Project Blue Danube - Darkest Hour Leaves Earth

[Tankist/45]

Mix the armies of three or two (pre ww2 nato and wp) blocks united against aliens and it could be awesome.

Did you even read anything before posting -.-

[KaiserMuffin]

Inspired by the UCIP I came up with this for the Human forces units (it's obviously an example, whaddya think?)

[BeardedHoplite]

Reminds me of XCOM. Keep it up.

[KaiserMuffin]

Any preference? (I know I edited after you posted)

[BeardedHoplite]

I like the blue, but the text is a little hard to read with it. Could you make it brighter or a different color? 'Cause that green screams 1980s sci-fi(that's a good thing), but is kinda ugly.

[KaiserMuffin]

?

EDIT

[BeardedHoplite]

Works for me.

Final variant

It would be easier to tell it ingame. It' not hurting my eyes in 3 seconds on blue background, we have to see it ingame.

For that other elements of the interface should be redrawn as well

It's Summertime

It's Summertime

Yes it is so go enjoy it.

this is a new planet, so i would think making more tech and events for infrastructure building would be paramount. even if this planet is EXACTLY like earth in every respect.

Also, if our history teaches us anything about us. we, the human race for the most part HATES anything not us, so either we will eradicate the natives or eradicate the natives.

As to all the posters commenting on what they think sci fi is.... it's thinking outside of the proverbial religious bull crap box most of our politics is based upon.. mainly, how do we control the masses to our liking and NOT theirs at all.
Hard sci fi is sci fi without the human emotional context and it damn sure has NO religious bull in it at all.

this sounds like an extremely cool mod. Best of luck making it and i'd love to play it when u get finished with it.

But yes, there really should be much more building for this mod than anywhere in any other mod, if just for it being a new planet.

Right, after a week of sunshine and beer and such nonsense, I'm back home and I'll start doing some work again. Promise.

[KaiserMuffin]

As promised. Some work. Now to Prov ID it all :O - Right click view image to see in it's full glory... (and yes I fixed the slight discontinuity at the join between quadrant's two and three (going clockwise from topleft) and the discontinuous landprov between 1 and 4 and the other one between 2 and 3) - please feel free to point out anything else I've missed out - here

I've noticed there are several ring like areas where a circle of provinces surrounds another, are there areas significant in some way?

[KaiserMuffin]

These areas are either Human landing zones, or Alien Major Capitals and you see these rings (if a little smaller) in vanilla DH - E.G. - Moscow, Berlin. It's a legitimate decision in my opinion because large conurbations (and insertion points on a flat surface) will both be divided into segments around their core so to speak. - The Human ones are particularly arranged to make it 'easy' by the 'cartographer' - an Alien map of this planet wouldn't have circles in those areas

[Lord Finnish]

Looks sweet

Do you got all the factions covered or could we offer ideas for them?

[KaiserMuffin]

First Stage Factions are covered, but there's going to be several event chains that you can find on the linked forum that might see all sorts of things...
