I’m a little late posting the outcome of the final game of the year. Unfortunately, as we approached 1200 turns, it was clear we weren’t going to have a winner before the end of the holiday. On the final day we also decided to look back on the saves from earlier games and reminisce. One…
I’ve put up my first AI script for Empire Deluxe Combined Edition. This script is born more of necessity than actual interest. Three days straight of playing the AI and it became obvious that some variation was required. The default AI simply struggles too much with the high number of starting units to be effective. …
Above are some of the highlights from today’s game. I’ve been play testing the new Falklands War campaign and made some modifications which will be uploaded shortly. One key change is I’ve added the visibility to the exploration mode of the game. As much as this decision pains me, the AI is just hopeless without…
Happy New Year! The Falklands War (1982) Scenario has been posted to EDIBLE. This map details the stunning victory of the British Task Force over a sizable Argentinian invasion force. However, at the time this type of war had never been fought before, and the outcome would shape the future of modern warfare to come….
Last night around midnight I completed the final list of British forces for the Falklands War map. The screenshot shows the initial disposition of the British Task Force as it makes its way out of Ascension and the British Isles. This map now represents almost 200 hours of research to complete. I am quite pleased…
It’s that time of the year again (Christmas) where we take on the yearly Empire Deluxe tournament. For those unaware, this is a tradition started 10 years ago by a few of us in IT that were scheduled to work between the holidays with no access to an outside network. To pass time, we played…
Last night, I finally completed the placement of all Argentine forces on the Falklands War map. The research and placement of these units took about 100 hours, so I’ve decided I had to pull myself away. I’m mostly pleased with the results so far. There are limitations to the game mechanics which forced me to…
After the recent patch, thank you Mr. Kinkead, I’m proud to say the game seems to recognize map files created through the map editor without issue. I’ve posted the first chapter of the Realm of Seran and am actively working on building the scenario bits for the second chapter. However, I wanted to take a…
I’ve made some changes and uploaded a new file based on my first few play tests of the Ream of Seran map. Mainly, I’ve strengthened the Kashkur home cities due to some easy exploits I was able to make in the early rounds. Here are two small screenshots (trying to avoid spoilers) of my favorite…
The first campaign I’ve created exclusively in Empire Deluxe CE is now on EDIBLE. This is the first of a three part series I hope to publish before Christmas. One important note is you MUST play with Player Two, or the game instructions will not make sense.
