Looks great. 'Fraid I haven't the time to playtest, but good luck.

*Sings* Rule, Britannia! Britannia rules the waves! Never, never never never shall Britons be slaves.

Or something like that anyway

Looking really good, Colo. Unfortunately, I am at a critical period in my educative life and thus have no time to do anything else but hard slog (and trying to avoid it as much as possible )

I love the title image. So suave.

Personally, I would prefer to live in England myself.

I'll go in.

Alright, cool. Download the prologue and tell me what you think of it.

I'll test it colo.

downloading

Thanks!

I'll download it later when I have access to my other computer.

Any feedback? This seems to have just died...

Nope this hasn't. Don't worry. I just got to download and now I'm putting the sounds and scenario. Except feedback soon.

Great, thanks RoH.

O_O Your map design is pretty good.

Yay! Someone posted.

I stand my ground when I say your a talented designer.

I really liked the prolouge, but however, I was disapointed that I couldn't see the entire port during the cutscene. It was quite a map and should've been used to the fullest.

Oh well.

Do you think it would be improved with a short part where you have to get money to pay the fee?

I really didn't like the town myself...

no, it would wasted and pointless time. Unless you added a few challenges, like bandits, a time limit, ect.

Okay, finally I got some-time out. I'll give you feedback once I finish.

Downloading...

Alright, come on guys. Just tell me if you're not going to give me feedback...

I don't have the AI! It says failed to laid some JetEngine or some AI like that. Please send it to me.

Ah, just replace it with Immobile Units. I haven't started utilizing the commands I placed in it.

Excellent Dialogue!

The only minor issue I had was that I thought the Player 1 (blue) position needed a Player X (blue) stand in position for the ownership changes.

I found the short scene interesting and the letter intriguing...there was a lot of nice touches and I didn't find any bugs.

Maybe to rethink the initial instruction to just sit back and watch? Although I had no difficulty with the objective, I just had this vision of Cheesesteak Jimmy sitting there waiting for the scenario to continue.

The map design is fantastic.

The theme is very interesting and I can't wait to play more of this and learn the rest of the story. The prologue did exactly what it should, made me want to play the next scenario. Well done Colo!

Thanks Ana. Seems like someone will actually get back to me with feedback.

I'll change the objectives.

Your most welcome Colo!

There's no getting out of this one!

Ok, I tested it and it was amazing. But IMO the Captain should be tasked to the ship himself rather than by us. And oh on his way back to New Chaseford, when the Captain boards the HMS Conqueror, there is a small conversation, out there you've got the spelling of travelling as traveling.
And, when the Captain and the Messenger go to the Town Hall, the distance between the Guard, Messenger and Captain is too little. I think some spacing is needed.
I know I'm soo.. irratating. . Thats all. And the music was amazing!

I did not misspell traveling. It can be spelled both ways.

Having him tasked to the ship makes the player wake up.

Just seen the prologue,and I realized how you are good at designing

My opinions have written by RoH;

Quote:

Quote:

If AoK could do variables, I'd add a reputation system. Unfortunately it can't.

Thanks Paladin.

EDIT: I'm still planning this, but it might work:

Reputation System:

Click the Priest.

"Hello Father."
>
"Hello, my son."
>
"Can I talk with you, father? I can tell by your face that something worries you..."
>
if (reputation > 75) then
{"Yes yes... (proceeds to talk about something bad...}
else (reputation < 75) then
{"Get out of here, you swindler!"}

With "reputation" as a variable, with differing numbers responding to different levels of reputation.

1-10 Horrible
11-20 Swindler
21-30 Rascal
31-40 Bastard
41-50 Shifty
51-60 Decent
61-70 Bloke
71-80 Matey
81-90 Dashing
91-100 Hero

If anyone knows how to do this, please tell me!

Hey Colo!
My apologies for downloading the Prologue without permission. I was tempted! But ofcourse, I must give you feedback:
I loved your prologue, very intriguing. The map design was excellent, and the music was beautiful! I notice, as RoH did, that the Guard is too close to William's home. Secondly, when the Messenger is tasked to the Guard, he approaches too close to the Guard, the horse virtually licking his face! Ofcourse, this is just a minor issue.
I also noticed that one of the ships, "HMS Australia," is misspelt, unless it is supposed to be. Overall, the prologue has no bugs and is a perfect start to a perfect campaign!
In my opinion, the Prologue is good the way it is, there's no need to add side-quests like gold collection.
Also, if possible, it would be better to fix the position of the Conqueror, because I could simply right-click on it, and it would sail all the way to someother unapprochable part. Just a precautionary approach.

On the whole, I loved your prologue, and I can't wait for the next scenario!
Oh, and the reputation thing, I think BJ submitted a related utility recently, maybe that could help you.

Colo, I like your idea for a reputation system

Maybe you can use a resource (like stone)to keep track of the reputation ranking - it's been done before for morale and health systems.

pulkit: No problem. The ship's name is probably a typo. Which one do you mean when you say guard?

I was talking about the Guard beside the Town Hall. The cavalry guard, with whom we have a dialogue. This is the same guard mentioned by RoH. How's the progress?

Yo, Colo. I think there was a way to do the reputation system... um, check the Grand Theft Empires thread, it was somewhere in there. What you could do is use the 'Kill Ratio' trigger, or use an AI Goal as Milita Mouse says.

Good luck with the scenario. I was going to do something like it, but I'll leave it to you! I think I'll just stick to being an author, I'm only good at that!

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm about 30% complete with the playable map.
