Hey everyone, got a little update for you. Here are the units in progress. I am doing my best to use Fairline's style as he has really captured the 19th century extremely well. My process has been cut and paste some of his civil war units to make some regular "civilian" units for use in this rough and tumble saloon town. After cutting and pasting I've added a few touches of my own to finish the unit off. I've also been using Exile's Imperialism unit.gif as a starting point so as to get in the right frame of mind.

As you can see, I have included some of Eivind's units for the prostitutes and one or two of Nemo's horse drawn wagon units.

I have encountered a bit of writers block at the moment and have decided to ask everyone as to their ideas of units to add to the scenario. I'm thinking that a few "famous faces" need to appear.

Any suggestions?

Oh, and the saloon "shields" I am hoping to replace with custom made saloon owner units. I just have to actually make them first.

The five owners are:

The Bloon Moon Saloon: Tye Oliver
The Golden Nugget: Al Sergander
The 5 Star Saloon: Dan Dougherty
The Double Diamond Saloon: Jack Dawson
The Royale Inn Saloon: Rapier Royale

Just thinking aloud here, but how about each of the civs represent a character in the town? The 'sherriff' civ can build a posse and is the enemy of the 'outlaws' civ. Maybe have a civ for a rancher, with access to cattle upgrade-type techs, one for the saloon owner who can build prostitute 'spies' to steal techs and money from the other civs; the outlaws can't build so have to attack the other civs for money. You get the picture

Well, I'd like to maintain the saloon owner persona for the civs. That way the style of play won't be to different for each player in a multiplayer game.

I am going to use the cattle idea though. My mountains in terrain2 have just been turned into fences and I plan on making or finding a good longhorn and a rancher unit. They can be barb units with a bonus going to the player who "steals" a longhorn. Of course, the rancher will have a high powered rifle to discourage that practice.

Also, I made some nice cemetary flavor goodies for the special mountain terrains.

Wow, this is fun.

Got spare money?

Update:

1. Finishing up the last parts of the icons.gif file

2. Did some work on the labels.txt

3. Added 7 new units: Wild Bill Hickock, Calamity Jane, Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, a Rancher, Cattle, and a Grizzly Bear.

4. Game.txt modified (if anyone wants to use it).


It's coming together.

You know I have to say the most tedious part about making a "full" scenario like this one is editing the damn text files.

Would someone would like to help? Please, please, please....

Anyways, I'm finishing up the units and I need more universal unit for the players. So far I have:

Laborer
Irish Boxer
Railroad Man
Knife Fighter
Gun Man
Quickdraw
Bag Man
Prospector
Whore
French Whore
Madame
Highway Man
Scout

Special Units Open to All:
Wild Bill Hickock
Calamity Jane
Butch Cassidy
Sundance Kid
Seth Bullock
Army Deserter

I have 10 more slots to fill. Any suggestions on normal, non special, units?

Well I have two settler units that can build saloons and terrain improvements. The Laborer and the initial 'Settler For Founding The Saloons'. If for some reason I have too many units for the slots I'll combine the two.

As for "settlers" coming into the valley, as people were want to do when seeking their fortune in the Black Hills, I have another unit that will have no attack or defense (or "settling" capability), belonging to the Sioux (Nature is another Civ which governs the mountain and impassable units) that will appear through events. This unit can be bribed and disbanded in the saloons to generate shields (high build price = high disbanding bonus) for production. The main job of the prostitutes is to "bribe" these units so that a player can gain money (aka. business/commerce) through new settlers entering the valley.

As for the Drunk and Undertaker, how could I use them? Scouting units? Caravans? Let me know your thoughts.

To be honest, I have no idea. I was really just thinking of what type of characters I'd expect to find in a Western, and hoping you'd suddenly think up some brilliant use for them.

Well, the drunks could either just be "military" units (somewhat like the Irish Boxer?), or maybe barbarian units created by events that rampage through town occasionally (though that wasn't quite the thing you were asking help for).

Woohoo! 7 more unit spots to go. Terrain1.gif is nearly finished as I have three more terrain tiles to make. Icons.gif is almost done except for the Wonders Icons. Cities.gif still has some three more cities to fill, but I'll make that up. The text files ar 30% of the way there too. Slow and steady it's getting done.
