This is a map I've been working on for a very long while. It is about a guy named 'Farmer John'. Its basically a life sim, like the Sims for AOK. Your main objective is to make money, and you can use the money to do things like: buy property, buy workers(not slaves ), build houses(not the ones villies build), gamble, raise a race horse and more! You start out with just a farm, and after a while you can expand it into more things, such as: mining, and woodcutting).

Right now the map is barely 50% finished, I havnt worked on it in a while do to my vacation, and school starts Monday(9th grade finally) so progress wont be too fast but it will be progress none the less. But the map is ready for playtesting, so with out further ado:

Must refrain from breaking out in an outrage in a desperate desire for next version. *twitch*

How much longer must we wait? My brain craves new version! (At least tell us how much longer...like a few days or something.)

I have alot alot alot more progress. It is getting done really quickly but I have 2 new features that I havnt triggred yet; 1. A jousting arena 2. A feature to buy villagers and tradecarts.(you wont be able to create them yourself) I had the Buying Villes triggers but I had to delete them because of a bug it caused. So just a few more days and youl be ready to playtest.

I also added alot of sidequests, and talking villies.

If I you were to submit the scenario now, you know, if the triggers were finished, and I reviewed it, I'd have to give the map the random map score. Work on those screenies, Crusader.

Sweet! Maybe my villies won't die as fast against Ornlu? (Or are they always going to get slaughtered like defenceless bugs without legs? [No bugs were harmed])

Or what type of 'balances' are you talking about?

EDIT:

Quoted from Tarkan Attila:

May I playtest it? I like these "sim games", so I can tell you how good it is (in comparison to other sim. games)

I think it would only be fair if you added him to the list, as he asked before The Treb asked...Just helpin' out.

First off, the lumberjack screenie. Its just leaves and trees! You need to delete those trees and leaves. Place down a basic layer of dirt 2. mix in some dirt 3. Then add tiny patches of leaves in it. At the trees, but do it sparsly, then get thick deeper into the forest. Soon it'll be impassable. Then add some gaia stumps in the entire area. Throw in some flowers maybe, and you'll have a nice cut down forest.

Next, the Mercanary Corner. Now this can be made wonderfuly if you think logicly. First off, ditch the leaves. Re do the area with grass 1 and start from scratch. Put down a later of dirt 1, then blend in dirt 2 and dirt 3. Then VERY sparcly and carefully at desert in small patches, quite like the leaves in the cut down forest. Then repeat the process with road broken in random spots. Add huts around the units, and you have a wicked mercanry post! Or you can ditch the road to really make it look rugged.

I'd give you more comments, but those are the only pictures that show up for me.

lumberjacking(?word?).


Another word for lumberjacking is woodcutting. Or timberworking (I think...) Nope, timberworking is not a word...

Ok, thanks for the tips Endoras. I'll try and edit the map later tonight.

@Scud
That is a common question and I would usually say, I have no idea. But since the progress is going so good right now I would say before the next school year begins.(wich is Mid/late August) I cannot promise it will be released then though, because I will be at my Fathers house in the States.

*Topic Updated*
I cleaned it up a bit
And added something to the bottom.

Yay, an almost final deadline (I hate the word...uggg)! I can't wait.

At least this scenario is coming along quite quickly, because I haven't gotten any test versions from any of the playtesting scenarios I've signed up for...

I will also like to say this project is still up and running for those who thought otherwise. And I will be sending a test file tonight to all playtesters. If you have had trouble in the past recieving playtest files, I would eccomend using another e-mail adress if available.

I've been away for about a month, visiting my dad in the states, but this project has not been abandoned. I am back and looking for playtesters once more. I didnt upddate the topic too much, but it has a few new things. there are no new screens becasue I had no chance too work on this while I was away. I cannot make promises but I will try to get some by monday. But as stated in the opic above, my school starts monday(well actually started last mnday but thats another story) so I wont get ast progress on this, but I will get some progress.

Thank you for reading,
