The Old Empires

[Sarevok]

Yeah, why?????

Why?

The reason why is a long one, and it somewhat goes with my nature but it is also for other specific reasons.

I make scenarios here becasue I enjoy making things and doing them well. The thing is, only until I began posting scenarios in December of 2002 (when I first arrived on the forum) did I actually share these maps with others. I have countless self-made maps from other games that I would play myself. I have no obligation to post any of my maps here, and I am perfectly able to cease whenever I choose.

But that is not the reason, im not going to pack my bags and leave CFC. Im not done yet, but I have no Idea what I will do next. In reality, I had decided against making TOEWW2 well over 2 weeks ago. Where I would go from thereI did not know. I realized that TOEWW2 would be a massive scenario about a topic that is dying and weakining day by day. Only me and Rocoteh truly post anything about the scenario here, and its seems more like bumping sometimes than actuall thoughtful posting. The real scenario of this thread hasnt been posted about probably for the last 50 pages. This is a direct indication to me, this topic is dead.

With that in mind, I have no intention of making a scenario that will be dead form the start. I have decided instead to make a different kind of scenairo, when in reality I have 3 choices. Im going to put up a poll in the C&C forum after this post asking what new scenario I should make. I hope that you will post there to give me an insight.

Sarevok,

As said in another thread I think you shall now go for
WW2-Global.
I understand that you cancel TOE WW2. Alternate history
is not easy to get interest for.
My estimate is still that at least 50% of possible players
lose interest when they see that an scenario is alternate history.

That is another reason why I have scrapped this project. Everyone please see the poll I have put up in the C&C forum.

Sarevok,

I'm really sorry but I understand your point.

 

[Sarevok]

Sarevok,

I'm really sorry but I understand your point.

Kind of a tough decision, but it had to be done.

 

[Rocoteh]

Again though:

TOE is not dead.
Many hours of playtest and development continues
to go into the WWI-Global project.

Sarevok,

I'm really sorry but I understand your point.

I can only agree, with Metacomet. But I do understand your reasoning. I hope, though, that you can transfer some of the work you have already done to the new scenario (which would mean a WW2 Global as Rocoteh suggested).

Great to hear that! I do believe that it will be worth waiting for this scenario!!

CellKu

CellKU,

Thank you.
Yes, this scenario looks very good!
There is more custom units to add, and more
playtesting to do, but again it looks very good.

Rocoteh

 

[CellKu]

Rocoteh,
how many custom units do you have so far? Do you use different infantry etc. units for the different civs?

The thread is not dead, the scenario itself (TOE) is dead.

CellKu

CellKu,

So far 25 custom units, but there are many to add.
Yes I will use different infantry for the civs, both during
WWI period and WWII period.
I will use different custom units instead of the Firaxis Battleship.
The "King Tiger" will represent SS Panzer Division.
(This is "what if" since most "King Tigers" was used in
independent Battalions.)
After playtesting I have decided that civs will not be
permitted to trade Techs, since it makes Tech-development
run to fast.
Wespe and M7 Priest will be powerful Mobile Artillery.

The "Fast version" though is still alive.
Downloaded 661 times (at least) and still counting.

Rocoteh

That sounds very promising!!
How do you deal with motorized/artillery supported infantry? Will that be an infantry unit or an artillery or motorized unit?

CellKu,

Thank you,

Germany will have The Panzergrenadier Division (SdKfz250 graphic).
Russia will probably have a tank-graphic, since their mechanized
units had more tanks than the tank units.
USA and Great Britain will have infantry-graphics.
Since all US and British Infantry Divisions was motorized
they will have move 2, but no blitz.
Germanys and Russias Mechanized Divisions will have move 2
and blitz.
There are also a German Marder 2 unit to represent Germanys
Tank-Destroyer units. It will have stealth against all tank units.
Naval system will be the new system to be used in TGW-DIV 1.2a.

[Sarevok]

That is an excellent graphic to use Rocoteh. It is already in WW2G.

Yes I agree.
Who have made this graphic? Is it Ripptide?

Rocoteh

 

[Sarevok]

I beleive it was his.

 

[Sarevok]

I beleive it was his.

Actually, it was his. I have it in use for the WW2G map. Despite Rennaissance europe winning the poll I will not scrap that scenario map and may make it eventually. The hard work of TOEWW2 will not be scrapped but remade into a new scenario that will have far more people interested that an alternate history scenario.

BTW, ive just noticed I have over 1000 posts in this thread...

I think that is very good decision!
It would have been sad if all the work you
have done had been wasted.
