Status: offline 		Hi,

I've just bought Advanced Tactics and am really looking forward to playing it as it sounds great! While I was waiting for the download I followed the link to the community website and notice there are 8 scenario's up for download that seem to have been there some time. Can someone confirm these are ready to go with Advanced Tactics (rather than People's Tactics)

The scenario's sound really interesting and it's great if they're ready.. but I wanted to check as they've been there a few months and the game only just got released.

cheers

Status: offline 		One thing I noticed that seems common on these scenarios (which seem to work fine... haven't put more than a few turns in any yet... was mainly curious about the extent some have changed the graphics, etc) is that when you click on a unit for details, its image only shows the upper left corner of the unit image (whereas the default scenarios show the full image).


As I haven't played with completely modifying a scenario with new graphics yet, is this simply an issue of a change in the way the game engine displays the unit picture from whatever development version these were created under and the fine production one or is this a potential issue anyone making custom art for is going to have to work around or otherwise deal with?

Yeah, I noticed that as well. Is there a fix planned for this, Vic? The artwork looks very nice, and I'd really like to see the larger version in it's entirety in the detail screen.

Of course as it is you have a much wider array of choices/strategies and a modern era game will expand on that. This game would be awesome for Starship Troopers, Warhammer, Warhammer 40,000 and anything else within someone's imagination. The future is very bright for this little gem.

I think I easily have $40 worth of gaming already compared to purchases of recent years and am into pure gaming profit(!), so I have no problem making the odd payment to keep this guy and his helpers in the gaming business!

Actually your post has really made me think. I have been having a great time with the operationally authentic North Africa 41. And yet you're having fun with the fanasy scenario. Hard to appreciate that we're talking about the same game isn't it? Talk about flexibility!

Especially considering the fantasy scenario wasn't even part of the release, the AI is smoking me...so far. It's like a cake made out of all frosting...always a good piece.

Status: offline 		Try Tweber's Great War scenario as well... I loaded it up and immediately was struck with how well done it was.

Erik... MAKE THAT MOD! I want to see what one of the Matrix Gods can do!

Once I figure out the editor, I am planning on doing a group of scenarios set in the Emperor of the Fading Suns universe. The first scenario I have planned is a "recapture your homeworld from the rebels" (which is always what you had to do first in the original EotFS). Then maybe an invasion scenario and finally a scenario agaubst the Symbiots or Vau. I have the original tech tree and unit list that shipped with the game, so that shouldn't be a problem. If anyone knows where I can get some art assets, for unit graphics, that would be great. I have the original CD and a Home of the Underdogs version on my HD right now, but I am not sure that I can extract the unit graphics from there.

I think, with the research and economy aspects of AT, it would be perfect to redo (on a smaller scale) the research and economy of EotFS. I haven't yet figured out how I might do space scenarios (but, to be fair, space battles were only secondary in EotFS).

I have the Civ expansion, so I see where you are going with this. The problem would in trying to model the mostly ground based combat of EotFS with space transport to take troops from planet to planet. I guess you could make a huge map with "islands" in space to be planets. Kinda lame, I would think.

That is why I thought about story driven scenarios, each "set-piece" battles of a larger campaign. The first would be home planet pacification, next could be invasion of rival, next would be defense from aliens... all in a final bid to become emperor.

Warhammer 40K would be good in theory, but units rely so much on special abilities to demarcate them in that game, it might be a bit "bland." I wish someone would update Rites of War, which I liked very much.

Now a Dune - Battle for Arrakis scenario... that has HUGE potential. Need to brush up some desert squares with red to denote spice fields... Would feel great to have 50 Sardaukar collide against 100 Fremen warriors to see who wins! You could research "Wierding Modules" and produce Feydakin... it would be spectacular!

Maybe you tried to play the human only variant against the AI.
That version the AI can´t handle.
Pls make sure you uncheck the option i marked in the screen
when playing with AI´s.
