	Wonder names Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I still need a few WoW names, those are:

- something for the Lighthouse, which will be built in Ephebe.

- something for Hoover Dam; it has to do with the Golems and can only be built once the Golems become "aware"

- something for Cure for Cancer, with a tech name for the tech that'll allow to build it
note: other happiness WoW are: Free Festival (Music with Rocks In), Patrician Vetinari, Centuries of Fruitbat Click Company, The Truth, Witch Supervision and Temple of OM

- something with Tacticus for Sun Tzu's War Academy

ideas, anybody??

You mean concise or precise??

I think I'll stick to the Ladies...

quote: - something for the Lighthouse, which will be built in Ephebe. What's wrong with "Lighthouse"?

Oups, was there a Lighthouse in Ephebe?? I think I now remember something like that...

If yes, then of course Lighthouse it will be!

quote: "Golem Self-Determination" "Worker Control of the Means of Production" "Golem Cooperatives"

As the tech is called "Golem Awareness", I think "Golem Cooperatives" will be good!

quote: - something with Tacticus for Sun Tzu's War Academy "The Prince's Art of War" "Veni, Vidi, Vetinari" "Genuan War Academy" "How to Become a Strategos in 21 Easy Steps"

As it can be built anywhere, I would prefer no reference to a place (as in Genuan W. A.)! So maybe the "The Prince's Art of War" will do!

	Technical question Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

I have a question about the events: what happens if, via the events, I try to substract more money than the civ has?? does it stop at 0 or "flow over" and restart from the max ??


And thanks to your suggestion, I have my last Wonders now:

1) The Lighthouse in Ephebe

2) Golem Cooperative for Hoover Dam

3) Ladies of Negociable Affection for CfC

4) Tacticus Notebook for Sun Tzu


Now the tech-tree is ready, the wonders too, the improvements too, as well as the unit list!

The graphics are nearly finished, just a few units are still lacking (I still would like some help on those, See Speculative graphics thread! ), as well as the improvement/wonder (I should be able to find existing ones that would be alright)!

I'm now working on the various .txt files and I'll start implementing the events too (I'm afraid there might be too many of them... we'll see!)

Hi Javier!

By "multi-units" I meant the graphics showing different people in the same unit!

You can see an example and which units I need at this link: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthre...15&pagenumber=4

And there is another thing you could help me with: finding the icons (no need to create them, I think there are enough existing) for the improvements and the Wonders! If you have the time, I can send you a list of the improvements and you can start searching for the graphics??

BTW, are you familiar with Discworld?

First of all Discworld. Regretabily, I'm not familiar with Discworld, although I've tried to buy the books some times - It's a perfect example of bad luck, because all times that I've tried to buy them, the bookshop ran out of them In fact, in my last birthday I ask for them as a present, but no one buy them for me

Send me the list of icons/wonder and I'll try my best

	Name for cities needed Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

No, the project is not dead yet, rather the contrary…

I just finished “tweaking” St-Leo’s map, trying to make the “right” special resources available to the various cities.

I used the middle map, and I think it might have been better to take the little one (yes St Leo, that was your opinion form the start), as the world might prove to be too huge as virtually no new city can be built! But that will be shown in the playtest!

So I chose and placed nearly all the cities! Each playable civ will start with 5 cities, with around 30 other ones available for trade or conquest… I still need a few names for the cities (or in some case countries/regions): I used the ones I found in the books and the map, as long as they were on the terrain represented on my map (I have to admit I cheated to include a few more, but not much…).

And, as some purists might notice, some cities are not exactly at the right place; for 1 of the 3 following reason:

1) as written above, to bring in the map a place that would have been barely outside
2) to make better use of special resources: I always find so sad to have a city with 3 juicy specials just outside its radius…
3) to better the playability of the game (rather subjective concept, I admit…)

So here is the list, please suggest a few names for the 5-10 cities still needed, coming from Mr Pratchett (even if I think I considered most of them and had a reason to leave them out: geography, in most cases…) or your own imagination!

Bad Blintz is a town in Uberwald (from the Amazing Maurice), at least I think it was in Uberwald, somewhere around there anyway.

Slice is in Lancre (population 7)

It's supposed to be the Home of the gods! It's a high mountain, looking like a rock and ice needle with a palace on the top of it!

	Back from Limbo Increase Your PM Length

OK, I started to work on it again! The cities are in place now and half of them are ready (size, improvements, ground).

Here is the (optimistic) schedule before beta-test:

0) Verify the units balance: today

1) Finish the development of the cities : this week-end

2) pre-build the necessary units for all civs: this week-end

3) Verify that the events file work as intended: next week

4) play a game to see wether the mechanics work (alpha-test): the week after

5) implement the improvements/wonder graphics: beginning of October

6) finding the last units graphics: beginning of October

7) start a beta-test: end of October

8) go on holiday: end of October

9) write the description files : mid November

10) implement the corrections to the problems that appeared in the beta-test: mid November

11) start a real playtest: end of November


Hopefully...

	Noobs mistakes... Increase Your PM Length

OK, I did learn a few things, but it has been painful...

Actually, I had read about those points, and then forgotten them, namely:

1) if you want the unit in the fanatic slot to be buildable for a civ, the civ needs to be in Fundamentalism (having the unit's prereq isn't enough!). This one took a lot of time to understand (I thought it had to do with the musketeer slot, or with my tech-tree, etc.)

2) if you use "no, no" techs (for instance to differentiate between your civs), NEVER use the advance editor, because it will mess your whole tech tree (for more info on this, and on many more things for building a separate tech-tree, read the excellent article in 2 parts by Blackclove that you can find at the Scenario League)


So now I go on, a bit delayed and a bit wiser...
