Should I Keep Working On This? Inflate your Upload Space

I've been working on this Cold War scenario for god knows how long...and I finally decided that I had to do it in TOT because of it's extra capabilities. I also wanted the scen to be multiplayer (in the very least PBEM).

Anyway...I have all the terrain, half the units, most of the tech tree, and some of the city images. The map(s) is/are new, and I will have to use CSPL to link them together...making this one helluva project...lol.

Just wondering how many people would actually play this scenario? (I only have like 2 for sure...)

How large are the maps, are both about 100x100? ToT supports mapsizes of up to 32767 squares. In stead of using CSPL you can just paste the two maps together. That´s much easier and better for the AI too.

Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

The maps are pretty good, by the way The Kalahari desert seems to be missing though.

*chalks down another name*

Alright...so three now...

Just so people know...the playable civs are:

America (America, Panama, Iceland)
Warsaw Pact (Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Mongolia)
North Atlantic Treaty Org. (West Europe, Canada, Greece, Turkey)
China (China, North Korea)
India (India...lol)
Arab League (Mid-East to Algeria, Pakistan)
Neutrals (Just about everybody else)
Rebel Groups (Barbs who are...well...in any hot spots that come up)

I'm hoping that all of them could be played...but the Neutrals aren't that important.



rwprice,

That all depends on how many people sign up.

I wouldn't mind sharing my progress; it's when people ask me about stuff that I feel the need to keep working.



Mercator,

Nope...each of those maps is around 320000 squares. It's 200 up and down, and around 180 or so across. This is a VERY large map.

It's been through 4 different incarnations, this being the final when I figured out how they could all fit together.

BTW, on the Kalahari... I did South Africa very quickly, without thinking much except that I needed to make sure that the major plateau was there. I didn't think about it until after I'd placed all the cities...it's not and important area, or even one that more than a unit or two would cross all game. It would be an arduous task to fix it in the game -- that's a good 120-130 squares that would need replacing.




Here's a fairly decent screen of Europe.

How did you put so many civs on a ToT map?

The game sounds good!
I'll download it when I have time...

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Darkcloud,

Well....one of the civs (that being the rebels) is really the barbarians that can be generated from events (assuming that hasn't changed with TOT ). That's kinda it...there are only 7 civs and the rebels (for lack of a better word)



EdwardTKing,

lol

I hadn't found the populations for the cities at the times. Any cities higher than one have actual populations, and since that shot was made, a populations forjust about all of Europe have been found (with the notable exception of Spain). I'll take a screen a littlelater and put that up...the scenario's map is nowhere near complete (note the lack of roads and irrigation).
