Bombur mod for ATG. Random scenario

[Bombur]

Four players

The Khaliphate: Bombur
The Empire: AI+
Old Empire: Iron Knight
Middle Kingdom: AI+

More info soon...

[Jeffrey H.]

Should be interesting.

[Bombur]

Turn one: The Middle Kingdom declared war on me while The Empire declared war on Iron Kinight. While I share a big continent with the middle Kingdom, most of the Chinese production centers are in another continent and another island, so he will need to carry troops by sea to win. I already started to produce torpedo boats to interdict his forces. Notice that early ships will use raw materials as fuel (submarines will use oil from start). In this mod, ships cost a lot of ore! Look at the strategic map.

[Bombur]

Game stopped because we got a new player. Rufus Firefly will take part in this game.


-This will be a 6 player game in a large map. Players are:

The Republic: Bombur
Eastern Empire: AI
Sun Empire: Iron Knight
The Confederates: AI
Holy Empire: Rufus T Firefly
Germania: AI

[Bombur]

Turn 2. Th Confederates declared war on me....seems to be a poor choice, since they will have only one city against three in the contested Island. Anyway, I´m starting to build torpedo boats

[Bombur]

Turn three.

Developed new infantry weapons, Surrounded a Confederate infantry division near the border. New divisions are rushing to the border area, and a counterattack will start as soon artillery is ready.

[Bombur]

There are two war fronts, first one is the central Island. I have a significant production advantage here, but the enemy could bring reinforcements by sea. Unfortunately, my brand new navy was anihilated by Confederate warships. Lost 5 torpedo boats and sunk a single destroyer, in the ground, however, I destroyed another enemy division.

[Bombur]

The second front is in the north continent, here the confederates have more cities, and, while I have two enclaves, one of them is threatened by Germania. This Front isn´t very active....

[Bombur]

Turn 6, no news......

You say that to play your mod with Random scenario creation you have to edit a file.

What file is it and what do I do?

[Bombur]

The defaultmod.txt scenario. You change the random game file from Generic.at2 to Bomburmod.at2.

So I change where it says "1,6,-415....", just as you have it? I am not supposed to touch line 2, "atgoldscenarios/generic.at2"?

It would be better not to replace the text in defaultmod.txt but save the text above in any other *.txt file and put it in the mods/ directory.

that way the player can choose which startup file to use.

best,

I tried this, but nothing is different with the buttons. The buttons are the same, and there is no extra button for another choice on the main menu.

I see what the problem is.  Your defaultmod thing doesn't work with the NATO graphics.  If I select "0" on the menu for NATO graphics, etc., then it works.


Thanks,


Alan

Turn 10, in the North the enemy is slowly advancing towards Coltar, I have few hopes to hold the city

[Bombur]

But in the South I´m winning. Losses were high for the enemy. He lost more than 200 infantry against 100 infantry lost by me.

[Bombur]

Turn 14. Suffered some setbacks in the South, my advance to Emerald was halted and I had fairly heavy losses including 4 artillery. In the North I´m holding ground and both sides are taking heavy losses
