Where are they now? mod projects of past & present

[DJ Bonebraker]

if i had the time, which unfortunately i don't, i'd assemble everything together and weed out all of the non-serious stuff and just start making it (map, civs, units, etc).

i would also frame it so that it would be along the lines of the epic game w/ no alterations to the tech tree. a few resources or wonders wouldn't hurt but to keep it 'simple', at least at first, would probably be the easiest way to go.

You and me both. If I wasn't in the middle of doing both my FF mod AND helping out with units and stuff for the Steampunk mod, I could also compile the data gathered thus far.... (except for the map, I don't have enough experience making maps for Civ III to be comfortable with doing that).

 

[Goldflash]

Another one that dissapeared.. the 31 Other Civilizations Mod...

 

[El Justo]

You could offer some help with my own mod, about the peloponnesian war. It isnt very easy to make a scen with 31 nations all alone!

i've done 2 of 'em w/ 31 civs (Age of Imperialism Deluxe and The Cold War--->not released yet).

you're right. it's a ton of work for 31 civs; especially if you have UU's all over the place

is there something i could help you with? i mean, i can always give you pointers, etc.

btw, i like your maps...

true dat.

IIRC, RedAlert has taken the lead on the thing and was doing quite well until he seemed to get inundated w/ all of the silly requests, etc.

i wonder if he'd be willing to resume it based on our "ground rules"?

The Forgotten War: Korea; 1950-1953

The Forgotten War: Korea; 1950-1953

Actually I was working on that the other day

 

[El Justo]

okay...keep working then ;-)

Ty Well the things that arent done in my mod are:

-all of the civilopedia texts (ie for the 19 units, and for some wonders)
-unit stats (although i have done some)
-some leaders

I am still working on the cities, and also expect redalert to amke some spartan cities...

 

[El Justo]

-all of the civilopedia texts (ie for the 19 units, and for some wonders)

wikipedia.com works nicely for this (C&P)

-unit stats (although i have done some)

that's trial and error alot of the times.

-some leaders

finding their names? or gfx? if it's the names then wikipedia may have it.

 

[CivArmy s. 1994]

Here comes my feedback:

- American Continent Mod (just civis from Americans): available to download in few days.

- CivArmy Mod (my first 31 civilizations): all the civis are ready, wonders too, just missing few units. Oh, I have to do a new tech tree too.

- Brazilian Mod (mod that uses regions of my nation like real civis): just need 4 new LH, do some new untis (7 or 8) and produce 20 Brazilian wonders. Maybe I use the same tech tree of ACM in this case.

- CivArmy vs. R8FXT, battle of creators (8 civis mines + 8 civis his): the civis are ready and I just need found few units.

- When I finish these olds I can start expansion packs and new projects

What happened to Space Armada? I was really looking forward to this one.

 

[WildWeazel]

SM hasn't quite deserted Space Armada- his C3C disc broke so he's only making units for WH now, and vbraun and a few others are making Space Armada units. After WH is released, we *should* see Space Armada come back to life

preview threads for mods and scenarios generally suggest that they will never get completed.

why is this?

El Justo, just in case you missed it, I have completed the WOTW mod and it had a preview on cfc. Also the Fallout mod is being worked on by the crew. So that will be also finished. Guess i am batting a 1000. i must be the exception to the rule of most mods that post previews do not get completed.

[Straczynski]

Hey, how come nobody remembered StrOMod?

to those to who actually finish the projects. no doubt.

preview/plug threads are great; especially just prior to the release.

however, it's extremely difficult for a mod/scenario to get finished by more than 2 cfc'ers. clashes in ideas/application/direction seem to derail good ideas.

by no means am i knocking anyone who opens such threads but the reality is that most of the time, these threads become buried in the C&C forum.

 

[shortej]

Not sure if this thread is supposed to extend to scenarios, but I was looking forward to the "USA loses the Cold War" scenario...
