- Hello everybody out there..
-
- I'm going to start out on a BIG project, an AMOS clone of Civilization,
- here's a few improvements in relation to the original..
-
- - MUCH bigger maps
- - More various landtypes (Ideas, please !!)
- - More various units (Ideas, please !!)
- - More units allowed
- - More city improvements (Ideas, please !!)
- - Units gets XP's (So that an experienced unit is better than a rookie)
- - Possibility to be seveal human players
- - Upgrading units (keeping their XP's with new weappons)
- - Cities can expand their grounds (Getting VERY big)
- - City names can use 'special' characters (Æ, Ø, Å, Ü, etc.)
-
- I would love to hear about ideas and comments for this project, also I'm
- looking for people who'd like to test it as I'm getting along and I'd like
- to get in touch with some cool GFX people to draw landtiles and units.
-
- But, as i'm planing to open for 256 various landtiles and 65536 unittypes
- (I know sound wild, but planning it is easy), and I'd like to run everything
- on a 64 colours EHB screen (making all tiles 64 EHB too) gets me in serious
- trouble in relation to chip-ram (using icons/bobs), I've planed to reserve
- a work-bank and put 'em there and then transfering the tiles/units with
- Doke/Deek (width is 16). I know how that is done (not my first time), but
- I was wondering if anyone had a better way of doing this, but it has to use
- FAST-ram, (Cblocks is to slow, Icons and blocks uses Chip and loading from
- HD is to slow)...
-
- Just wondered, do you think it sounds to much to run on 64 colours screen ??
-
- NB: If any of you've got graphics on stock I'd be very grateful, so I'll
- have something to start on, The tile-size for both land and units will
- be 16*16 in 64c EHB...

- Happy greetings, Yours..
