Risk� Mod

Not a bump. Just putting it up here for the non-weekend crowd.

By the way, SJ gave me a good idea about putting supply back in. It will be used only for movement, not for weapons fire. This will help keep the AI obeying the rule about only attacking adjacent systems. Humans could play an alternate rules game without that house rule alltogether. THe lack of supply will be a limiting factor in how far your ships can range though.

Also I'm going to put together a map modeleded off teh game board.

Expect these changes in the next Version in a day or two. If anyone has any other suggestions, let's hear them.

This does sound like a really cool mod idea. I am very eager to see play it.

It is 100% possible to do that.

All systems would be the same, right? Just a single planet of a single size. You only need one entry in SystemTypes.txt. It can have movement towards center. An ability of 6 means it will be pulled to the center from anywhere in the system.

You like that? I thought it was a nice touch.

Hold down the alt key while typing 0153. I wanted to use it in the name and description in the PBW file library as well, but unfortunatly the PBW code doesn't seem to like it. Came out as a question mark, at least on my machine.

I have the map ready. It's a 42 system map with 8 common starting positions, based as exactly as I could make it on the board that comes with the original game. I am going to hold off releasing a new Version until I get the AI not colonizing issue worked out and add in supply usage, but if anyone wants a sneak peek at the map... YOU CAN GET IT HERE.
