lopez wont pull a trigger, marcos will >

 

[turquoiseninja]

Yay Marcos! I like the third Bush picture. The Harpers picture is good because it also has the flag there.

 

[GarretSidzaka]

Yeah, im using the third one now.

Im having a problem everyone! i need to create a brand-freaking-new map for this mod. im making it a 70X65 map, smaller than original, and ive been trying to use that crappy BMP-WBS converter, but i get all ocean instant death, and the WBS files look really screwy. What should i do? any one have a good 70X65 n america map around?

Love your mod Garret! The coolest I've played so far!

Question for you: Do you bother building workers and rebuilding your destroyed farms and cottages?

In my game (playing as the rebels), Bush is continuously using his jet fighters to destroy my improvements even though I down many of his planes. I haven't really notice a negative impact on city production or overall cash so I haven't bothered building workers.

Will that come to haunt me later or can I continue with the total war until my territory is secure enough to allow me to build without chance of being destroyed?

 

[lostkiwi]

ooo and a suggestion: Couldn't the rebel coalition be a different colour than the barbarian black? Makes it hard to see on the globeview or just see whats rebel and whats just neutral.

I build workers, but not many, and I usually keep em on automated, just coz the territory get to be rather large.

I dont think it will haunt you later, unless your cities' regions get too bombed to produce. But i recommend building a few workers and replace them as they get killed or stolen (which happened alot to me.) I also recommend adopting a blitzkrieg-style strategy with the "guerilla" units and T-80's to lay the smackdown on bush. remember, later in the game, the alliances get wierd, coz i didnt lock them.

I like your idea on changing the color, what color do you recommend?
