hi!
I am organizing mini lan parties for children between 7 and 9 years.
For boys Glest in normal distribution is cool.
But now I want to explore the posibility to make girls play the game.
That's good. We currently have very few female players, or at least very few who are active on the forum.
Is there any mod/tileset/??? that can be used as a good choise for girls?
Something like fairy world, or barbie, etc...
The closest thing I can think of that's currently playable is a
garden mod, which includes plants, mushrooms, and other stuff. I haven't actually played it, but I've seen screens of it, and the mushroom faction seems like something you might like to use.
And another question is if we can make a mod that change normal behaviour of weapons, I am thinking in an scenario where a boy use Tech and a girl use Tinker world, and when a tinker attacks a tech worker becomes dizzy.. and after long exposure it dissapear.
Yes, you can do that in Glest Advanced Engine using the <effects> tag. It's really easy. For example, you could have the target get slowed down, or be unable to move/attack for a little while. In the next version of GAE (coming very soon), you'll be able to add particles to the effects, so you could also make the target sparkle and/or glow. I think you'll be able to use sounds for them as well, so maybe when the target gets hit with fairy dust, he can't move or attack, he sparkles a little bit, and snores!
thanks in advance,
Ale.
You're welcome.
