Your idea is nice . Good luck with your project.

mm interesting Gl with this as with all of your scenarios

I'm addicted to Rome Total War, I will surely download your scenario once it's done, if you need playtesters later ask me on my email: Alex_Of_Macedon@hotmail.com

Seeing the screenshots, I advice you to work on eyecandy a bit. Also per instance, instead of having barracks in your roman forts, make big tents and then have miniature buildings inside them, so you could make the tents create units, because it doesn't look realistic having brick buildings in camps...

Brick buildings not realistic in a camp? lol
I did some research and gathered my knowledge about this stuff.
Roman camps in my country were mostly build up out of mobilisation-buildings (barracks), hospital building, general's barrack/office, walls (palisade or mud walls).

The biggest Roman Fort/Camp in my country was
Ulpia Noviomagus Batavorum (Nijmegen)
[JPEG, (1.18 MB)]
It was able to garrison 2 whole legions.

Even at elementary school's history lessons they told us the stuff i wrote above, most of it.

Btw the game's dato is after Christ. Developing from around 10 AC to 300 AC.

Oh sorry I thought when you meant fort you meant the camps they made each night, if you mean the kind of forts they stayed in for all of winter, or like the ones Ceasar made to watch over the Rhine during The Gallic Wars, yeah some of them were getting stone buildings after some years, especially in middle of the empire era (I thought yours was only set during Augustus' reign, as you talked about he and Varus and battle of Teutoburg.

I'm not sure yet about what time to start the game, or when Arminius showed up or when Drusus came :/ ah well i'm first going to finish the map itself.

Good luck on this map. I'm sure you will make it good.

IS the Dialogue Screen also usable in multiplayer?
I'm going to make a custom music system in this game. If can't use the dialogue thingy i'll just use the chat contain trigger :P

Awesome! Someone who posts screenshots of the general landscape rather than of particular thor-hammer abusing eyecandy locations! More people should do that. I think landscape design is one of the underrated aspects of AoM map design.

I also like the historical accuracy you strive for. Make sure gameplay is your number one priority, though.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone

IS the Dialogue Screen also usable in multiplayer?

No, but I remember someone trying to find/making one at one point.. Maybe search it.

Lies. It is. I've done it. It works great.Especially for music. But I found a new way.

But I found a new way.

Omoshiroi :O Please tell me!
I beg of you! ;p

I'm having a really annoying problem.

When i try to test it at multiplayer (it's not finished!) It crashes, it can't load the map for some reason. When the game is supposed to start, it crashes..
At the editor i can easily play it without problems.

Is it a trigger problem?
If it was a map problem i couldn't playtest it either so.

I'm looking through all my triggers and what catches my eyes is. I got many loop triggers for example Change Unit Names Area the one u need to put in unit id and new name and set area and type in radius etc.
Could that trigger be the cause?

Somethings are best to figure out yourself. Try changing the name... you might have screwed up the extension.

i already resaved it at another name.

Hey, Nick. If you remember me, and you should, we were great friends, come on AoM and PM me soon, I have many things I want to talk to you about.

..
Don't decide for yourself, i know who you are. I have some good friends at your old clan, but you? nah sorry.
And i'm still a solo-artist, not a team player.

You haven't changed one bit Chickenwrap, you're still demanding and going for your own desires. I do not like the likes of you.

Nick,I was not demanding you do something in any way, shape, or form. What clan? I don't own the WRP Clan, I did own AC, though, but it died. Anyway, If you don't remember me, you might know another one of my accounts, anyway, I'm sorry I came off that way to you, I really am, but you have a couple maps of mine that I would really like back so I can continue working on them, if that's alright?

Madagascar Wars, You should remember that one, I think I published it under a different name, though, Ohhhmyleg, I think.
Rural Zombie Onslaught, I don't think you have this one, but if you do.. Please?

There are a couple of others, but I forget, so, it doesn't matter there. Just, come on Nick, I'm not trying to act like a jerk, I know we were great friends, come on Nick, REMEMBER!

Madagascar Wars? i remember that name, sadly i don't have it anymore.. my pc crashed 5 times in a year time -.-

'friend' u know the meaning of that?
if u were my friend i would be forgivefull,
i would be kindattituded towards you instead of cold.
you mentioning anything now?

Yes I do, I'm sorry you didn't consider us like that, we did a lot of stuff together, beta-testing, ideas, playing maps, etc. etc.

Since, instead of posting something else, you edited, Nick, If you don't want to be friends anymore, I understand that, but I remember you being kind to me, and vice-versa.

Is this still being worked on? It looked very interesting.

It's been a while, AoMH..
I'm giving you a small update this time.
Enjoy!
