Work in Progress - Super Civ Scenario

[Takhisis]

Yeah, well, understanding the leed them Septic people talk be difficult.

 

[KingArthur]

A couple of improvements are worth a mention.

I've ditched the locked wars as they didn't play out as well as I would have liked. A big reason being the loss of Diplomacy Dialog. It isn't as much fun if you can't initiate dialog with the bad guys and hear the monologue of their plans for world domination. So instead of the locked wars we now have a semi-elaborate "War Trigger" involving a race of interdimensional beings with their own plans for world domination.


Vuldacon mentioned it being hard to spot the city spots i.e. the tiles that will permit new cities so I knocked up this Real Estate sign for the City Ruin graphic and preplaced them on the map. Also shown in the screenie are Barb Camps (Skulls) and Goody Huts (Smilies).

 

[Takhisis]

They are a bit unnoticeable… but the urban terrain is very very believable. If you need to fill in any gaps I can pluck you some gfx quickly, exams are just over! Freeddoooommm!!!!

Have you uploaded a new version?

P.S. why the sstrange colours at the hive base?

 

[Balthasar]

I love that real estate sign, KA. What graphics do you still need to complete this? I've completely lost track.

May have a new beta by the weekend but I'm trying to playtest this war trigger first just to ensure it works. The strange colours are my attempts at representing a dimensional rift or some such nonsense.

I think I still need walled versions of the city graphics. There's some Wonder Splashes and one or two Techs required - I'll post a list later.

EDIT: I don't actually need walled city graphics since I removed the bombard defense from Gates. I posted a list of what's needed below.

Sure, I'll be back in under an hour and Google Image Search will take care of it

 

[Moosezilla]

Here is a Doomsday Weapon!!! oops ASPX format will see if I can convert it! Now if I can figure how to change 0 views to 1 views.

 

[Takhisis]

Here's some for techs, please cut'n'paste from any of these you like.

Publicity

Spoiler :

Surveillance (one's an animated .gif, but the pic was nice so I left it in anyway)

Spoiler :

Illegal arms trade: seriously, you even need to ask? Nicolas Cage is so in.

Spoiler :

Maybe a composite of Yuri Orlov with the guns as background?

No offense to your ample creative imagination Tak, but we sorta already had this conversation back on pages 8 and 9 of this thread and settled on images (actually heavily reworked portions of images) from graphic novels and comic books for the graphics for this scenario (see here or here for examples). You can find these all over the internet, although if you have a scanner and a graphic novel or comic book collection, you have access to images I can't even dream of, confined to the publicly available stuff on the nets as I am...

KA is the ultimate arbiter of this of course, but I don't think I'm out of line suggesting that we keep the remaining images in the same vein....

btw, I thought I already did Illegal Arms Trade....

 

[Takhisis]

I forgot after so long… well, leave it to KA's choice then.

 

[KingArthur]

I forgot after so long… well, leave it to KA's choice then.

Yes I would like to keep the comic book style vein going Tak.

btw, I thought I already did Illegal Arms Trade....

I saw the preview for it but I don't believe it was in the images that you emailed to me.

 

[Takhisis]

Does 'comic book style' include Tintin? There's a lot of highly stereotypified -did I spell that right?- villains in there and I do happen to have almost the entire collection.

 

[KingArthur]

Tintin: Not really, Marvel/DC is closer to the mark but as long as they fit the style of the techs already made.

 

[Takhisis]

I'll have to sit and watch then. Where's my choklit?

 

[Blue Monkey]

There are also the filters / plug-ins for giving images the Golden Age comics four-color-pixelated look. Search this thread for that part of the discussion if it seems useful.

 

[Takhisis]

Apparently someone has forgotten to post a link to this…

 

[KingArthur]

Doh!!!

 

[Takhisis]

Speaking of D'Ohs, there's no damsel to be rescued?

 

[KingArthur]

No but you can rescue some mooks from the Prison and the Asylum.
