Ukrainian Conflict - New scenario project - Dev Thread

move cities next to each other in order to create multi-tile cities. (...). I wonder if it's perhaps something that Lua could do?

Very easy to do either with the console or dynamically once in game.

One could even have nomad cities move on the map .
I guess that can create issues with "worked tiles" howether.

which I haven't bothered to repeat. I wonder if it's perhaps something that Lua could do?

Sure can and a lot easier than hex editing (most of the issues that required hex editing are an easy fix these days. So if one ever decides to add another unit with native transport after breaking ground, it's all of a line I believe in a lua file to remedy. (Not to contribute to the hijack but who knows, perhaps one of the major siege cities of this conflict could benefit from the technique).

Hi, so how is the scenario coming along?
You know there is an old Civ3 scenario from 2014 simulating the Russia Ukraine war... Actually the Donbass-Crimea war.
It is definitely not good, not nearly as ambitious as your project, but it is playable... Gives the satisfaction of playing this war out if you are so inclined, you know?
Apparently there's another, for Civ4. But I never played Civ4 personally, so...

I took a screenshot of the city of Baghdad from my old unfinished scenario. As you can see, it consists of 5 cities hex-edited to be adjacent.

Where are the scenario files at? Or did Sedna never finish this scenario?

Looks like he bailed on it.

Looks like he bailed on it.

Well, it is a project, admittedly, like you said years ago on Apolyton, about my (then current) Iraq Invasion and Uprisings scenario, "very ambitious, and very difficult."

I originally met him on the Civ2 discord so I've tagged him there to see if I can lure him back.. but yeah.. not looking good.. it's been a year and in the end he was only here for a month lol!

In fact, the author's position is very reasonable: not to rush the release, but to wait for the official end of the conflict.

The fog of war will settle, and the overall picture of events will become clear. In 2022, the military role of FPV drones was zero. Now - they are the basis of tactics for both sides. Mercenary uprising in 2023, North Koreans in 2024. Trump in 2025.

Or maybe there will be a nuclear version of the cute little tractor with the letter Z, which JPetroski wanted to add as a humorous unit:

Is that in fact the author's position? Based on what?
