I decided to start a new thread to discuss the ww1 scenario im currently working on, originally started by eivind. Seein as the other thread says "help to finish my ww1 scen" i thought this wud be more appropriate!
For all those who havent a clue what im talking about, eivind has been working on a new ww1 scenario for a while now, something which i think has been badly needed. Anyway, after eivind finished most of the hard work like the units etc he passed the scenario over to me!
im pretty excited about my progress so far, and i would have posted the files to you eivind but my email appears to be down, and i dont really want to post them here until theyr ready for beta.
anyway, on what ive done:
ive finished off all the civs techs and populated the cities
ive created each sides respective armies, i had an idea on some of the units, which i'd like your approval on eivind. instead of calling the units "french division", i thought of changing it to "Infantérie Division", and likewise with the british division being renamed to "infantry division". With each country having its own word for infantry rather than just the name of the country, wat do u think? ANZAC divisions and American Divisions would stay the same though.
Also, ive added a new unit, the "Allied Partisan", which i attempted to draw as a collection of rather battle-worn looking french and british soldiers. though my results were not too pleasing, mayb u could help eivind? you seem particularly adept at these sort of things. i thought the idea would be that these units only appear through events, and are much stronger than normal divisions to represent the allied grim determination at holding onto the western front. they would appear when germany starts to take french cities, to help either the human french player to retaliate or the computer french player to put up a really decent fight.
ive also started to touch up the terrain a bit on the corruption in the forests and so on.
ive just begun the events today, ive decided to create a seperate events and maybe even a rules file for each different nation, so that it can be a seperate challenge for each nation, and also so i can add a personal touch to each nations briefings on certain events. I envisioned the Germans reporting the battle of verdun as a "great victory" whereas the british generals describe it as "a fluke, sir. it'll all be over in a month, those huns wont know what hit them" etc.
anyway, i hope to have the beta up for testing by monday, or possibly sunday if i continue at this pace, following eivinds approval of my progress. Just shows you what someone with ALOT of time on his hands and undiagnosed insomnia can do!!!
btw, i will have the files to you by email as soon as my hotmail decides to work, hopefully v soon!
