[Abandoned] Research & Conquer

[-=- Tanarri -=-]

Sorry folks, but I just don't have the mojo to continue this for the time being. I request that this is placed on vacation.

Sorry to hear that this is going back to vacation, I had looked forward to seeing the progress and thought the map had been going in a nice direction.

Any chance that this map will have the work started on it again?

I hope very soon.

with the new xml it should be possible.

That's good to hear I hope with the new XML update it will give some motivation to finish the map. This map is about the only thing that would have me come back to play some games on the site. I've been doing my best to stay away for quite some time now.

[zimmah]

i could do the XML but only if the original guy does not show up or doesn't want to do it anymore.

[isaiah40]

I'll be starting on an update sometime in the next couple of weeks!

[-=- Tanarri -=-]

That's great to hear Isaiah, I certainly look forward to seeing what you come up with

[-=- Tanarri -=-]

I'm wondering if an update on this is still going to be worked on? I thought there was supposed to be something started nearly a month ago.

[koontz1973]

isaiah is probably busy with USA 2.1 at the moment. Pretty sure this one will not fall to the wayside but it might be a while.

Yes, it is still being worked on. I just had to find a good way to get the mountains done. I'll get an update this upcoming week for sure!!

[ManBungalow]

I don't really understand this map.

Could you clarify where the start positions are ?

[-=- Tanarri -=-]

It's not as easy to tell on this version of the map as it was on the previous version, but the starting points are SWC, WC, NC, NEC, EC, and SEC, as well as the matching laboratory.

Hi Isaiah, I'm wondering if you're still working on this map? You had mentioned more than a month ago that you were going to be posting something for the graphics and there hasn't been anything yet. Hoping this one isn't going to get put to Abandoned

No, I'm not going to abandon this. Decide that I will probably do this from scratch, but keeping the same game-play. I have been doing a couple of tutorials to get the mountains somewhat down. Right now I am slowly trudging along on my USA 2.1, and then I'll hopefully get something up for this. RL is real busy right now as I also am doing a revamp - 1 slight - of a couple of websites, plus my normal everyday job. I promise that this will not get thrown out to the swine under my watch!!

But you're 2 days from the deadline...remember to post an update (if you can) or I have to label this as abandoned in any case.

Hmmm ... I guess the deadline passed. Oh well, I still will work on this once a couple of other projects are finished.

It's good to hear that this isn't going to be abandoned. I've been looking forward to playing this map for more than 2 1/2 years now

[nolefan5311]

Well, we can't very well leave this on vacation at the moment, so I'm going to go ahead and label it as abandoned isaiah, but I trust you will make an update before someone else takes the idea

The six months of vacation for this map has expired and this map will now be labeled as [Abandoned]. If the original mapmaker wants to continue this map project that's fine but an update must provided. From this moment anyone else is free to take this project without the original mapmakers permission, but it has to be started from scratch.

[isaiah40]

Finally an update. Redid the map area with new terrain. Ignore all the other stuff. I played around with removing the dials and just have the gauges, but I used more room so I think the dials will stay, as they also denote the basic techs while the gauges will denote the advanced techs.

Spelling check: that should be "labouratories" or "laboratories".

Yea I forgot the "o"

Would you like back into the fray or left here?

Back you go then. May your scientists come up with new super weapons.
