Mordor

[Nicheal]

Hello. A long time after playing the great Test of Time SciFi Szenario i saw the
Szenario "Lord of the Rings" and the idea was born to create my own Szenarios.

And after playing the Szenario "Return of the King", created by Favoured Flight,
i am very ashamed of my owns.
I thought my little modding hobby is good enough for the last ToT player on earth,
ten years after the games publishing, and a few years after CIV III.

CIV IV, i am very afraid, is not a masterpiece.
I would have been lucky to play Civilization III Test of Time...

Now. After playing the great, great, great, but small Szenario "Return of the King",
created by the great, great, great Favoured Flight, i am very ashamed of my own
little creation, and i payed a lot for that !

I created a Map of Middle Earth about 28,800 ! The seven Empires have over 200 cities,
with new names like the orcisch "Gronc" or "Orcont".
A complete tec tree, eighty units well balanced and expensive, great ToT Sounds,
72 kb Events.txt, my own units and sprites...
Settlers to work on, and all the city improvements arent available or built yet to
get a hard and warlike real CIV game !

After playing the great, great, great "Return of the King" i think i have made a too
"real-like" game and probably it might work... difficult.
But whatever. I will oversend this Szenario to this Forum that other Fanatics can play or
surrender...

Its in german and i havent played a long testgame, some changes are in progress but...
who am i to surrender first ?




I wish you happy playing and god bless my friends !



Edit one day later... it is funny to get problem solving by wonders...
I had the bad idea, that Frodo and Sam could beat the Dark Lord down, and the game
is still great enough to play along, and the Orcs could beat Frodo and Sam down and
that would be a victory for Sauron anyways !
The ring is killed already, but Frodo and Sam are still the unit in the Events.txt to kill.
I didnt know how to kill units like "destroyacivilization" "destroyaunit" by locations or so...
[And i dont want to destroy Mordor and seventy cities, perhaps conquered "good cities"]
I did maprect and it seems like destroying the units onto this field... solving by wonders !

Now if Frodo and Sam beat the Dark Lord down by destroying Mount Doom, they are
killed by maprect and sent to grey havens by pop up...
And destroying Frodo and Sam by the Dark Lord... Mount Doom is killed by maprect.



Nice try.



Edit same day... how funny ! The last problem in my little mind was the partisans problem...
a conquered town might build partisans and ever the unit type 9... my unit type 9
was Mount Doom... ha. ha. ha. !
Should i negate the two tecs (o god my welldone tec tree !) or should i...

Changing Mount Doom with Orc Archer in every relevant way can be very difficult...
i had to redo 140 Mount Dooms in Orc Archers...

done.



Last edit third day... i saw the super Szenario by Catfish and i think, that cant be better anymore.
His units are great, and his terrains... defeated my old ones to be the new nrone.

Four things i can say about the ToT Szens i saw.
1) too bad... 2) too small and campaign like... 3) too complicated to not malfunction...
4) too great to play for only one empire...

The Szen by Catfish is a dream ! it isnt necessary anymore to build another.
Whatever. I took Catfishs terrains to get a nicer view, and the only things my Szen
can win into is... the great map and the "seven players playable CIV and real and warlike gameplay".

I have nice towns, a great map and its playable in all cases of CIV gaming...
My Szens are built to play a long and strategic game for max 7 players and with all chances to win or lose.
I dont wanted to build a Szen for Gondor only to rebuild by Events.txt a senseless cheater campaign.
I wanted to build a complete game playable in any ways.
Its a difficult way between the Story itself and a real CIV game to battle and seek.

The base idea was to create a map great enough to get enough strategic battleground
around Minas Tirith, and thats it. Mordors troops can deploy its armies onto the fields
around Osgiliath to attack the fields of Minas Tirith and that... is strategic enough.

I dont think my Szen of Mordor is too bad for a 2009 ToT Szenario and it includes its own greats.

Worked out and pleasures dust.





GERMAN AND ENGLISH SZEN "MORDOR" BY NICHEAL IN MAY/JUNE 2009
FOR THE OL´ TEST OF TIME


​

 

[Catfish]

I thought my little modding hobby is good enough for the last ToT player on earth

That person doesn't exist... yet. There are some people making ToT scenarios in the Scenario League forum at Apolyton - although there's not much activity in the scenario development threads by the looks of things.

Now. After playing the great, great, great, but small Szenario "Return of the King"

I'll have to disagree on that one. The graphics were great given the limitations of FW, but I found the gameplay lacking. I've played it twice: once a very long time ago and then again, a couple of years ago, to recall what it was I disliked about it the first time - since I was making my own LotR scenario. The first time I played it, I won in a canter. The second time I lost, not due so much to poor play on my part - I had not lost a single city - but because the Ring-bearer took a few wrong turns in the Emyn Muil/Dead Marshes maze and my time ran out. The military aspect had no bearing on the outcome of the game; it might as well have been purely a quest scenario.

Its in german...

That's going to limit your audience right there. The English translation in your last edit should help. You might have some more success in this forum: http://www.civforum.de/forumdisplay.php?f=4. Then again, it looks pretty lifeless as well.

Last edit third day... i saw the super Szenario by Catfish and i think, that cant be better anymore.

Quite true. To be honest, I've never been entirely satisfied with the thing - always seem to be battling with the limitations of the Civ2 engine. It's one of the reasons I kept walking away from it.

Four things i can say about the ToT Szens i saw.
1) too bad... 2) too small and campaign like... 3) too complicated to not malfunction...
4) too great to play for only one empire...

Which scenarios are you talking about? Too complicated? As far as the 4th point goes, I think the best single-player scenarios are the ones that are scripted for one tribe, or those that use multiple rules and events files for play with multiple tribes. That way the designer can better compensate for the game's poor AI and limited events space.

For more ToT scenarios, see the list of links here.

I dont wanted to build a Szen for Gondor only to rebuild by Events.txt a senseless cheater campaign.

Eh?

Its a poor little Szenario by a poor little human... and this is the poor little thread about it.

Bump your thread with new posts when you make updates. Don’t keep editing your opening post. People are more likely to notice.

Most Civ2 scenario threads are going to struggle for attention these days; after all, the game was released last decade.

A cursory glance at Mordor's files: you've got a lot of padding in that download. For what purpose is static.spr? The sprites look the same as the icons in units.bmp. There's also a folder containing all the extracted bitmaps from static.spr. Files (eg, city improvement graphics and sounds) replicated from the other ToT games (eg, Fantasy and Sci-Fi) could be replaced by a batch file installer that copies them over to your scenario directory. Do the same for replicated custom sound files. You should be able to shave a few MB off that download package.

 

[Nicheal]

Thank you very much for answering !




1
First i have to laugh a little... my poor home pc for oldies is 233 Mhz and two hard drives
1,3 GB, WIN 98 II...

If i create a Szen 30 MB all inclusive and welldone, rar 6,33 MB... that might work on a 80 GB or ?
My problem with the Sprites is, that i must use the Sprite Extractor. It includes .msk and
.bmp 10 per unit for 5 views. I have to copy my units from units.bmp to .spr and i dont
have another way to do...

and if you create the .spr, you cant extract the .spr anymore over 1 MB. That means i must
have a folder all inclusive.
CIV 2 older version needs the seven x nine block 63 units and takes it out of the .bmp
in the game same view. CIV 2 Test of Time needs the nine x nine block 81 units and takes
them for city view, the 1,3 MB .spr for view North, Northeast, East, Southeast, South,
.bmp x 5 and .msk x 5. I dont know other ways to do...

but you are right. The all inclusive folder isnt useful in the .rar...


2
Its hard and funny work to do ToT Szenarios cause i can create all worlds huge and
good enough to play warlike CIV games... the AI is too stupid to send the tanks right way but...
the limited events.txt can cheat enough killers...

I thought my units are good enough for having fun a little but i saw Catfishs ugly units,
and they are the greatest ever ! i saw Catfishs terrains and must say, out of that map buildings
i can create harmonic and nice things. Thank you for that !

I dont wanted to build a Szen for Gondor only to rebuild by Events.txt a senseless cheater campaign.

That means, that i dont want to build a Szenario for Gondor, for example, only...
that only cheats per Events.txt the journey, same as "Return of the King" by Favoured Flight, understood ?

His Szenario is great, cause his Mountains are great, his terrains are very nice, and his units too.
The first game i played was some days ago... i won the match easily, lost Pelargir,
defeated the stupid Nazgul near Linhir and ran stupid around... didnt know Clues and maprect,
but found Mount Doom...
the second game i lost cause ring-bearer went to death in the Emyn muil... terrain-unit killed him... nice surprise !
Then i played a last match and i understood all clues and handled them well.

But this Szenario taught me to use "Clue Units" to cheat Events.txt for journey, and not
only Mount Doom as target victory.
The "Unit-Mountains" and the "Clue Units" and his maprect by Events.txt are good examples
for better and advanced game play on my poor little ToT level.

And yes ! for sure ! is his Szenario played in five lonely minutes ! it includes ten cities or so...
and the most enemies of Mordor are cheated east banks Anduin !
But the examples for advanced game play are great to build out of this limited campaign
a great Szenario !


3
Success... success, i dont want to be too pessimistic (is that an english word ?), but
THIS case of success is not relevant to me.
You can pray to your senseless stupidities, or you can build your own faszinating worlds.
The most worlds i saw on this one (mother earth) are too strange to not being dead at all.

For example. I took your terrains to change my map building into a nicer view.
You made that better to me.
I took your units to create another Tolkiens Szenario... it might be much better than this one...
and even if my German Szenario "Mordor" wont be played, hu ? i am not god enough ?
The map is good enough to being taken and thats why this thread is born.

Anyways.


4
I saw the Szenarios on your list... but... one of my earliers is named "Alexander the Great", Test Szen,
and i had to conquer Sizilia like hell ! I dont like to play Szens on little maps.
The only chance to get a great and welldone game is to build two hundred and fourty cities
and seven great empires to get a hard battle.
The limited Events.txt and the dead AI, you said it ! could only being defeated by
strangers like hell !
I didnt even talker negotiation to Mordor in my Szen "Mordor" !
If you use the full size of possibility, you can do anything and you will playing fun like hell...
i played my "Alexander the Great" for three hundred rounds, fourth Test Game, Macedonians.
I had ten wars and a real bad war against the Greeks, Persia, the Carthagians and Rome one by another...
i had to battle tactical combat, won Nikaia and lost it against the Carthagians battling in the Pyrenäen, losing my Hoplit Guards.

And that was only a colony far away ! Then the Persians built Knights and indian allies,
elephants, came to babylon beating my offense, believe me, you can do good Szens !

You have enough values to give Mordor, for example, cheap Orcs and great production.
My Szenario includes seventy cities of Orcs and ten out of them are capital productions.
Using terrain for tactics, defense and offense you can create a powerful thing.

But its only Test of Time... i would play ! CIV IV ! but my money was lost in pain.


Thank you very very much for answering ! and for your great, great units and terrains !
If my map is needed... take it !


If the AI is stupid
and the limits are too well...
let the Dragon hit
and all the Damned ! burn like hell !





O yes ! i remembered ! you are the great Catfish, honestly ! and your batch for a nicer
ToT View, named i think civwinback or so, must be standard !
Thats really grand ! The best would be, this batch would being listed upon the whole
CIV 2 Forum, i think, for everyone and loud and clear.

[Catfish]

CIV 2 older version needs the seven x nine block 63 units and takes it out of the .bmp in the game same view. CIV 2 Test of Time needs the nine x nine block 81 units and takes them for city view, the 1,3 MB .spr for view North, Northeast, East, Southeast, South, .bmp x 5 and .msk x 5. I dont know other ways to do...

You're not actually using any of the other orientations or masks, so you don't need to include a static unit sprite file with the scenario. You only need to disable sprites to prevent the ones from the Original game from appearing. Basically what you need to do is described here; then all of the unit icons in the game will be drawn from units.bmp. Include the dummy resource.spr file to eliminate animated terrain problems. You've got other development files in the download; they can be removed as well.

I thought my units are good enough for having fun a little but i saw Catfishs ugly units, and they are the greatest ever ! i saw Catfishs terrains and must say, out of that map buildings i can create harmonic and nice things. Thank you for that !

No problem. You might also be interested in Fairline's excellent Lord of the Rings units (attached). That may fill a few gaps in your roster.

That means, that i dont want to build a Szenario for Gondor, for example, only... that only cheats per Events.txt the journey, same as "Return of the King" by Favoured Flight, understood ?

I think I get your drift: you don't want a tightly scripted, join-the-dots type of quest scenario. That's something I tried to avoid in mine; there are some key places certain heroes have to visit, but I've tried to keep the game as open as possible. Also, the Quest and the War are heavily integrated.

The only chance to get a great and welldone game is to build two hundred and fourty cities and seven great empires to get a hard battle.

That's a matter of personal taste. Some people prefer small maps and small empires. The AI actually works better on small maps with closely-spaced cities. Some people like to start out with a single city, with few units and technologies, and build from there.

...and your batch for a nicer ToT View, named i think civwinback or so, must be standard !

Glad to be of service. The rusted skin is what I use.

 

[Nicheal]

Wow. Thanx a lot !

To deactivate sprites is a good thing to make my little process much easier !

One hour ago i began to create based on your units (without Fairlines greats) a new sprite for "Mordor"...
Now i have done a new Units.bmp and sprite, and all the txts are translated.


1
About my "drift": Yes, you got it. I also wanted to avoid a too fixed szen.
I wanted to build a szen thats good for good old CIV gaming and after that, thats good for
playing Mordor and the Ring. Like you did, i think.

The Szens i saw on your list are too small, not in size of map, but in city placements.
For sure the AI gets "better rated" to find the next enemy... and in my Mordor Szen it
will find anything perhaps but... more cities=more power ! more terrain=more tactics !

Yes. To begin the Szen with one city is good old CIV gaming and i could do that !
But not in a Szen called Mordor. I dont want to fight Minas Morgul in the Mirkwood, you know...
If you look at my Szen Mordor, you will find it quite empty... you have, for example,
fourty cities Gondor ! but thirty are small crofts only without any production power.

You have near hundred units to fight with at the beginning, but Mordor will do enough
to handle that terrible and fast.
Nothings built in there ! No streets, no improvements except the capital productions,
you have no tecs, you cant build any units except warrior and archer, theres nothing done yet !

You have five Gondor Riders, for example, in Pelargir. But on the east banks of Anduin
there are three dark cities in South Ithilia, and they will destroy you soon and bad...


2
My thought was. Should i create a szen smaller and less cities ? They must have great
production to build many units fast, but... that might be one great fight and you will
1) have the thing done fast, or 2) never cause the defenders are too good.

You remember Favoured Flights "Return of the King" ? For sure its too weak to play !
But look at the unit values ! Even the Nazgul, or the Siege Tower cant beat Minas Tirith off !
I had three Archers in and thats it ! Make the Siege Tower two points stronger and you are dead at all !
Make the nazgul and the Troll two points stronger and you will lose everything !
The rest of the bad guys is done 2point2 offense defense and that isnt done well !

I created a second World War Szen and decided to make the tanks stronger in defense
than in offense, and what was the thing ?
They were frightened on their hills searching for cheap death !
You have to make the units stronger in offense to force every single enemy to attack,
and to force yourself to attack or die !

You might be the great graphics designer, but my work is the Szen Values...
that might be your problem !
My Szen works, and my terrains and units are sad... but units are such good their values are...
and every single graphic might look nice but work stupid if their values are sad...

I decided in my Szen Mordor, that i want to have capital productions for great armies,
AND lots of crofts getting tactic combats and lots of fun.


3
The tactic fields around Minas Tirith are the reason why i wanted to create such a great map,
the origin was only the Southeast of the whole map until i decided to create it full.
And the tactic fields around every single town are great enough to send great armies
out of the capital productions, and the crofts and weak towns around them are to seek and win.

For sure players might begin with only one city but thats the original gameplay about !
For sure the map must be smaller to getting the AI nervous and beating !

But thats only a question of productions and unit powers... i could do the AIs units such great,
you wont do any victory ! I did Mordors units cheaper, and Barad Dur greater, and my
Events.txt does the rest. Try to conquer Mordor !
It will laugh at.

The most Szens on your list are nice. A nice little map, very nice towns and units and welldone, but...

i said it in the last post... i had to conquer Sizilia like hell, and that means, i had to
plan it over thirty rounds, then my Hoplits and Archers and Catapults were ready in the whole empire to
travel to the small isle ! and i had to beat every single hill up !

Thats why i said... make your units expensive. You cant buy them and you must !
Plan your wars tactics and play the Szen highest difficult level and you will lose much...
make your units values hard to beat, and you will get a great and hard battle !


4
And that CIV gaming will get some nice Events.txts like Barbarian attacks... or active nazguls
by conquering Osgiliath by the Dark Lord... you have a huge Szen called Mordor, but that
is not the important ! but you have to attack one strong Mordor if you want to play it hard,
and you have to defend a weak and suffering Minas Tirith, and thats why i have done this !​

 

[Catfish]

You might be the great graphics designer, but my work is the Szen Values... that might be your problem !

I guarantee you, I spent more time on game mechanics than graphic design.

But thats only a question of productions and unit powers... i could do the AIs units such great, you wont do any victory ! I did Mordors units cheaper, and Barad Dur greater, and my Events.txt does the rest. Try to conquer Mordor ! It will laugh at.

It's very easy to set impossible odds. The hard part is achieving balance.

 

[Nicheal]

Yes, you are right for sure !

The balance is very important, but thats not a new thought.

Thats why i use your graphics and designes... lots of Szens for the Lord of the Ring are built,
but i am searching for the one... i use the best i can get to... get a nice ToT Szen.
Used the Fairlines graphics, used your terrains and used your ToT nicer view.

It might being possible to get out of all the graphics and Szens one Szen to beat them
one Szen to treat them
one Szen to get the fun mine !
in the game of CIV, called Test of Time.



You must see ! what i have done !
I finitely generated... the great look of Minas Tirith ! was searching and searching for a great look
for the white town of the Numenorians and finally generated it !

Another look of Mordor you perhaps saw on the English rar [Edit: Cancelled]. I am actually building
Harad and Rohan.
Took the Szen in that Forum god knows why... and now i can create the ultimative one for me...

For example. The Screenshot of your Szen shows Minas Tirith and Osgiliath, and Cair Andros.
Exactly that was my problem in another LOTR... its too small.
I want to travel Anduin, want to have Cair Andros a real isle, want to get Os and Giliath
for West and Eastbanks like i did.

Want to get tactic fields between Osgiliath Westbanks and the Pelennor... and tactic
fields between the Pelennor and Minas Tirith.
You will probably being defeated by the Orcish Armies, yes !
But the stupid AI... cant swim... it comes through Pelargir, attackes your southern provinces.
And you have enough tactic things and little units to hold on until the invisible Ring-bearers
find the path of Cirith Ungol upon the dark town of Minas Morgul, i hope so...

WHAT ?!? you spend even more time to the mechanics ? i thought your beta is lonely and sad...
and you surrendered to get the AIs stupidness well...
You spend even more time to the mechanics... and your graphics are heaven...
you might be in the seventh ?



Wait for the city symbols of Gondor ! its quite a piece of heaven too.

And thanx very much for your great hints sprites ! that works ! yes yes yes !







Edit 8. of June 09

I think the Szen is done... its never done but i am satisfied enough.

Catfish gave me lots of hints and graphics and i did it well to integrate.
Fairline did lots of great units and i also did it quite well to integrate.
Now my great map and my great empires have their peace in towns, created by me.

The fusion was great. The Szen "Mordor" is great to sit down and being in awe !

Thanxalot.



​

 

[Nicheal]

Hello dudes !


Now i can introduce my Szenario "Mordor" after one month hard work !


I played the Szenario "Lord of the Rings", out of Apolyton and one year ago i think.
Played the Szenario "Return of the King", by Favoured Flight, two weeks ago.
Played the Szenario "War of the Rings", by Catfish, one week ago.

And all these have one great failure. They are too fixed.

You can play Gondor only and the Events.txt cheats your paths to run or surrender.
I thought. But we got a great game called Test of Time ! great to play and great to modd !

I dont want to play Middle Earth too fixed and cheated in an overlimited way !
I want to play Middle Earth loving the view of Gondor, of Rohan, and yes, of Mordor too !

I dont want to play Minas Tirith on the westbanks Anduin like LOTR, or too small like WOTR.
I want to play Minas Tirith great on great battle grounds.


And thats what i did. Created a great map... hm... created two great maps Middle Earth and Underworld.
You will get great battle grounds for strategic simulation.

-Seven Empires playable
-Workers to found new cities and to build infrastructure by yourself
-The whole Tec Tree to research near hundred new technologies
-New Units to fight with
-Two unexplored great maps to conquer
-Improvements and wonders to build
-Expensive Units and Improvements to get a hard fight
-Diplomacy for free
-Further playable after Mordor or Gondor have won
-Playable like hell
-well balanced ToT strategic simulation

and and and


I tried to create a ToT game called "Mordor" for playing strategic CIV first and THEN
you have the option "Frodo and Sam"... and THEN you get the heros of Rohan, Gondor,
the Monsters of Mordor, Orthanc... i tried to create a ToT game first and THEN
The Lord of the Rings...

two great maps to have a nice view onto Middle Earth. Seven Empires to play them all,
to play everything, to play even the game was lost by losing Frodo and Sam...
to hell-play even being defeated by Hundreds of Orcs...
you can play everything...


and...


you have the option "Mordor.SCN" in english and german... and the option "Extended Version.SCN" in english and german...
including two maps for a great hell-play !

Have i forgotten some news ? yes i did ...


Have a nice one !





Ooo yes !

Thanx for the great Unit Graphics by Fairline
Thanx for the great Terrain and ToT Graphics by Catfish

and...

this Szenario is NOT created to win !
You might win for one day, but against this darkness there will be no victory !
I hope that getting Frodo and Sam into Mount Doom will be a rare luck

[kobayashi]

I played the Szenario "Lord of the Rings", out of Apolyton and one year ago i think.
Played the Szenario "Return of the King", by Favoured Flight, two weeks ago.
Played the Szenario "War of the Rings", by Catfish, one week ago.

And all these have one great failure. They are too fixed.

I assume Lord of the Rings out of Apolyton refer's to Harlan Thompson's classic.

I am officially disappointed Lord of the One Ring by kobayashi was not considered worthy of being mentioned as having the same failure .

 

[Nicheal]

Wow !

kobayashi in thread !

Ian Thompson in coc.apolyton.net, The Craddle of Civilization, my first contact with these things , near one year ago.

This Szenario inspired me to do my own... but... you cant get the Eagles AFTER destroying the one ring...
to lose against the Nazguls !

It was a nice try... but... too small, too fixed. I mean, ToT was released 99 or 00 or what,
and we as Fanatics have the great job to get the greatest Szens out of it, or ?
And thats possible !

Yes. The second Dinosaur i disappointed i think but thanx for your hint Lord of the one Ring by the great kobayashi.

Every single Tolkiens Szenario has its own specials and greats ! yours seems nice... partial
no, no, yours seems great... partial

Catfishs WOTR is great... partial too... but after ten years ToT and this game is OOOOOOOOOOOOLD ! and lonely you know !
There must be an angel sitting on my face... burning my brain off !
All these Szens are great... partial... but i want to play a fully loaded one !

In my mind all these Szens out of ToT are Fanatics Community ones... and... why not
available the one and only ? why thousands of "freaks" modding and modding... and...
after ten years, wheres the hitting one ?

Lord of the Rings, Ian Thompson
Return of the King, Favoured Flight
War of the Rings, Catfish
Lord of the one Ring, kobayashi perhaps


and now Mordor, nicheal... i just want to play the hitting one ! the strikers best !
This game ToT is dead for real, not to getting welldone Szens by us !
But i love this game, two reasons why.

I can modd everything. Read a cheap and really bad book, make a great Szen out of it

I can play four maps SciFi Game to beat me really off. It must being possible to create the ultimative one but thanx for your official advice !




​

 

[Catfish]

I am officially disappointed Lord of the One Ring by kobayashi was not considered worthy of being mentioned as having the same failure .

I should've given it away years ago.

 

[Nicheal]

This is a thread in "Scenario Creation" ... Catfishs help was great, but i could need some more.



Failures in Szen please insert here !

The newest Version 18-6-09 available for needs. Sorry that "Mordor" is still in progress... but...
i cant find all the failures yesterday


@kobayashi
downloaded your Szen, and thought "how disappointing" !!! should i play such ?
some greats in, but some sadness too... not your best piece of all pieces

@Catfish
Thanx a lot for your helps... your Szen is still the best


@Me
I had a totally crazy idea to create another...
Please insert here failures and hints !






Game Report

The greatest ToT Szen i have ever played was "Alexander the Great" by me...
played three hundred turns and one huge war against the whole ancient world.

The english word the Internet-Translater gave me for that is "to dote on something"...
this Szen was one huge combat in wich i had to plan everything. That i try to create in "Mordor" too.

Yesterday i played a game and it was... nice... but... i won by destroying the one ring.
The most heros, Legolas, Gimli, Boromir, Theoden, Theodred, Eomer, dead,
Gandalf the Grey killed by Catapult near Giliath, Elessar killed near... Fangorn...
but in Cease-Fire i got Frodo and Sam to Mount Doom...

Cease-Fire ! talker negotiation, end of that.

Minas Tirith was hardly sieged, Pelargir, Lebennin, Linhir, Cair Andros, were done.
The annoying thing was, that every Orc Archer and every Troll, and every War Elephant
was attacking Minas Tirith, but not the catapults ! one catapult every third turn... Tirith laughs at !
Then Frodo and Sam destroyed the one ring.

That will not happen twice

The Events.txt is the beast of a beast now. Version 20-6-09 available for needs, ooo yes !
Moria was great ! and its better to play 40 turns exciting hells than a too fixed cheater campaign i think... and...

i got my own title.gif...




​

 

[Nicheal]

Hello dudes !



Version 2.0 available for needs.

Nearly non-tested cause of seven new Events.txt for all the Empires.
But the Orcs.txt works. Now you can play Sauron the Dark and Great
and all the other Empires quite well [and very busy].

I will shoot some screenshots next time, and the 3.0 in a few days/weeks/month
will probably being allright. But the hardest works ive done at all,
and now the V2.0 is done. Testplayers insert here failures and problems !

Or insert laudation for needs...

Have a nice one




Hey Guys !
Could the three Downloaders of the Beta insert here failures and bads ?
Would be nice ! You other Guys dont need any Screenshots.
This game is hot and the best available one. Believe me !

I dont know what is wanted, older style or ToT greater style and i cant
know it if it isnt told to me and i cant find all the failures by myself.
The game is too great done to play every single Empire.

Sorry. Should i blame myself for welldone worx ?
Bad german guy !
Bad one ! and ugly one ! Bad bad bad !

O thats really great, you little guys !

I had the ugly and bad hope to insert here my ugly and bad Scenario that the last
ToT Guys on Earth would talk to me about.

But we are all only ghosts to whispering deepness and deaths, it seems like.
You want to create a welldone Scenario and you want to oversend it to the greatest CIV
Fansite ? Okay and it seems allright.

You are honest to talk about, but you must talk sweet about the other guys, so that they
arent "disappointed". It is not my failure that others are weak. In Scenario Building
and being alive.

O how funny. A Newbee disappointed the Dragon Five. Its like "The Simpsons".
Where the Elefant kills the mouse. Elefants arent shy.
I heard a guy saying, o i have nearly 500 CIV Scenarios onboard, pa !
nearly 400 will be the badest stuff. What i have seen is stupid i say !

You fourty years old Deity Players had ten years time to create welldone stuff, and
what is that ugly dying ?
You cant even play this russian roulette !

Ooo, this community wants to play CIV II like poor old stuff and out of savegames
create a Deity hall of fame... hall of fame ?!?

Ghosts whispering, o my roman empire good old CIV II. You dont getting any answers,
and every single guy is flying around like a LSD bee.
I disappointed Catfish being honest saying ooo, you had the honour to create a
Lord of the Rings Scenario for Test of Time ? Wow.
Ten years after that you oversend a halfdone boring beta saying "The AI is too weak
and the events.txt is too short and i have done my best" ten old years and a game
in which you have the honour to hold on doing boring action.

And o yes ! I forgot to say: The best available Lord of the Rings Scenario !!! Wow.
Ten years old Scenarios like Kobayashis... Revolutions after Revolutions !
Did it ten years ago, but now the newest Version ! Seems like twenty.
And o yes ! The .exe for events.txts, how bad that this stuff dont works at all !
Great games ! to malfunction at all !
Hey, i did yesterday
-the describe
-one correcture in events.txt to the Version 8.218192810928109 [...]
hahaha ! what is that "describe" the rules.txt is sad ?
hahaha ! one correcture in events.txt ? notice that i dont notice all that ! thats worx for usual
and i am doing such stuff in whole progress regularly.

But i as a Newbee have done an ugly ugly Scenario called "Mordor", o how stupid !
That i made it like i did, o how stupid ! That after ten years i hoped to get a welldone,
and to get good answers for, in the last community for.
Thanx i must say !
Fairline did great units for creating great Scenarios at least, but hey ! what weve got here is
one thousand patchwork done malfunctions.

Is it my fault to create a welldone Scenario ? To want to hear about my own failures ?
Great community !
Catfish redoes the Scenarios to ToT, but i cant even play that stuff !
Fairline is hidden, and a lonesome Newbee like me must eat fog and die !

Wanted to insert my "Alexander the Great" for playing, but ghosts arent playing anything.
My dear friends ! Good old die by dying. German invention.

OMG Nicheal, are you on drugs? If not then you probably need to be! You scare me!!!

 

[Nicheal]

Yeah, i knew that my words are screeching at all.
Just a little bit sad and bitterly disappointed. Catfish gave me great hints for better
terrain and unit graphics for my stupid little CIV 2 Thing.
And after a few weeks hard worx nothing came along... frustrating, i am sorry.

Drugs ? Yes, we all are. Every single Crash in medium and every single screech in world
takes you on and off. Me a little bit more.

I know that my words are disgusting ! but my brain is thinking thousands of failures
what i did wrong to not get anything about my crazy and bad game.
I know that its only a CIV 2 Thing, but its fun and i hoped to get some hints and friends
to talk about it. Since Catfish is gone, everyone seems gone. And its sad to see.

If my little screecheys are scaring you, all that scares me every day.
You do not getting friends n hints in a forum, wich is used to be your friend at all.
If we in medium arent human, arent proud and brave to, we as human arent anything.
Whats as silly in medium, is greater scar in real life. Freaks eating fog at all.

You know ? And i rather scare you, than being defeated by the doom of dying mankind.
Haha ! Look at my Scenario "Mordor".
I AM a totally crazy (and dying) Genius...

I didnt join this forum to getting silence. My Scenario creating and playing i can even alone. And i dont gaga around
a few month to seeing what i saw at the first two weeks. Thats nothing in.
Yeah i rather could being naked running through Mordor.

1)
Perhaps all the Scenario Modders, thats my thoughts, are using only their own graphics etc
and i used Catfishs Terrains and Fairlines Units and thats not "allowed" or so...

My Philosophy is, that a ten years old game like ToT has thousands of patchwork done
Graphics and Scenarios wich arent used anymore. The Fairlines Graphics arent used
and the most Scenarios arent welldone, i must say.
For example. Downloaded Kobayashis "Lord of the one Ring", and some units had the wrong
background colour ! background was yellow. Must this ugly failure really be ?

The Philosophy of Modders perhaps is, to do their own complete... thats not my Philosophy.
After ten years thousands of patchwork done Things for CIV 2 arent even used...
and i want to create a Scenario out of the best Things to get the game for real.
Want to play a great game like a "Test of Time Scenario Special", i call it "ToT S".
After ten years i want to use the greatest Things i can use for creating the greatest Scen i can do.

If this Philosophy is not okay for you, work on your lonesome and nonperfect patchworks !
No one will use these Graphics and Scenarios. The Graphics are for CIV 2 only, and the Scens
are too bad patchwork nonperfects by the great Tribe of the Egomans.
No one will use these Fairline Graphics ! except us ! and no one will play ToT and its Scenarios,
are the new Scenarios bad. I want to create a Revolution, so that ToT is played now as a great new Thing.

In my mind its silly to produce ego-limited patchworks. If we dont getting welldones, nobody will.
Thats my Philosophy. I mean, i didnt create ToT... and i cant create better Units than Fairlines ! I do what i can.


2)
I didnt play "Mordor" as "Sauron", but its possible to. Seven Events.txt are created to paste them manual.
That seems the best way to not malfunction that for you. And a Freak can do it anyway.
Every single Events.txt has its own beast. And to play Sauron is working well, i presume.
For sure nobody will enter Mount Doom, Sauron is too strong, but i created Clues called "Dooms" wich you must find
and defend. If one single Doom is defeated by the Enemies, Sauron is defeated. Nice idea and working well.
I would like to get Test Players for that Thing.


3)
Perhaps while playing "Denethor" with normal or gondorish Events.txt you will find out, that you cant
defend all your crofts.
I created the game strong offenses. You can capture Mordors Cities (some smalls), you must beat Mordors Units by offenses,
but you cant defend all your crofts, and you shouldnt do these things too much.
Dont wonder ! that you are losing and losing !
You can do very much, but you should do it quite well. You cant defend everything, and you cant kill everything.
You must defend your capitals and do what you can.
Dont wonder that Mordor kicks your ass quite busy ! Pussys shouldnt play that, wäää mom, Mordor captured some cities !
Understood ? Defend what you can, but you cant defend everything !


4)
I was right, McMonkey, hu ? Saying OMG, but nothing else... perhaps i was right, hu ?
And perhaps my Scen beated you bad... its created for, i am sorry at all.


yo burna !
