The Somewhat Official NW2.6 Thread

I have made many different threads over the last few months, so I've decided to consolidate.. anything related to Norbo's War v2.6 I'll put here. For those of you who haven't heard of Norbo's War, I'm not surprised.

Norbo's War is a map that has been called over the last.. hrm.. 17 versions the following, just to give those who haven't played it (95-99% of you) an idea:
"Sim-Earth"
"Civilization"
"WW3ish"
"Diplomacy"
"This map prefers other maps of the same gender and I hate you"
"best map ever!"
"The best part of this is building my economy"
"The best part of this is crushing you all"
Anyways...

Well, for my first Semi-Non-Kind-Of-Official post of uberness, I'm going to post a series of screens of NW2.6..
one at a time though over the next day or two. Don't want to haul off and do a quad-post..

This is a very old version's picture (Alright, I lied, not a 2.6). It shows my civilians running through the forest due to an impending disaster at the hand of gray. You might notice the bad coloring of the text (purplish gray) and small map size (192x192).. The map is now 256x256, I'll post screenies of it later.

Here's another picture.. Shows my hero getting ready to attack the enemy's general. You might notice the large amount of generals for testing.. The two abilities are 'Bolstered Armor' and 'KERO Multishot Blast'.

It is multiplayer, up to 12.. I'm in the process of getting it protected actually, so maybe later today.

Here's another pic.

It's a picture of my diminutive fleet going through the water. You might notice my income is.. in the negatives, to say the least. I had a large standing force that my small economy couldn't handle.

--- And yes, I saw the *'s too..

offtopic ya i know that happened to me too it was wierd

It's TFT only. The RoC versions had 100% custom abilities, so it became unplayable. I've redone all the abilities since then, as well as new ones.

You know what's stupid?

a) The screenshot with the ships have a huge negative.

b) That same screenshot has a little thing I laughed about even in the version 2.3 of Norbo's War: "produced" and "gained", when you are losing money :D

Yeh. It's great, isn't it? But it does make sense, unlike some other things I can name...

(Cough.. negative deceleration is acceleration but negative acceleration is not deceleration... what? (came from some random physics book. (parentheses. (nested parentheses!))))

I've extensively playtested the map and discovered a fairly fatal bug. (SERVER SPLIT AT BEGINNING)

As well as just some other minor fixes, I'm gonna release 2.7 later today to see if I can remedy the situation.
