Western Empires (Scripted)

Description
Western Empires is a fast-paced, although very long, civilization/negotiation board game. It is a member of the 'civilization' family of games, a direct descendant of the "Mega Civilization" game.

This game is a real treat to play in person, if a bit of a pain to organize (especially with a pandemic raging). If you get a chance, you can purchase the physical game directly from the manufacturer. 9 of your friends spending an entire day playing a board game is well worth the sticker price.

But if you cannot arrange that, here is a mod to play on TTS! This is a variant on Brainfood's Western Empires mod with additional scripting and cleanup done to the assets.

Includes:
* Scripting for all steps, automated much of the slow parts
* Tech Management
* Census Management
* Calamity/GMing
* Deck Management (Discard/Reshuffle/Dealing)
* Two house rules related to keeping track of deterministic Calamity cards)
* Handling of combat/unit burn/ support tracking / hand limits. All tech integrated.

Enjoy!

Sadly i think the author passed away guys, hope it's not the case, cause with the last 3 years of tabletop updates this is now kind of broken and it's a shame we can't play it anymore :c

Also, you realize you made this game last from 8-12hs into 5-6hs average?

That's insane, you are a master mind, i'm speechless, word less, jaw dropped all together :cleandino:

Hope to see a tiny update soon, maybe with an extra QoL features, because we are just addicted to playing your creation :heart::steamthumbsup:

First of all, amazing masterpiece of a creation for the workshop, round of applause from all of our friends who played and modder friends to you, KUDOS! :heart: :2018bestaward:

Only few things that we had us happen (the calamity manager step not working with the players discard pile) and some that could be amazing if updated and implemented like:

>Have all the Tokens with the Toggles "Measure Movement" Enabled, this helps see what everyone is moving more clearly, and helps on simultaneous play A LOT!

>Have some sort of visual clue, of the units that moved, some "devious" or just "confused" friends moved units twice by mistake, because they didn't remember if they were moved or not.

like colouring or flipping them automatically to be displayed as moved or something that could help with that they suggested.

All in all, 10/10, highly recommended, this should be on workshop front-page, AMAZING! :happy_creep::heart:

Do you plan to include Easter Empires, thus making a Mega Empires game?

Initial impression very positive.

Tried to switch to expert AST, got an image file missing error (state 2 of AST). Not sure if it's supported, couldn't find an image.

Liking the updates, but still iffy about some things. The numbers displayed on the stacks of tokens are pretty hard to read at a distance, would be better if they were lighter, or maybe the color of the token. The highlight for tokens that have moved or things being changed is useful but kind of ugly right now. I'm sure with some tweaks it could be improved though.

Can you include a PDF of the Rulebook?

Literally just learned about this game, looking forward to checking out the mod!
