The Oregon Trail

[Tuxedo Templar]

About time, isn't it? I mean, for another one of my maps.

This time, it's based of ye ol' classic game Oregon Trail (that's right, the old Apple II one you probably played back in grade school.) I've payed a lot of attention to detail here and did some actual research on the real oregon trail, so I promise you this won't be some cheasy RPG involving shooting things that pop up along the way or anything silly like that. In fact, the only shooting that'll take place will be during hunting, which I must say, is a real blast once you get the hang of it!

Anyway, I'm aiming to have this done sometime by the end of next week, so for now, here are some screenies for your viewing pleasure:

Chillin' at the Kansas River crossing:

To Toll or not to Toll. That is the question. You can either take the toll road straight to the Willamette valley, or go down the Columbia river rapids. Whichever you prefer.

Here's a shot of the travel option menu, activated by using siege mode on your 'wagon'.

Anyway, I suppose that's all for now.

Is it just me or did you spell "immigrants" wrong in the 2nd screen shot?

 

[inc]

GG Tux, "previous" is also spelt wrong.
Didn't know they had roads back then

You guys don't know the definition of an emigrant, you shouldn't even be allowed to play oregon trail if you don't know the definition of an emigrant.

Emigrant is the contrary of immigrant. Don't believe me?

Next time don't sleep in class

 

[Vanguard]

Ah, so it's just me. I stand corrected!

 

[Wing Zero]

a question are u gonna have occupatiants and deaths like the real game?

 

[Bolt Head]

Is the whole map visable for Testing?

 

[Tuxedo Templar]

Yes there are occupations and deaths. I just ran it in single player and used Black Sheep Wall to get the full map visable, but it won't be visable while playing normally. As for the road you see, that is only at the very beginning, after which you sorta have to guess at where the trail is (you can get lost, too!) :lucifer

 

[KillerMe]

Are you going to be a single unit (IE: Reaver), and when you do actions like hunt your guys "unload" out of the wagon?

 

[Wing Zero]

he sry for the more bombaring of questions, is the wagon gonna break from time 2 time and 1 more thing can u buy oxes?

 

[Crazy Demon]

Wait. You are going to share the map with us when you are done right?

And is this for Single-player or Mult-player or both?
