I decided to post up the map script I’ve been working on. It’s very much a beta, so try it at your own risk. I would recommend any map file you create be opened through the in-game map editor. I’ve found it to be the most full-proof method of verifying if it will work properly. …
I’ve released a small tile set to supplement the city tiles. These are a 128×128 tile set and it covers the three miscellaneous tiles found in the terrain directory. The screenshot provided in this post shows how the tiles look next to the city tiles released earlier. This screenshot comes from the Falklands War scenario…
This blog has been quiet because I’ve kept my head down working through some additional EDCE updates. I am continuing to work on sprites and have finally advanced into transparent png’s. There were multiple lessons learned from this experience which have caused be to slow down and attempt to understand the nuances of the Unity…
I’ve released the Rural to Urban City Tiles set to EDIBLE. I actually posted it over the weekend. This is a graphical tile set that replaces the city graphics in Empire Deluxe Combined Edition. This tile set uses the city efficiency to determine if it is a rural or urban city and will scale the graphics…
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.
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…
