<t>FWIW, I finally got this working...I don't know what was wrong, exactly, but I got it to work by going in and saving the victory hexes one-at-a-time.<br/>
<br/>
Interestingly, I could SEE victory hexes (well, flags) where I wanted them, they just weren't "saved." Weird.<br/>
<br/>
Thanks for the ...

Have you read Wild Bill's scenario design guides from the 'hall of fame' forum? Those might be helpful.


Naturally, but not in a long time...of course, with the new forums, I can't seem to find them (are they up?).

Victory Hex Problems During Scen Creation?

<t>I'm in the midst of designing a scen and I'm having trouble with getting my Victory Hexes to stick!<br/>
<br/>
That is, I place my hexes in the normal fashion, I see them on the screen...but when I open the scen to play, only *one* of them is left (the first one I placed).<br/>

<t>Thanks for the info, WB. I'd not found some of those sites before (most of them don't yet show up in normal google searches, for example). I grabbed a dozen or so new scens for myself to play with at work (cough cough).<br/>

That's a good point, but the idea behind this aspect of the scen is that the patrol boats and accompanying ferries actually have to MAKE it upstream in the first place.

Oh well.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, the design of the scenario is such that a 3-hex-wide river would yuck it up a little. I'll either abandon the attempt to make both sides playable by the computer or wreck the map some, I dunno'.

Thanks for the help!

AI and landing troops

<r>I'm working on a scen where I have a small fleet of troop-carrying boats that need to ferry up a river for a ways and drop their loads off in a small cove. <br/>

However, my attempts to get them to do anything but land troops the moment the troops are near enough to land have been futile ...

New Scen Depots?

<t>I've recently uploaded a new scen to the matrix-hosted Game Depot and I noticed that the "newest" scen on there is from...mid-July. I can't imagine that no one out there has developed a scen in almost 6 months, so I wonder: am I looking in the wrong place? Is there a more popular place to upload ...
