Default Re: Classic Builds

You can create those as god files and upload the .2h
It might be best to name the god something like HB_Agartha so that when they go to use a saved god it will show up that way. Then you would start game including Agartha as a human player, load HB's god to it, and on the first turn make it a computer player.

These classic builds could also be scripted into map code which could be appended to a map. So if you wanted to play with HoneyBadger's Agartha and Gandalf Parker's Pangaea you could append HB_Agartha.txt and GP_Pangaea.txt to PerfectGame.map and start the game.

Great idea Gandalf, and thanks for contributing. I hope that you'll write up your Classic Pangaea build (and maybe some thoughts on overall strategy).

To extend Gandalf's idea, if the files have names like XX_Age_Nation.txt, it shouldn't be too hard to write a script to randomly choose one from a set of all builds for that era and nation and append it to a map.
