Re: upgrade 2 IV Deluxe?
 

Never fear, after some tinkering and downloading of half a dozen different mods (Star Trek, great stuff) Ive been playing for all its worth. Now Ive got 12 days of leave Ive got to take before Oct. Hmmmmmmm!! Me thinks Ill need a shave and a haircut before I go back to work! Thanks for the help guys, Ive been been away from the game for some tiume trying new things but this is one I kinda drift back to everytime. As for SEV, Ive learned to wait a while on new games...got burnt real bad with MOO3 and Reach for the Stars.

Thanks all, Ill try to be more active, though the time for modding I fear is for not. I intend to try to learn anyway.

Join the club. I still have singe marks from those two....

Neener neener! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

I didn't waste my money on either one http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I took one look at the interview with the designer, where he talked about the changes to be expected in MOO3, and went, "Whoooey! that's sure going to suck unwashed monkey toes! No way am I wasting my money on that crap."

The corporate game industry of today is constitutionally incapable of re-creating any of the glories of the pre-corporate game world. Origins Systems is dead and gone. Nobody will ever make another Wing Commander Privateer. Sic transit gloria mundi.

But I do wonder what Steven and Grisel Barcia are doing these days http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

You want to hear one to make your spine crawl in horror? John Romero and Stevie Case are making mini-games for PDA's and cell phones. Lo, how the mighty have fallen http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Steve Barcia was involved with Metroid Prime on the Gamecube... OK, that was a few years back, but much more recent than MOO2 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Ed, oh really? I suppose making console games is one step above doing games for PDA's and cellphones http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I personally enjoyed MOM even more than MOO. I still play it sometimes http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: upgrade 2 IV Deluxe?
 

I wonder how long it will be until someone makes a MoM mod for Civ 4? There are working implementations of magic and spellcasting. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: upgrade 2 IV Deluxe?
 

Someone needs to make a MoM mod for SEV.

Re: upgrade 2 IV Deluxe?
 

Don't think that is really possible... unless you want to make "drones" into "spells." But even then, all you get are damaging spells (or summons).

Re: upgrade 2 IV Deluxe?
 

A MoM style mod. Not an exact conversion.

Re: upgrade 2 IV Deluxe?
 

I happened to go into a game store the other day, and lo and behold, they had SEIV Deluxe. Even though I have the original game and all of the latest patches, I went ahead and bought it. I was concerned, though, when it said that it was for W2000 and XP only, and that W98 and ME wouldn't be supported. Since those are the only 2 formats I've played the game on, should i be concerned? As soon as I get a working computer from this guy at work, I'll either have 98 or ME (depending on whether I can use my hard drive which had the ME on it). Also, what are the hardware requirements for SEV? I'm just hoping that this computer I'll be getting will play it.
