Hm..perhaps a star trek mod could even be made.

AOL is my ISP and forsome reason I cannot download the scenarios. Could someone please email me the tolkienesque scenario.
Thanks in advance,
Robert

I think I've attached it to a PM. I have trouble getting into the site myself at times.

Seems to me that space could just be a different version of "oceans" as it has been in many space strategy games, with planets as islands. Have you seen that scenario in the latest Civ expansion that converted Civ into a Master of Orion-type game?

I have the Civ expansion, so I see where you are going with this. The problem would in trying to model the mostly ground based combat of EotFS with space transport to take troops from planet to planet. I guess you could make a huge map with "islands" in space to be planets. Kinda lame, I would think.

That is why I thought about story driven scenarios, each "set-piece" battles of a larger campaign. The first would be home planet pacification, next could be invasion of rival, next would be defense from aliens... all in a final bid to become emperor.

Warhammer 40K would be good in theory, but units rely so much on special abilities to demarcate them in that game, it might be a bit "bland." I wish someone would update Rites of War, which I liked very much.

Now a Dune - Battle for Arrakis scenario... that has HUGE potential. Need to brush up some desert squares with red to denote spice fields... [;)] Would feel great to have 50 Sardaukar collide against 100 Fremen warriors to see who wins! You could research "Wierding Modules" and produce Feydakin... it would be spectacular!

Hello Matto,

Maybe you tried to play the human only variant against the AI.
That version the AI can´t handle.
Pls make sure you uncheck the option i marked in the screen
when playing with AI´s.

Hi,[/align]I completly sure, I disabled it ... and now I tested it again. It creshed again ... AI step about 103, I think second AI after A-H ...[/align]

It look like The West AI problem ... when I started with The West (all others AI) than it works ...

Agreed, Rites of War...i remember that one...i think it stopped working with XP?

Do you remeber Warhammer 40,000: Liberation? Or Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate?
 
P. 

Oh yeah! I have been a fan since Shadow of the Horned Rat...awesome. Chaos Gate was an awesome tactical sim with some over the top voice-overs lol! I am a Wargamer, PC and board, but i have always had a fascination with Warhammer & Warhammer 40,000. I played Space Hulk for hours on end on my old 3D0...now that goes way back.

I am going to adress the crash of the AI in that downloadable scenario asap.

Hell,

Yeah, Chaos Gate was fantastic! "The Emperor orders you to... die!"
