Next Project – City Tiles
This week was pretty lazy for me as I get back into the grind of work. I wasn’t up for another 100+ hour research project, so I decided I want to do something else for my next project.
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…
Falklands War (1982) Released
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…
Empire Deluxe Tournament 2018 – Week One
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…
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…
Adallia Released for Empire Deluxe
The map of Adallia has been uploaded to the Empire Deluxe Library. It is based on the map created by Danis Saidann al Suwadi in 2015/16 and is one of the 2016 tournament maps for Empire Deluxe. I’ve made some minor tweaks to help with gameplay on my uploaded version. The map featured here first…
Work in Progress – Falklands
I’ve been absent recently due to a number of other commitments going on right now. Mainly, I’ve been diverting my attention to setting up the sister site to this one, Global Baseball Federation. The GBF has it’s annual draft every November and I’m trying to help them re-structure some of their more challenging rule changes…
