Star Wars: The Mod Strikes Back

[odintheking]

Ohhhhh.... Well, I don't read the books of stuff, but if it's anywhere, it would probably be here: http://www.starwars.com/databank, and yes, we will need granaries, etc. From what I see from Chris's list, it's the same building structure, but new names and looks.

 

[mrkingkong]

Apologies. Didnt see the list ( ). Must be going a bit blind in my old age. Anyhoo il get to work. Bare in mind it wil only be a very rough draft at first (feel free to make improvements/additions, in fact im begging you to )

List here soon...

cheers,
the monkey man

Basically, what I was planning on doing with the Buildings and Wonders was to keep it similar to the original Civ3 to keep balance although it will have its fair share of differences.

@mrkingkong - You can find lots of info on resources and such here --> http://www.theforce.net/swenc/ . Go to the Resources and Technologies catagories.

Hey all,

I got some help from muffins, and here is what the V-19 looks like now.

I'm hoping to do an entire Episode III line for the Republic and the Confederacy. This first unit will help cement things for me, and in the future I'll get units out faster

 

[odintheking]

Wow! That looks awesome! If you keep on pumping out units this good, we'll have an A-grade mod in no time,

 

[John_Deere]

Are you guys including Episode III in this?

Good Work...Keep it Up!

 

[odintheking]

Yep, we are including aspects from every movie,

 

[Graadiapolistan]

When will a playable version o fthis mod be finished?

 

[Olorin0222]

It will be awhile. We are working on a tech tree right now, and bouncing other ideas around as well. We still have a ton of units as well that need done.

 

[mrkingkong]

Guys update on the tech tree. Going well so far about 3/4 done. Obviously would need alot of work, and im not happy with some of the units and techs, but im sure y'all will hep me!

To give you a taster, its split into Military, Economic, Domestic and Special pathways; 5 advances for each per era; 4 eras in the game (obvious ones).

Next time im on ill upload the list, might not be 4 a few days though

Kepp working

cheers,
mrkingkong

PS.Thanks for the interest from John_Deere and Graadiapolistan

@olorin Looking fantastic pal!

 

[odintheking]

Ok, good luck with the unit and the tech tree. Unfortunately, we lost Kinboat's lottery, but aaglo is having one, and we should do the same request there,

 

[mrkingkong]

Ok heres the list, split into the four eras.

Unfortunately i had trouble fitting the units in, and my lists that i came up with (i did repeats) were equally hopeless, so im afraid the untis are missing. There is a simple reason- i dont know what some units are, or what their technology is. I thought perhaps we could do it as a group, or someone could come up with an updated version with untis and everything.

I expect holes to be in my tech tree, so pick away and together we can improve it. Also if it is totally insatisfactory, dont hesitate in telling me and/or making a new one

The list i used was chris85's unit and wonder/improvement list. The units i have some ideas, but those which i have would require the use of either making a hell of a lot more unit graphics, or using the same graphics for multiple units.

Anyways enough chit chat. Here it is (dont be too harsh, its my first attempt... but dont settle for rubbish either). If you have any queries dont hesitate to ask me and i will explain them.

cheers,
mrkingkong

 

[Chris85]

I know making Tech Trees is a b!tch because if you mess up a little bit it can screw up the balance of the whole game. I'll check it out in a little bit.

In Aaglo's lottery I think we should request the Magna Guard, those are Grievous' Bodyguard Droids.

 

[mrkingkong]

Is there a link to this lottery-i cant find it! Im going to request that chris- unless i get another telling off by goldflash!


EDIT: Chris a random question- how do i get the links so they actually work in my signature?

 

[Chris85]

I thnik it's called "Aaglo's Request Lottery (June 22, 2005)" it should be near the top.

The best way to get links to work in your signature:

*Start making a post
*Push the "insert hyperlink button"
*The put what page you want to link to in box
*Then cut&paste the hyperlink into your signature

 

[Chris85]

Now, I need some help. I only have Microsoft Word 7.0 (damn primitive machine) and I can't see those tech tree documents properly.

I can see what the techs are but there's a bunch of boxes and characters in between. MrKingKong or somebody else can you please upload them in like a Notepad .txt document or make the tech tree in Paint or another image format.

 

[SheepMonster]

I don't know how many of you took a look, but on the original mod that pleb released there was a more generic tech tree - much smaller, but less.... straight. Would it be possible to put up the more generic techs, as opposed to just being set out in straight lines...
-If the techs were more available for all the civs, such as 'blasters' and 'turbolasers' as opposed to geonosian techs only, it would make the tree more useful for a multi-cultural galaxy... for instance, if the empire learned to make more clones, they would not have lost to the Rebellion - its only because Kamino was destroyed somehow (i read somewhere it was) that the clone production stopped, and regular stormies were trained...
-Holocams and holonet wouldnt work without comlink technology... perhaps comlinks should be moved to slightly earlier...
-There have been droids for ages, so perhaps droids cn be something else in the forging of the Republic age, and 'droids' can be changed to ''battledroids'
-Its possible to get heavy ion cannons before ion cannons....
-Without any intergalactic trade, bacta would not be available to the rest of the galaxy - it is only produced on Thyferra and its neighbouring satellites.

Other than that its alright...

 

[Varlin Saliptor]

If yall don't mind, I am going to start on the finding of graphics for the military part of the first era Icons right now, and any that will be used can be assigned to the actual techs later.

 

[Varlin Saliptor]

Okay, I have all of the military Era one techs done, except ascension. What exactly does 'ascension' refer to in the tech tree? Ascension of what?

 

[mrkingkong]

@ Varlin - I took ascension as like ascension guns, those things that Naboo Guards put on their guns which shoot out onto an object and pull them up...like those grapple things james bond uses.

@sheepmonster- thanks for that.The main reason i got it a bit wrong was, frankly, that i didnt have a clue about most of when ion cannons came in relation to heavy ones- naturally i presumed that the lighter variant came first!

Also, i was inspired by the Pentagenesis system of having lines of particular topics, eg Military, Economic, etc. It would of course be possible for me to change it but it risks making further mistakes. What would your suggestions be? With regards to units aswell, because i had definate trouble with them. I can have another bash at it if you want?

@chris - going to do an internet version, but it might be difficult to see what techs follow which...il have a go though...

@anyone else- any comments/suggestions?

cheers,
mrkingkong
