Star Wars: A New Mod

[Bluemofia]

the gallactic alliance is the new republic and the imperial remant allied togeater to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong.

Since there's something wrong with the server upload feature, I will attach the Heavy Clone attack anim that I finished a while back. Pleb said he should be able to finish it.

Here it is.

Phant, yes the GFFA and the NR are essentially the same, but the NR was horrible against the Vong, while the GFFA actually had a chance.

Otherwise I listed it because I'm trying to make 32 Civs, which is quite hard, so the GFFA actually goes a long way towards that

Jobiwan and subbss, Civilization lets you play Persia against America, so what I'm trying to do with the EU isn't really all that far-fetched, the SW universe just suffers from a lack of viable factions to turn into Civilizations. I didn't think the multiple Empires and Republics would really be a problem, since you can pick you who fight against, and besides, all the Civs I have listed could be used in scenarios

Just so you know, The Clone Wars BETA v0.40 will be released tonight, but without two of the three units I had hoped to be in this release. There are still problems with the two new basic bomber units I had planed for this release, so they will be released seperately, when I fix the problem. The major new addition to this download, will be the intergration of the tech tree. However, the actual scenario with the galactic map has yet to be updated, so that will also be missing from this release, are there are several issues with it that need to be addressed.

 

[jobiwan7]

I have a small Star Wars sound library on my computer now, so I thought I'd post some of my sounds here, if any unit makers would like to use them.

First, Lasers.

I post more later.

Also, I have a new idea for the mod! Does anyone else think it would be a good idea to use mines? They could be placed in space around the planet, delaying and damaging the enemy fleet. What do you think?

This has been proposed several times before. I do think it is a good idea but it is very difficult.......
One way is to make an invisible princess unit so a military unit has to load it and drop it off outside the city. The unit will be immovable so it cannot move and will have no attack but a high defense like 7-12 or something.

 

[jobiwan7]

I suppose we could give it the airdrop ability. Then we could either give it high defense or give it low defense but high defensive bombard strength. The last one might work.

 

[SheepMonster]

in order to have space platforms, or mines or whatever, you could always engineer it so that they have one move per turn (as they arent particulary fast) and sink in sea/ocean - this would mean that they do not float away and go and fight your wars for you or whatever.....just a thought.

 

[jobiwan7]

Okay, the mines might not work, but I have a new idea.

We could use superlasers for nukes! Here's my idea for what the animations would be:

1.) Launch=Death Star soars into the air

2.) Flight/Fall=beams come to center/giant laser blast aimed toward the ground

We could probably use the same explosion.

How does that sound?

 

[subbss]

But nuke units die when they are used and the Death Star should not be dead after using it's weapon.

BTW, I just noticed that there are three people who voted against the continuation of this mod! That is hoorible, and I wish I knew who those people were so I could yell at them.

 

[Pleb]

Everything is fair, subbss. When I created this poll, if there had been more people voting against the continuation of this mod, I'd have decided to quit and pass the project on to someone else.

In other news, expect an Alpha release of The Galactic Civil War sometime in the next two weeks.

How are those?

 

[Pleb]

Not bad, though I know some of those are chris's ideas. I do read the forums you know...

 

[jobiwan7]

Yes, but I thought the discussion could be moved here too.

 

[jobiwan7]

But nuke units die when they are used and the Death Star should not be dead after using it's weapon.

I think it would work anyway. That way, superlaser attacks would be rare, as it would be very expensive.

 

[SheepMonster]

Some of the wonder ideas you gave us wouldnt work tho.......the Rebellion for instance are completely against the Tarkin Doctrine, the Empire would never declare themselves a rebellian........most of em are good ideas tho...

A bumper issue for everyone tonight. As some of you may know, the site has been having bandwidth problems with the many people that visit it each day to download the mod. Also, downloading the mod has upset the bandwidth, and we are using far too much of it a month. So, I have created another 100 MB website account, just to use as download space for the mod. And, the first files being uploaded to this location are not only a new release of The Clone Wars, but also the first public beta of The Galactic Civil War. Everything should be running within the hour. Let's hope it was all worth the wait...

 

[jobiwan7]

@Pleb: Let's hope what you've done works out. I hope this bandwidth problem is resolved soon.

@Sheep Monster: In normal Civ, would the Vikings build the Pyramids? I think Wonders like that would still work.

 

[SheepMonster]

Good point jobiwan7.....i didnt think of it like that...ok, im converted.
