v.0.1 ALPHA: The Song of the Moon: the first Civ TOTAL CONVERSION!

[Kael]

Congrats! It looks great!

 

[Golf3r]

Yes, I am

-also, it can be spelled both ways according to dictionary.com. It just looks funny because I am not used to it.

 

[woodelf]

Don't worry Golf3r I tried to Americanize the spelling whenever possible.

 

[matthewv]

Are you guys managing to get the mod to work?

 

[JBG]

Oh, yes. What is the nature of the crash? It's most certainly not a problem my end.

 

[Civmansam]

Wow fantastic job
This is a really missed mod because there have been only fantasy mods and no sci-fi mods

Great job

 

[Silica_Pathways]

Some unit and city graphics look silly, but otherwise nice mod, i'll try it asap

 

[JBG]

It's hard to alter unit and city graphics as we can only re-skin for the moment. The moment we can create new game models all bets will be off!

 

[woodelf]

Yeah, fall in love with the terrain, the resources, the improvements, the idea, and the tech tree )). Leave the units and buildings for a post SDK time.

 

[Silica_Pathways]

There's no civ description. How can i play some civ if i dunno their history, who are they, etc... I can only try to guess nationalities by leader names. *sighs*

*edit* At least i found leader background, now i'll have more info

 

[JBG]

The idea is to play whomsoever you like the sound of! Civ descriptions are coming shortly.

The five space agencies are designed to represent (roughly) the whole of Earth:
NASA: America
ESA: Europe, Russia
CSA: Britain, Canada, India, Australia, NZ, South Africa, other Commonwealth countries
ASEC: Japan, China, Thailand, Korea, Laos, Viet Nam, Cambodia
ISA: South America, Middle East, Indonesia, elsewhere.

The other civs either represent multinational corporations or independent coalitions of colonists drawn from everywhere.

Does this help?

 

[RED DIAMOND]

Just to point out, colonisation is spelled coloni"z"ation.

-BTW nice work

Hmm, showing some youth and the quality of our school system.

Begin Education
============
Most english speaking "Non-Americans" use "s" instead of "z" and sometimes "c". For instance in canadian football you will see Offence instead of Offense. There are others but I think you get the point.

End Education
==========

 

[woodelf]

You should have forced people to read the Lunar bible before playing JBG!

 

[JBG]

Webster, in his drive to simplimify [sic] the English language, mutliated it somewhat to sound more phonetic, losing many of the English English spellings along the way.

For example
"Defense" = Defence
"-ization" = -isation

Note, however, that in English English, there are two ways of spelling "practice" or "practise". Just like "advice" and "advise", one is the verb and one is the noun. I advise you; I give you advice. I practise dentistry at the High Street Dental Practice.

 

[New Sun]

This thread contains both entertainment AND education! Three snaps in a "z" formation!

How very appropriate!

 

[Silica_Pathways]

Played a bit with that civ that has great cultural traits, but was thrown out to desktop after some time with no apparent reason. No new tech was researched, no new thing constructed, maybe i discovered sth with my scout that caused ctd, dunno...

 

[JBG]

Which civ?

I have never had that problem before. Were you *about* to build/finish research something?

 

[GeoModder]

Or were you perhaps highlighting your nick in the bottom right of the screen?

 

[Civmansam]

I got the same bug as crash.
I don't know why
