Vendetta 2 - A Nuke War In The Making! Get a bigger avatar today!



Now that Soviet Steel II is finally done and dusted,
it is time to turn my attention to improving another scenario from last year...Vendetta.

I was not completely happy with the final result, and I am sure people had many issues they wanted sorted.
Well, now is the chance to fix anything that was not ideal, and add stuff that was needed...



Not to mention a good overhaul of the the graphics!

So this thread will be for collecting ideas and recommendations for
what any previous players would like to see, or like to not see!

More info to come...

Its just a real shame Curt that you can't have more unit slots available, to give the Chinese, African and Austrailian players more variety in their custom units. Oh well, guess thats just one of the limitations we have to live with.

I know people might disagree with me, but I would have the scenario get hot faster, or use less units. My favorite scenarios are ones where you have just enough units to accomplish your mission, and a few extra.

I do plan to have new techs come a lot slower, with more focus on the units availble.

Also, I am dropping some units to make room for some new flavour types for AUSCOM, the African Coalition and the Chinese...

I agree with POTUS. One of my major gripes with the last version were that there were too many units and cities. For us nitpicking micromanagers, turns could take aeons!

I actually love the fact that there are so many cities. It gives a real sense of conqueoring a nation when you have so many cities to capture. It was what I loved when I was playing as the Pan African Coalition, the fact that it seemed like you were retaking Africa one nation at a time.

Curt I also love the fact that you have given each civ their own tank. This has made the game more fair than it was before. My only concern Curt is that there are no trade/caravan units. This is too bad since you already went to the trouble with making so many interesting comodities for trading. Otherwise, I can't wait to play it. You should join a PBEM of this some time Curt, although as the games author you may have just a slight advantage.

@our_man:
More cities mean long and fun campaigns!
And worry not, from the onset, there won't be too many units too cope with, and upgrades will be more smoothly introduced.

@Sarsstock:
I never gave the trade that much thought, since this is a 'coldwar'-type scenario.

Perhaps dropping the generic tank and adding a cargo truck might be an option...
Though, during wartime, getting those ferries across the seas will be almost impossible!

Love the units, Curt.

That APC in the second row doesn't have a shield, along with the V missile in the sixth.

Since each civ will have an air unit too, you could probably drop the generic fighter as well.

Being the Southern African geography nerd that I can tend to be, if you're using your standard gigamap, I found a more accurate location for Salisbury/Harare.

Okay, in an all out nuclear world somebody like say the Soviets may have more pressing matters than shipping their electronic goods for sales in New South Whales. However trade can be very benificial don't forget, and could easily help a smaller nation such as Pan Africa or Austrailia in building their economy quicker and allowing for a stronger buildup of arms which in turn would make war much more interesting.

I do understand your point though, I'm just playing devils advocate here. Did I mention how much I loved the aggressive "terrorists" in the first Vendetta Curt? I hope their just as aggresive this time around.

After some thought, and the point you made for the smaller powers,
I think trade might be in this time, Sarsstock!

The generic barb tank will become a terrorist infantry, and manifest using the guerilla units stats...

Also, the generic fighter must stay, to give the minor powers a fighter, from which to upgrade to UU types.

And worry not...The terrorists will be evil as ever, and they even have nukes this time around!

No buried tank turrets? Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

Are there not going to be any burried tanks for the Soviets? I know your low on unit space but maybe if you could include a burried tank graphic as a terrain it would be great. There's just something so fitting about the Soviet border lined with old burried tanks, staring out at a vast forgotten battlefield from decades past. You know, it had a real poetic element to it.

Glad to hear there's going to be a trade unit comming!!

Got spare money?

Whoops, it may appear that my attached image would give the impression that I placed a city where Salisbury/Harare would be, I didn't, it's the square that is highlighted by the cursor that should be the city's base. Just clearing up any confusion.

How goes progress on this, anyway? I'm not meaning to rush, but I can bet we're all curious to see how far you've come.

Scenario status?
Well, the new tech progression document is in place, and the new units/icons/terrain is in a state of readiness!

So after putting together a new rules.txt, and re-doing the map unit placement, it will be ready for playtesting!
