Empire Deluxe Tournament 2018 – Week Two Finale

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…

Falklands War AI Released

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. …

Falklands War (1982) – Beta Playtest Update

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…

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…

Falklands War Argentinian Forces – Completed

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…

First Attempt at the Western Hemisphere

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…

Playing Through Realm of Seran Chapter One

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…
