	Some very quick feedback Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

I've had a quick look at the scenario and here are a few thoughts on it:

1. You really need to include credits in the readme. This is especially true as much of the scenario (the map, the tech tree, some events) is lifted from Exile's 'Age of War'.

2. All the graphics are great

3. The grammar used in many of the events is rather poor. For example:

quote: After the agrument over argument Italian finally gives up with the French and invades Tunis to create a Colonial Empire

4. Some of the prerequisite techs for units don't make sence. For example, why does 'Advanced Balistics' let you build flame thowers, armoured cars and machine guns?

5. City placement and the choice of civs is done well

6. I like the concept of Border posts, but lots of them seem to be missplaced, and this will make movement very difficult (ie the Neutral ones on the border between Germany and Austro-Hungary)

BTW, as it says below the 'attach file' heading, the maximum size of files that can be attached to a post is 500 Kb, so nothing is wrong.

5. Thank you

6. Trento one, stops italians going deep in austria, not the historical way... and thei placed the border posts inbetween austria and germany, coz its to easy for germany to invade

russia is not very well comunicated, do you think is going to be a threat to the human player??
the escenario looks very good but there is no way of researching all the tech tree, i guess i´ll have to choose
i´ve seen the borders posts between germany and austria, why is that? to make it more difficult to attack each other??
maybe a road between germany and italy for trading...
other way it´s a very good scenario, the events, and it looks balance,

Soundwave:

1. The Sound7.zip is corrupted or something, it doesn't work

2. Two of the sound zips have files that overlap.

Otherwise, everything is AOK.

Well for the Broder Posts it means, Germany and Austro-Hungarian can still attack each other though two corridors, they can still atack each other, but i put them there, because its a wide front, were Germany would win 99% certain so thats why i put them there... With Germany and Italy road, i dont think so, it would be closed off by one of the players, being to supicious...

So all and all its good YAY!!~

Give the file a .zip extension by renaming it, and then it can be opened in Winzip or whatever zip utility you use.

And is it really, really too much to ask for you people to give credit to the people you copied units, icons, flags, and such from?

Soundwave, it's generally considered good form to explicitly credit each unit rather then just list the people who made them.

	Suffering from ads?

Well, it seems that Soundwave will have a lot of work for the "credit list", which means I'll have plenty of time to make further comments...

I'm still not sure I'm happy with the unit balance, but I speak only from looking at the rules.txt, not from playing, so it might be a bit early for me to make such comments!!

Anyway, as there is only 1 improvement in infantry units, I think I would prefer it to be a bit bigger, something like:
Conscript 5/4 and Infantry 7/5

Or maybe Conscript 5/4 and Infantry 6/5, but Infantry ignoring City walls (and so being needed to take cities, where tanks are not really the best units).

And I agree with Case, the grammar in the events is a bit "surprising" (at least for a non english speaker like me... ) and includes a few typos: it wouldn't be long to correct it and the result would be worth it!!

Last, for now: as I already told you, I really like the graphics!! And the theme!! Good job !!!


BTW: about your coldwar scenario, I found a few things that could be interesting, I'll try to make a quick summary or catch you on MSN!! No promise, though...
