[Lord Boreal]

Other forum???

 

[Kaiser Franz]

yeah....at the begining of Januaryone of team sorted out a forum. here is is:

http://www.createphpbb.com/phpbb/index.php?mforum=18thcmod&sid=e93c9173e7a5417905b36689df1ae15b

 

[Lord Boreal]

How should I organise the events I have made? So far the only copies I have are all in the same file. Should I create a .txt file for each country I make events for them ZIP them together or one .txt file with them all in?
How would prefer it to be? Also, who should I send the finished events to?

 

[Strategist]

I prefer to have an event file for each nation.

Please send them to me: gdesoeten@xs4all.nl

I am working on a downloadable scenario...

 

[Kaiser Franz]

good to hear strategist! good to hear.....

 

[Lord Boreal]

I'll put all the events I have made into a .txt file per nation, and email it to you

 

[Kaiser Franz]

so have you done any other events for us lord boreal? I basically give evryone powers to make their own events for any country and post them on this forum or the 18thC forum and from that we can discuss and try to improve them...if they need improving.

 

[Lord Boreal]

A couple of Russian events for the 1740 Scenario.
Im working on some British events for the 1792 scenario at the moment, non-war events though don't worry King Tiger im not interfering with your Napoleonic events

 

[Kaiser Franz]

ok..i have some new ideas:
firstly we will not use 3 seperate tags for the 3 US revolutionary areas, we shall just use one of those.
secondly i was thinking of adding the British East India company and the Ducth East Company to allow the European side of things to stay un-altered and allow a good war in Europe while the Company's fight for Colonial supremecy.

thats it really, but can someone start working on the ideas of Wrangler for new naval units, i'll post them in the next post...

 

[Kaiser Franz]

here is Wrangler idea, he hasn't been on for a while:

clipper_transport > change to "Merchantman"
commerce_raider > change to "Privateer"
corvette > change to "Corvette/20"
frigate > change to "Frigate/36"
manowar > change to "Man-of-War/120"
cruiser > change to "Man-of-War/112"
dreadnnought > change to "Man-of-War/98"
battleship > change to "Man-of-War/74"
heavy_cruiser > change to "Frigate/44"
ironclad > change to "Frigate/38"
monitor > change to "Frigate/32"
minelayer > change to "Sloop/20"
minesweeper > change to "Brig/18"
steamer_transport > change to "Galley/?"
submarine > change to "Cutter/14"
torpedo_boat > change to "Schooner/8"

the numbers after the name relate to the ships guns..

can someone come up with unit pics for them as well as create the files for them, like the attacks defence etc etc etc

he also suggested that we change the 'brigades' to 'Battalions', here are his ideas for the attachments:

Tanks (barrel) > change to "Horse Artillery"
Artillery > change to "Foot Artillery"
Engineer > change to "Pioneer" or "Sapper" or "Pontoonier"


He also did the pictures for the gfx/interface units, they are over on the 18thC forum under Frontend graphics...

 

[Strategist]

Great list of changes KF, I will get the scenario first DLable, then I can take a look at those units (did mod with them before).

 

[Kaiser Franz]

well...they were Wranglers ideas, but he hasn't been around for a while. So how far are you at getting this here scenario done...i'm not rsuhing, i'm just asking for your progress if possible...

EDIT: could someone please script those events i posted a bit earlier on this page please?

 

[Strategist]

well, I am quite far with the 1740 scenario, however, I dont have a map for the one you proposed now yet, so I can do to much to get that right...

And I am free from school this week so I will sure have enough time to finish it and make it available this week...

 

[Kaiser Franz]

thats strange, becuase i'm free from school this week as well...
but that will be good....this week. First a beta...THEN THE WORLD!

 

[Kaiser Franz]

heres my ideas for the eventual tags for all the new nations:

U00 - Genoa/ Ligurian Republic
U01 - Palatinate of the Rhine
U02 - Salzburg
U03 - Wurzburg
U04 - Naples
U05 - Roman Republic
U06 - Cisalpine Republic
U07 - Bengal
U08 - Azerbaijan
U09 - Dagestan
U10 - Westphalia
U11 - Grand Duchy of Berg
U12 - Miguelite Portugal
U13 - possible Carlist Spain?
U14 - Apache
U15 - Souix

Recycled Tags:

Ruthenia - Knights of St. John
Flanders - Bishopric of Cologne
Wallonia - Bishopric of Liege
Latvia - Courland
Mughalstan - Maratha Confederation
New Engalnd - Revolutionary USA
Desert - Dutch East India Company
Manhattan Commune -British East India Company
VIE or DAI - Mongolia
Cherokee - Cherokee
Metis Confederation - Cree
Quebec - Iroquis Confederation

i've decided to use Ruthenia instead of Ioanian isalnds, because we'd need the Ioanian isalnds for the 1815 scenario.

thats means that we have tags U16-19, plus several other tags for nations such as Siegburgen etc...

 

[Kaiser Franz]

This leads me onto a specail thing i've been working on for the last fewdays...a full map idea of the world in 1740, its rough and might have a few mistakes, some of it is guess work using sources and books etc, others are dead on accurate, so if you find any porblems please state them...

 

[Kaiser Franz]
